chapter 151

I couldn't mention the pregnancy. Sarah had been clear; if Killian found out in the middle of his paranoia, everything would be chaos.“Enough already, miss!” the nurse pushed my shoulders against the pillow. “If you keep getting worked up this way, I will have to sedate you completely. You are not going anywhere.”“When... when the fuck can I leave this goddamn room?” I demanded of her, breathing with difficulty.“That depends exclusively on the results of your last hematology exam” the woman responded, releasing my wrist. “If the intracranial pressure remains stable and the fever doesn't return, the administrative discharge will be granted to you perhaps this very night. Until then, you are going to stay still on that stretcher.”The nurse gave me a final look of warning, turned on her heels and left the room.I let out a long sigh, letting my head fall against the pillow while closing my eyes with frustration.This goddamn helplessness was killing me inside.I needed to see Ivy. I

I jumped down from the stretcher with a gasp of pure pain escaping my lips.I felt how my entire body ached, especially my head, which throbbed with the force of a drill behind my temples.I advanced two steps, invading her personal space, and shouted directly in her face:“Who the fuck do you think you are to measure my bond?! Of course I am Caleb's mate!”The doctor mocked me again, putting her glasses back on with an exasperating calmness.“Keep shouting if you want, girl, but I don't need to believe you,” she snapped, crossing her arms over her white coat. “The reality is that you are not getting past this hallway. There are three armed guards guarding the Beta's trauma operating room. Furthermore, even if you could bypass security, the waiting room is saturated. There are a thousand pure-caste female wolves out there waiting for the medical report to see Caleb.”I turned sharply toward the woman.“What the shit are

“We don't know, Leyla... she simply is not in the hospital,” Sarah sobbed, covering her mouth. “The east hallway cameras suffered a digital blackout right after Killian left the trauma room. Nobody saw her leave. The intravenous lines were ripped out and there was blood on the sheets.”I shook my head frantically, denying reality.“Ivy wouldn't leave alone, Sarah! That is a fucking lie!” I shouted at her. “She knows what she carries inside! She would never endanger her baby by leaving alone in that state of weakness!”“I KNOW, GODDAMN IT!! I KNOW PERFECTLY WELL, LEYLA!!” Sarah shouted, losing control of her nerves. “I know she loves that pup more than her own life! That's why I am terrified!”“Then someone helped her leave... or someone took her by force,” I suggested.I was about to say something else, ready to demand from Sarah the keys to the monitoring center to check the perimeters myself, when another male figure appeared.He was a Lycan male, of tall stature, proud bearing, and

chapter 154

The silence of my she-wolf made me lose all hope.I let out a breath of freezing air, and let myself fall halfway onto the dirt ground.Already lying halfway on the ground, face down on the leaf litter, I began to crawl with my elbows and nails, scratching the black earth toward the base of a huge exposed root of a tree.I managed to lean my back against the rough wood of the trunk, raising my trembling hands toward the curvature of my abdomen.I began to caress my belly with the tips of my dirty fingers, feeling the warm vibration that kept beating beneath my skin.“Please... please, little pup…” I told my pup in an agonizing whisper “Don't drain all of mom's energy... Mom is fucking exhausted... I need you to resist... but don't leave me empty now...”In that same second, as if the hybrid creature had heard my plea through the blood link, the sharp pain began to vanish all at once.The pressure in my hips decreased, allowing me to let out a long exhalation.A slight smile drew on my

Upon hearing that, I couldn't help but let out a loud, mocking laugh.I leaned back on the mattress. I stared fixedly at the old woman's wrinkled face, but before the panic could freeze me, a loud, mocking laugh escaped my throat.“My grandmother?” I blurted out, sweeping the luxurious room with a wild gaze. “That is completely impossible. My father himself swore to me that it was only the two of us in this goddamn world. I have no family. I have no one.”I was about to force myself out of bed, ready to push the woman in the black robe aside, when my eyes locked again onto the small picture frame on the nightstand.“Why...? Why is Alpha Blackwood's photo here?” I asked, my finger pointing at the portrait. “What does my professor have to do with this place?!”The elderly woman remained in complete silence for a moment.Her eyes narrowed, fixed on my pale face.With a gentle movement, she approached the edge of the bed, sat on the brink of the mattress, and before I could retract my fin

chapter 156

POV: CALEB STONER A sharp ringing drilled into my eardrums before I could move a single muscle.I opened my eyes slowly, feeling my eyelids glued shut.The first thing I saw was the white ceiling of the trauma operating room and, right next to my stretcher, Sarah’s tired face.Her medical uniform was wrinkled, but a genuine smile of relief tugged at her features as soon as she saw me react.“Oh, finally... Welcome back to the world of the living, Beta Stoner,” Sarah said, giving me a subtle pat on my uninjured shoulder.“Leyla...” my voice came out broken, scraping against my parched vocal cords. “Where... where is Leyla, Sarah? Did Richards do something to her?”I tried to prop my elbows up to sit up, but a whip of burning pain in my lower back forced me to let out a dull groan.“She’s fine, Caleb. Calm down,” Sarah adjusted the medical folder under her arm. “She woke up two days ago. In fact, the first thing she did upon opening her eyes was desperately ask for you. She hasn't stop
