All Chapters of Avoiding My Alpha Baby Daddy : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

My breath hitched. I wanted to believe him. I wanted to believe that our feelings were stronger than the weight of the world pressing down on us. But I knew better. I knew that loving Kieran meant losing him one day. Maybe to his enemies. Maybe to the war. Or maybe to the truth, I was too afraid to tell him. Because one day, he would find out. And I didn’t know if he’d ever forgive me. ---Kieran's povI left Naya’s room only when I was certain she had fallen asleep. But sleep wouldn’t come for me. I made my way down the halls, my mind racing. The war wasn’t just a possibility anymore. It was a guarantee. I had killed one of their men. And now, they would come for mine. As I stepped into my private study, I found several of my most trusted men already waiting. Lukas, my second-in-command, was leaning against my desk, arms crossed. "They’ve sent a warning." I scoffed. "A warning?" "A declaration of war." He tossed a parchment onto my desk. "They wa

Naya's POV The moment the words left my mouth, I realized how quiet the room had become. A presence loomed behind us. I turned slowly, my breath catching when I saw them. Joan’s father. And beside him, another man—the Alpha. Joan smiled sweetly. “Oh dear, this is quite the misunderstanding.” Her father frowned, glancing between us. “What’s going on here?” Kieran tensed beside me, but before I could speak, Joan stepped in. “Naya’s a little emotional right now,” she said gently, tilting her head toward me. “Losing a child will do that to you.” My blood turned to ice. I stared at her, my hands trembling. No. No, she wouldn’t— I turned to Kieran, horror gripping me. His expression was unreadable, but there was something in his eyes—something raw, something broken. He knew. My breath hitched. “You… You know?” Kieran closed his eyes for a brief second before exhaling through his nose. “She told me.” I stumbled back a step, shaking my head. “No.” “She and he

Kieran’s POV The pressure was relentless. Every day, more messages came in. More demands. More threats. My pack remained untouched, but the tension in the air was suffocating. The other Alphas weren’t backing down, and neither was I. They wanted unity—an alliance through marriage. To them, I was an obstacle standing in the way of peace. I barely got any sleep. Lukas, my Beta, stood across from me in my office, arms crossed as he watched me carefully. “You’re running yourself into the ground, Kieran.” I didn’t respond. I was too busy reviewing the latest reports from my men stationed in the outer territories. Another attack. Another warning. Lukas sighed. “I know you don’t want to hear it, but there is a solution.” I lifted my gaze. “If you tell me to accept their deal, I’ll throw you out of this office myself.” “I’m not saying that.” Lukas held his hands up. “But think about it—if you refuse outright, they’ll turn on you. If you accept, you buy yourself time.” I gr

Kieran’s POV The room was silent when I woke up. Not the kind of silence that comes with peace—but the heavy, suffocating kind. The kind that screamed something was wrong. I turned over, expecting to pull Naya against me, but she was already awake. She lay on her side, her back to me, curled slightly inward. She hadn’t moved all night. I hadn’t said a single word since what happened between us. I reached out, hesitantly brushing my fingers against the bare skin of her shoulder. She flinched. It was so small that I might have missed it if it weren’t for me. But I didn’t. A sharp, painful weight settled in my chest. "Naya," I said, my voice rough from sleep. She didn't respond. I shifted closer, letting my hand slide down her arm, but she stayed rigid. That’s when I knew— I had broken something last night. Maybe not physically, but something inside her. And for the first time in my life, I regretted it. I opened my mouth to say anything, but a sud

Naya's Pov Kieran placed me on lockdown. He posted guards outside my door. He wouldn’t even look at me after what I said. But I wasn’t done fighting. Because one of the maids—Elise—had been watching. And when she slipped into my room that night, she pressed a small vial into my hands. “A sleeping dose,” she whispered. Hope flickered in my chest. I squeezed her hand. “Thank you.” That night, I laced the guards’ drinks with the powder. And when their bodies slumped to the floor, I grabbed my bag and ran. I didn’t stop. Not when the cool night air hit my skin. Not when my heart screamed at me to turn back. Not even when I felt the distant, soul-crushing pull of our bond stretching to its breaking point. I ran. And as I disappeared into the darkness, I whispered— “I’m doing this for you, Kieran.” Even if it kills me. ---Kieran's POV(I couldn’t breathe.The darkness was closing in, thick and suffocating.I saw blood.Naya’s blood.Her body lay lifeles
