Kieran’s POV

Shuddering lightly, I shook my head.

I needed to clear my head.

The scent of alcohol clung to Naya, mixing with the soft, familiar lavender that always wrapped around me whenever she was near.

But there was something stronger tonight—something in the way she looked at me, eyes hazy yet sharp, filled with raw emotion that burned right through my restraint.

I exhaled slowly, pressing my palms against the mattress beneath me to ground myself.

“What the hell are you doing, Naya?” My voice came out rougher than I intended, my body tense beneath hers.

She blinked at me, her brows pulling together in a frown as if trying to process my words.

“I—” she started, then paused.

A tipsy giggle escaped her lips as she swayed slightly in her position straddling my waist. “Kieran, you—you talk too much.”

My jaw clenched. “You’re drunk.”

She grinned. “Maybe.”

I sighed, gripping the sheets tighter to keep my hands from doing something reckless—like grabbing her and-.

  • Avoiding My Alpha Baby Daddy    Chapter 14. Talk Dirty to me.

    Naya’s POV I kissed him with everything I had. My lips crushed against his, raw and desperate, pouring every ounce of emotion I had bottled up inside. I didn’t care if I was being reckless. I didn’t care if I was drunk or if I’d regret this in the morning. All I knew was that I loved him. And I needed him to know. Kieran froze for half a second—just long enough for my heart to hammer in fear that he might push me away. Then, he snapped. A deep growl rumbled from his chest as his hands tightened around my waist. He yanked me closer, molding my body against his, and then he kissed me back—hard. I gasped against his lips, my fingers tangling in his dark hair as he devoured me. His mouth was hot, demanding, full of frustration and need. I moaned softly, and the sound seemed to undo him. Kieran’s grip became almost bruising as he pulled me onto his lap, his large hands pressing into my back, keeping me flush against him. His lips moved against mine with growing urge

    Naya's PovKieran wasn’t just kissing me. He was claiming me, consuming me, making sure I knew exactly how much he wanted me. A whimper slipped past my lips, and he groaned, his grip tightening. “Tell me to stop,” he rasped against my lips. I exhaled shakily. “I won’t.” A curse left his lips before he devoured me again, his hands sliding lower, exploring, teasing— God I was going to go mad.Kieran hovered over me, his bright eyes dark with something I had never seen before—something wild, unrestrained. His breath came out ragged, his body taut with tension, as if he were fighting an unseen war within himself. I didn’t want him to fight it. I arched up, pressing myself against him, my fingers tracing the sharp lines of his jaw. “Don’t stop.” His muscles tensed beneath my touch. A sharp exhale left his lips before he suddenly grabbed my chin, tilting my head back. His gaze flickered over my face, searching as if looking for hesitation—a reason to stop. I gave him

  • Avoiding My Alpha Baby Daddy    Chapter 16. Guests.

    Naya’s POV A soft sigh left my lips as I stirred awake, my limbs stretching lazily beneath the covers. A delicious ache settled deep in my muscles, a warmth that reminded me of exactly what had happened last night. My eyes blinked open slowly, adjusting to the dim morning light filtering through the large bedroom windows. For a brief moment, I was confused—the heavy weight draped over my waist, the warmth pressed against my back, the faint scent of cedar and musk wrapping around me like a cocoon. Then, his arm tightened. I sucked in a sharp breath as I felt Kieran’s strong arm pull me closer, his bare chest molding perfectly against my back. His steady breathing tickled my ear, sending a wave of shivers down my spine. Oh. A rush of heat flooded my face as memories from the previous night came crashing back. The way he touched me. The way he whispered my name like a prayer. The way he claimed me. I bit my lip, trying to suppress the giddy smile threatening to sprea

