All Chapters of Pregnant For The Ruthless Alpha But Secretly An Heiress : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Lucy’s POVI wasn’t by contract supposed to leave the pack talk more of going to places like the hospital. Ryker was very clear about that. "No visits of any type," he said. "The heir to the throne must of no account be in an unhealthy environment. It must always be a place, safe and protected from danger."But that didn't sit well with me. Maybe he was doing all that to keep me in the dark and keep me from finding out all the strange happenings around me. But it was so hard staying away from my own blood. Eli’s eyes kept glowing irresistibly like something seen in a nightmare. His breathing still hasn't returned to normal, with the same shallow and uneven pattern. So I got tired of waiting, got tired of living at his mercy, so I slipped out, careful to clear the guards so as not to be seen, hoping as I made my way to the hospital that Nurse Kara was right, that there's a high possibility of him pulling through.As I made my way back to the pack, back to Ryker's penthouse, on the pat

Ryker’s POVThe moon was fuller than usual and glowing, and I could tell it was watching us.We stood facing each other in silence, but this time, not inside the house in the study or living room; we were in the garden behind Alpha's house. Surrounding us were different wildflowers, though we had other company. We were also surrounded by uncountable damn emotions, and I had no idea what to do with them. Lucy glanced up at me.Her expression did not show fear, nor did it show anger.She was just there, more beautiful than ever, barefooted before me. Her hair was messy, and her beauty was something to study. Her lips parted adequately as if it was inviting me to devour them. I watched her attractive, messy hair and didn't know which was messier, her or my heart. Even my sanity wasn't guaranteed again by just seeing her. I had no idea how long I could hold on before finally slipping.“Are you okay?” I asked.She nodded like it was normal to just nod, but her eyes were saying otherwise,

Ryker’s POVMy phone rang not once but twice. I checked only to see that it was Nurse Kara. I answered on the second ring, “What is it this time?”Her voice didn't come out clearly, but it was messy with panic. “Alpha, you need to hear this. It’s Eli. Something wrong is happening to him. It seems he's shifting. Though I observed that's not fully, it's on his weak bones. He will soon scream down the hospital. His eyes are no more normal as we speak now, Alpha Ryker; they’re seriously glowing.”I didn't wait for her to finish her narration; I was already halfway out of the house before he even concluded with the call. I stormed with urgency into the part reserved as the medical wing. I could feel it in the air, everywhere tensed up because of the recent development. “Where exactly did you keep him now?” I barked on entering the hospital.“He's in room three,” Kara whispered, her eyes wide in panic. “But, Alpha, I noticed that he’s not the regular, not the normal hybrid we know.”“The

Lucy’s POV"My birthday happens to be next week," I muttered to no one but myself, lost as I stared at the calendar I had prepared on my phone.“Almost here already?” Kara asked like she had been expecting it, raising a brow.“Yeah, very close. The big awaited twenty-five is here. That's more like quarter-century crisis loading,” I said amidst a laugh. “But that's not really what it's all about.”“What’s up with you?”I hesitated, not knowing if I should discuss that with her. “Do you still remember that time I confided in you concerning my uncle, the only family that probably is still alive?"“Yeah, I can still remember. The one who took care of you and Eli the moment your parents died but left shorty two months after Eli became sick."I nodded in confirmation. “Well, that same uncle gave me something strange on my eighteenth birthday. It was an old bronze key that I have no idea what it's all about. The only explanation he gave me then was that I wasn't of age to understand then but

Lucy’s POVAfter leaving Ryker's bedroom with my mother's Will, I entered my own quarters to look at it. I was still looking for answers and needed to search everywhere for them. I opened the surrogate contract to take a second look at it. There may be something I didn't check well because I was in a hurry to sign it and get medical help for Eli. As I opened the fake marriage contract, which bound me to Ryker for a stipulated time, something in me knew everything wasn't right. Then I saw it! I saw the clause!“RYKER!” I shouted at the top of my voice.He looked up from his desk, as he was busy doing whatever and never expected to see me so soon, especially after our last encounter in his bedroom. “Lucy...?” he drew my name with a calm voice, so calm that it made me slow down. “What’s is it again? What went wrong this time?”I slammed the fake marriage contract on his desk he was working on. “You tell me what you plan to do with this.”He frowned like he didn't understand what I was s
