Semua Bab The Blind Alpha Wants Me Back!: Bab 31 - Bab 40

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

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

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

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

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
