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!   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

  • The Blind Alpha Wants Me Back!   38| It’s My Heart That’s Torn, Not the Shirt

    LILIANA“We don’t have a baby,” I said in a near-whisper, filled with anger, staring into Ryder Black’s eyes that burned like coals on the verge of explosion. My tone was calm but sharp—like a dagger slicing slowly.“If you ever do it—if you hurt those kids at the orphanage—I’ll make sure to kill you with my own two hands.”This time, I wasn’t playing. I wasn’t throwing out empty threats. I meant it. The children at the orphanage were part of my life, the only tiny light in the rubble of my world. If anyone dared touch them, I would become something even I wouldn’t recognize.Ryder looked away. The fire in his eyes dimmed. There was something buried in his gaze—regret, maybe. Or just frustration.“I’m not that vile,” he finally muttered, his voice hoarse, like he was talking to himself. “I’m just… angry. Because Ethan barely said a word about our problem to the press.”He turned and picked up my shirt—still bloodstained and torn in several places. His face was stiff, his eyes filled w

  • The Blind Alpha Wants Me Back!   37| I Enjoy the Tension Between Us

    LILIANAThe cabin fell silent. The sound of children playing echoed faintly from a distance, mingling with the murmur of a waterfall carried by the wind. Occasionally, there was the clanging of a hammer and the barking of dogs from the village. But all of that felt like another world—a distant world, separate from the quiet space now filled only by me and Ryder Black.The tension between us thickened like morning fog in the valley. I couldn’t bear the silence any longer. Ever since he asked his companions to leave, Ryder had only told me to stay. No explanation. No clear purpose. Just that cold, calculating gaze that made me uneasy.“If you have nothing to say, I’d better go,” I finally said, stepping toward the door.I hadn’t made it halfway across the room when swift footsteps stopped me. Ryder. That tall, firm body moved quickly, like a wolf in the dead of night. He stood before me in the blink of an eye.“Don’t go.”His voice was flat, but there was something in the tone I couldn’

  • 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
