Chapter: Chapter 131Natasha's POVI was packing the last of Jayden's things into the diaper bag when Ryan walked into the bedroom carrying their suitcase."Did you remember his stuffed bear?" Ryan asked, setting the suitcase by the door."Already in the bag." I replied, zipping it closed."Along with extra diapers, wipes, bottles, his blanket, and enough baby food to last a week."Ryan laughed. "We are only going for four days.""Better to have too much than not enough," I said, lifting the bag. "Trust me on this."We had decided to take a trip to the cabin by Crystal Lake, about three hours north of pack territory. It was a place Ryan's family had owned for years, quiet and peaceful, surrounded by forest and water. After everything they had been through, we needed this time away.Jayden was already in his car seat, playing with a plastic ring toy. He looked up at them and smiled, showing his few tiny teeth."Ready to go, little man?" Ryan asked, adjusting the straps of the car seat.Jayden babbled in re

Chapter: Chapter 130Ryan's POVThe morning sun felt warm on my face as I walked through the pack grounds. The sound of hammers and saws filled the air. Pack members were everywhere, working together to rebuild what had been destroyed during the attack.I stopped near the training grounds where a group of young wolves were fixing the damaged fence. They looked up when they noticed me approaching."Alpha Ryan.” One of them said, wiping sweat from his forehead. "We should have this section done by tonight.”"Good work, Marcus," I said, patting his shoulder."Take breaks when you need them, we are not in a rush."He smiled and nodded. "We want to get it done fast to show that we are stronger than before."I moved on, making my way toward the main hall. The building had taken the most damage, but now I could see the new walls going up. The structure was solid, better than what we had before.Elder Thomas stood near the entrance, looking over some plans with two other pack members. He saw me and walked over.

Chapter: Chapter 129NATASHA’S POVThe house was quiet in the way it only ever was after something terrible had happened and somehow passed. The lights were dim. The baby monitor sat on the nightstand, the soft sound of our son breathing steady and calm. I stood in the bedroom, my back to the door, my hands resting on the edge of the dresser.I could still feel the fight in my body. Not the painbthat was manageable but the tension. My muscles felt tight, like they were waiting for something else to go wrong.Ryan closed the door behind him.“Did he fall asleep?” I asked without turning.“Yes.” He said. “He didn’t even fuss.”I nodded. “Good.”There was a pause I heard his footsteps, slow and careful, stopping a few feet behind me.“You shouldn’t be standing.” He said. “You need to rest.”“I know.” I replied. “I just needed a minute.”He came closer his hands settled on my waist, gentle and warm. He didn’t press he didn’t pull he just stayed there.“You scared me today.” He said quietly.I exhaled. “You sc

Chapter: Chapter 128RYAN’S POVThe SUV rolled through the pack gates just after sunset, headlights cutting across familiar ground. My shoulders finally eased when the wards accepted us. Home modern steel fences, security lights, and hidden magic layered beneath it all this place was the only spot in the world where I could breathe without counting exits.Tasha sat beside me, her jaw tight, one hand pressed lightly against her side. The scent of blood still lingered beneath the antiseptic wipes I had used earlier. It wasn’t fresh anymore, but it wasn’t healed either.“You should’ve let me carry you.” I said as I parked.She shot me a look. “And have the entire pack panic? I’m fine.”Stubborn. Always.Inside the house, the low hum of the baby monitor hit my ears immediately. Our son’s scent followed warm milk, powder, and that faint pulse of pack magic he didn’t even know he carried yet. Relief flooded me so fast it made my chest ache.I locked the door and turned to Natasha. “Sit. Please.”This time, She

What could be so urgent?As I arrived, Larry greeted me with a worried expression. “Alex, sorry to disturb your evening, but we have a major issue.”“What is it?” I asked, impatience creeping in.“Our servers have been hacked. Client data is at risk.” He replied.I cursed under my breath. “Get our tech team on it. Now.”Just as we began brainstorming solutions, my phone buzzed. An unknown number.“Hello?” I answered.“Alexander King.” A low, menacing voice replied on the other end.My instincts kicked in. “Who is this?”“You don't need to know.

Chapter: Chapter 104Alexander's POVTears streamed down my face as I heard Layla's whispering into my ears.“I will stand by you, Alex. Even if you decide to push me away.”My heart melted.I was selfish. I shouldn't have desired a family. It was too much for me to desire happiness with my family.I pretended to sleep, Layla's words echoing in my mind. She deserved better than a life filled with hospital visits and constant worry. But I couldn't bear the thought of losing her.As we arrived home, Layla helped me to my room, her silence a testament to her concern. I knew she must have done research on Hemophilia A, trying to understand the reality we faced.It wasn't as bad as she supposed. I have been taking care of myself since I was young. I let her think I was asleep, but I watched her through slightly opened eyes. Her determination and love were a healing to my soul.The next few days passed in a blur. Layla took care of me, nursing my hand back to health.I told her not to worry that it wasn't as
