All Chapters of The Alpha's Castaway Mate: Mummy, Is He Our Daddy?: Chapter 211 - Chapter 220

~Ruby’s POV~As soon as Roman and I stepped into the house, a suffocating weight settled over me. The silence wasn’t just empty—it was wrong. Heavy. It crawled over my skin, sinking into my chest, making it hard to breathe.My breath caught, my chest tightening as my eyes darted wildly over the destruction before me. The couch lay overturned, shattered glass crunched beneath my boots, and streaks of blood—dark, smeared—marred the walls like something, or someone, had been dragged.A cold shiver clawed up my spine. My stomach twisted into knots.And then it hit me.The kids.I sucked in a sharp breath, my voice breaking as I called out. "Helen? Rhett? Ruby?"Nothing.No footsteps. No voices. Just the eerie stillness of a house that should’ve been filled with laughter, with noise, with life.Panic gripped my throat, making it hard to breathe. I moved without thinking, pushing through the mess of broken furniture and accidentally knocking over a lamp in my desperate search. My heart rac

~Roman's POV~Minutes ago…The hospital lights above me buzzed softly, their harsh glow doing little to ease the anxiety churning inside me. I clenched my phone tightly as I walked back and forth in the hallway, my thumb repeatedly pressing the screen in frustration. The call just wouldn’t connect. I dialled once more, my patience thinning with each unanswered ring.“What the hell was he thinking?” I muttered.“Calm down, Roman. Relax for a second.” Kai’s voice was steady, but I could hear the wariness laced beneath it.I turned to him, my glare cutting. “Don’t—don’t tell me to calm down, Kai.”Kai sighed, rubbing his forehead. He knew me well enough by now to understand there was no reeling me back once I got to this point.“This was between me and him,” I seethed, stuffing my phone back into my pocket. “No one else. He had no business dragging anyone into this.”Kai exhaled, arms crossed over his chest. “Helen was obstructing, I guess.”“No.” I shook my head. “Even if she wasn’t,

ROMAN’S POVWeeks turned into months, but the thought of Ruby never left me. The girl I had cast out, humiliated, and tossed aside had taken root in my mind like an ache that wouldn't fade. I didn't know when it started—when guilt became regret, when regret became longing. And when longing turned into something I never thought I'd feel.I had fallen for her… even in her absence.But she was nowhere to be found.At first, I convinced myself she was hiding, waiting for things to blow over before she returned. But as time passed, that hope crumbled. She wasn’t at her uncle’s. She had no friends who would take her in. She had nowhere to go.So where the hell was she?Desperation clawed at me. I sent out word myself, asking anyone who might have seen her. I searched the city, turning over every stone, checking every street she might have wandered. But it was as if she had vanished into thin air.The thought that she might have wandered into the woods haunted me. I sent patrols out, ordere

~Roman’s POV~The door to Abel’s study was slightly open, almost like it was inviting me in. I didn’t bother knocking. As I pushed it open, the hinges made a quiet creak.Abel was sitting behind his desk, looking relaxed, almost lazy, as if he had nothing better to do than wait for me. He leaned back in his chair, one leg crossed over the other, with his hands resting on his stomach. The warm amber light in the room created a cozy atmosphere, but it couldn’t hide the underlying tension that always seemed to surround him.He smirked.The bastard had been waiting for me."Enjoying your grand return?" he asked, tilting his head like a smug cat watching a cornered mouse.His voice, smooth and without feeling, sent shivers down my spine. I could feel my jaw tightening as I walked closer, fists clenched by my sides. Anger pulsed through me, and every part of my body felt ready to explode.“Where are my kids?” I growled, not bothering with pleasantries. Abel leaned forward, resting his elb

~Rhett’s POV~We finally reached a big door. It was huge and dark, with heavy wood that made a low creaking sound when I pushed it open.Then we froze.A man was already there, standing tall in front of us. He didn’t move. His hands were behind his back like he was waiting. Watching. A slow, creepy smile grew on his face.My stomach flipped.“Uh-oh,” “Where do you think you’re going?” the man asked in a low and scary voice.“Umm… just trying to get some air,” Little Ruby said with a nervous laugh.“More like you were escaping,” he said, cracking his knuckles loud like breaking sticks.“Something like that,” I said, trying to smile like I wasn’t scared. But I was. So much.“But you’re gonna let us go… right?” Little Ruby asked, hopeful.“Why should I do that?” he asked, raising one eyebrow.“The others that tried didn’t end well,” Ruby said quickly.He laughed. It wasn’t a nice laugh. It made my arms feel cold.“Bluffing type, I see,” he said.Ruby and I looked at each other and tried
