All Chapters of Protecting The Enemy Alpha's Baby: Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

If Spencer found out Ruby was dead, his scouts would descend on this hospital within hours. And if he discovered she had given birth to a child that wasn’t his,a child carrying the faint, undeniable scent of a powerful rival Alpha,he would slaughter her. He would tear this innocent baby apart to erase the stain on his pride."I promised her," I choked out, my inner wolf whining in deep, agonizing sorrow. I reached down and gently scooped the baby into my arms. She was so light, warm against my chest, her tiny fingers twitching against my shirt. "I promised I'd protect you, Maya."The door to the private room clicked open, and I jumped, my heart leaping into my throat. I squeezed Maya tighter, my body instinctively shielding her as my omega instincts flared, screaming at me to run, to hide, to defend.A man in scrub pants and a faded blue t-shirt slid into the room. He wasn't a doctor. He was older, with greasy gray hair, a permanent scowl, and bloodshot eyes that scanned the room with

The air inside The Silver Moon Diner smelled of grease, wet wool, and cheap coffee. It was a shabby, low-ceilinged dive located in a neutral border town on the very edge of the Dern Pack's territory. The perfect place for rogue wolves, runaways, and low-tier betas to blend into the background.I sat in a dark corner booth, my back pressed against the peeling vinyl seat. Beneath my heavy winter coat, Maya was tucked snugly against my chest in a fabric sling. I kept one hand protectively over her back, feeling the slow, comforting rhythm of her breathing. I had just finished feeding her a bottled formula I’d scavenged from a local pharmacy, and thankfully, she was fast asleep, utterly content.My own body, however, was a wreck.The black-market suppressants were still taking a brutal toll. My muscles felt like they were filled with lead, and a lingering, dull headache throbbed behind my eyes. Every time I breathed, the artificial, dull scent of a common Beta coated my throat, a constant

The servants' wing was a stark contrast to the rest of the grand estate. Where the main house featured polished hardwood, plush rugs, and towering stone fireplaces, this corridor was narrow, cold, and smelled of floor wax and old stone.Mrs. Gable stopped in front of a plain wooden door at the very end of the hall, near the back exit of the kitchen."This is yours," she said, unlocking the door and pushing it open. "It's small, but it’s private. You’ll find clean sheets in the wardrobe. The bathroom is shared with the laundry staff, but since we’re short-handed, you’ll mostly have this end of the wing to yourself."I stepped inside, careful not to let the fabric of my coat rustle too loudly. The room was barely larger than a walk-in closet. It held a narrow twin bed, a scarred wooden wardrobe, and a single window that looked out onto the dark, rain-slicked stone of the estate’s rear courtyard. It was cold, damp, and sparse,but to me, it felt like a fortress."Thank you, Mrs. Gable," I

Ruben's POVThe silence in the grand dining hall was thick enough to choke on.I kept my chin tucked down, my gaze glued to the intricate Persian rug beneath my boots, but I could feel the sheer, overwhelming weight of three dominant Alpha stares burning into me. The chemical scent-blockers coursing through my veins made my skin feel hot and tight, but despite the poison dulling my wolf, my instincts were screaming.They were massive. Even without looking them directly in the face, their presence filled every inch of the high-ceilinged room. Sky’s aura was cold, dense, and suffocating,like a avalanche waiting to drop. River’s had a sharp edge that felt like a blade tracing the back of my neck. And Tanner... Tanner radiated raw, unbridled heat, his heavy wolf thrumming just beneath his skin like a live wire.I swallowed hard, the lump in my throat feeling like lead. Don't look up. Keep your shoulders hunched. You are just a Beta. You are invisible."Who are you?" Sky’s voice sliced thr
