All Chapters of Forsaken by the Moongoddess : Chapter 221 - Chapter 230

Abby's POVI was at the restaurant the next day, attending to the few customers inside since it was still morning and the rush hadn’t begun.Ruby came along, saying she wasn’t feeling too well to go to her workplace. Besides, her leave hadn’t even ended yet.Honestly, I didn’t understand her illness pattern these days. The sick today, fine tomorrow she just started. The past two days it had been dysentery, and today again, a headache.When I saw her this morning, she looked like she hadn’t slept at all.Still, she insisted on coming with me. Now she was in my office, not sleeping, just sitting quietly like she was lost in thought.I’d asked if something was wrong, something she wasn’t telling me. But she insisted there wasn’t. So, I let her be. I knew the kids would get her out of that mood soon with their innocent little antics.“Buenas!”An old woman walked in.At second glance, I recognized her. The same old woman from yesterday, the one with the dialect who seemed to like Alex a l

Abby’s POV One thing about father that I knew as well as the back of my hand was that no one dared touch his phone.Everyone in the house knows the rule."Where's my father?" I demanded, my grip tightening around the phone.“Miss Abby,” the maid said. “Alpha Thorn… he fell off the stairs…”“What?" My heart lurched. "How? When? Where is he?" I didn't give her a chance to answer before another question tumbled out.“He's in ICU…”"Oh, benevolent Goddess... have mercy," I whispered hoarsely."What's wrong?" I vaguely heard Hayden ask, but all I could do was nod and shake my head at the same time."I'm catching the next flight," I told the maid before ending the call.The moment the call ended, I moved without thinking, my hands trembling as I searched for my phone again.I needed a flight. I needed to get there.“Abby.” Hayden gently caught my shoulders, stopping me. “Calm down. Just breathe, okay?”I nodded and forced myself to do as he said."Father's badly injured," I managed once I

Abby’s POV The pilot's voice announcing that we'd be landing soon pulled me from my sleep.Hayden was beside me, buried in his tablet.Did this man ever rest?“I received a call from Silverclaw,” he said when he noticed I was awake. “Alpha Thorn has finally been able to talk.”The last trace of sleep vanished from my eyes. I sat upright instantly.“Why didn't you wake me?”A small smile touched his eyes.“It was good news. I didn't want to disturb your sleep,” he said. “They said he asked about you, and I told them to let him know we'd be there soon.”Thank goodness.I let out a slow breath, the tension in my body finally easing. The relief of Father's improvement, combined with the sleep my exhausted body had gotten, made me feel lighter.But I still needed to see him with my own eyes before I could truly feel at ease.When we stepped off the jet, night had already fallen. The cool air brushed against my skin as Hayden's men and cars waited for us nearby.Asher was awake, but Amy wa

Hayden’s POV Derek Hawke had been a thorn in my side even before Abby came into the picture. And the feeling had always been mutual.That was why I couldn't understand why he was suddenly acting this way. Friendly and smiling at me like we'd buried the hatchet.I didn't trust that sudden change.He was definitely up to something.I had no intention of creating tension in Alpha Thorn's house, especially now that he was recovering, so I kept my cool.When Thorn asked us to stay, my first instinct was to refuse politely.But the twins were already excited.Alpha Thorn himself also looked genuinely happy.“That's fine.” Derek simply accepted Thorn's request without hesitation.“Yeah,” I found myself saying too.If I left, Derek would still be here regardless. And I wasn't about to leave Abby and my children under the same roof as him without knowing what he was planning.Accepting to stay didn't mean I'd let my guard down.I'd keep my distance.If he crossed the line around Abby or my ch

Abby’s POV I stood there watching Hayden leave after telling Father he wasn't staying tonight.I couldn't help the pang of disappointment, or maybe pain… or whatever it was I felt at that moment, knowing he wouldn't be here.He hadn't even bothered to ask what I thought before making the decision.He'd followed me here. He'd promised to keep my children safe…Of course they were safe. I knew that.But I couldn't just explain why the thought of spending the night here without him suddenly bothered me so much.I hated admitting it, but it was what it was.Maggie was saying something beside me, but I wasn't listening anymore.My feet were already carrying me toward the entrance. I wanted to confront him, but before I could make it outside, his car was already pulling away.Something tightened in my throat, and I quickly blinked away the tears threatening my eyes.“Oh, Abby. Get hold of yourself,” I muttered quickly, surprised by my own reaction.When I got back inside, Father walked up
