RECLAIMED BY THE ALPHA: THE ALPHA’S HIDDEN HEIR Chapter Eight: Ground Rules
Moving to Nick's estate wasn't possible according to the doctors, and honestly, I breathed easier knowing I would never stumble into Jessica in the home she once lived in. The familiarity of our building, our routines, Dr. Chen two blocks away — it was the right call medically. I told myself that. I believed it.But that didn't last long as I saw a big truck outside my window.I stand at the glass with my coffee going cold in my hand and watch them unload his life onto my street.My street. My building. My neighborhood, that I chose, that I carved myself into over six years of early mornings and harder nights and never once looking back at Silver Moon territory.And there is Nicholas Blackwood on the sidewalk below me in dark jeans and a jacket, hands in his pockets, directing movers with the quiet authority of a man who has never once had to raise his voice to be obeyed.He doesn't look up.I step back from the window anyway.Mason gets out of the car last. He stands on the sidewalk
RECLAIMED BY THE ALPHA: THE ALPHA’S HIDDEN HEIR Chapter 7: Saving Mia
“She’s dying.”Dr. Harrison says it flat. No sugarcoating. Just those two words that make my world stop.I’m at the observation window watching Mia seize on that table and I can’t… I can’t breathe right. My chest hurts. Everything hurts.“Alexander’s bond isn’t working,” Dr. Harrison continues. “We need her biological father now.”Alexander is next to me with his wrist all bandaged up. His bond failed. He tried so hard and it failed anyway.“I called Nick,” he says quietly. “He’s on his way.”“He won’t get here in time.” My voice sounds weird. Too high. “Look at her, she’s—”The monitor flatlines.That sound. That horrible flat sound.I’m screaming before I realize I’m screaming. Pounding on the glass with both fists. “MIA! NO, BABY, NO!”If Mia dies, I would never forgive myself.Someone’s doing CPR. Pushing on her chest. Her little chest. She’s so small under their hands.My vision goes blurry and I realize I’m crying. Ugly crying. Can’t-catch-my-breath crying.Then something in my
RECLAIMED BY THE ALPHA: THE ALPHA’S HIDDEN HEIR Chapter Six: The Bond
They bring Mia into the ceremonial room at dawn. She’s still groggy from the medications, but when she sees me, she reaches out and I take her hand. “Mama? I’m scared.” “I know, baby. But Mr. Alexander is going to make you better. I promise.” Alexander kneels beside the gurney, meeting Mia at eye level. “Hey there, brave girl. You ready?” She nods, even though her bottom lip trembles. The pack elder begins chanting in the old language. Alexander’s eyes flash gold as his Alpha rises to the surface. He bites his own wrist, I have to look away for a second, and when I look back, blood is welling from the wound. “Open your mouth, sweetheart,” he says gently. Mia obeys. Alexander presses his wrist to her lips. “Drink.” There’s Alpha power in the command and Mia’s throat moves as she swallows. Once. Twice. Three times. Then the glow starts. A strong warmth grows in the room, faint at first, then growing stronger. It wraps around Mia like a warm blanket and I can see
RECLAIMED BY THE ALPHA: THE ALPHA’S HIDDEN HEIR Chapter Five: The Choice
Nick and I stare at each other across the hallway. “We’ll use Alexander’s bond,” I say before Nick can speak. Dr. Harrison’s expression shifts to concern. “Ms. Winters, I need to be very clear about the risks—” “I understand the risks. Alexander will bond with her.” “Emily—” Nick starts. “No.” I cut him off. “This is my decision. She’s my daughter and I’m choosing what’s best for her.” “What’s best for her is the bond with the highest success rate,” Nick’s voice is strained. “Which is mine.” “What’s best for her is stability,” I counter. “Alexander has been in our lives for a year. You just found out she exists twenty minutes ago. She doesn’t know you. She doesn’t trust you.” “She doesn’t have to trust me for the bond to work.” “But she has to live with the consequences of it.” I meet his eyes. “Daily contact for weeks, maybe months. Living under the same roof as you. Being connected to you for the rest of her life. I won’t do that to her.” “You mean you won’t do
RECLAIMED BY THE ALPHA: THE ALPHA’S HIDDEN HEIR Chapter Four: The Collision
My whole body tenses. “Stay away from her.” “How old is she?” I don’t answer. “How old, Emily?” “Six.” I watch him do the math. Six years. Six years since that Christmas morning. Six years since he destroyed me, and I left with his child growing inside me. His face goes pale. His hands clench into fists at his sides. “You were pregnant.” It’s not a question. “When you came to the pack house that morning, you were already pregnant.” “Yes.” “And you didn’t tell me.” “You called me nothing.” The rage is pouring out now, hot and uncontrollable. “You married someone else. You made it very clear you wanted nothing to do with me. So why the hell would I tell you?” “Because she’s my daughter!” His voice rises for the first time, his devastation r leaking through. “She’s MY daughter!” I step forward, matching his intensity. “I’m the one who’s been there every single day for six years. I’m the one who held her when she was sick. I’m the one who taught her to walk and r
RECLAIMED BY THE ALPHA: THE ALPHA’S HIDDEN HEIR Chapter Three: Six years Later
The doctor's offices smells like antiseptic and false hope. I'm sitting in one of those uncomfortable plastic chairs, holding Mia's hand while Dr. Chen reviews her test results. Again. Like looking at them one more time will change what they say. Mia is six years old. She has my dark curls and Nick's grey eyes. She's beautiful and smart and funny and she's dying. She’s all that has held me together since that day six years ago, my whole life and the only reason I keep going. And I may lose her to a condition I didn’t even understand. I blinked back the tears formed from my fear of losing my life line. "Ms. Winters," Dr. Chen says gently. She's a good doctor, Kind and smart. I've been bringing Mia to her since she was born and since this condition started. "I know this is difficult to hear, but we're running out of time." "How long?" My voice doesn't shake. I've gotten good at not shaking, at hiding my emotions. "Without intervention? Two months. Maybe three." M
