Chapter 156

• Azalea lay restless next to her mate, Alpha Dimitri, in the dark of night. His deep breaths indicated he was already lost in slumber, but her mind was consumed by thoughts of Alpha Alex. Tears welled up in her eyes as she recalled the devastating news of his death earlier that day. Despite her efforts to bury her feelings for Alex, her first love, she couldn't ignore the special place he held in her heart.
• As she shifted uncomfortably on the bed, Azalea placed a hand on her stomach, gently rubbing the small bump that held Alex's unborn child. A mix of emotions churned within her as she grappled with the weight of her secret. Dimitri believed he was the father of her child, and she prayed he wouldn't uncover the truth.
• Unable to find solace in sleep, Azalea gently nudged Dimitri awake. "I'm sorry for waking you," she whispered softly, her voice strained with emotion. Dimitri blinked groggily, his eyes adjusting to the dim light filtering through the curtains. Concern etched his features as he sensed Azalea's unease.
