Lahat ng Kabanata ng Alpha King’s One Night Mate: Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 20

CHAPTER 13 Damien Blackwood stood motionless in his penthouse office, staring out at the glittering city skyline. The usual calm control he maintained was fracturing. Something was wrong. Deeply wrong. His wolf had been pacing restlessly inside him for hours, a low, constant growl echoing in his chest.“Aria,” he muttered, clenching his fists. He could still feel her and the warmth of her skin, the way her body had fit perfectly against his, the sweet taste of her surrender. But now, there was only silence. She wasn’t answering his calls. Her scent in his memory was fading, replaced by a gnawing sense of dread.The door burst open. Lucas Reed entered, his face grim, tablet in hand.“My Alpha,” Lucas said urgently. “We have a problem.”Damien turned slowly, his golden eyes already beginning to glow with barely contained power. “Speak.”“Aria Johnson has disappeared. Sophia Williams just reported it. They were leaving Starlight Entertainment headquarters when a black van pulled up in

CHAPTER 14Damien Blackwood tore through the city like a force of nature. His black SUV roared down the darkened streets, Lucas in the passenger seat coordinating with the pack through a secure line. Every instinct in Damien’s body screamed that Aria was in danger. His wolf was feral, clawing to be released.“Location confirmed,” Lucas said, eyes on his tablet. “Old warehouse district, 5th and River. Thermal imaging shows multiple heat signatures inside. At least a dozen guards.”Damien’s grip on the steering wheel tightened until the leather cracked. “Isabella’s work. She will pay for this.”They abandoned the vehicle two blocks away. Damien moved on foot, silent and deadly, with Lucas and ten elite Blackwood wolves behind him. They shifted partially claws extended, eyes glowing blending into the shadows.The warehouse loomed ahead, a decaying giant under the moonlight.Damien didn’t wait for a plan. He kicked the side door off its hinges with a single powerful strike.Gunfire erupt

CHAPTER 16Aria Johnson lay motionless in the private hospital room, the sterile white ceiling blurring through her tears. The rhythmic beep of the heart monitor felt like a ticking clock counting down the moments until her world collapsed completely. Two days had passed since the rescue, yet every bruise, every raw mark on her wrists, served as a brutal reminder of how close she had come to death.And now, there was the baby. Damien Blackwood’s child.She placed both hands gently over her stomach, feeling the still-flat surface as if she could somehow shield the tiny life growing inside her. Six weeks. The doctor had been clear that the fetus was small but showing strong signs despite the trauma. But how could she bring a child into this nightmare? A child who would be half werewolf, heir to an Alpha King, born into a world of councils, ancient bloodlines, and enemies who wanted her dead.A soft knock pulled her from her spiraling thoughts. Ethan slipped inside, closing the door quie

CHAPTER 18The salty sea breeze kissed Aria’s face as she stepped off the old wooden ferry onto the dock of Willow Bay. The small coastal town stretched before her like a peaceful painting , colorful cottages lined the narrow streets, fishing boats bobbed gently in the harbor, and the distant sound of waves crashing against the shore promised the peace she desperately needed.This was her new beginning. No more flashing cameras, no more scandals and no more Damien Blackwood.She adjusted the strap of her simple duffel bag and pulled the hood of her oversized sweater lower over her face. Underneath the loose fabric, her hand instinctively rested on her stomach. At nearly nine weeks, the pregnancy was still hidden from the world, but she felt every subtle change in the tenderness, the waves of exhaustion, and the quiet, protective flutter low in her belly that made her heart both ache and swell with fierce love.This is for you, little one, she t

CHAPTER 20The golden light of the setting sun painted the horizon in hues of orange and pink as Aria Johnson , now Elena Rivers walked slowly along the quiet shoreline of Willow Bay. The gentle waves lapped at her bare feet, cool and soothing, but they could not wash away the growing weight she carried both physically and emotionally.Her hand rested instinctively on the prominent swell of her belly. At nearly four months pregnant, hiding the truth was becoming nearly impossible. The once subtle curve had blossomed into a clear, rounded bump that no amount of loose cardigans or oversized dresses could fully conceal anymore. Each day brought new challenges, the persistent lower back pain, the sudden bursts of fatigue that left her needing afternoon naps, and the fierce protective instinct that made her want to wrap herself in a cocoon and never leave the cottage.She paused, looking out at the endless ocean. “You’re making yourself known, little one,” she whispered softly, a small smi
