All Chapters of Pregnant For My Father-in-Law: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Ciara’s POVI woke up with a sigh again, rubbing my belly that was now a bit visible under my loose nightshirt. The small bump pressed against my palm, warm and real, a quiet reminder that time was moving even when everything else felt stuck. I’d had dreams of Dax every night lately, not just the hot, desperate ones where his body covered mine and his knot locked us together until I couldn’t think. No, these were softer and gentler. Him just holding me. His arms around me from behind, chin on my shoulder, breath steady against my neck. No words and no promises, just safety. Something solid to hold onto when the world kept trying to pull me under.I guess what I can’t have in reality becomes a dream.It was almost Christmas.The thought felt strange, like it belonged to someone else’s life. Outside the window, snow covered the grounds in thick white layers, sparkling under the weak winter sun.Somewhere out there people were decorating trees, baking cookies, laughing with family but

Ciara’s POVWhen the last box was taped shut, the sales girls were staring at me like I’d grown a second head, I finally stopped. The mall was quieter now, the frenzy of my shopping spree leaving an echo of rustling bags and beeping registers. I turned to the head sales girl, the one who’d been trailing me the longest, her blonde ponytail slightly frazzled, eyes still wide with something between awe and fear.“Let me tell you again,” I said quietly, voice steady despite the ache in my legs. “Make sure it all goes where it’s supposed to go. No bullshit. No keeping it for yourselves. Real shelters. Real families. Real kids. Understand?”She nodded fast, her hands twisting the edge of her uniform. “Yes, ma’am.”I smiled small, tired, but real. “Good.”Then I took a deep breath, straightened my shoulders, and added, “Now take me where I can get things for myself. The most expensive stuff you’ve got. And call all your girls to follow me, I mean all the female workers in this building. I d

Dax’s POVI paced the private hospital corridor like a caged animal, my boots thudding hard against the polished tile, each step echoing louder than the last. My wolf was losing his mind inside me, he was snarling, clawing, terrified and furious all at once. I couldn’t tell if the fear was for the pup or for Ciara. Maybe both. Maybe it didn’t even matter anymore. All I knew was that those two couldn’t be harmed. They COULDN’T. The thought alone made my vision tint red, fangs itching to drop, claws flexing against my palms until blood welled up in crescent marks.The corridor smelled sterile, antiseptic, bleach, fear but underneath it all was her scent. It was faint, weak and bloody, there was too much blood. My wolf howled inside my skull, raw and broken, demanding I tear the door down and get to her. I wanted to. Goddess, I wanted to. But Dr. Voss had covered the observation window with some kind of blackout film, something designed to block even my sight. He’d expected me to pe

Dax’s POV“Alpha… Please calm down. I’ve stabilized the mother and child. You can… see them in a few minutes.”Dr. Voss stressed every word like he was talking someone off a ledge. His voice shook just enough for me to hear it, even through the pounding in my ears. He was still face flat to the floor where my aura had slammed him, his hands flat and breathing shallow. The whole corridor looked like a battlefield after a bomb:guards sprawled, nurses curled up, Alex flat on his stomach with his phone still clutched in his fist. Even the lights overhead flickered once, like the building itself felt the pressure.I gritted my teeth so hard I tasted blood.My wolf was literally going berserk inside me, snarling, clawing, howling for blood, for vengeance, and for the throat of whoever dared touch what was mine. Trying to grasp control when the beast was this close to breaking free was always tough. Tonight it felt impossible. Every heartbeat slammed against my ribs and every breath came

Ciara’s POV“Jasper… What the hell is going on?” Dax asked, and before anyone could even brace for whatever answer was coming, Jasper shoved the bleeding woman forward and she stumbled badly, her bare feet sliding on the polished hospital floor before she crashed down hard, her cries breaking into ugly sobs that sounded more animal than human. Blood smeared beneath her palms as she tried to crawl away, and I found myself shrinking backward on the bed without even realizing I was moving, my spine pressing into the headboard while my eyes stayed locked on the nightmare unfolding in front of me.Jasper looked like he had been dragged through hell. His shirt was torn, his sleeve soaked in dark with blood, and his breathing was heavy enough to make anyone believe he had fought his way back from death itself. For one stupid second, if I didn’t know him the way I did now, I might have believed it too but I knew this man was putting on an act!Then he suddenly dropped to his knees, the mov
