last update Last Updated: 2025-09-04 15:21:11

Lena POV

The word daughter echoed in my mind, rattling around like a bell that wouldn’t stop ringing. Each strike reverberated through my chest, into my very marrow until I couldn’t tell if the trembling in my hands came from him or from me.

No one had ever called me that before.

I swallowed hard, forcing myself to breathe evenly through the mask, my lungs aching with each inhale. “You must be mistaken. I’m not… I’m just a Healer.”

The lie felt bitter on my tongue.

But the old man—his voice weak, his face deeply lined with age and grief—clutched harder at his chest. His eyes grew wet with unshed tears as they bore into mine with unnerving intensity. “No… no, I saw it. Those eyes… they’re hers.”

“Maya,” I said quickly, my gaze snapping to my friend. “He’s confused. Possibly delirious.”

Her lips were pressed tight, her eyes darting between us with an unease she didn’t try to hide. I wanted her to say something, anything to break the spell this moment had cast over me. But she didn’t.

  • My Alpha And Son Want Me Back   #Chapter 13 Cruel Words

    Lena POVThe silence in the car pressed down on me like a weight as I eased off the brake and continued to drive slowly through the downpour. The engine hummed beneath me, the road stretched out like an endless ribbon.Unfit.Jealous.Every cruel syllable rolled through my head, louder and louder, until I wanted to scream just to drown them out.Hadn’t it always been like this, though? From the very beginning, Damon had looked at me as though I was unworthy even before I fell pregnant.I remembered the day we first discovered our bond, the one every wolf dreams of, the mark of fate itself. I had been trembling with joy as it snapped into place after the first time we slept together, and disbelief that the Moon Goddess had paired me with someone as amazing as Damon.He was the strongest Alpha I had ever known, the one every girl in our Pack whispered about with awe and longing. I had somehow caught his eye on the night of the Lunar festival. He’d come to me, taking me in his arms to da

  • My Alpha And Son Want Me Back   #Chapter 12 Poisoned Words

    Lena POV“Stop being jealous.”Damon’s voice roared through the receiver, so sharp and loud that I jerked the phone away from my ear as if his fury could burn straight through the line. His anger was palpable, alive, like a storm slamming into me from miles away. “At a time like this, when our son is ill, you want to play petty games and accuse me of forcing him to call Celeste what he wants? You’ve lost your mind, Lena. Grow up.”The words ripped through me like claws.“No!” I screamed.“Yes,” he hissed back, venom dripping from every syllable. “You’re being a child.”The accusation knocked the wind from me, though I clutched the phone tighter, as though my grip alone could keep me tethered to some shred of dignity still left in me.My lips trembled when I pressed them together, swallowing hard against the sob clawing its way up my throat. If I let it loose, it would sound like defeat. And I knew, I knew, that if he heard it, he would only use it as proof of what he thought I was: fr

  • My Alpha And Son Want Me Back   #Chapter 11 Only A Shadow

    Lena POVI stayed frozen in place, every muscle locked tight as I prayed silently to the Moon Goddess that Damon’s attention would pass over me quickly.It was suffocating, the way his presence filled the room. He didn’t need to growl or raise his voice like an Alpha. Just being there was enough to trigger my submissive instincts.His dominance rolled through the air like a storm front, making the walls feel smaller around me, closing in slowly until I felt like gasping behind my mask.I kept my head bowed, lowering it further until the curtain of my hair spilled forward, hiding as much of me as possible. My fingers clung to the edge of Ronan’s cot like an anchor, but I soon forced myself to move and slide the pulse monitor over the old Alpha’s trembling finger.Despite trying to look busy, I could still feel Damon’s eyes watching me.That sharp, assessing weight he turned on his subordinates when he suspected something was amiss. It crawled across my skin like claws dragging down my

  • My Alpha And Son Want Me Back   #Chapter 9: What She Carries

    Lena POVI stood frozen at the side of the cot, staring at the sick, young wolf in disbelief.His chest heaved, each breath short and shallow, but my eyes weren’t on his expression or the rise and fall of his ribs.It was what writhed beneath. It coiled and twisted under his skin, curling around his lungs like dark tendrils of smoke. The thing pulsed in rhythm with his inhales, expanding and shrinking, moving as though alive.Like a living sickness.It slithered across his chest, shadowy and grotesque, yet no one else reacted. Not the boy, not Maya, not the nurses hovering anxiously nearby.Only me.“Maya… I’m serious.” My voice was barely a whisper.Her sharp eyes flicked to mine, annoyance etched across her face from exhaustion. “Lena, don’t joke about this.”“I’m not joking. I swear. It’s right there.” I raised a shaking hand and pointed at the boy’s chest. “It’s moving inside him like… like a snake. It’s coiled around his chest.”Maya’s brows knit together. She straightened slowly

  • My Alpha And Son Want Me Back   #Chapter 8: Letter Left Behind

    Damon POVCeleste leaned back in my chair, her hands folded neatly in her lap, her golden hair gleaming like spun sunlight under the lamplight.“Just so you know, my father is… difficult to get along with. He has his moods. His wolf is unstable. Some even say deranged. It’s why he keeps close to my mother. She grounds him. Without her, he’d be impossible.” Her voice carried that careful mixture of pride and apprehension she always used when talking about him.I listened, my expression carefully schooled. She wasn’t telling me anything I hadn’t already heard. Rumors of the Royal Alpha’s volatility had spread across packs for years. He was powerful, unpredictable, dangerous in ways most Alphas could only dream of.But now he was coming here, and I had to win him over for the sake of the alliance.For the sake of the Pack.Celeste’s lips curved faintly. “To secure his favor, you’ll have to tread carefully. Show him strength, but not arrogance. Respect, but not submission. And above all,
