All Chapters of Carrying The Alpha's Child: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

The following morning, Bella woke up to the low noise of the hospital machines. Her mind immediately returned to the horrifying attack from yesterday. Lucas was still beside her, sitting in the chair, watching her closely, his face filled with worry.“Hi” She greets staring at him. She's grateful that he is still here “Good morning beautiful “ She feels her face get hot as usual.“You look exhausted” she points out to an amused Lucas who always enjoys seeing her blushLucas hum letting out a yawn.“I need a long sleep, I canceled all my meetings for today” A soft knock on the door startled them both. They stare at the door as a nurse steps in, followed by two police officers.“Miss Shaw?” one of the officers said, his voice gentle but professional. “We will like to ask you a few questions about what happened at the park yesterday, if you’re feeling up to it.”Bella nods, her heart racing. She had replayed the scene over and over in her mind, trying to make sense of it, but each t

“Leave my husband alone.” She couldn’t shake the words the woman had said during the attackIt echoed in her mind, haunting her, twisting her stomach in knots. Who was that woman, and why had she come after her? More troubling than that was the nagging suspicion that Bella couldn’t quite bring herself to voice aloud.Ava.She had never spoken of her concerns about Ava, never told anyone about the sinking feeling in her chest every time she was around her. Bella had always chalked it up to jealousy, to feeling out of place in Lucas’s world. Or the fact she offered her money to abort her child and walk away? Bella hasn't even told Lucas that. Lucas probably won't believe her.And she has just pushed to a desperate woman wanting to get rid of what she feels is threatening her marriage. Bella carries enough guilt already, so she didn't tell Lucas. Right now she is regretting that decision After the attack, that feeling had turned into something darker—fear. The possibility that Ava

Bella snuggled closer to Lucas on the couch, their bodies intertwined in the soft glow of the evening light filtering through the curtains. She rested her head against his chest, listening to the steady rhythm of his heartbeat as his arm draped protectively around her. It felt like their own little bubble, the outside world distant and irrelevant, even if only for these precious moments.“You’re way too comfortable, you know that?” Lucas teased, his fingers gently brushing through her hair. There was a lightness in his tone that made Bella’s heart skip, and she couldn’t help but smile against his chest.“You’re the one who made it so,” she shot back, her voice playful as she tilted her head up to meet his gaze. “If anything, you’re the comfortable one. I’m just along for the ride.”Lucas chuckled, the deep sound vibrating through his chest and into her ear. “Oh, so now you’re blaming me for how cozy this couch is?”“Absolutely,” Bella grinned, her fingers absently tracing patterns ac

Ava StoneAva stood in front of the mirror, carefully applying the last touch of lipstick, her hands steady but her heart racing. Tonight was supposed to be perfect. She had spent hours preparing, selecting the perfect dress—an elegant yet understated black gown that hugged her curves in all the right places. Her hair was perfectly styled.She had gone to great lengths to look beautiful tonight, to remind Lucas of the woman he fell in love with. The woman who should still be his number one priority.Downstairs, the dining room was a vision. The soft glow of candlelight flickered across the table, casting a warm atmosphere over the carefully laid plates and glasses. The scent of Lucas’s favorite meal—steak with a rich, buttery sauce, mashed potatoes, and roasted vegetables…filled the air. Ava had overseen every detail herself, dismissing the staff to make sure everything was exactly how Lucas liked it. This was her night, her chance to take back control.She had sent him a message ea

Lucas and Bella lay intertwined on the couch, playfully nudging and teasing each other. Bella’s fingers traced random patterns on Lucas’s chest as his hand playfully tugged at her hair, the moment light and easy.Their laughter filled the space, a temporary relief from the heaviness that had hung over them for so long. But as the laughter subsided, Lucas’s expression shifted, becoming more serious, almost as if he had been carrying something on his mind that he couldn’t keep bottled up any longer.“Bella…” Lucas’s voice was soft but carried a weight that made Bella pause. Her fingers stilled against his chest, and she glanced up at him, sensing a change in the air. “I’m going to divorce Ava.”For a second, Bella froze. Her heart pounded in her chest, and her mind raced as the words hung in the air between them. There it was—the big, inevitable conversation they’d been dancing around for so long. The big fucking elephant in the room, as Bella had started calling it in her head. She sw
