LILIANA

I thought he knew about me when he mentioned the threat that I might never see my child again. Turns out, he knew nothing. I just gave a bitter smile. Three years ago, after being thrown out of Solaris Heights by my own husband, Ethan Darnell, and accused of being a fraud in that political marriage, I disappeared completely. No one knew if I was still alive or what I was up to.

Ryder Black was Ethan Darnell’s childhood friend—at least, that’s what I heard from the gossip floating around Celestia’s elite circles. But I had only met him once, at my wedding to Ethan. So why the hell is he suddenly here, kidnapping me?

I blinked, staring at Ryder’s face. He looked even more handsome up close. My first meeting with him had left no impression whatsoever. Back then, I hadn’t even noticed him. My mind was too full of anger at being forced to marry Ethan Darnell—a man I never loved. Is this kidnapping also Ethan’s doing?

From this close, Ryder Black’s face was almost hypnotic. Every sh

  • The Blind Alpha Wants Me Back!   36| You Never Heard My Explanation

    LILIANA"I'm so tired of all your drama trying to escape," Ryder sneered, then threw a pillow on the floor in front of me. "Just use the blanket Serina brought earlier."I didn't respond. I just glared at him, then struggled to lie down on the cold wooden floor. My back ached, my arms were sore from the uncomfortable position. But that wasn’t what made it hard to sleep.What made me restless... was that sound.The rustling of fabric. The sound of a belt being unfastened. A shirt being pulled over the head. I held my breath.Was Ryder... taking off his clothes?My face instantly flushed. I knew I wasn’t supposed to care. I knew I should only be thinking about escaping from here. But I still couldn’t help eavesdropping.I wanted to open my eyes. Just a quick peek. Just to see a little.But the sound of his footsteps approaching made me pretend to sleep immediately. I controlled my breathing carefully. My heart pounded.He stopped beside me. I could feel his gaze."Liliana," he said soft

  • The Blind Alpha Wants Me Back!   35| Floor or Bed?

    LILIANAThat night felt cold, even though the fire in the cabin’s hearth still burned. A thin mist hung outside, as if it too was hiding sins that had yet to be uncovered.I tried to push his chest. But he was too strong, and I was too weak in his embrace.“Let me go, Ryder!” I hissed, half panicked, half disgusted.His hand traced my waist slowly, as if marking his territory. The touch made my body tense—not out of desire, but out of disgust and fear. The tremble of his hand was cold against my skin, sending waves of nausea through my stomach.“I didn’t do it! I’m not a whore!” I cried desperately.But that’s what the rumors said. It was even featured in a special news report for the wives of famous men. My name and face were clearly displayed on the screen, next to a headline that made everyone blame me for my divorce with Ethan three years ago. Gossip too perfect to believe, too cruel to ignore.“That’s just gossip!” I hissed, trying to keep my distance from Ryder, slipping away fr

  • The Blind Alpha Wants Me Back!   34 | Don’t Touch My Weak Spot

    LILIANAIt was late at night. The wind slipped in through the cracks of the old cabin door, brushing against my skin, carrying the scent of wet earth and mist. Inside this cabin built from solid wood, lit only by a flickering oil lamp, I stood frozen. My breath hitched. Ryder stood tall in front of me—rigid and unyielding. His eyes locked on me like a hawk eyeing its prey."Fine," he finally said, voice deep and sharp. "I'll let you go..."I could barely believe what I just heard. My throat clenched. My chest felt like it might explode. Did this mean he finally realized how foolish it was to trust Ethan? Or... did my words actually get through to him? Did they make him feel something?But before I could even process that thought, his cold voice cut through again."On one condition," he added.I blinked. Of course. There was always a condition. It was never that easy. I clenched my fists, trying to calm the chaos in my chest."Condition?" I muttered, barely audible.Ryder stared at me

  • The Blind Alpha Wants Me Back!   33| Keep Provoking Him

    LILIANAI don’t even know how long I sat curled up on that hard bed, my body stiff and aching. The rough ropes tying my wrists and ankles just got more painful every time I tried to move. The cold air inside this wooden cabin cut right to the bone, making the hopelessness gnawing at my heart even worse.I was beyond bored—but mostly, I was furious.Earlier this afternoon, some big guy had brought me food. He also offered to help me go to the bathroom, all stiff and formal like a damn robot. I refused both. I wasn’t about to depend on anyone here, especially not to show weakness.He ignored all my begging and threats. His face didn’t even change when I tried. After I tried to escape last night—stealing one of their horses, no less—they were definitely being way more careful.I let out a slow breath, trying to keep the frustration inside.When night fell and it got darker outside, I heard heavy footsteps coming toward the cabin. I immediately sat up straighter, alert. Maybe this was ano

  • The Blind Alpha Wants Me Back!   32| Just Their Act

    LILIANAHe threw me down on the sturdy, pretty decent-sized bed in this cabin. Honestly, this bed was way better than the one they stuck me with last night. But it wasn’t the bed I cared about. I wanted answers.Ryder couldn’t just walk away after what he said. I should’ve known from the start that something felt off. I struggled to sit up and was ready to sprint after him to stop him from leaving.I glared at Ryder’s back, my whole body burning with rage. But he didn’t even flinch. Like my anger didn’t mean a damn thing to him. Without even glancing back, he walked toward the rickety wooden door. This cabin didn’t even have windows—obviously built to keep people locked in. People like me.“Wait!” I screamed, my voice echoing through the stuffy room. “Don’t you dare leave me without answering, Ryder! Don’t you freaking ignore me!”I could feel my pulse pounding under my skin. My anger boiled over, burning away every last bit of logic I had. I seriously felt like I could do anything ri

  • The Blind Alpha Wants Me Back!   31| I'm Scared to Know the Truth

    LILIANAI didn’t have much of a choice but to ride with him. Ryder yanked me up onto his horse without warning, making our bodies press together. I could feel his heavy breathing right by my ear, one hand on the reins and the other wrapped tightly around my waist.I felt sick. Not having a wolf made me feel like dead weight. Ryder didn’t even bother carrying me on his back—he’d rather use a horse to drag us both around."Sit still and stop moving," he hissed. "If you try to jump off, I’m not responsible if you get hurt."I bit my lip, holding back the rage boiling inside me. I knew Ryder wasn’t someone you could reason with—especially not in moments like this. His horse galloped down a rocky road, far from the nearest village. I felt trapped, like a bird with no wings."So... whose baby is it?" His cold voice cut through my thoughts.I tensed. My heart started pounding faster. He knew. But how?"Does Ethan Darnell know you have a kid? Or is it someone else’s?"I closed my eyes, trying
