ELIRA POV
The question hung in the room like a blade pressed against my throat.
“Who is the father?”
Kael’s eyes never left mine,it was sharp enough to cut through every lie I could possibly tell.
My lips parted,but nothing came out.
Adrian stepped forward. “That’s enough.”
Kael ignored him completely.
“Elira.”
The way he said my name this time made my chest tighten painfully.
I looked away first because I couldn’t survive looking at him right now.
“It’s yours.” The words barely came out above a whisper.
Even the warriors behind Kael seemed frozen.
Kael’s Alpha aura burst out so heavily that the air became difficult to breathe.
Lucien stepped forward.
“Kael.” Lucien said Kael didn’t answer.
His eyes stayed locked on me and on my stomach.
Something unreadable moved across
