Chapter 41 : Dream And Reality
“I want you, Rosalie.” Ethan’s soft whisper wrapped around me as we lay tangled in the sheets, our bodies molding together in heated passion.
“Don’t leave me,” I begged him.
He forced me to look at him. My fingers ran though his jet-black hair, and my gaze met with his clear blue eyes.
He was my gorgeous Alpha. He was my world.
Over and over again, he made me come undone around him. The feeling of him sliding in and out of me made my mind spiral.
I wanted him-all of him, always.
His hands brushing over my bare skin sent shivers through my body. “You are mine forever, Rosalie- and I am forever yours.”
His declaration made the love I had for him grow. I knew there was no way that I would ever get over how he made me feel.
Yet, as the passion grew between us, he suddenly felt so far away.
His body was sliding away from me, leaving me with an empty feeling inside.
“Ethan?”
My panic-filled voice drifted in an endless sea of darkness, and the sound of whispers drew me out of that place of lust and desire until, finally, my eyes opened.
A groan of disappointment left my lips as I rolled over, facing the bedroom door, which was cracked slightly open.
It was a dream, and it had been more than an amazing dream. Everything that had happened was something | wished deep down would come true, but I knew better than to get my hopes up.
“What are you going to do?”

A voice from the living room caught my attention, and I knew right away it belonged to Talon.
“What do you mean, what am I going to do? You were there in the meeting, too. I have to marry Madalynn and let Rosalie go,” Ethan’s voice replied.
This wasn’t anything surprising. Everyone in the Capital knew. However, hearing it out of Ethan’s mouth caused more pain than I expected.
“Even if Madalynn will bring chaos to our pack?” Talon asked.
“The Luna Queen can not have children, and my child will be the heir to the throne one day. We’re talking about a qualified Luna here, Talon.”
Qualified…of course. I would never be a “qualified” Luna like Madalynn. The support that her pack could provid to Ethan and to this kingdom was something I could never offer.
My mother and I were the last survivors of her family. When I was young, I asked her about my maternal grandparents, but she refused to tell me much. Although she was beautiful and graceful, she couldn’t have been from any noble or powerful bloodline. And my father he was only an alpha of a small pack, one that could be wiped out as easily as any of the powerhouse alphas wiggling their fingers.
Perhaps the only good use for my alpha blood really was making me a competent breeder.
Thad a bitter taste in my throat.
“But things have changed since Rosalie came to us. We all care about her
even you.”
Theld my breath, and how I wished I would hear a word of affirmation from him.
Thad noticed a change with him since we came to the capital, and especially since he found out I was pregnant. I wanted more than anything for the dream I had just lived to come true, although I knew it would never happen.
Don’t assume you know how I feel,” Ethan’s rough voice replied, and it was obvious he was growing irritated. “I did everything for the baby.”
I sighed bitterly. Rosalie, you should’ve known better…
“Just for the baby?” Talon protested quietly. “Ethan, I have known you since we were boys, and we both know that isn’t true.”
“So?” Ethan repeated plainly, and I could tell he was losing his patience. Then, as if he was persuading himself, he added, “It was the king’s order. I can’t keep her.”
It took me a second to take in that news, but I found myself not even feeling resentful towards the King’s decision.
I wanted to be part of my child’s life. The idea of begging Ethan to allow me to stay had been in my mind- until he agreed to marry Madalynn.
I couldn’t bring myself to be with Ethan after his marriage – and it wouldn’t be fair for his bride, either.
“You know that’s not what I was talking about!” Talon said, his voice rising.
“Will you f*cking keep it down?” Ethan replied in a harsh tone, and he walked over to close the door fully.
It was obvious I wasn’t supposed to hear whatever they were discussing. Unfortunately, people seemed to forget that I bore Alpha blood. My senses were quite sharp- especially when it ca
My instincts told me I shouldn’t continue to listen, but I couldn’t help myself.
“Nothing has changed, Talon.”
“Please
give yourself some time to reconsider it,” I heard Talon plead, a slight panic surging in his voice.
“Talon, you knew the plan when she came to us. I warned you not to get close to her, but you didn’t listen. You and your sister will have to deal with the consequences of that when she’s gone.”
He didn’t want me to stay. After all, I was nothing but a convenience to him. Someone to carry his child- and when I was done, I would be cast aside.
