LUCIAN.

The last three months have been hell. I’ve turned over every stone, hunted every whisper, chased every useless lead trying to find Ingrid and nothing.

After that house turned out to be another dead end—just cold walls and the lingering scent of Ingrid and her child, I went back to Ezra.

He suggested I reclaim my pack for stability and power, and at the time, it sounded like a good plan, so I did.

I went back to the territory I left behind, back to the wolves I once ruled.

At first it wasn’t easy, but eventually, they recognized I am their alpha and they bowed and swore their allegiance to me.

They’ve been helping me track her ever since. Every scout, every warrior, every wolf in the region has been on the lookout. But no one has come close to finding her.

It’s like she vanished into thin air.

Her unborn child and I—we share a bond. One that formed the night I touched her and marked her.

It's faint, like a song carried by the wind, but it's there. Some days I can barely feel it

  • THE WOLF WITHIN:CLAIMED BY THE ALPHA   CHAPTER 121

    LUCIANThe door clicks softly behind me as I step out of our room, sealing away the warmth of my mate and daughter behind me.The soft scent of Ingrid still lingers on my clothes, wrapping around me like a memory I wasn’t ready to let go of.My chest aches with the weight of this choice—no, this duty.I was trying to be strong for her, reminding her who she was, coaxing that fierce spirit to the surface… but the truth was, I was terrified.Terrified of what might happen to her while I was gone. Terrified of what might happen to me—because being away from her again, so soon, felt like a punishment I hadn’t earned.She had just given birth and Emily was barely days old. I should be holding my daughter, memorizing every expression on her tiny face, learning the rhythm of her breathing as she slept against my chest.I should be kissing Ingrid's forehead every time she closes her eyes, reminding her and myself that this was real and that we had found our way back to each other after all th

  • THE WOLF WITHIN:CLAIMED BY THE ALPHA   CHAPTER 120

    INGRIDI lie there, my head resting against Lucian’s chest, listening to the steady rhythm of his heart like it’s the only thing keeping mine from falling apart.His arms are wrapped tightly around me, his chin resting on the crown of my head and he hasn’t said anything in a while, just held me in this quiet cocoon as if the world outside doesn’t exist.But it does. It’s spinning with danger and uncertainty, and the man I love is about to walk right into it again.“I don’t want you to go,” I whisper, my voice barely audible against his bare skin. “Not again.”Lucian exhales softly, his fingers brushing gently through my hair. “I know, love. But I have to. Ezra’s life depends on it.”I nod, but I don’t move. I can’t. I feel like if I let go now, everything will shatter. And somehow, He senses it.With a tender sigh, he shifts beneath me and gently lifts my head, sitting up slightly, his eyes search mine with deep, stormy, and full of worry.He cups my cheek, his thumb stroking back and

  • THE WOLF WITHIN:CLAIMED BY THE ALPHA   CHAPTER 119

    LUCIANThe days that followed were the kind and never thought I’d get to live again—slow, quiet, and wrapped in the soft warmth of peace.Ingrid and I barely left our chambers. We didn’t need to. Emily has become the center of our world, her tiny breaths, soft coos, and gentle movements mesmerizing us both.There was something healing about watching her sleep, her chest rising and falling as though the chaos outside had never touched her.I’d catch Ingrid humming lullabies by the window, sunlight bathing her and Emily in a glow so ethereal it made my heart ache.I felt like everything we had gone through- the battles, the bloodshed, and the betrayals—none of it mattered when I was with them.But I had responsibilities that I couldn’t ignore forever. The pack needed their Alpha, and Ezra needed me.With a soft kiss on Ingrid’s forehead and a promise that I’d be back before lunch, I slip out and make my way to the infirmary.The moment I step in, I am hit with a thick tension in the air

  • THE WOLF WITHIN:CLAIMED BY THE ALPHA   CHAPTER 118

    INGRID“Nooo!” I jolt upright, screaming, my heart pounding so hard it feels like it might crack my ribs from the inside.My skin is drenched in sweat, and my breaths come fast and shallow, each inhale catching in my throat.It takes a moment, one long, terrifying moment, for my mind to register that I’m not in that damp, rotting cell anymore.I’m in a bed. A real bed with soft sheets, the air smelling of pinewood and vanilla, and a warm, golden light glows gently from the corner of the room.I am safe.I whip my head to the side, and the sight almost steals my breath again.Lucian is shirtless, standing by the crib, wearing only sweatpants hanging low on his hips.Emily is nestled in his arms, and he’s softly humming while rocking her from side to side.His hair is tousled, his expression calm. He is focused on our daughter like nothing else in the world matters, and it’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.If I didn’t already love him, this would’ve been the moment that undid m

  • THE WOLF WITHIN:CLAIMED BY THE ALPHA   CHAPTER 117

    LUCIANEzra was right.As we drove aimlessly, following a bond that was once so faint I could barely feel it, the connection started to strengthen.I could feel her—her soul screaming for me from a distance, and the closer we got, the louder it became.We tore through the forest path, the tires skidding as I slammed the car to a stop outside an old, abandoned house.I bolted from the car, shifting mid-step into my wolf form for speed before shifting back as I crashed through the front door with Ezra right behind me.And then I saw her.Collapsed on the floor, struggling to get up, her arms braced against a baby cot, and my heart nearly stopped.She looked up, and our eyes met for the first time in months.Tears streamed down her cheeks, from relief, exhaustion, and pain pouring from her in waves.Her trembling hand lifted, pointing weakly toward the corridor. “He’s…” she tried to say. “Aiden is…”I didn’t want to hear it, I was already pulling her into my arms, holding her close, as if

  • THE WOLF WITHIN:CLAIMED BY THE ALPHA   CHAPTER 116

    INGRID"Kira... please," I whisper, voice trembling. "Come back to me."I’ve been calling her for hours—reaching, pleading, desperate to feel her presence in the back of my mind, but it’s quiet. And that silence is starting to kill me slowly.Aiden left a few hours ago. His parting words still echo in my head that when he returns, we’re leaving. No discussion.I shift against the cold wall, wincing as pain shoots through me, but I force myself to sit up, my eyes landing on the cot beside me.My baby girl.She’s asleep, her soft breaths rising and falling, peaceful in a way I no longer remember.“She doesn’t deserve this.” I think to myself, and my heart twists painfully.“You should be with your real father,” I murmur, leaning toward her. “With someone who would die to protect you.”The midwife rushes to my side, startled to see me awake, and she helps me lie back down, her hands gentle but rushed.She lifts the sheet, her eyes narrowing as she checks my wound, and then she freezes.“W
