All Chapters of Pregnant For My Father-in-Law: Chapter 191 - Chapter 200

Ciara’s POVDax let out a long, heavy sigh, the kind that sounded like it had been dragged out of somewhere far deeper than his chest, and for a while, he said nothing. He sat beside me on the bed with one hand still wrapped around mine, his face calm in that terrifying Blackthorne way, but his eyes were not calm at all. They were dark gold, too dark, filled with something colder than anger and heavier than disappointment. I had told him most of it and by the time I finished, the room felt smaller, quieter, like even the walls were afraid of what Dax might do with the truth.“So,” he said at last, his voice dangerously soft, “Jasper really did all that to you while I was away.”I nodded, unable to look away from him now even though every part of me wanted to hide. “Yeah.”His jaw flexed.“At first, I tried to understand him,” I admitted quietly, rubbing my thumb over the edge of the blanket. “I thought maybe he was angry about the pregnancy, and honestly, I couldn’t even fully blam

Ciara’s POVI was awakened the next morning by the sound of my phone buzzing somewhere close to my pillow, but I was still too deep inside sleep to care properly. I only groaned, stretched one lazy hand out from beneath the blanket and tapped the screen without even opening my eyes, hoping whoever was calling would understand the simple message and leave me alone. The room was warm, the bed was too comfortable and for once, my body actually felt like it had managed to rest a little despite everything that had been happening around me. I barely had contacts anyway, maybe four or five people saved properly, and the annoying part was that most of those people were currently in Shadowfen with me, so there was no sensible reason for my phone to be buzzing like someone’s life depended on it. If Dax wanted me, he could walk in. If Inara wanted me, she could scream from whatever room she was in because knowing her, she would rather disturb the entire hallway than simply call. Even Ella wo

Ciara’s POVI was still sitting on the bed with the phone lying beside me like it had personally poisoned the room when the door opened, and Inara walked in with Ella carrying breakfast behind her. The tray smelled warm and expensive, something soft with herbs, fresh bread, fruits and one of those Shadowfen drinks that always looked too beautiful to trust, but the moment Inara saw my face, all the food became irrelevant. Her smile vanished immediately. She crossed the room so fast that Ella almost bumped into her back, and before I could even pretend I was fine, she was already beside the bed, bending toward me with her brows pulled together and her sharp eyes moving over my face like she was searching for wounds.“What happened?”I opened my mouth, but no words came out fast enough.Inara’s gaze narrowed further. “Ciara, don’t even try that innocent face with me. Your eyes are bloodshot red, your hand is shaking and you look like someone just called from hell to ask for directions.”

Ciara’s POVI looked at Asher like he had suddenly grown two heads.Honestly, at that point, I wasn’t even sure why I still expected normal things from any Blackthorne man, but there was something uniquely ridiculous about him strolling into my room with that wicked grin on his face, casually suggesting we go catch spies like he had just invited us to take an afternoon walk. I was still sitting on the bed, emotionally shaken from Father’s call, my body not fully recovered from the cursed ring, my head still heavy from fear and lack of proper peace, and this lunatic was standing there like hunting traitors inside Shadowfen was entertainment prepared specially for breakfast.Inara, on the other hand, did not look horrified enough for my liking.She looked interested and that alone terrified me.She cleared her throat, folded her arms over her chest and looked Asher up and down with the expression she usually wore when something dangerous had become too tempting for her own good. “Alph

Ciara’s POVSeveral sharp daggers shot out from the darkness beyond the door with a vicious whistle, their silver edges flashing under the corridor light as they tore straight toward us. For one horrifying second, I could not move. My mind saw them, counted them, understood that they were coming for us, but my body stayed trapped between panic and disbelief because this was Shadowfen, Dax’s fortress, the place that was supposed to be safer than any human estate, and yet death had just flown out from a hidden room like it had been waiting patiently behind the door for us to be foolish enough to open it. Then Asher moved. Not stepped, dodged, or reacted like a normal person, but moved in a blur of black and crimson so fast the air cracked around him, while Inara threw herself at me at the exact same time, arms locking around my body as she dragged me back and covered my stomach with her own body like the insane woman had decided she could shield me and my pup from flying blades throug
