The Blind Alpha Wants Me Back! 44| Feeling Special
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
The Blind Alpha Wants Me Back! 43| You Called Me Ana
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
The Blind Alpha Wants Me Back! 41| The End of a Punishment?
LILIANAI couldn't find peace. My heart had been restless since dawn. Sit, stand, then sit again. I clenched my fingers, staring out of Ryder’s cold, lifeless wooden cabin window. Days here felt like waiting for an execution: silent, desolate, full of dread.What were they doing out there? What had happened to those children? Especially… my little baby? I knew those wolves would do anything for their ambitions. They never cared about anyone besides themselves and their pack.And if Ethan Darnell found out about my baby...My jaw tightened. That man’s heart beat only for power. And if he knew that my child carried even a drop of his blood, I couldn’t imagine the hell he’d create.And Ryder… stubborn, cruel, and full of secrets. I never knew what he was thinking. This morning, he’d come with eyes as empty as pits—never spoke a word. Just stared at me coldly, as if I was a burden.I turned my back to him when he entered. Then I heard him stride quickly—so fast.The blanket covering me wa
The Blind Alpha Wants Me Back! 40| How Long Will This Punishment Last?
LILIANA"Sarah, I know you have plenty of other things to do. You don’t have to stay here and wait on me," I said, trying to sound calm. I just wanted a little space for myself, away from judging—or pitying—eyes.Sarah, who had just escorted me back to Ryder’s cabin, looked at me curiously. "You already tried to escape," she said firmly.Her tone made me frown. It was true. But I didn’t expect her to keep bringing it up.Serina was actually supposed to watch over me today, but I made her angry, and she left without a word, leaving only Aunt Sarah with me."I won’t try it again," I said, trying to reassure her.Sarah sighed. "You should’ve known Ryder would find you."I lowered my gaze. "I think I did... but I felt like I had to try."Something in Sarah’s eyes told me she didn’t truly understand, and maybe she never would. She lived in a completely different world than mine. I looked into her eyes, but I didn’t expect understanding from her.Sarah shook her head. "I’d rather be protect
The Blind Alpha Wants Me Back! 39| What Ryder is Looking For
LILIANAI tossed the peeled potato into the bowl of clean water. It splashed a bit on my shirt, but I didn’t care. My hands were starting to ache, but for some reason, my mind felt even more exhausted.“Sarah…” I muttered at last. “I’m having a hard time believing what you said about Ryder. I mean… I rarely see the good in him.”Sarah didn’t answer right away. She was busy slicing carrots, her sharp eyes focused on the cutting board like the vegetables might hold the answers to life. Then, slowly, she murmured, “Oh, that...”I raised an eyebrow, waiting.“He still hasn’t let go of his grandfather’s and little sister’s deaths,” Sarah continued. “They died when the Red Forest was being contested by so many parties. Back then... our family was really on the brink.”I went quiet. My heart felt like it had slowed.“Wow,” I whispered in surprise. “Was his grandfather a guiding figure in his life?”Sarah nodded softly. “Yes. Ryder idolized his grandfather. But not his father. They almost alw
