All Chapters of Claimed by My Best Friend's Alpha Dad: Chapter 211 - Chapter 220

Lina's POVAfter leaving the hospital, Adrian received a call from his father Marcus and immediately drove me to the K&S office himself, instead of taking me back to the pack house.I frowned as I realized what he was doing—deliberately keeping me away from whatever was about to happen at the Storm estate."What are you hiding from me?" I asked point-blank.He just smiled mysteriously. "Nothing you need to worry about yet, sweetheart.""Adrian—""Trust me." He pulled me down for a quick kiss. "I'll tell you everything tonight. Promise."I wanted to argue, but something in his expression told me this was important—something he needed to handle on his own, at least initially.Besides, it wasn't like I was completely in the dark about Storm Pack's internal politics.Adrian had been surprisingly open about the tensions between him, his father Marcus, and his mother Victoria.Still, being delibera

Author's POVStorm Estate.The traditional style reception hall—symbol of the Storm family's power center—was thick with tension.Expensive incense burned in ornate holders, but beneath its fragrance hung the acrid scent of an impending war.Gloria Storm, the family matriarch who normally exuded dignified grace, now looked ready to verbally eviscerate her own son.Her fury was magnificent—a tidal wave of righteous indignation that could drown lesser men.Across from her, Victoria Storm sat with impeccable posture, her elegant features composed as she watched her husband get publicly destroyed by his own mother.She was clearly enjoying every second of it."You brainless fool! I'm not dead yet, and you're already trying to destroy this family!" Gloria's voice cracked like a whip."That manipulative woman doesn't have the guts to face me directly, so she sends you to do her dirty work! Who do you think yo

Lina's POVThat night, we made love like it might be the last time.Every touch felt desperate, urgent, tinged with the possibility of goodbye. We both understood what we were risking—understood each other too well to pretend this was just another business trip.I wanted to beg him not to go. Chain him to our bed, hide his passport, do something to keep him safe beside me.But I couldn't. Because he was going for Chloe—his daughter, his heart—and I loved him too much to cage him.So instead, I let him cage me.Adrian bound my wrists above my head with his silk tie. The knot was precise, deliberate—a collar around my hands, a leash I'd willingly wear."Look at you," he murmured, his voice low and reverent as he traced the lines of my bound arms. "So beautiful like this. Spread open. Vulnerable. Mine."I tugged against the restraint, testing it. The silk bit into my skin, a delicious pressure that sent heat pooling between my thighs."Adrian...""Shh." He pressed a finger to my lips, hi

Lina's POVAdrian left before dawn.His departure was handled with military precision—location classified, itinerary locked down so tightly that even Katrina didn't know the specifics.To maintain the illusion, I visited Emberfall Hospital every evening after work, letting outsiders assume I was there caring for my injured husband.What I didn't expect was Dr. Elijah Cross becoming a permanent fixture in my deception.For reasons I couldn't fathom, the renowned surgeon had abandoned his prestigious career in the capital to accept a position as a specialist at Ravenport Memorial.It was a bizarre career move—like watching a Broadway star suddenly decide to perform in community theater.I had my suspicions about his motivation. Mandy's name kept surfacing in conversations, her scent lingering in places Elijah frequented.That evening, I was sitting in Adrian's private hospital room—unnecessarily luxurious, more like a five-star hotel suite than medical accommodation—when Elijah appeared

Adrian's POVBehind my sunglasses, my dark eyes had spotted Lina immediately.I saw everything—her joy, her eagerness, her desperate hope. I watched it all transform into shock, devastation, agony.I couldn't hear what Freya was babbling about beside me. Her affected voice grated against my nerves like nails on a chalkboard.But I had to maintain this charade. Had to appear engaged, attentive."Special exit," I ordered Silas under my breath. "Now."Silas raised one hand. Within seconds, several of my trained security personnel materialized, forming a human wall between Lina and me.I kept walking, each step taking me further from my mate.Lina was pushing forward, nearly reaching me.Then the guards blocked her completely.Her lips moved—calling my name, I knew—but the sound was swallowed by distance and crowd noise.I couldn't hear her. Couldn't acknowledge her.I disappeared into the private corridor, that woman still clinging to my arm like a fucking parasite.---Lina's POVI watc
