FAZER LOGIN“I’m confused too… let’s just hope that isn’t Gab’s hand,” Ryder said tightly, though even his voice lacked confidence.I shook my head immediately as tears blurred my vision.“No…” I whispered brokenly. “That hand looked like Gab’s.”The image would not leave my head.“Doris,” Mom said softly as she quickly held my shoulders to steady me. “You don’t need this stress right now because of your condition. Calm down first.”“How can I calm down?” I cried shakily. “Gab is still missing!”“I know,” she whispered sadly. “But we still don’t know if that belongs to him.”The entire living room had fallen into horrible silence.“First, we need stronger guards to protect Luna,” Alpha Stone said firmly. “Right now, her life is at risk, especially with her being pregnant.”Everyone in the room nodded seriously. The mood had completely changed. No one was smiling anymore.“Yes, that’s very important,” Ryder agreed immediately.He turned to Kael. “Kael, you and the other warrior who helped catch No
Then she turned to me.“And you are carrying the future of this pack.”The doctor handed us the test results with a warm smile still resting on her face.My eyes slowly moved over the paper in my shaky hands.Positive.I froze completely.For a second, I could not even breathe properly.I was pregnant.My heart beat wildly inside my chest as I slowly lifted my eyes to Ryder.He was already staring at me like he had just been handed the entire world.“Oh my God,” Ryder breathed out softly, his eyes shining with happiness. “Baby… this is good news.”Before I could even react, he cupped my face and started kissing me everywhere—my forehead, my cheeks, my lips.I burst into laughter. “Ryder!”“I’m going to be a father,” he said excitedly between kisses. “Do you understand that? A father!”The doctor laughed quietly at his reaction while my face burned with embarrassment.Then suddenly, Ryder slipped one arm under my knees and carried me into his arms.“Ryder!” I squealed, quickly wrapping
Behold, it was Nova—the same fool who helped poison me.We had been searching for her for a while. After Drake’s death, she disappeared with her children, hiding like a ghost.Now she was here.The warriors held her hands firmly as she struggled weakly in their grip. Blood ran down her face, evidence she had tried to fight back, but she had lost.“Did you think you could run forever after what you did?” Alpha Stone said angrily.Nova collapsed to her knees, shaking violently as tears streamed down her face.“Please… please, Alpha,” she cried brokenly. “I swear I never wanted to hurt your Luna. Clara manipulated me.”We stayed quiet and stared at her with disgust and disappointment.“I made a mistake,” Nova sobbed, clutching Alpha Stone’s feet desperately. “Please give me another chance. I’ll do anything. I’ll prove my loyalty again.”“Loyalty?” Ryders asked angrily.Nova froze.Ryder stepped forward slowly, fury burning in his eyes.“You tried to help someone murder my mate,” he said
Clara.“Clara… how dare you?” Ryder shouted, his voice shaking with rage.A loud laugh came from the other side of the call.Ryder’s jaw tightened dangerously, every muscle in his body rigid as he gripped the phone harder.“Oh, sweetheart, stop shouting,” Clara purred through the speaker, her voice dripping with amusement. “You might give yourself a panic attack.”Her voice sounded calm, almost playful, which somehow made it even worse.“You’re sick,” Ryder growled, gripping the phone so tightly his knuckles turned white. “Where is Gab?”“Oh yes,” Clara whispered almost lovingly, “I’m very sick… sick in love with you.”I felt my stomach twist violently.“And Gab?” she continued casually. “He’s here with me. Sleeping so peacefully.”Her tone darkened into something terrifying. “But don’t worry,” she added with a twisted laugh. “I can’t wait to use him properly.”Ryder’s eyes darkened with murderous rage. “If you touch him I will kill you.”“Oh my God, I’m so scared,” Clara teased moc
“What do you mean Gab is missing?” I shouted, my voice trembling as panic surged through me. “Gab was fine last night! He was with you and Henry, so how the hell is he missing?”“Yes, Gab was with us, but—” Julius started, his face pale and tense.“But what?” Ryder snapped before Julius could finish. “You were supposed to protect him!” His fist slammed violently into the wall. The wall dented instantly beneath the force, but Ryder didn’t even flinch. His chest heaved with rage, his eyes dark and wild as he glared at Julius.“How do you lose someone right under your watch?” Ryder growled through clenched teeth.“I’m sorry, Alpha… this is my fault,” Julius said hoarsely as he dropped to his knees. Kael immediately knelt beside him, both of them lowering their heads in shame.“Everything happened too fast,” Julius continued. “I was taking Henry and Gab inside when I heard a noise nearby. I left them for just a second to check it out, and when I got there the cell was open and Clara was
I slowly opened my eyes.For a moment, I just stayed there, enjoying the warmth wrapped around me.Ryder’s arms were tightly around my waist, his chest pressed against my back while his slow breathing brushed against my neck. He was still asleep and holding me.A small smile appeared on my lips.Carefully, I tried to move away from him, but the second I shifted even an inch, his grip tightened instantly.“Don’t leave,” Ryder mumbled sleepily against my ear. “Let’s sleep a little more, baby girl.”His deep morning voice sent heat rushing through my body immediately, dragging our sweet memories of last night right back into my head.I bit my lip softly.“Ryder, we seriously need to get up,” I said, turning my head slightly to glance at the clock beside the bed. “It’s already ten in the morning.”He groaned dramatically and buried his face deeper into my neck.“Baby girl, please,” he complained. “We finally have peace and quiet. Let me enjoy my wife.”I laughed softly.“You’re impossible
Chapter 27I stayed pressed against Ryder’s side, his warm hand still resting on my shoulderAnna wasn’t done playing her game.She stepped closer again, that sugary smile glued to her face. Her green dress swished as she moved, and she reached out to me. “Come on, Doris darling,
My throat closed up so tight I could barely get the words out.“That’s Nana,” I said. My voice sounded rough and far away.Doris tilted her head. Her eyes were soft and patient. She didn’t push, she just waited.“She was my closest friend back then in high school,” I said. “We met in
~ Doris ~After what Ryder did last night, leaving me aching and untouched, sex-starved for some “silly” pack-politics reason. I woke up furious.I remember the scream from earlier, how it tore out of me like something trapped for years finally breaking free. The nightmare came again
But I still wasn’t inside her yet.I flipped her onto her stomach gently, hands on her hips, lifting her ass up high so she was open and ready for me. Her knees sank into the mattress, back arched, face pressed into the pillow. She looked so perfect like that—shaking, needy, slick s
