LILIANA

I looked around. These people had shifted from their wolf forms to human. One thing was clear—they were all city folks. Not like I expected, thinking they were werewolves who lived in the wild, roaming with their packs. I thought they were just a bunch of rogue wolves with no leader.

I had to admit, Ryder’s presence and voice were captivating. He stood out more than the others. His eyes were insanely blue and shining, but was he really that mesmerizing?

Three years ago, I heard Ryder was an alpha. But it seemed like there was no hierarchy here. If that was true, were they just a bunch of exiled wolves banding together as outlaws?

Whoa… that thought surprised even me. And that aggressive woman from earlier—was she one of them too? What did Ryder give her to make her throw herself at him like that? Ugh, just thinking about it disgusted me.

Then, there was the guy who kidnapped me in the alley. He was here too. I heard them call him Randal. I thought he was the only one who addre

    POV Liliana Lennox“Not funny,” I said, shaking my head. “I’m just confirming one thing.” I pointed at the map. “You mean the new owners took over that land as an addition to the mine?”“There’s barbed wire around it now,” Ryder replied. “No trespassing signs posted every few meters.” He snorted. “I guess that means they’re claiming it.”I drew a deep breath. “Then they did it illegally.”Ryder stiffened. I could feel his Alpha aura shift—more focused, sharper. “What do you mean?”I stepped closer, pulled the map further toward the center of the table, and spread it out completely. “Look at this pasture. Several square kilometers, right?”He nodded.“That land is listed in the survey drawing,” I continued, “but it’s not mentioned in the deed of sale.”Ryder fell silent. Seconds passed, then his eyes widened slightly. I heard his breathing change.“You’re sure?” His voice trembled, and not from fear.I looked straight at him. “Ryder, I studied drawings like these every day before I was

  • The Blind Alpha Wants Me Back!   46 | A Small Loophole on Paper

    POV Liliana LennoxI cleared the breakfast dishes from the long wooden table in the cabin, one by one sinking them into a large basin filled with hot water from the pump. Steam billowed up, fogging the windows. My hands moved automatically—scrubbing, rinsing, stacking—while my thoughts drifted far away to Ryder and the burden he carried as Alpha.This cabin was far from comfortable. The facilities were minimal, the furnishings rough, everything utterly basic. Yet strangely, I hardly noticed the shortcomings. My head was too busy turning over Ryder’s dilemma: the tribe, the blood oath, the red forest, and me. All of it tangled together into one complicated knot that wasn’t easy to untie.When I finished, I turned around—and found Ryder standing near the table, opening a small metal box. The key was tiny, gold-colored, a sharp contrast to his large hands marked by hard labor. From inside the box, he took out a stack of papers and dropped them just like that onto the table.“What’s that?

  • The Blind Alpha Wants Me Back!   45| Light in the Wolf’s Eyes

    POV LILIANA LENNOXWhen I woke up, Ryder had already left the cabin. The warmth of his body still lingered faintly in the air, but his presence itself was gone.I rose slowly, got dressed, then lit the fire in the stove. Routine took over: straightening the bed, heating water, brewing coffee. I cursed myself for acting like a housewife—a role I had never imagined for myself. Yet every time my reflection caught on the gleaming metal surface, I fell silent. There was light in my eyes. And a smile that refused to fade.My body remembered the night in its own way, too. There was a strange but pleasant ache low in my abdomen. My chest felt heavy and warm, sensitive to even the slightest touch. Ryder hadn’t quenched that thirst—he had created it. Like a wolf’s instinct left hanging, deliberately restrained so it would grow sharper.I slapped my heated cheeks with both hands. What was wrong with me? In all my life, I had never thought about something this foolish. For heaven’s sake… I was cl

    LILIANA“Come on, it’s time to go back!” Ryder’s voice sounded firm, like a command that could not be defied.I was still standing there, my body refusing to move. The cold air began to bite at my skin, but my mind was far noisier than the chill. He was just going to leave, without answering my question? No. I wasn’t going to let him ignore me this time.“I don’t want my question to be ignored,” I said softly, almost a whisper, but enough to make him stop in his tracks.Ryder didn’t turn around. His shoulders tensed slightly, then relaxed again. He pretended not to hear, pretended to be busy starting the car.Desperately, I stepped closer and tugged at the hem of his shirt. My pull was strong enough to make him turn. His eyes met mine—sharp, yet there was something behind that gaze I couldn’t decipher.“Why did you call me Ana?” I asked, my voice trembling, whether from nerves or from the curiosity I had kept inside for too long.Ryder’s face stiffened. Only for a moment, but I saw it

    LILIANA“Ryder…” I whispered, half wanting to protest, half not knowing what else to say.He didn’t answer. One hand moved to my back, holding me there, leaving me no choice but to stay there. I tried to squirm, but his grip was too strong—not rough, but leaving no room.The distance between us had almost disappeared completely. I could feel his heartbeat, fast and steady, pounding against his chest. The water around us rippled gently, as if responding to the tension.“Is this… also part of the punishment?” I asked, my voice soft and barely audible.He stared at me for a long moment, so long that I began to feel uneasy. Then he said quietly but firmly, “This… is part of reminding you. That I’m in control.”My body tensed. There was anger there, but also a strange feeling I couldn’t quite explain.I tried to look away, but Ryder’s hand on my waist remained unmoving. And I hate to admit it—I didn’t quite want him to let me go.The tension was both suffocating and making it difficult to

  • The Blind Alpha Wants Me Back!   42| Steam and Unspoken Feelings

    LILIANAThrough the narrow gap I’d cursed earlier for forcing me to crawl like a snake, I saw something that made my breath hitch.Not the aurora. Not a night sky painted by God.Something more magical than that.A pool.A natural hot spring hidden among giant boulders. Steam rose like dawn fog, caressing the water’s surface with a teasing touch. Around it, green moss hung down, and granite stones formed a natural enclosure, as if God Himself had hidden this place from the world.I froze. My mouth fell slightly open. I even forgot how to blink—until someone beside me cleared his throat softly.“Not bad, huh?”Ryder—the mysterious creature who had just dragged me from the cabin, the one I’d nearly cursed in ten different languages—now stood with his chin lifted, a smug half-smile on his face, as if he had just shown me the seventh wonder of the world and he was its architect.“What… is this place?” I asked, almost whispering.“A place I come to whenever I want to get away from the worl
