Ciara’s POV

I stood naked in front of the full-length mirror in my old bedroom, the dim lamp casting long shadows across the welts on my skin.

My fingers dipped into the jar of ointment my mother had shoved at me before locking the door, a thick, cool cream that smelled faintly of herbs and regret. I rubbed it slowly over the red handprints on my cheeks, the sting flaring fresh with every touch.

It was late. Past midnight. The house was silent except for the occasional creak of old wood settl

  • Pregnant For My Father-in-Law   Chapter 216: Wrong Sister to Provoke

    Inara’s POVWalking through Shadowfen was easily one of the best decisions I had made since waking up in this realm.The pack grounds stretched far beyond the main house, a strange mixture of ancient stone paths, towering black trees, training fields, guarded buildings and open spaces where wolves moved around like they owned the earth beneath their feet. Technically, they probably did. I passed groups of warriors, servants, patrol guards and younger wolves carrying weapons or supplies, and my eyes naturally followed more than a few of the men because I was injured, not blind.Goddess, werewolf men were unfair.They were all tall, broad, irritatingly fit and built like somebody had taken ordinary human men, corrected the disappointing parts and added supernatural arrogance for decoration. Some had long hair, some wore theirs cut short, some had scars, others had the kind of smooth, dangerous faces that probably made sensible women forget their mothers’ advice. They were good-looking,

  • Pregnant For My Father-in-Law   Chapter 215: On One Condition

    Ciara’s pov.The room became still and Asher’s smile faded.Dax held his gaze, and though his voice stayed controlled, I could hear the effort beneath it. “You saw things I refused to see. You warned me more than once, and I dismissed you. I told myself you were acting out of hatred, instability and old resentment. I used your trauma as a reason not to trust your judgment.”Asher’s face changed in a way I had never seen before but it only lasted for half a second before he covered it.Dax continued, quieter now. “I protected Jasper when I should have listened. I criticized you when you were trying to protect the pack. For that, I apologize.”Silence sat heavily around the table.Ayla looked away and Valerio’s expression darkened with something like old sorrow.Asher stared at Dax, and for once, he seemed genuinely shocked. His fingers loosened around mine, and I felt the small shift in him, the way his body went unnaturally still. Then, as if stillness was too dangerous for him, he s

  • Pregnant For My Father-in-Law   Chapter 214: Meeting

    Ciara’s POVThe meeting was awkward.There was really no gentler way to describe it. The room was wide, elegant and far too quiet, with tall windows showing the last bruised colors of sunset beyond Shadowfen’s dark hills, but somehow the silence inside felt heavier than the one outside. Ayla was already seated when Dax and I arrived, dressed in pale gray like she had been carved from winter stone, her posture straight, expression unreadable and her eyes sharp enough to make me remember very clearly that this was the same woman who had once looked at me like killing me was a reasonable solution to an inconvenience. Valerio was there too, sitting on the other side with that grave calm of his, but after what happened in the hallway, even looking at him made something uncomfortable move under my skin.Dax sat beside me, but his attention was not truly on the meeting table but on Valerio.He did not glare openly, not exactly, but there was a hard watchfulness in him that made the air fee

  • Pregnant For My Father-in-Law   Chapter 213: Currents and Claims

    Ciara’s POVDax stepped out of the bathroom looking dangerously hot, and I immediately snapped my eyes away like the sight of him might actually burn me but I was still peeking Water still clung to his skin in glistening trails, his dark hair damp and messy from the shower, falling across his forehead in that careless way that somehow made him look even more lethal. The towel was slung low on his hips, barely hanging on, and every hard line of his chest, abs, and those powerful shoulders was on full display. It was ridiculous how one man could possess so many attractive features that seemed to magnetize anyone within a ten-mile radius.I didn’t blame Inara’s reaction from a few hours ago one bit. When she’d shown up at the door earlier and nearly had a meltdown over his tight shorts, I’d understood completely. Given her shameless, chaotic nature, that kind of reaction was practically guaranteed. I’d laughed so hard after she left that Dax had to pat my back to keep me from choking

  • Pregnant For My Father-in-Law   Chapter 212:The Sight at the Door

    Inara’s POVBy the time I finished breakfast, I had already argued with two healers, insulted one cup of medicine and threatened to start walking around naked if everyone in Shadowfen continued treating me like a dying widow instead of a woman with one perfectly manageable dagger wound. The older healer only gave me that patient look healers always gave difficult patients, checked the bandage on my arm again and assured me for the sixth time that the poison had been fully neutralized, the flesh was healing properly and I only needed rest. I nodded like a good girl, told him I had been saying that since yesterday and then stood up before he could start another lecture about not straining my body. Honestly, if I heard one more person tell me to rest, I was going to rest my fist against their mouth.Ella stood near the side table, watching me with that calm, polite judgment of hers while folding the cloth that had covered my food tray. “Lady Inara, the healer said you should not move

  • Pregnant For My Father-in-Law   Chapter 211:Midnight Thief’s Reward

    Ciara’s pov.Frustration and overwhelming need built until tears spilled down my cheeks. I was crying now not from pain, but from how desperately I needed more, how much I loved him, how the slow build was driving me insane. I raised my hips, trying to thrust up and take more of him, but he held me gently in place with the hand on my belly.“Dax, please,” I sobbed, voice breaking. “I need all of you. You’re not giving me everything. You’re holding back your cock and it’s not fair. I want to feel you lose control. I want it rough and deep and..”He saw the tears and something in his expression cracked. He kissed them away tenderly, still moving inside me with those same slow, deep thrusts.“Shh, baby. I’ve got you. I see you. I’m sorry I made you wait so long.” His voice was thick with emotion. “You want faster? I’ll give it to you. But I’m still going to be careful. Still going to love you while I do it.”He increased his pace, it was not wild and rough yet, but faster, deeper, the
