LUCIAN

The 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 125

    INGRIDEmily finally sleeps, her breathing soft and even, her tiny fists curled beneath her chin.I don’t take my eyes off her. Not for a second.The fever is gone—thank the Goddess—but I don’t trust it. It’s been tormenting her for hours, and now that peace has arrived, it feels too delicate, too fragile to believe in.I sit beside the bed, my legs tucked beneath me, elbows resting on my thighs, staring as if I blink too long, it might all disappear.My heart still races, as though my body hasn’t gotten the message that the worst is over, at least for now.I want to rest, I need to, but I can't. I feel like if I let myself relax, even for a moment, her fever might return.That thought alone sends panic coursing through me, and I shift closer, brushing a lock of hair from her damp forehead, letting out a shaky breath.“She’s okay. She’s here. That’s what matters.”Moments later, I hear voices outside. Muffled and quick, like people are trying not to be heard but failing anyway.My spi

  • THE WOLF WITHIN:CLAIMED BY THE ALPHA   CHAPTER 124

    LUCIANThe ground is now slick with blood, the scent of death and fur thick in the air.The once-sacred terrain of Black Hollow Ridge has become a graveyard of bodies and betrayal.My body is battered, my mind unraveling, but I keep going.Each clash, each blow, had become muscle memory—reactions born from a lifetime of surviving and protecting.My wolf has grown quieter now, not from fear but from fatigue. He is still with me, crouched beneath the surface, ready to strike, but even he knows—this isn’t just a battle anymore. It is personal.And it had taken too much already.My right hand was dead. He fell protecting one of us and was ripped apart before I could get to him.His scream had echoed through the trees, followed by a silence that was louder than thunder.I didn’t even have time to grieve, because standing across from me, bloodied but smiling like the devil himself, is Aiden. Still not backing down.His presence makes the world colder, and not just from the things he’d done,

  • THE WOLF WITHIN:CLAIMED BY THE ALPHA   CHAPTER 123

    INGRIDI can’t sit still. My body is in the living world, but my mind… is somewhere else—somewhere cold and dark and dangerous.Lucian had been gone for hours, and with every minute that passes, a cold wave of dread climbs higher up my spine.Something is wrong. And I can feel it.I stand, for the fifth time in less than twenty minutes, and pace toward the window.The moon is full, casting long shadows on the courtyard below. A few pack members loiter near the guard post, but even from here, I can tell their energy is off.Their postures are slumped, their eyes clouded. They aren’t talking to each other. Just… existing, waiting, and dreading. Just like me.I press my hand to the glass, hoping—praying—that any second now I’ll see Lucian step out from the trees, bloodied maybe, tired even, but whole. Breathing and alive.But the trees stay still. Silent. And that silence is louder than any scream.Suddenly Emily’s cry fill the room.A sharp, piercing wail that sends my heart rocketing i

  • THE WOLF WITHIN:CLAIMED BY THE ALPHA   CHAPTER 122

    LUCIANThe wind howls between us, cutting through the trees like a blade, but it is nothing compared to the tension crackling in the air.Aiden stands just a few feet away, the smugness on his face making my blood boil.Behind him, rogues flank the tree line, claws out, waiting. My pack stands ready behind me, tense, but I raise a hand. This isn't about armies. This is personal.Aiden’s lips curl into a mockery of a smile. “You should be thanking me, you know.”I narrow my eyes. “For what? For being a snake?”“For taking care of her,” he spits with venomous satisfaction. “For protecting Ingrid and your unborn child all those months. I gave her food, shelter, and comfort. I was there for her—every day.”I don’t flinch, though a sharp pang goes through my chest.“All you did,” I respond slowly, voice like ice, “was lie to her and pretend to be something you’re not. That’s not care, Aiden. That’s cowardice.”His smirk falters for half a second before twisting into something darker.“You

  • 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
