HIS LUNA BY MISTAKE, A MOTHER BY FATE

Aria's POV.  

"Congratulations, Luna Aria. You're finally going to be a mother!"  

The doctor's words hit me like a thunderclap.  

"What?" the word escaped my lips before I could stop it.  

"The heir to the Silverfang Pack is growing in your womb. You're two weeks gone, Aria," Lea, the pack doctor, who also happened to be my best friend, confirmed, smiling brightly.  

My mouth parted, eyes brimming with tears.  

Three years.  

I had waited three whole years to hear that news again.  

The first time I heard those words, I felt despair wash over me. But this time around, I was overwhelmed with joy. Joy that I was going to make him a father-that the Silverfang Pack would finally have an heir. 

"I'm so happy for you, Aria. The moon goddess has finally answered your prayers after praying to her for three years. I'm sure your husband will be so thrilled to hear this," Lea rejoiced with me. She stood up and walked to my side, holding my hands in hers.  

At the mention of my husband, the smile on my face vanished instantly. 

My husband.  

By my husband, she meant Alpha Kael-the leader of the Silverfang Pack. The very man whose name alone struck terror and made the enemies tremble to their feet.  

The man who had no choice but to claim me as his mate, and marry me when a one-night stand left me pregnant with his child.  

We lived like strangers. He hated the sight of me and avoided being in the same space as me. He only came to my bed out of obligation and by morning, he would be gone. 

Whenever I tried starting a conversation with him, he would cut me off with the excuse that he was tired and we could have the conversation the next day. But his tomorrow never came-he kept postponing until I lost interest in whatever I had to discuss with him.  

I thought giving him an heir would make him notice me-make him fall in love with me as I had always anticipated. So, I kept trying for three years to carry his heir again. 

But now that my dream had been actualized, why did I feel like something was missing?  

Doubt clawed its fingers at me, my chest tightened.  

"Will he even care?" the thought sank deep into my chest.  

"Aria... Aria..." Lea tapped, pulling me out of my thoughts.  

"What is it? You look so lost in thoughts. Aren't you happy with the news?" she asked, her voice laced with worry.  

Happiness? I haven't felt that since the day I married Kael. More precisely, not since the day his first love left him because of me.  

Vivienne was supposed to be his Luna. On the night of the Alpha Ascension-the night Kael was crowned the Alpha of the pack, everyone was so happy that we partied and ended up drunk.  

That night, Kael in his drunken state, mistook me for Vivienne, and we ended up spending
