THE WOLF WITHIN:CLAIMED BY THE ALPHA CHAPTER 134
LUCIAN.The walk back to the territory is quiet. Peaceful, almost. The air is cool against my skin, and the scent of pine clings to every breath I take.I carry Emily in one arm, close to my chest, her tiny heartbeat a soft rhythm that grounds me.My other arm is wrapped gently around Ingrid, who stays tucked against my side like she’s afraid I’ll vanish if she lets go, and the same goes for me.Her warmth is real, and the weight of our daughter in my arms reminds me I’m alive. I couldn’t be more grateful.But as we move through the trees, something punches through my thoughts, and my heart stutters.“The antidote,” I breathe.Ingrid stops with me, lifting her head. “What?”“I left it. I found the herb for Ezra, but I didn’t grab it after I shifted. Everything happened so fast when I realized there was no truck.” I glance behind me, frustration building in my chest. “As soon as you two are safe, I’ll go get it.”Ingrid touches my chest gently and shakes her head. “You don’t have to. A

INGRIDHe stands there like a ghost, framed in moonlight, unmoving, blood streaking down his side, his eyes locked on mine.“No... no, it can’t be,” I whisper to myself.My throat dries instantly, and my heart skips, then slams so hard it hurts.I blink once, then again, and still, he’s there.“Kira!” I call, “Am I hallucinating, or can you see him too?” I ask, my voice barely more than a breath.“Mmmh,” Kira hums lowly in my head, her tone laced with awe. “I see him too.”He is standing over Aiden, who is groaning in pain beneath him.I take one step, then another, my feet feeling detached from my body, like I’m floating or in a dream, until I stop in front of him.Lucian doesn’t move. His dark and glassy eyes are locked on me, like he’s scared that if he blinks, I’ll vanish.I reach out, my fingertips brushing his hand, warm, rough, and real.I let out a shaky breath and trail my hand up his arm, his chest, then to the curve of his neck.My palm rests there, over the place where his

LUCIANThe moment my foot slipped from the cliff’s edge, time fractured into fragments—suspended between the snapping of branches, the rush of wind, and the sickening realization that there was no way of stopping what was coming.Tree limbs tore at my body as I went down, sharp, relentless claws of bark and splinters shredded through my flesh and fabric.Then, everything went still for a heartbeat before my back slammed against the earth with a deafening, brutal crack.Pain flared bright and immediate—and then, darkness followed.****************************************************************I woke up hours later, though it felt like I was out for centuries.At first, I couldn’t tell if I was dead or still falling. But then, the pain hit me. Not all at once, but in growing waves, like a tide rising to drown me.It started at the base of my spine and crawled up to every vertebrae, exploding across my ribs, my skull, my limbs.I couldn’t move my legs, hands, or even any of my fingers.

INGRIDThe world is sideways.Glass crunches, metal groans, and my ears ring so loudly I can barely hear Emily as her cry slices through the chaos, high and terrified.“Emily!” I gasp, my eyes scanning frantically until I spot her tiny, trembling, and somehow perched body on the dashboard, her face red and twisted in fear, but alive.“Thank the goddess,” I breathe.I try to move, but the rope around my torso bites into my ribs, keeping me tethered tight to the seat.I twist and strain, ignoring the burn along my side, but it’s useless. The knot’s tight. Too tight.My eyes dart toward Aiden, and he’s groaning beside me, upside down, his shoulder smashed against the door, cursing, spitting out dirt and blood.With a wolf snarl, he kicks the door open and stumbles into the night.“Aiden!” I scream. “Help me! Help my daughter! I—I’m still tied!”He doesn’t glance back. His tense eyes are already scanning the woods, his claws beginning to show, and his body already shifting.I scream again

INGRID.“Please… give me the antidote.” I stretch my hands toward Aiden, my voice low but urgent.He stares at me for a moment, and his fingers tighten slightly around the wrapped herbs before he shakes his head slowly.“I can’t,” he responds coolly. “You might try something stupid. Signal someone or yell on your way to Ezra’s room.”Frustration burns through me like fire, and my hands shoot up to my head, my fingers tangling in my hair as I pace, dizzy with exhaustion and rage.I want to scream at him, or lunge and rip that damn antidote from his hands but I don’t. For Emily’s sake.I force a breath in. “Then how do you expect the antidote to reach Ezra?” I ask, trying to sound composed, though my voice trembles.Aiden’s eyes flicker with thought, and after a long, tense moment, he slips a hand into his coat pocket and pulls out a small black burner phone.I blink as he flips it open, typing something quickly, before slipping it back into his coat.“Who did you text?” I ask, my stoma

INGRID’S POVEzra lies still, but I stay by his side, watching the slow rise and fall of his chest.His breathing is steady now, and his heartbeat is strong, meaning the transfusion has worked.My arm aches. My head spins and I feel like my bones are made of smoke and shadows.Every muscle in my body screams for rest, and my vision blurs at the edges, as I sway slightly where I sit. I feel like I might pass out, but I can’t, because of Emily. I have to get back to her.The nurse brings me something—a tonic or an energy booster, I don’t even know, and I drink it down without question, hoping it will help me feel better, but it barely touches the fatigue clawing at my body.I push myself up slowly, using the edge of the bed for support."I need to go back to Emily," I whisper hoarsely.The nurse nods in understanding as I take a few unsteady steps toward the door, every movement burning, every breath a struggle.Just as I reach for the handle, the nurse’s voice floats after me.
