All Chapters of Now, The Alpha Wants Me Back : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

AUTHOR’S POVMorning sunlight eventually crept through the plastic blinds of the recovery room.Juliet lay quietly in the hospital bed, watching little Miu sleep in a clear plastic bassinet beside her. The door clicked open.Ryan walked into the room. He looked exhausted, wearing a fresh shirt and dark trousers. He approached the bassinet slowly, staring down at the sleeping infant. For a brief second, his amber eyes softened."She is beautiful," Ryan murmured, his voice surprisingly calm."She has your nose," Juliet offered, hoping the sight of their daughter would wash away the madness of the previous night.Turning his gaze away from the baby, Ryan looked at Juliet. The brief moment of warmth vanished. His face hardened into a mask of cold, unyielding suspicion."I will have the pack doctors run a blood test," Ryan stated flatly.Juliet’s heart dropped into her stomach. "Ryan... please. She is yours.""I do not trust you," he replied, crossing his arms over his chest. "You are a ma

GODRIC Silas waited for me at the end of the stone corridor. My Gamma stood outside an interrogation cell, his arms crossed over his armored chest.“She is inside, Alpha,” Silas reported, keeping his voice low. “Dr. Thorne took blood samples. I ran a silver test on her skin. We checked the old battle scars on her shoulder. Her scent is pure.”“You are certain?” Taking a slow breath, my beast demanded caution. We had just burned a creature that wore her exact face. Trust did not come easily anymore.“It is the real Morgana,” Silas confirmed, stepping aside to unlock the door.Walking into the small, windowless room, the air smelled of damp earth and raw fear. A small fire crackled in the corner hearth, offering the only source of light. Sitting on a wooden bench near the flames was a ghost.Morgana looked nothing like the proud, arrogant warlord who helped me build this empire decades ago. She wore an oversized woolen tunic provided by my medics. Her silver-blonde hair hung in dirty,

GODRIC“You have exactly ten seconds to explain why my guards are locked inside your packhouse, or I will turn your entire territory into a graveyard.”Gripping the heavy black receiver of the war room telephone, my knuckles turned stark white. Blood roared in my ears. Just minutes ago, my elite detail mind-linked me with a frantic report. Ryan triggered a lockdown. He trapped Larissa behind thick iron doors, outnumbering my men five to one.Static crackled over the line. Ryan let out a dark, arrogant laugh.“She is not leaving, Godric,” Ryan answered. His voice shook slightly, betraying the liquid courage fueling his false bravado. “She is carrying my heir. You think I am just going to let you walk away with my bloodline? She stays right here until the baby is born. I will take what is mine.”“You are a dead man walking,” I promised, keeping my tone deadly quiet. “Release her right now, and I will only sever your head. Keep her, and I will slaughter every man, woman, and child who we

AUTHOR’S POV“You poisoned her.”Daniel stared from his narrow hospital bed. His good eye widened in pure, unfiltered horror. The steady beep of the heart monitor next to him seemed to pause in the freezing silence of the room. He pushed himself up against the pillows, ignoring the sharp groan of his broken ribs.Juliet wiped the tears from her pale cheeks. She took a step back, suddenly realizing the massive mistake she just made by confessing her sins.“You drove the Luna out of her own home,” Daniel continued, his voice rough and laced with disgust. “You used dark herbs to ruin her womb. You destroyed Alpha Ryan’s marriage just to steal his crown.”A cold, defensive wall slammed down over Juliet’s emotions. The guilt evaporated in a single second. Her back straightened, and her brown eyes narrowed into sharp, dangerous slits. She looked around the empty hospital room to ensure the door was shut tight before stepping right up to the edge of the mattress.“Do not look at me like that

AUTHOR’S POV“You think a few tears and a premature baby will make me forget what I saw?” Ryan spat, his amber eyes burning with a manic, feral light.Standing on the opposite side of the Alpha’s private office, Daniel swayed on his feet. The Beta looked like a walking corpse. Thick white bandages bound his cracked ribs, and a brutal purple bruise swallowed his left eye. Despite the agonizing pain radiating through his chest with every shallow breath, Daniel kept his good eye fixed firmly on the floorboards. He refused to challenge the furious stare boring into his skull.Pacing behind his massive mahogany desk, Ryan clenched his fists until his knuckles turned stark white.“Juliet claims she was just upset,” Ryan continued, his voice dropping into a lethal, paranoid whisper. “She claims you were only offering a shoulder to cry on in that corridor. But I am not an idiot, Daniel. I saw the way she looked at you. I saw her wrap her arms around your neck. You think you can steal my mate
