All Chapters of Ruin Me, Alpha Step-Daddy : Chapter 141 - Chapter 150

Chapter 142Hazel POVThe first light of dawn painted the Kenyan sky in breathtaking shades of violet, peach, and burning gold. Down below us on the endless savannah, the morning mist was slowly lifting off the golden grass, revealing herds of elephants and zebras moving in slow, majestic harmony across the landscape.And we were floating right above it all.Creed had arranged a private hot air balloon ride, lifting us high up into the quiet, crisp air of the morning. There was no roaring turbine engine here, no mechanical whine—just the occasional, powerful blast of the overhead burner puffing hot air into the massive, brightly colored fabric envelope above us, and the profound, beautiful silence of the open sky.The basket of the balloon was spacious and lined with rich wicker and leather, completely private, carrying only the two of us and an expert pilot who respectfully stayed stationed at the far corner, completely ignoring our existence as he monitored the wind currents.I stoo

Chapter 144Hazel POVThe hot air balloon touched down on the sun-baked earth of the Kenyan bush landing strip with a gentle, floating bump, folding its massive brightly colored fabric envelope slowly against the golden grass. But the physical landing didn't ground the heavy storm of emotions swirling inside my chest. Between the lingering shock of the accidental academy live stream, the vicious comments scrolling across my screen, and the ticking clock of the secret promise I had made to myself, I felt entirely emotionally and physically drained.Creed must have felt the tension rigidifying every muscle in my body. The moment the pilot secured the basket hatch, Creed didn't let me walk. He scooped me up effortlessly into his arms, carrying me straight from the landing zone toward a private, secluded luxury bush lodge nestled against the edge of a volcanic rock ridge, far away from any prying eyes or camp staff.The lodge was a masterpiece of secluded wilderness architecture, built en

Chapter 146Hazel’s Mother POVThe dead tone of the satellite line buzzing in my ear felt like a physical slap across my face.Click.Just like that, the call had been abruptly disconnected. But the echoing, ruined, animalistic groans of the most feared Alpha King in the entire hemisphere—mixed with the shameless, breathless sounds of some absolute, worthless tramp servicing him in the background—were still burning a white-hot trail of humiliation straight through my brain.I lowered the gold-plated receiver of my private jet’s satellite phone, my hands shaking so violently I nearly dropped the heavy instrument onto the Persian carpet of the cabin floor.My chest heaved. My vision swam with a sickening, crimson haze of pure, unadulterated rage."How dare he?" I hissed, my voice cracking into a shrill, venomous shriek that echoed off the mahogany paneling of the private aircraft. "How dare that arrogant, savage brute disrespect me? How dare he hang up in my face while some alleyway bit

Chapter 148Hazel POVThe empty glass hit the tabletop with a sharp, hollow clink.The fiery liquid burned a hot, agonizing trail down my throat, but it was nothing compared to the ice-cold spike of humiliation piercing straight through my chest.“That won't be happening. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves.”His words echoed over and over inside my skull, ringing with the absolute, unyielding authority of an Alpha King who viewed me as a pleasant distraction, a thrilling midnight escape, but never—not in a million years—his equal. Never his true Queen.I had bared my soul to him. I had asked to seal the bond, to step into the light beside him, to trade blood and become his Luna. And he had swatted my hand away as if I were a child asking for the moon.A heavy, suffocating silence settled over the balcony. Creed sat motionless in his lounge chair, his golden eyes narrowing slightly as he watched me set the glass down. He opened his mouth, likely realizing the brutal bluntness of his tone

Chapter 151The deafening roar of the explosion ripped through the interior of the transport bus, sending a shockwave of raw heat, shattering glass, and twisted metal tearing through the aisle.KABOOM!The floor beneath our boots buckled violently upward. The force of the blast blew out every window on the left side of the vehicle in a glittering cascade of shrapnel, filling the cramped cabin with choking black smoke, acrid sulfur, and the terrified, echoing screams of awakening passengers.Through the dense haze, the chaotic sensory overload blurred into a nightmare of sound and fury.Before the blast could swallow us whole, the twin didn't try to pull me down or shield me. With a cold, calculated shove, he threw my weight backward away from him as the center aisle blew apart, cutting off his path to me."Hazel!"Creed’s roar pierced through the ringing in my ears. Through the thick, billowing smoke, I saw him throw himself forward across the expanding chasm of burning metal, his mas
