All Chapters of The Alpha's Hostage Pregnant Bride: Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

HERO POVThe hug finally loosened, and I stepped back, my vision still a little blurry from the tears that wanted to spill. Kira and Alvira, their faces streaked with dampness, looked at me like I was a ghost they'd conjured."Hero," Kira breathed, her voice thick with emotion. She reached out, her fingers tracing the line of my jaw. "I... I never thought we'd see you again. Never.""Goodness," she added, a soft smile playing on her lips. "You look more and more like Dad every day. It's... it's uncanny.”I swallowed, my throat tight. "And you," I said, my gaze shifting towards her direction, "you look just like Mom too. I... I'm so sorry.""Sorry?" Kira echoed, her brow furrowing."Yeah," I mumbled, my hands fidgeting. "I... I thought you were dead. I still remember. I saw... I thought I saw you in the pool, all that blood but turns out it was someone else... and Alvira, I thought you'd just left, joined another pack after I told you... after I told you it couldn't work." I looked dow

ZARA POV"Oh my goodness... oh my goodness..." I whispered, my breath hitching in my throat. It felt like my rib cage was tightened tightly, and my heart was a frantic bird trying to escape it cage. My hands shook so violently, I could barely clench them. Panic attack. Here we go. A full-blown, rip-roaring, terror-inducing panic attack.I’d bolted from that conference room like a startled rabbit. I didn’t even think, I just ran. I had to get away, put as much distance as humanly possible between myself and... everything that had just happened in there. Every step was a desperate attempt to outrun the feeling of being trapped, suffocated.My lungs burned, my legs ached, but I didn't dare stop. Finally, when I felt like I was about to collapse, I did. And that’s when I realized someone was behind me.I spun around, chest heaving, to see Kristina. She stopped a few feet away, her brow furrowed. Meanwhile, I was gasping like a fish out of water, practically ready to drop to my knees. And

ZARA POVMy breath hitched as his hand, rough and calloused, finally left my arm. It felt like a brand, a mark I couldn't scrub away. He just stood there, staring at me, a weird, triumphant glint in his eyes. Like he'd just hit the jackpot, won some impossible prize. My own hands, meanwhile, were shaking so badly I could barely keep them still."I knew that little bitch, Sonja, was useless and dumb," he said, his voice thick with a nasty kind of satisfaction. "And you, princess, you couldn't hide forever, could you?”My head was spinning. Everything was blurry, like I was looking through a dirty window. He was here. He was really here. And I was completely, utterly trapped. He started pulling me, dragging me out of the jeep, and I stumbled, my legs feeling like they were made of jelly.I tried to focus, to make him disappear, but he just kept pulling, his grip like iron. "This must be a dream... you can't be here, you are not real. I must be hallucinating." I breathed out.He snorted,

HERO POV“She's gone," I muttered, the words thick with disbelief. "Just... gone?"Kristina was already moving, her eyes scanning the room, then the surroundings of the entire room. "Maybe she shifted? Trying to find a hidden spot to crumble in, right?"I watched her, a knot of dread tightening in my stomach. Zara wouldn't just leave, would she? Not without a word. Not after everything.Kristina returned, her brow furrowed, but she held something out to me. A folded piece of paper. "She left this," Kristina said softly. "For you.”My hands trembled as I took it. It felt light, almost weightless, yet it carried the weight of everything I feared. I unfolded the paper, my eyes scanning the delicate handwriting."What does it say?" Kristina asked, her voice gentle.I took a deep breath, trying to steady myself, and read aloud.(To HERO)*I know I've caused you nothing but pain, and for that, I'm truly sorry. If you're reading this, it means you found my note. And Kristina probably told yo

ZARA POV"Water!" I gasped. My chest felt like it was on fire, and my throat was so dry it hurt to swallow. But I couldn't stop. Not now. If I even dared to look back, I knew Paul would be there. And Paul... he was strong. So strong, he could've led his own pack if he wanted.I had no idea how long I'd been running. It felt like forever. All that mattered was getting away. I knew my legs were about to give out. And if Paul caught me... well, I wouldn't stand a chance.Finally! A stream. It wasn't deep, only up to my knees, but it was perfect. I stumbled in the cool water, a welcome relief. "Okay," I whispered to myself, "think." I turned and started walking upstream. The water would help hide my scent. That was good."I need to shift," I mumbled. In my wolf form, I'd have a much better chance against Paul. But shifting took time. If he caught me halfway through... that would be the end of me.I shook my head, trying to clear my thoughts because I knew I had messed up. "No use blaming
