Ciara’s POV

I stared at the people on the floor and staggered backward, my mind still trying to process the sight of powerful men kneeling like criminals awaiting execution. My heel caught on the edge of the rug and I started to tip...

Strong arms slid around my shoulders from behind, steadying me instantly. That familiar scent...pine, smoke, leather, and something darker and warmer wrapped around me.

“Careful, little moon,” Dax murmured against my ear, voice low and rough. “Don’t hurt yoursel

  • Pregnant For My Father-in-Law   Chapter 280: I Am Not Your Second Chance

    Ciara’s POVFor one stupid second, my heart reacted before my brain did.The bouquet was enormous, filled almost entirely with my favourite flowers, arranged so carefully that whoever had chosen them clearly knew exactly what I liked. The person holding them was completely hidden behind the ridiculous amount of petals, and somewhere deep inside me, something old and foolish almost whispered Dax’s name.Then the flowers lowered.Jasper.The tiny hope died so quickly that I was almost embarrassed it had existed at all.He stood outside the doorway looking far better than he had the last time I saw him, although faint bruising still remained along one side of his face. Apparently, whatever beating Asher gave him had not killed him. Pity. His expression softened when our eyes met, and he lifted the flowers slightly like they were supposed to explain why he was standing there.“Hi.”I stared at him.That was it.No racing heart, confusion or strange pull towards the man I once believed I

  • Pregnant For My Father-in-Law   Chapter 279: Enough Hurting Myself

    Ciara’s POVI woke with a dull ache sitting behind my eyes and the uncomfortable heaviness that came from sleeping badly even after finally getting a few hours of rest. For a moment, I remained still beneath the blanket, staring at the pale morning light slipping through the curtains while my head slowly caught up with the fact that I was awake.Then the headache throbbed again.I pressed my fingers against my temple and groaned softly.Ella immediately looked up from where she had been arranging something near the small table. “Madam? Are you alright?”“My head hurts.”Concern crossed her face at once. She abandoned whatever she was doing and came towards me, touching the back of her hand gently against my forehead before apparently deciding I was not dying. “You need your tonic. The doctor said you should take it when you wake, especially after you didn’t eat much yesterday. Wait here..”I gave her a tired smile. “I’m not going anywhere.”“I’ll be quick.”She disappeared through the

  • Pregnant For My Father-in-Law   Chapter 278: You Should Have Fought Back

    Asher’s POVI did not wait for Dax to recover from the uppercut.The moment his body hit the floor, I was on him.I crossed the distance before he could even push himself upright, grabbed the front of his shirt and dragged him halfway off the ground before driving my fist straight into his face. The impact snapped his head sideways, but the image in my mind was not Dax beneath me. It was Ciara asleep with swollen eyes, one hand curled around her stomach while Ella quietly told me she had spent almost five days crying, barely eating and wondering why the man who claimed to love her refused to answer her calls.Another punch landed.“How fucking dare you?”Dax’s head turned with the blow, blood beginning to gather at the corner of his mouth, but he did not stop me. He did not even raise his hands.That should have made me pause.It did not.I was too angry to care.I dragged him closer by his shirt and hit him again, harder this time. “You disappear for five fucking days and leave her

  • Pregnant For My Father-in-Law   Chapter 277: No Easy Death

    Asher’s POVThe blood trail was faint now, almost invisible unless I focused on it, but I could still feel the old Blackthorne pull tugging beneath my skin, leading me deeper through the estate. Every few steps, the mark in my palm throbbed as though reminding me exactly why I had used a ritual Dax hated in the first place.That idiot had done this to himself.I walked faster.My anger had stopped being loud somewhere along the way. It had settled into something much colder and much more dangerous, the kind of fury that made everything around me look painfully clear. I could hear servants moving several rooms away, guards speaking in low voices at the far end of the estate, the faint rhythm of machines beneath the floors. None of it mattered. All I could see in my head was Ciara asleep with swollen eyes while Ella quietly explained that she had spent days wondering why the man who claimed to love her would not even answer a damn call.Five days.I clenched my fists.“Fucking idiot.”

  • Pregnant For My Father-in-Law   Chapter 276: Found You, Bastard

    Asher’s POVFor several seconds after Inara disappeared around the corner, I remained exactly where I was, staring at the empty corridor like the answers might somehow come walking back if I waited long enough.They did not.All I had was the memory of that impossible strength, the brief orange flare in her eyes and the things she had said about Ciara. Out of everything, that last part bothered me most. The anger made sense now, but the pain behind it did not. Inara had looked like someone had taken a knife to her chest and left her standing. She had threatened to kill Dax with such conviction that even I had stopped finding the situation funny, and considering how much I enjoyed imagining my brother getting punched in the face, that was saying something.My wolf shifted restlessly inside me. "Go check on little venom."I was already moving before he finished.Whatever the hell was happening with Inara could wait. Orange eyes or not, she had been walking, breathing and threatening m

  • Pregnant For My Father-in-Law   Chapter 275: Something in Her Eyes

    Asher’s POVI had barely stepped back into the estate when I saw Inara storming down the corridor like she was on her way to murder someone, and for the first time since meeting her, I actually slowed down.Daggermouth was always angry about something. That was basically her natural state. She could insult a servant, threaten a guard, argue with Lance, curse me out and then somehow end the conversation asking for food like none of it had happened. I was used to that version of her. What I was not used to was the cold pressure rolling off her now, so heavy and sharp that even the wolf inside me lifted his head in immediate interest.Something was wrong.I had been gone for three days because Dax sent me into the witch realm to retrieve an old item he apparently needed urgently. The trip had been irritating enough to make me consider setting half the place on fire, but I had finally returned expecting the usual Blackthorne mess. Instead, the first thing I found was Inara looking like s
