All Chapters of Abandoned While Pregnant, Claimed by the Alpha: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

"What are you doing?" His tone dripped with accusation, each word sharp enough to cut. "Why are you buying all this?"My heart raced like it was about to leap out of my throat. My secret, my child—it felt like his piercing gaze might unravel everything. Panic bubbled up inside me, but I couldn't let it show. I forced myself to meet his eyes, curving my lips into a cold, humorless smile."You can see for yourself, can't you?" I gestured to the cart filled with baby clothes. "The orphanage has taken in some newborn pups recently. They need these."I deliberately mentioned the orphanage, the same one Silvia used to parade her so-called "kindness." The words were meant to sting. After all, it had always been me who spearheaded the charity work there.Sure enough, Brian's face darkened. He stepped closer, his towering Alpha presence making it hard for me to breathe. "Grandmother is visiting the estate this weekend," he said bluntly, his tone leaving no room for negotiation or argument. "Th

Ashley's POVThe sharp smell of disinfectant hit my nose, pulling me out of the suffocating darkness. Fragments of memory flashed through my mind like shattered glass—ear-splitting motorcycle roars, the disgusting grin on that rogue werewolf's face, and... the call that got cut off.My baby!A wave of icy fear gripped my chest, far worse than the despair I'd felt during the attack. I snapped my eyes open and instinctively reached for my belly."Whoa, hey! Take it easy, sweetheart!" A warm hand covered mine, and Vicki's worried face came into focus. "Are you okay?""My baby..." My voice came out rough, like scraping sandpaper. "Vicki, is my baby... is he okay?" Hot tears rolled down my face as I clung tightly to her hand."Of course, he's perfectly fine." Vicki's grip on my hand tightened, her voice steady and full of reassurance. "Listen, Ashley, your little pup is tough. The most important thing is, you're both safe now."My body, which had been tense all this time, suddenly gave out

Brian's POVI couldn't stand another second in that damn hospital room.Every single accusation from Vicki's obnoxious friend was like a hammer pounding against my temples. They teamed up, painting me as some cold-hearted jerk.Ridiculous.I did exactly what an Alpha is supposed to do—make the most logical call. Silvia's accident was a fact, and Ashley's so-called plea for help was full of suspicious coincidences. My decision back then was the right one. She needed that wake-up call. If not, I can't promise she'd escape unscathed next time she runs headfirst into trouble. I hoped my words had knocked some sense into her—she had to realize that as Luna, her recklessness wasn't just her problem.I stormed out of the hospital, the icy air biting into my lungs but doing nothing to quench the fire raging inside me. By the time I got back to the Alpha Manor, that agitation was almost unbearable.And then, I saw Silvia.She was sitting in the living room in her wheelchair, a soft cashmere bl

Grandmother let out a sharp snort, cutting off the painfully awkward conversation. She turned to the Alphas, her tone carrying an undeniable authority: "Hebert's disrespect is clear for all to see. If some of these upstart groups don't understand the value of tradition and alliances, perhaps we should remind them what it feels like to be utterly isolated by all the ancient packs. Gentlemen, if you refuse to align with the Bloodmoon Pack, I suspect they'll quickly learn just how important courtesy is."The Alphas exchanged glances, their expressions growing serious. "We'll give your proposal serious consideration, ma'am," one of them finally responded.I raised my glass. Without alliances, an Alpha is just fresh meat for rogues. I'll wait for him to come begging, pleading for my help to fend off the rogues—no matter how strong they think their pack is.Just as we lowered our glasses, a sudden heavy thud echoed from one corner of the banquet hall."Oh my god! What's wrong?"A sharp scre

Hebert's POVThe beeping sound of the disconnected call echoed softly in the quiet office. I set the phone down, my fingertips still carrying the cold, metallic sensation.Ashley.Her name turned over silently on my tongue, carrying a kind of reverence I had never felt for any other she-wolf before. Almost sacred."We're friends."Friends? A safe, non-threatening word. Something that let her lower her guard, something that allowed her to take just the tiniest step toward me.That was fine. Patience has never been an issue for me, especially not when it comes to the one I've set my sights on.My lips curled into the faintest trace of a smile. An art exhibit. Could I consider this a date? Technically, there would be a lot of other people there.But honestly, as long as I got to see her, that was enough for me.Brian. What an absolute idiot. He had the rarest, most flawless diamond in the world and threw her away for some cheap, glittering rock by the roadside. He couldn't see Ashley's w
