Alex’s POV

I arrived at the restaurant and scanned the room, searching for the girl in the picture my father had sent me. My eyes landed on her almost instantly.

She was seated near the window, the golden glow of the evening light brushing against her face. Up close, she was even more striking, soft curls framing her face, eyes sharp yet warm. If I were into girls, she would’ve been my type. But I wasn’t. Unfortunately or maybe fortunately I was gay.

Still, I walked over to her table.

“Hi, I’m Alex,” I said, offering a polite smile.

She smiled back and gestured to the empty chair across from her. I slid into the seat.

“I’m Lisa,” she said smoothly, her voice calm but carrying a kind of confidence that instantly put me on guard. “Would you like to order something to eat?”

“No, I’m fine,” I replied. “Just a glass of red wine will do.”

She signaled to the waiter without missing a beat. He came over quickly, and Lisa placed the order. Within moments, a glass of deep red wine was set in fr

  • Pregnant For My Husband’s Father    Chapter 166

    Clara’s POV Lara wasn’t reacting the way she should have.She wasn’t angry at Kate.She was angry at Amelia.That realization hit me like a slap.It terrified me.Before I could say anything else, Amelia turned and walked away.“Amelia,” I called, panic creeping into my voice.She didn’t answer.I followed her down the hallway, my steps quick, my heart heavy. “Stop,” I said. “Please.”She suddenly turned around, her eyes blazing. “Stop following me.”“I know you’re angry,” I said softly, trying to calm her. “But your feet are bruised. You’re bleeding. Let me take you to the hospital. Please.”She laughed bitterly.She turned fully to face me, tears filling her eyes. “Leave me alone,” she said. “Haven’t you ruined my life enough?”The words cut deep.“I’m trying to protect you,” I whispered.“Protect me?” she repeated, scoffing. Tears spilled down her cheeks now. “Were you protecting me when you married the man I love? The man I’m carrying a child for? Were you protecting me when you

    Clara’s POV “Amelia,” I said quickly, my voice shaking despite my effort to stay calm.Lara’s voice echoed darkly in my head.“I told you,” she said. “She’s lost her mind. Anything can happen.”“Amelia.”I called her name again, louder this time, my voice echoing through the hall. My heart was beating so fast it felt like it wanted to break out of my chest. She didn’t even look at me. She stood there, calm, smiling softly like this was just another normal day.“I’m pregnant,” Amelia said clearly, her voice carrying through the room. “I went to the hospital a few days ago, and the doctor confirmed it. It’s a boy.”The room went completely silent.It was the kind of silence that presses against your ears, the kind that makes your skin crawl. Everyone froze. No one breathed. No one moved.I felt like the ground had disappeared under my feet.Pregnant?My mind couldn’t process it fast enough. My thoughts crashed into each other, fear and anger twisting together so tightly I could barely

    Clara’s POVShe walked over to him and slipped her hand into his.“Hey, my love,” she said sweetly. “Sorry I’ve been MIA. I was just taking care of something.”She smiled up at him.That same empty smile.Every eye in the hall turned to her.Whispers started immediately.Shock.Confusion.Fear.She was acting wrong, and everyone could feel it.My gaze dropped without me meaning to.Her feet.She was barefoot.Bruised.Dirty.Her toes were scraped, the skin red and swollen like she had been walking for a long time, maybe running, without shoes.My heart clenched.“Amelia,” I said, forcing calm into my voice as I stepped closer. “Your feet are bruised. Let me call the pack doctor. We need to clean them so they don’t get infected.”She stepped back instantly.“I’m fine,” she said flatly.The warmth vanished from her tone.She turned away from me like I wasn’t even there.Then she clapped her hands once.“Why is the table empty?” she asked casually. “I’m hungry. Bring some food.”She said

  • Pregnant For My Husband’s Father    Chapter 163

    Clara’s POVI was just about to leave the hall.My chest was tight, my head pounding, my patience hanging by a thin thread. I had said what I needed to say. I had made my threat clear. All I wanted now was air, space to think, space to breathe, space to plan my next move.Then I heard it.A soft sound.Light.A giggle.I froze mid-step.That sound didn’t belong here. Not in this tense, fearful palace where everyone was walking on eggshells because of me. Slowly, my head turned toward the sound.And then I saw her.Amelia.She was standing near the entrance, her head tilted slightly, a strange smile on her lips as she laughed quietly to herself.For one heartbeat, my brain refused to process it.For the next, my entire world snapped back into place.“Amelia,” I breathed.I didn’t think. I didn’t plan. I just ran.I crossed the distance between us in seconds and pulled her into my arms, hugging her tightly, like if I let go she would disappear again. I buried my face in her hair, inhali

  • Pregnant For My Husband’s Father    Chapter 162

    Author’s POV“I am the queen,” she said, her voice loud and clear. “And you will speak to me with respect.”Murmurs rippled through the hall.Elena crossed her arms. “You don’t get to act like a dictator just because you’re upset.”Clara took another step forward.“Amelia has been missing for two days,” she said. “No one leaves this palace. No one eats. No one breathes freely, until I know where she is.”Gasps echoed.Kate stared at her. “You think we have her?”“I think this palace is full of liars,” Clara replied. “And until proven otherwise, everyone is a suspect.”Elena laughed nervously. “We haven’t seen her since the wedding.”“And why should we follow your orders?” Kate snapped. “I am still the queen.”The temperature in the hall seemed to drop.Clara smiled.But there was no warmth in it.“No,” she said softly. “You’re not.”She leaned in, her voice low and lethal.“You’re a dead old woman who refuses to stay dead.”The crowd froze.Kate’s face turned pale.Elena tried to rega

  • Pregnant For My Husband’s Father    Chapter 161

    Author’s POVTwo days.That was how long Amelia had been missing.Two days without a message.Two days without a trace.Two days of silence so loud it felt like it was screaming inside Clara’s head.Clara stood by the tall window of her chambers, staring down at the palace grounds below. Guards moved back and forth. Servants whispered in corners. Everything looked normal on the outside.But nothing was normal.Her fingers tightened around the edge of the window frame. Her jaw was clenched so hard it ached.She had survived wars.She had faced assassins.She had forced a kingdom to bend to her will.But this?This fear was different.This fear had a name.Amelia.Clara turned away from the window and paced the room like a caged predator. Her boots hit the marble floor with sharp, angry sounds. Every step carried frustration, guilt, and dread.She should have protected her sister.She should have noticed sooner.She should never have let her out of her sight.Her wolf, Lara, was restles
