Semua Bab Alpha's Regret, Begging My Convict Luna Back: Bab 241 - Bab 250

Nathan's POVCollins moved fast as he always did.Within the hour, he came back with a report. He had the hospital’s surveillance footage pulled up. The screen showed Aria entering the women’s restroom but she never came out.Nurses searched every stall, every corner. She was not found.Unease spread through my veins, sharp and biting. Collins’ voice grew tense as he continued his report, highlighting a suspicious figure, a janitor pushing a cart shortly after Aria entered.He was a man…tall, broad and had long hair obscuring the face.I decided to check it out myself, maybe I would pick up on a detail Collins missed. I stared at the monitor, replaying the footage again and again, slowing it down frame by frame. No matter how many times I watched, the face refused to reveal itself.“Get all the hospital footage,” I ordered coldly. “Save every clip containing this person. Track their last direction, lock down exits, now!.”My people surged into motion. The hospital corridors filled wit

Aria’s POVThe sound of footsteps dragged me back from the edge of unconsciousness.My blindfold had been removed. My eyelids felt like they weighed a thousand pounds, but instinct forced them open just enough for me to sense movement. Shadows multiplied across the concrete floor as people flooded into the abandoned auto shop. My wolf whimpered weakly inside me, wounded and shackled, urging me to curl inward.So I did.I pressed myself into the corner like a trapped animal, every nerve stretched thin. Hours, maybe days of torment had left my senses raw. Every echo, every scrape of boots against cement made my heart seize in terror.“Francis agreed to the demands,” one man said hesitantly. “Are you sure you want to keep going?”I recognized the sleazy voice. Even without seeing him, his scent made my stomach churn.“What did they say?” the gravelly voice replied with a cruel laugh. “They said no physical violence.”He clapped his hands together, the sharp sound slicing through the air.

Nathan’s POVI held Lana carefully, every movement measured and restrained.If she had truly pointed out the culprit, I would tear them apart with my own hands.My wolf lifted its head, alert and snarling. The so-called janitor captured on the hospital’s surveillance footage hadn’t been there by coincidence. He had been planted, watching Aria, waiting. Which meant they knew she would be there…or worse, that someone had orchestrated Lana’s illness from the very beginning.That thought made my blood turn to ice.The trail led us to the abandoned auto repair shop. The janitor’s car confirmed Aria’s location, yet when we stormed the place, he was nowhere among those captured.This wasn’t a single man’s crime.It was a web.I looked down at Lana again, my grip instinctively tightening, not enough to hurt her, never that, but enough to ground myself. She stared back at me with wide, unguarded eyes, her tiny fingers clutching my sleeve as if she sensed the storm raging inside me.“Lana,” I s

Nathan's POVThe impact of the slap snapped my head to the side.For a heartbeat, the world rang before my wolf surged, claws raking the inside of my skin. Heat flared across my cheek, and I tasted blood where my teeth had cut into my lip. The mark burned, but it was nothing compared to the shock ripping through my chest.The nurse who had just arrived froze in the doorway. I could hear her pulse hammering, smell her fear blooming thick in the air.She saw it.She just witnessed Aria slap me.Under the weight of my presence, she chose the only path left to her.“I—I’ll clean this up!” she blurted, her eyes darting away.She rushed in, her hands shaking as she gathered the shattered glass into a tray. Water pooled on the floor, ignored as she fled like prey sensing a predator’s focus. The door shut softly behind her.Silence fell.I straightened slowly, every muscle in my body taut, veins standing out at my temples as my wolf slammed against its restraints. Aria’s cold, distant eyes me

Nathan's POVThere was silence. The person on the other end of the line, as if sensing something was amiss didn't speak.“Who is this?” I growled.At my words, the person hung up immediately.My gaze locked onto the nanny as I tossed her aside. Sweat broke out across her forehead, her hands shaking. My wolf bared its teeth, sensing a rat scrambling for cover.She forced a flattering, sycophantic smile. “It must have been a prank call,” she said, rubbing her palms together nervously. “Is there… something you need from me, Alpha Nathan?”My eyes flicked to her face. Before I could speak, Collins stepped forward, tablet in hand. With a swipe, he turned the screen toward her.A frozen image bloomed on the display. It was an image of her meeting a shadowy figure near the side gate, their heads bent close together.“Do you recognize this person?” Collins asked calmly.The nanny glanced at the screen and then quickly looked away, shaking her head too fast.“Yes, I do.”Collins shot me a look
