All Chapters of The Alpha Who Stole My Christmas: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

LISAAt first, I thought I had heard wrong.When neither Zayne nor I said anything, the doctor repeated himself, his voice careful but strong. That was when reality sank in. My fingers trembled as I counted my monthly cycle in my head, day by day, until it hit me, I was a few days late.My eyes darted between the doctor and Zayne, hoping someone would tell me this was a mistake.“She will get rid of it tomorrow,” Zayne said coldly. “Make arrangements for that. Pills or anything safe, and not a word of this to my daughter or anyone else. I don’t want people thinking the worst of her.”I shook my head vigorously, tears streaming down my face. Even in shock, I knew I couldn’t make such a hasty decision. The doctor quietly excused himself, and the moment he was gone, I ran out.The air felt suffocating, heavy in my lungs as I struggled to breathe. “You shouldn’t be crying,” Zayne said behind me. “You’ll need all the energy tomorrow.”His voice was so cold, so detached, like this wasn’t h

LISAEmily didn’t do justice to her description, not even close. The woman standing beside Zayne was a goddess, one of those rare beauties that left your mouth hanging open before you even realized it. Her presence alone commanded attention.Her legs were straight like they had been carved with precision, perfectly aligned with her height and body. Everything about her was balanced, effortless. Her hair flowed freely down her back, thick and glossy, the kind of hair people paid thousands to replicate. I caught myself admiring its length and texture before I could stop myself.And her skin, God, her skin. If anyone ever thought mine was spotless, then they had clearly never seen hers. It glowed naturally, flawless, untouched by time or stress. She looked unreal, like someone who had stepped out of a magazine cover.I glanced at Emily and realized she was just as stunned. She stood frozen, eyes wide, star-struck, not even blinking. For a moment, she looked like a fan meeting her idol.F

BEELucas was still holding the hair strands longer than I expected. His silence was unsettling.“I think you’ve got it all wrong this time,” I said carefully. “She doesn’t have a wolf. She’s human, your granddaughter’s best friend. Though, there’s a scent on her I can’t quite place.”He didn’t respond immediately. Instead, he lifted the strands closer and inhaled deeply.Then everything happened too fast.He let out a low growl before his body expanded violently. His muscles tore and rebuilt themselves as he shifted into the most gigantic wolf I had ever seen. His howl was very loud, echoing through the woods. It took every ounce of strength in me not to run.I had never seen his wolf before. Never, not once, had he shifted in my presence in all of these yearsMy knees gave way, and I nearly collapsed as he shifted back, naked and breathing heavily, just in time.When he turned to look at me, his eyes were darker, feral, dangerous, and stripped of all restraint. Lucas had always be

LISAShit!Did I scream that out loud?The question echoed in my head the moment Zayne asked me about the dream. My heart skipped, and for a split second, panic crawled up my spine. I knew immediately that I had to pretend; pretend I had no idea what he was talking about. I couldn’t afford for him to think I was losing my mind.“Wolf?” I said lightly, forcing out a small laugh. “Why would I dream about something like that? That’s strange.”I tried to sound casual, convincing, and normal.Thankfully, he seemed to accept it immediately.“Okay,” he said. “You’ve been sleeping for a long time. I just wanted to check on you. I’ll be going now.”He turned to leave.“Wait.”He stopped mid-step and looked back at me.The words slipped out before I could stop them. “I’m scared of staying alone.”The silence that followed was thick and awkward. I instantly regretted saying it. My face burned with embarrassment as I closed my eyes, my head bowed, fingers fumbling together nervously.I expected h

BEEI waited in silence while Lucas worked on the charm, my fingers digging into my palms. The blood droplet I brought him sat in a small vial on the table, glowing faintly under the candlelight.Emily’s blood hadn’t been easy to get. Her wolf was strong, stronger than I expected, and if I weren’t a black witch, I would have been exposed the moment I pricked her skin. I told myself it was worth the risk. Everything I had done was for one purpose.Lucas finally lifted the vial, sniffed it once, then frowned.“I was clear,” he said calmly. “I said the blood of a powerful Alpha’s clan. This scent is faint.”“You’re wrong,” I snapped, stepping forward. “That blood is from Zee’s unborn grandchild. Name one Alpha stronger than him.”He laughed. Not loud, just a low, amused sound that made my skin crawl.I stared at him, confused, angry, and panicked.“You think strength passes so simply?” he asked. “The child carried more of the father’s line. Weak lineage. Potential, yes, but not dominance
