All Chapters of Alpha Conrad: Claiming The Wrong Bride: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

Rain battered the windshield as Conrad sat alone in the underground parking garage.The SUV was off.No music. No lights. Nothing.Just darkness and silence pressing in from every side.He’d been sitting there for nearly twenty minutes without moving. Not thinking either. At some point, grief had stopped feeling sharp and settled into something heavier. Duller. A constant ache buried deep in his chest.Even Raven was quiet now.Weak. Exhausted.Conrad leaned forward against the steering wheel and closed his eyes.Then something brushed against his hand.He frowned and looked down.A thin silver bracelet lay beside the passenger seat.Conrad froze.His breath caught as he slowly picked it up with trembling fingers.The moment he touched it, her scent hit him.Nadia.Faint, but still there.And suddenly he remembered one of the days he was driving her home from work.Mocking her terrible music taste while she laughed at him.The way she’d fallen asleep in this exact seat halfway through

Rain hammered the eastern docks as Nelson shoved clothes into a duffel bag with trembling hands.Something was wrong.Terribly wrong.The motel owner had been watching him too closely. Two unfamiliar men showed up at the diner downstairs asking questions. And thirty minutes ago, a black SUV parked across the street again.Nelson cursed under his breath.His burner phone buzzed.Danielle.He answered instantly.“Where’s my money?”Danielle sounded furious already.“You idiot, why do you keep calling me?”“Because I need to disappear.”“Then disappear!”Nelson pulled the curtain back just enough to peek outside.“They’re watching me.”Silence.Then Danielle’s voice sharpened.“What do you mean watching you?”“I mean somebody’s hunting me!”His heart pounded harder with every second.Everything about this situation felt cursed now.Danielle lowered her voice.“You need to calm down.”“Don’t tell me to calm down!”Nelson grabbed the whiskey bottle beside him and drank straight from it.“I

The press conference hall buzzed with anticipation.Executives whispered among themselves while reporters adjusted cameras. Council elders sat near the front looking tense but hopeful.Danielle sat beside Conrad trying to appear calm despite the tension twisting in her stomach.Conrad stood next to her dressed entirely in black.Cold. Still. Expressionless.Like a king carved from stone.He hadn’t looked at Danielle once since entering the hall.Valentine stood near the back watching carefully.Something felt off.Conrad had been too quiet all morning.And silence from him usually meant danger.The council leader stepped toward the microphone first.“We appreciate everyone gathering here today during this difficult time for the Bradley family and the Edward.”Conrad’s jaw tightened slightly at the word difficult.The elder continued carefully.“Despite recent tragedy, the stability of the territory remains our highest priority.”Danielle subtly straightened beside Conrad.Then finally

The television glowed softly inside Nadia’s room.Conrad Junior slept peacefully against her chest after finally tiring himself out from crying most of the evening.Nadia gently rocked him while absentmindedly watching the late-night news coverage.She wasn’t supposed to be watching Irongard broadcasts anymore.Kesta had warned her repeatedly.“It will only hurt you.”Maybe he was right.Because the second Conrad appeared on the screen…Her chest tightened painfully.“Tonight marks the official pre-wedding celebration of Alpha Conrad Bradley and Danielle Edwards ahead of next week’s highly anticipated union…”Cameras flashed brightly across the television screen.Danielle stepped out first wearing a silver gown and a practiced smile.Then Conrad emerged beside her.And Nadia immediately stopped breathing.He had lost a lot of weight.The sharpness in his face had become more severe.The dark circles beneath his eyes looked worse too.Even through the screen…He looked exhausted.Broke

Danielle stood outside Conrad’s office clutching the pregnancy reports tightly in her trembling hands.Inside, Conrad was laughing.Not warmly.Coldly.The sound sent a chill through her instantly.She had been standing there for nearly two minutes listening to him talk with Valentine.“And the Edwards accounts?”“Another two collapsed this morning.”“Good.”Her stomach twisted.Good?He sounded satisfied. Like he was enjoying watching her family fall apart.Valentine lowered his voice.“There’s concern from the council regarding Danielle’s condition.”Conrad scoffed softly.“She’ll survive.”Danielle tightened her grip on the papers.No concern.No affection.Nothing.Since announcing the pregnancy, Conrad hadn’t acted like an expectant father once.No excitement.Sometimes he barely looked at her.Fear crept deeper into her chest.What if he knows?The office door suddenly opened.Danielle straightened immediately.Valentine stepped out first and paused when he saw her.“Miss Daniel
