RYDER

Morning came way too fast, but I still couldn’t sleep. I had been up all night, staying on high alert. Even though I had guards stationed all over, something still felt off. I gripped the tree trunk in front of my cabin, scanning the distance. Making sure everything was normal.

I replayed the entire process in my head. The kidnapping had gone smoothly—too smoothly. Everything went according to plan. And yet… I didn’t feel satisfied at all. The goal was right there. The hostage was secured

  • The Blind Alpha Wants Me Back!   Chapter 51| Marking in Lovemaking

    POV Liliana LennoxBefore I had time to think about everything for too long, Leta and Ernie came over with Donny. Donny was still fascinated by the knife sheath that now belonged to Scott, to the point that he stopped talking about his future sibling.“Do you want Scott to stay at our cabin again tonight?” Ernie asked, his gaze shifting from me to Ryder, then back again.“Your cabin is bigger than mine,” Ryder replied flatly, his alpha tone clearly felt. “It makes more sense for him to stay with you.”“He and his father can stay in the cabin they usually use,” Ernie suggested.Ryder immediately shook his head. “The fireplace hasn’t been lit for days. That cabin must be too cold. I won’t let a wolf child freeze in my territory.”“Scott isn’t a problem,” Leta said, unaware of the tension hanging in the air, the scent of dominance between the two men clearly felt even by me.In the end, Leta herded the children away. Ernie looked like he still wanted to speak, but finally held back and f

  • The Blind Alpha Wants Me Back!   Chapter 50| The Shadow of Farewell

    POV Liliana LennoxRyder turned quickly. In the light of the bonfire, his usually hard face seemed to be holding back a smile after my sharp comment. His jaw loosened slightly, as if he allowed himself to enjoy that thin humor—a rare luxury for an Alpha.“I just hope Aaron doesn’t get Alice pregnant and force me to move the wedding date up by a few months,” he said. His voice was low, full of calculation.“We’re collecting a lot of money for Aaron’s college expenses. So far, he’s met our expectations. I worry he’ll meet a human girl on campus and—”“And what?” I asked, when his sentence hung in the air, heavy like smoke that refused to rise.“It’s nothing.”“And what?” I pressed. In a pack, the unspoken is often more dangerous than what is said.“And want to marry her.”Those wor

  • The Blind Alpha Wants Me Back!   Chapter 49| Fire, Promises, and Blood Territory

    POV Liliana LennoxThe bonfire burned high that night, casting light across the faces gathered in a circle. The air vibrated with laughter, with the aroma of roasting meat, and with a belief thickening like smoke: the tribal Council had a plan to reclaim their forest—the red forest.Not everyone knew the details. Not everyone needed to know. In a pack, trust is the hardest currency of all. And tonight, that trust flowed freely.I sat on a blanket beside Ryder, my back feeling the heat of the fire, my skin feeling the heat of the Alpha’s presence at my side. Around us, people treated the tribal leaders with deeper respect than usual. Gazes lowered, shoulders tilted slightly forward—the body language of the pack acknowledging power and hoping for protection.Zero approached while we were eating. Since my attempt to escape by manipulating him, he now worked like a wolf determined to make amends: diligent, silent, focused. Tonight he stopped in front of us and extended both hands level wi

  • The Blind Alpha Wants Me Back!   Chapter 48| The Child I Kept Secret

    POV Liliana LennoxI swallowed. “He threatened to destroy my life if I revealed the truth about our divorce. It wouldn’t be good for his image. That’s why he made the first move by slandering me, saying I deceived him for money and my kept men.”“He’ll never get what he wants,” Ryder said coldly. His Alpha aura rippled, making the air inside the cabin feel heavier.“Maybe not,” I replied, then fell silent.If Ethan were to find out that he had a child I’d kept secret all this time, he might take that child from me. I would never allow it! Even Ryder couldn’t be trusted for now.I didn’t want to place my child in a chaotic, publicly broadcast trial. Ethan knew that. He needed an heir. Because all this time everyone believed he was disabled and wouldn’t be able to have children.“Is there something you’re hiding from me about your marriage?” Ryder asked.I looked at him nervously, then made an excuse.“Ethan has quite a lot of friends among the upper circles,” I said softly. “People wil

  • The Blind Alpha Wants Me Back!   47| I Never Wanted That Marriage

    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?