  • Avoiding My Alpha Baby Daddy    Chapter 17. Drugged

    Naya's POV I didn’t react. I didn’t let my face show anything but quiet neutrality as I excused myself from Lucien’s presence. A flicker of amusement crossed his expression, as if he expected me to shrink beneath his gaze—to lower my head and submit like the Omega he thought I was. But I did neither. Instead, I turned on my heel and walked away. I could still feel his gaze boring into my back, but I didn’t stop. My heart pounded in my chest, my skin crawling from his lingering presence. As I reached my room, I closed the door behind me and let out a slow breath. I couldn’t let this escalate. Kieran had worked too hard to establish diplomatic relations, and the last thing I wanted was to be the reason it crumbled. So I made a decision. I would avoid Lucien. I would stay out of his way, keep myself occupied, and wait for Kieran to return. Even if it meant biting my tongue, I wouldn’t cause a scene. At least, that was the plan. --- Lucien didn’t make avoida

  • Avoiding My Alpha Baby Daddy    Chapter 18. Miscarriage.

    Naya's POV The first thing I noticed was the cold. It seeped into my skin, chilling me from the inside out. My body felt heavy, my limbs sluggish, my breaths slow and shallow. I tried to move, but a strange numbness held me captive. Something was wrong. I blinked groggily, my vision swimming as I attempted to make sense of my surroundings. I wasn't in the courtyard anymore, rather I had been moved to one of the many indistinguishable guest rooms in the Manor.My hands clenched on the foreign sheets I was laid in.I pushed past the bile that wanted to rise in my throat at the thought of someone moving my unconscious body here.The place was dark, the only source of light coming from the moon filtering through the curtains. The scent of the tea still lingered on my tongue, now bitter, almost metallic. And then I heard it. Footsteps. Slow. Measured. Approaching. A sickening sense of déjà vu coiled in my gut. I felt trapped. Vulnerable. Hunted. Far too familiar

    Kieran's POV Lies. She said it so calmly, as if she wasn’t nearly on death’s doorstep. Something wasn’t right. I turned to the doctor, my eyes flashing dangerously. "What kind of poison?" The doctor shifted nervously. “It was a—” He stopped abruptly. I caught it. That brief flicker of hesitation. "You were about to say something else," I pressed. His lips parted, but before he could speak, Naya's fingers tugged at my sleeve. I turned back to her. "There's nothing else," she said softly. "I’m fine now." I narrowed my eyes. She was hiding something. The maids were hiding something. Even the doctor was hiding something. I could sense it, feel it in my bones. But I didn’t push. Not yet. Instead, I exhaled through my nose and nodded. "Fine." For now. But I wasn’t done. Naya gave me another small smile, one that didn’t quite reach her eyes. “I just need some rest.” "Then rest," I muttered, brushing my knuckles against her cheek. She leaned into my t

  • Avoiding My Alpha Baby Daddy    Chapter 20. Assurance.

    Naya’s POVThe sky outside was grey, heavy with the promise of rain. I sat by the window, knees tucked to my chest, watching the first drops hit the glass. It had been days since I last saw Kieran. Since the blood. Since the war drums had begun to beat. No one said it outright, but I wasn’t blind. Kieran’s men moved with urgency. The tension in the air was suffocating. Conversations died when I walked into a room. This was my fault. I had known from the start that an Omega and an Alpha standing together would bring trouble. But I had let myself hope, let myself believe things could be different. And now? Now, Kieran was out there somewhere, dealing with the fallout, while I was kept here, shielded from the chaos. A part of me was grateful. The other part hated it. A knock at the door pulled me from my thoughts. "Come in," I said, my voice quieter than I intended. The maid, Elise, stepped inside, carrying a tray of food. She hesitated before speaking. "Miss Na

    My breath hitched. I wanted to believe him. I wanted to believe that our feelings were stronger than the weight of the world pressing down on us. But I knew better. I knew that loving Kieran meant losing him one day. Maybe to his enemies. Maybe to the war. Or maybe to the truth, I was too afraid to tell him. Because one day, he would find out. And I didn’t know if he’d ever forgive me. ---Kieran's povI left Naya’s room only when I was certain she had fallen asleep. But sleep wouldn’t come for me. I made my way down the halls, my mind racing. The war wasn’t just a possibility anymore. It was a guarantee. I had killed one of their men. And now, they would come for mine. As I stepped into my private study, I found several of my most trusted men already waiting. Lukas, my second-in-command, was leaning against my desk, arms crossed. "They’ve sent a warning." I scoffed. "A warning?" "A declaration of war." He tossed a parchment onto my desk. "They wa

