Pregnancy Relationships

Each time she knelt to "catch" another wriggling baby - nearly 3,000 times during her remarkable career - California midwife Peggy Vincent paid homage to the moment when pain bows to joy and the world makes way for one more. With every birth, she encounters another woman-turned-goddess: Catherine rides out her labor in a car careening down a mountain road. Sofia spends hers trying to keep her hyper doctor-father from burning down the house. Susannah gives birth so quietly that neither husband nor midwife notice until there's a baby in the room.

During Mardi Gras, anything can happen—even being auctioned to a monstrous alpha who refuses to let you go. Selene Mardi Gras was supposed to be my last wild night of freedom—one final reckless adventure before I disappeared for good. But instead of waking up with a hangover, I wake up in chains.

I was never supposed to be found. Now, I am their prey. Elara They dragged me through the gates of Alarian Omega Academy, my mouth full of blood, my wrists raw from the ropes. I fought like hell, but it didn’t matter. I was an unclaimed omega in a world ruled by alphas—nothing more than a prize to be broken, owned, and bred. The academy wasn’t just a school. It was a prison. A place where defiance was beaten out of you, where the trials would strip away my will until I begged for an alpha’s claim. But I wasn’t like the others.
