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!   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?

  • 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

  • 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
