Kieran

I stood there in the middle of her sitting room with my jaw locked so tight it hurt.

“The math was simple and ugly. Refuse and I scream. Jade comes. You die. Vera loses the only person still trying to keep her alive.” Her voice threatened me.

I figured the rest. Comply and I live long enough to keep protecting her. Even if it means becoming the exact kind of man I swore I’d never be.

I could already feel the part of me that still belonged to Vera shutting down, folding itself away so I

  • TRAPPED BY THE ALPHA WHO HATES ME   Chapter 49: Strange Comfort

    Narrator Dr. John Hart was typing when Rowan walked into his office, and the older man barely looked up from his computer screen.“I need you to run three DNA panels,” Rowan said. “Mine, Kieran’s, and yours. Cross-reference them against the fetal samples we collected from Vera.”Dr. John finally glanced up over his reading glasses. “You’re thinking of a compatible donor?”“I’m thinking we might get lucky. Someone’s blood might work. Someone in this room might be able to help her.”“That’s not how biology works, Rowan. You can’t just…”“I know how it works,” Rowan interrupted. “Run the tests anyway.”Ten hours.That’s how long it took for the results to come back, and in those ten hours, Kieran sat in a hard plastic chair outside Vera’s hospital room and didn’t sleep. Didn’t eat the sandwich Rowan brought him. Didn’t move except to check her pulse every thirty minutes like that motion alone could keep her alive.His jaw was dark with stubble by hour six. By hour eight, his hands were

  • TRAPPED BY THE ALPHA WHO HATES ME   Chapter 48: The Father

    Narrator The plane touched down at exactly three in the morning, and Rowan didn’t wait for the wheels to stop rolling before he was moving toward the cargo hold where they’d strapped Vera’s unconscious body to a medical gurney.Dr. John Hart was already waiting on the tarmac when the cabin door opened. He’d been Rowan’s friend for almost twenty years, back when they were both younger and more reckless, and he was one of the few people in the human world who knew exactly what Rowan was. Behind him stood a full emergency medical team with another gurney, IV stands, and equipment that made Kieran’s breath catch in his chest.“How long?” John asked, not wasting time on greeting.“Since the attack,” Rowan said. “Six hours. Maybe seven. We stopped the bleeding but she’s been unconscious the entire time.”“Vitals?”“Dropping. Slowly but dropping. Heart rate elevated, blood pressure unstable.”John was already moving toward Vera, his hands checking her pulse, lifting her eyelids, assessing

  • TRAPPED BY THE ALPHA WHO HATES ME   Chapter 47: Human Escape

    KieranVera’s chest stopped moving.I felt it first before I understood what I was feeling—that sudden absence of rise and fall under my palm, that moment when her body just went still in a way that bodies aren’t supposed to go still.“No, no, no, no,” I said. My voice sounded like it belonged to someone else.Rowan was driving. His hands were tight on the steering wheel, and he was focused on the narrow underground tunnel in front of us, but I could feel him waiting to hear what I was going to say next.I put my hands on her chest. I’d never done CPR before. I’d never learned it. But I’d seen it enough times on television that my body just started doing the motions anyway.Push. Push. One two three four five.“Come on, Vera,” I whispered into the space between us. “Come on, baby, come on.”“Is she okay? Has she…” Rowan started, but he didn’t finish the question because he already knew.“She stopped breathing,” I said. I was already leaning over, and I pressed my mouth to hers, trying

  • TRAPPED BY THE ALPHA WHO HATES ME   Chapter 46: Final Card

    Alpha RowanThe device was the size of my palm.I slowly raised it above my head, making sure every soldier could see the single red button.“This,” I said calmly, “is connected to enough explosive material beneath this garage floor to level three city blocks.”The soldiers froze.Even Garrett’s face changed as his eyes locked on the device.Kieran stared at me in disbelief.He had already accepted that we were trapped. He had no idea I had one final card left to play.“Bastard,” Kieran murmured.“That’s not going to work,” Garrett said. He actually laughed, that sharp, confident sound of a man who thought he had all the angles figured out. “You’re bluffing. You’d never detonate explosives with your own people still in the building.”His men started laughing too. It was that nervous kind of laughter that happens when soldiers realize their commander might have made a mistake but they’re not ready to admit it yet. They were looking at each other, trying to figure out if this was actu

  • TRAPPED BY THE ALPHA WHO HATES ME   Chapter 45: Dead End

    Alpha Rowan The garage was supposed to be empty.I could already hear the hum of the elevator we’d taken down, that metallic ding as it settled back in place on the ground level above us, and went silent.Kieran was behind me, he had his hands on the back of Vera’s wheelchair pushing with his jaw clenched so tight I could see the muscle working. And he wouldn’t stop touching her. Every few seconds, he’d reach down, his fingers would move to her neck, checking her pulse like if he did it enough times, the answer might change. Like her body might suddenly remember how to keep itself alive. Like she might suddenly snap awake and tell us she was fine. She wasn’t fine. “How much longer to the car?” Kieran asked me. His voice was hoarse, like he’d been screaming even though he hadn’t made a sound.We were moving through the underground garage now, and the concrete was cold under my feet. Everything down here felt like it existed in a permanent state of abandonment. That was the point.

  • TRAPPED BY THE ALPHA WHO HATES ME   Chapter 44: Fatal Truth

    KieranI wished I could explain everything to Rowan. I wished I could tell him that I never went to Vera’s pack intending to steal Alpha Jade’s mate. “I went there to sign an agreement, nothing more. Then I saw how they treated her. The way they humiliated her, the way they looked at her like she was worthless because fate had made her an omega despite the Alpha blood in her veins. I couldn’t walk away from that.”“That was how it started. I helped her because I couldn’t stand watching what they were doing to her. Then we started talking. We became close. Somewhere along the way, I began feeling that pull whenever I was near her.”“I still didn’t know what it meant. Maybe it was something divine. Maybe it was a mate bond. Or maybe we had simply been through too much together, and what I thought was a bond was nothing more than trauma tying us together. But whatever it was, I never planned for any of this.”Rowan didn’t look up from Vera’s abdomen, where his hands were pressing gently

    VeraYou learn not to confront your cheating husband when you’ve been punished for doing it once. I had asked him once why he brought different women into our home, why he touched them in front of me like I was fucking invisible. I didn’t scream or throw a tantrum. I just stood there and asked, “

    VeraThey locked me out again.And this time, it wasn’t just them ignoring me or slamming a door in my face. It was real. They actually locked me out. In the middle of a storm that sounded like it could tear the whole house apart. I raised one hand to shield my face, like that would stop the rai