    Naya's POV The fluorescent lights of the waiting room hummed, a monotonous drone that seemed to amplify the silence. It was a sterile, cold sound that vibrated through my bones, mirroring the icy dread that had taken root in my soul. The air itself felt thick, heavy with unspoken fears and desperate hopes clinging to the edges of reality. Two hours. Two hours we had waited, each minute stretching into an eternity, punctuated only by the rhythmic beeping of machines and the hushed whispers of nurses passing by. Two hours of praying, pleading with a universe that seemed deaf to our cries, and desperately clinging to the fragile hope that Aiden, my sweet, beautiful boy, would be okay.Finally, the door to the emergency room swung open, and a doctor emerged. His face was grim, etched with a weariness that mirrored the exhaustion that had settled deep within my own being. His eyes, usually bright and filled with a professional detachment, were clouded with a somber empathy that sent

Men were fighting, their faces contorted with rage, their bodies locked in a brutal dance of death.And in the center of it all, I saw him. Elder Walsh, his eyes burning with fanaticism, his hands raised in a gesture of power.I felt exhausted, my arms arching and bloodstained from fighting off so many enemies, all to survive.And then, I saw Aiden.He was running, his small legs pumping, his face streaked with tears. He was shouting, his voice hoarse, his words lost in the din of battle."Julian! Mom!"My heart leaped into my throat. He was here. He was alive.But he was running straight into danger."Aiden!" I screamed, my voice raw with terror. "No! Get back!"Elder Walsh saw him, his eyes widening with a predatory gleam."Get him!" he roared, his voice cutting through the chaos.

    Naya's POV Tobias stepped forward, his face set in a hard line. “Back off, you Old bastard,” he said, his voice low and dangerous. “You’ve got the wrong kid.”The Elder chuckled. “Oh, I don’t think so, Tobias,” he said, his eyes twinkling. “I know exactly who I have. That’s why I waited for the star of the show to arrive.”One of the Elder’s men stepped forward, dragging someone behind him. My heart skipped a beat.It was Julian.Isadora screamed, her face contorting with anguish. “Julian!” she cried, her voice cracking. “What did you do to him?”The Elder smiled coldly. “Don’t worry, my dear,” he said, his voice smooth as silk. “We haven’t harmed him… yet.”Isadora turned to her father, her eyes pleading. “Please, Father,” she begged. “I don’t want to be a part of this anymore. Not if it means hurting Julian. He’s the only family I have left.”The Elder’s smile vanished, replaced by a look of cold fury. “Silence, Isadora,” he snapped. “You will do as you’re told.”He turned back to

    Naya's pov I woke up with a gasp, my heart hammering against my ribs like a trapped bird. The last thing I remembered was Julian saying something about Aiden being in danger, and then… nothing. Just blackness. I pushed the blanket off my lap and sat up, my head throbbing. It felt like a giant was using my skull as a drum.“Ugh,” I groaned, pressing my hand to my forehead. The cottage was silent, eerily so. Where was everyone?I stumbled off the couch, my legs wobbly. “Tobias? Aiden?” I called out, my voice trembling. No answer.Panic clawed at my throat. Everything was a mess. The cushions were askew, a half-finished drawing lay abandoned on the coffee table, and the air was thick with a sense of… dread.I ran to the window, peering out into the fading light. The car was gone. My breath hitched in my throat. He’d left. He’d taken the others and left me behind.Tears welled up in my eyes, blurring my vision. I felt abandoned, useless. But I couldn’t afford to fall apart. Aiden w

