Buried by My Alpha Crowned novel Chapter 1

Chapter 1

Just a door away, the conversation in the corner of the medical wing continued.

"Get the OR ready. Remove her womb. Make sure it’s done before she wakes."

The pack healer went rigid with shock.

"Alpha... Remove her womb?!"

"Alpha—you don't have an heir! You do this, the pack will have no heir. The pack elders will never accept it!"

Cassian's voice was ice-cold, devoid of emotion.

"I don’t need an heir from Evelyn Carter. Annabelle delivered my heir yesterday. He will inherit everything. Evelyn’s womb is a threat."

The healer's face crumpled with disbelief.

"But that boy will carry another man's name, call another man Alpha. After seven miscarriages, The chances of Luna carrying another are barely there."

Cassian lit a cigarette, his voice bitter.

"Annabelle is my true mate, I’d do anything for her, I don't care some Moon Goddess pairing."

"Alpha, but—"

"Enough." He frowned. "Do it."

Just as Cassian got up to go, his phone buzzed. He hit speaker by mistake.

"Alpha, got the cash. Hell, after seven jobs, I could do this shit in my sleep. Next time, I’ll wear a vampire disguise—really carve up that Luna's belly—"

"No next time. Take your money and disappear from Moonvale."

Footsteps approached from deeper inside.

I stumbled back to my room, barely making it to the bed before Cassian entered.

"Evelyn, you're up. When did you wake up?"

Sweat beaded on my forehead as I fought to appear normal.

"Just woke up. You weren't here, so I thought I'd stretch my legs."

Cassian, you've slaughtered seven of my children. Now you want to steal my very ability to be a mother?

He didn't even pause, stroking my hair with that practiced tenderness.

"Come on, don't be difficult. You need your strength to heal. You want your Alpha to worry himself sick?"

"Let me help you with that."

He pressed the glass to my lips, his grip firm enough that refusal wasn't an option.

I closed my eyes, each swallow feeling like liquid fire burning down my throat.

As the drugs took hold, I saw the healer slip into the room through my blurring vision.

"Begin immediately. And..."

Cassian's voice dropped to barely a whisper.

"Make sure she can’t walk again."
