Semua Bab Pregnant and Missing: The Alpha's Maniac Obsession: Bab 1 - Bab 9

My hand trembled, and the phone almost slipped from my grasp. I forced myself to stay calm and replied, "I haven't had a chance to check yet."Heather shot me a suspicious look and reached for her phone. When I turned to leave, she raised an eyebrow and said, "Why are you acting so weird today?"Before I could answer, her phone buzzed with a new message.Her eyes lit up the second she glanced at the screen."I'm going out for a while," she said abruptly, and hurried to her room.I followed and watched from the doorway as she pulled out a fiery-red slip dress and held it up to the mirror. The neckline plunged low, the back was almost completely bare, and the hem was barely long enough to cover her thighs. My usually well-behaved sister had transformed into someone ready for a nightclub."Heather, are you going on a date?" I couldn't help asking. "Isn't that a bit…"She turned and cut me off with a sharp glare. "Can you stop being so uptight? You get to complete your mate bond

At the gathering, Kingsley's mind was elsewhere. His phone screen lit up repeatedly, but he still hadn't received a reply from me. His brow furrowed as unease crept through him, as though something precious was slipping through his fingers.Heather noticed his mood shift. She swayed closer, trailing her fingers across his chest. "What's wrong, King? Stop worrying about boring stuff and keep me company," she purred.Kingsley reacted like she'd touched a nerve. He shoved her away and stood abruptly, his voice sharp with urgency. "Eliza hasn't been replying to my messages. Something might have happened. I need to go back and check on her."Heather stumbled from the push, nearly falling. She steadied herself, and resentment flashed in her eyes before she schooled her expression into something pitiful."Don't go… I can't bear to see you leave..."But Kingsley didn't even seem to hear her. He grabbed his jacket and rushed out.Kingsley drove like a madman, repeatedly dialing my num

I'd left the Fulmen pack—the place that broke my heart—far behind and settled in the Umbra pack down south. Everything felt foreign as I struggled to adapt to the unfamiliar climate, food, and customs.Whenever the night grew still, and I remembered Heather's smug smile and Kingsley's betrayal, a raw ache gripped my chest. I vowed then to start over here, to build a life that proved I didn't need either of them to thrive.I picked up herbology again after years of letting my skills sit idle. Relying on my hard work and talent, I quickly found a job as a healer at a local infirmary.When my coworkers learned that I was with pup and living alone, they took extra care of me. Their kindness warmed something I thought had gone cold.One day, an emergency patient was brought in with wolfsbane poisoning. His condition was critical, and the blood bank was short on supplies. There was no compatible blood available.Seeing the patient writhing in pain, I stepped forward without hesitation.

I hesitated, worried that this might be too much trouble for Zachary.He seemed to sense my concern and patted the back of my hand gently. "Eliza, don't worry about it. Compared to everything you've done for me, this is nothing," he said.As I looked up and met his warm gaze, a wave of comfort and gratitude welled up inside me.I nodded and said quietly, "Alright, then. Thank you, Zachary."The smile he returned was warm and genuine. "You don't need to thank me."…The next day, I found Kingsley waiting outside my apartment building again. He looked haggard, but a flicker of hope flashed in his eyes when he saw me. He wanted to approach, but seeing Zachary beside me, he could only watch from a distance with frustration written across his face. Determined to find a way to win me back, he even rented a place near my apartment.Every day, he sent gifts and letters—sometimes rare snow fox pelts or my favorite flowers. But every time, I simply returned them. Some wounds couldn't
