Ryker’s POV

She was nothing but a bag of trouble.

And strangely, the delicious, unusually maddening kind, you have no control over how you wander in the land of imagination. The worst is that it has no timing, creeping into forbidden hours when one is supposed to be focused and tending to affairs concerning the empire, legacy, and power.

But no, I was foolishly buried in thoughts of her.

Or, more precisely, replace important files with hers.

Lucy Castellano.

I reread her name, repeatedly, my fingers drumming continuously against my silver-lined desk, not that I hadn't found out the truth, but because I was doing everything possible to find an escape from her. A reason for her to hate me, for us to hate each other.

Castellano wasn’t just a name you hear regularly; it was more than a bloodline. It was a name that perfectly describes a ghost of the underworld—a dead, long-gone dynasty with more than enough buried gold to buy exactly half of Europe.

And she…my Lucy....

She has their nam

  • Pregnant For The Ruthless Alpha But Secretly An Heiress    Chapter 36: The Moon Marking Ritual

    Lucy’s POVI stood with my pregnancy bump prostrating under the blood moon, completely barefoot and shaking. The night air did its own by romancing and kissing my skin, cutting through it and sharp as blades, but that didn't make me change my mind.Well, not anymore, after everything I've passed through.“Are you really sure you want this for yourself?" Elder Nyra asked, and in her silver eyes, I could see concern from how she searched mine. “I wish to bring it to your notice that there's no going back, child.”“I was cruelly thrown off a cliff and allowed to die,” I said quietly, “but in all, I still survived. Nothing can be compared to the sin of betrayal, especially from those you once dined with. Let the moon not hesitate to do whatever it must.”The circle of elders who had tagged along stood around me. They were heavily cloaked in shadows, and as I listened to them, I could not grab even a word of what they were murmuring, as it was an ancient chant. The chants kept vibrating th

  • Pregnant For The Ruthless Alpha But Secretly An Heiress    Chapter 35: The Broken Alpha

    Ryker’s POVI stood like a watchdog outside her door for what I could call an eternity. My palms were all messy with sweat. How possible is it that me, Alpha Ryker, of all people is sweating profusely just the way a freaking pup would have done on his first shift.She came back alive, breathing, glowing beyond recognition, and even powerful.To worsen it, with all these qualities, she's still not mine.After standing like someone who came to borrow, I knocked once and tried the second one. That was when the door opened, but in slow motion, slower than my heartbeat.“Come right in,” that was her voice. She seemed very calm, like she wasn't the one who pulled the stunt outside, but she was still distant and dangerous.The moment I stepped in and my gaze landed on her, my heart skipped a beat. It wasn't because I was seeing a stranger other than the one I had come to see. No, it was because she was unreachable, looking stronger, fiercer and worst of all, colder. “You look exactly like h

  • Pregnant For The Ruthless Alpha But Secretly An Heiress    Chapter 34: The Second Return

    Lucy’s POVThe double iron doors guarding the Castellano estate courtroom suddenly slammed violently open.Everyone present there turned their heads Gasps echoed throughout the courtroom.And there I stood tall, not in the form of a ghost, and never to be remembered like a memory, not even to be considered a hallucination, I was alive, totally real, and despite my pregnancy, I stood tall in heels, on well tailored black-on-black perfectly hugging my curves, and my baby bump showcased proudly.“Is that not...?”“She was confirmed dead and ...”“Impossible, this can't be!”Ryker sprang to his feet immediately, his eyes wide in shock. His facial expression was totally pale, and his lips parted, but no word came out, none agreed to be formed. He was speechless, not believing he was seeing me. “Lucy…” he whispered not even himself could hear it, but I saw his lips move.I didn’t give him the attention he wanted. Well, not yet.I walked straight to the middle of the room like one in char

  • Pregnant For The Ruthless Alpha But Secretly An Heiress    Chapter 33: Resurrected

    Lucy’s POVDarkness filled everything.Extremely cold, and the pain in my body was unbearable.It was giving me the sensation of someone drowning and burning simultaneously.My lungs were pleading and screaming for a little bit of air as the river mercilessly dragged me under with them. I fought hard, did everything to free myself, my legs were very weak, my arms numb feeling like I didn't own them. The last thing I could vividly recall from the incident was Vick’s wicked hands cruelly shoving me. The rush of air that followed immediately, or was it the deafening silence created before the crash eventually happened?Then, next, I battled with the cold bite of water.And right now…And right now, I coughed violently, still choking dangerously as water spewed from my mouth. My throat at this point felt raw. Every breath I managed to take was a battle.“She’s finally breathing!” A voice screamed in excitement nearby. “Quick, carry her out immediately, see her stomach, she’s even pregnant

  • Pregnant For The Ruthless Alpha But Secretly An Heiress    Chapter 32: Ryker’s Rage

    Ryker’s POV“Did I just hear Lucy?”The hallway was way too quiet to my liking.I stood still, unwilling to move an inch, my ears straining. My heart was pounding uncontrollably, my wolf growling, not letting me rest even for a second. There were no approaching footsteps.I didn't feel a heartbeat either.There was no trace of a faint scent suggesting she might be somehow close by; none of that happened. All I could feel was fear, her fear as she cried for help. There was smoke from fire and wildfire close by. I turned like I just received a sharp cut on my back, “Lucy! Where exactly are you this minute?!”Still, I didn't receive anything, not even an assurance that she's okay.My feet carried me, and I moved along unwillingly. They took me through the spacious corridor until we reached the back exit. The door was not locked,; it was ajar.Outside, I could see strange marks on the gravel. There were more than one footprint; there were three, one belonging to Lucy and the other two

  • Pregnant For The Ruthless Alpha But Secretly An Heiress    Chapter 31: The Cliff Trap

    “Where exactly are we going? I can still remember vividly, This isn’t the route to the healer’s wing!” I screamed with all my energy, yanking at the seatbelt to be free.The vehicle suddenly jerked forward, but that was over a pothole. Vick’s knuckles had another purpose; they stayed steady, not wavering on the wheel. I stared out through the car window. The forest we were approaching was becoming denser, and the road was totally unfamiliar, with no sign of a pack patrol. My stomach churned noisily, somehow twisting tighter than the seatbelt I was using.Vick didn’t at least flinch as I ranted at the passenger's seat.His cold, unmistakable, annoying smirk was enough to tell me things would never be the same again.“I demand to know the destination you are taking me to immediately!” I snapped again, my heart racing uncontrollably and skipping beats.A practised calmness followed; it was too perfect to be a coincidence.“You annoyingly ask way too many questions, disturbing my peace fo