    Tobias’s POVThe city air still clung to my clothes, a greasy film of exhaust and hurried footsteps. I’d spent the afternoon weaving through crowded streets, trying to finalize the last-minute details for the wedding.Naya deserved the best, and I was determined to give it to her, even if it meant battling grumpy florists and haggling with caterers who thought they were serving ambrosia instead of fried chicken. My phone buzzed in my pocket, pulling me from my mental checklist of seating arrangements and cake flavors. It was a message from the Elder.My stomach clenched as I read the words. They were laced with a thinly veiled threat, a demand for allegiance. He wanted me to join him, to fall in line with his plans, or he would… well, he didn’t explicitly say what he’d do, but the implication was clear: he'd make my life, Naya’s life, Aiden’s life, a living hell."Don't blame me when everything falls into pieces," the message concluded.I scoffed, a bitter sound in the busy street

I couldn't believe he had said all those things to me.As I reached the front of the school, I saw Isadora waiting for me. She looked pale and anxious."Aiden," she said, her voice trembling. "We have to go. Now."I frowned. "What's wrong?" I asked."There's no time to explain," she said, grabbing my hand. "We have to leave. Your Grandfather wants to see you."I didn't want to go. I wanted to stay here, at least until I could figure out how to fix things with Julie. But Isadora was pulling me towards the car, and I knew I couldn't argue with her.We drove in silence, my anxiety growing with every mile. Isadora kept glancing at me, her eyes filled with fear.Finally, we reached the estate. I dreaded spending even one more day in that house.But as we pulled up to the gates, something strange happened. A black car pulled up behind us, blocking our path.A tall ma

    Aiden's POV Three days. That's all it was supposed to be. Three days of pretending to be Julian, three days of nasty tutors and cold rooms, three days of holding in all the things that made me… me. I’d counted every minute, every second, just so Julie could have a break. But those three days felt like a lifetime.I tried my best to be Julian. I sat up straight, didn't fidget, and answered all the questions the tutors threw at me, even when my brain felt like it was going to explode till my voice, so unused to talking for long periods went hoarae5. Mistress Thorne still looked at me like I was a bug she wanted to squish, but she didn't hit me again. Maybe because she didn't want to overdo it.I had to hold in a snort of disgust.I hated that it could still happen and the fear it sent through my body whenever I even thought she might pull her hands into her robes with the cane But the worst part was being away from mom and dad.

    Julian's POVEven though I was scared, switching with Aiden felt… like breathing after holding my breath for too long. I could almost taste freedom. But as Naya led me towards their little house, my hands trembled. According to what his parents knew,Aiden didn't talk (not that they know he could talk and did so on a semi regular basis now).He used his hands always, signing words I barely knew. What if I messed up? What if Naya saw through my clumsy attempts?Naya squeezed my hand, and I tried to mimic Aiden's bouncy walk, but my legs felt like jelly."You okay, sweetie?" Naya asked, her voice warm. "You're awfully quiet today. More than usual, even for you."My heart hammered. I reached for the small notebook Aiden always carried and scribbled:'Tired. Long day.' I showed it to her, trying to copy Aiden's quick, jerky movements.Naya frowned, her eyes searching mine. "Long day, huh? Did something happen at school? Did someone tease you?"I shook my head, then quickly signed the wor

    Aiden's POVLately, Julian hasn’t been the same. I noticed it first at school. He used to sit with me sometimes, even if he pretended not to care. But now, he looks down at the floor a lot, and when I try to talk to him, he just walks away. Not just at school, but even when I visit him with my astral projection. I float into his room, hoping to see that goofy grin or hear him laugh at my silly signs, but he looks through me like I’m not there. Sometimes he doesn’t even answer back.It made my chest hurt. I didn’t know why he was like this. I wanted to help, but Julian wouldn’t let me.One afternoon, I was floating around the house, drifting like a ghost, trying to find him. I peeked into the bathroom, and there he was, standing in front of the mirror—his shirt lifted just a little as he rubbed his arms.I saw it then. The scars. Long, jagged lines running down his arms, hidden beneath his sleeves. They looked red and angry, like wounds that never quite healed. My heart stopped for
