The Rogue is a Female Alpha novel Chapter 321

I woke up to find myself in a familiar yet strangely new bedchamber. My head turned slowly. and I realized I was in Lycannar’s rooin, in the restored Black Tower.

A soft sigh of relief escaped my lips, and I began to sit up when a gentle but firm voice halted

“Don’t you dare.”

Princess Mearez sat at the table. I hadn’t noticed her before. She was carefully packing up her healer’s tools, and once she finished, she came to sit beside me, her eyes searching mine.

The silence between us was so heavy it made me swallow hard. My mind raced. What happened?

Wait, earlier today, I went to the Ash Pack. Varyn and I fought. Jurrek came between us, took a stand, and shocked Varyn to silence. Then… I said my farewell and left, feeling dizzy and weak.

The memory hit me fully then. I arrived here, and passed out.

gods. I passed out right before Lycannar?

“Where is my mate?” I asked suddenly, my heart quickening.

Princess Mearez placed her cool palm on my forehead, checking my temperature. A quiet sigh escaped her lips.

“I have never seen my brother as scared as he was today,” she said softly. “So worried… so shaken. Do you have any idea what you did to him?”

I looked down, speechless, blinking slowly. I could imagine it.

“I’ve been dizzy lately,” I murmured. “Nauseous. I thought it was lack of sleep, the stress, my appetite…”

“That’s not it, Zephyrine.” Mearez’s voice gentled as she cupped my cheek. “No. That’s not what’s been weighing you down, and not why you fainted.”

My heart thudded hard.

“Wait… am I… dying?” I asked.

“You’re program, Zephyame the whispered. Her voice trembled as rears gathered in her eyes.

You’re crying the heh, on heiress, of this kingdom”

Hier words struck like lightning. My breath caught, and disbelief flooded me.

“Program!” Techoed. “How could I be pregnant? That’s impossible. The Moon Goddess told me I could never bear a child until I accepted my second–chance mate wholeheartedly, and…”

“And haven’t you done that already?” Mearez interrupted softly. Her eyes were steady on mine. “You know what Lycannar is, yet you still love him. Your brother raised an army to destroy this kingdom, and you chose love over blood. You saw his horns, his true self, yet you didn’t flinch. You didn’t choose a race, Zephyrine, you chose him. You shared his bed without fear. Tell me, isn’t that acceptance?”

Her words sank deep, stirring tears in my eyes. My throat burned.

“Why am I so blessed then?” I whispered. “Lycannar is the man I love, the one the Moon Goddess granted me. He and I spoke so often of pups… and now she’s granted it. Why am I so blessed, Princess Mearez? Or did the Goddess give me this joy only to take it away in the end?”

At that. Mearez sighed heavily. The look she gave me was full of love and worry. The war loomed over us like a storm, and she knew it.

“Lycannar is downstairs pacing,” she said quietly. “He’ll come soon to know why you fainted. You’ll be his wife in days, and I’ll give you the honor of telling him yourself…”

“Can I keep it a secret for now?” I interrupted suddenly.

Her eyes widened in disbelief.

“He’s the father of this pup, Zephyrine. He has every right to know this instant.”

“I know,” I said quickly, sighing. “But you know how Lycannar is. The moment he finds out, he’ll forbid me from stepping foot in battle. He’ll shield me from everything and fight alone. I can’t let that happen. This war began with my brother, it’s my fight too. Please, Princess Mearez. Let me tell him when I’m ready.”

She looked torn. I could see her wanting to refuse, to scold me, but she knew I was right. If Lycannar learned I was pregnant, his protectiveness would become suffocating. As if it wasn’t

even now.
