All Chapters of The Alpha's Hostage Pregnant Bride: Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

ZARA POVDarkness. That's all there was. A thick, heavy darkness that pressed in on me from all sides. My mouth felt like it was stuffed with dry cotton, and a dull, throbbing ache pulsed behind my eyes. I tried to move, to stretch, but my limbs wouldn't respond. A cold dread washed over me as I realized my hands were bound tightly behind my back, and my ankles were similarly restrained. A rough cloth was jammed against my mouth, making it hard to breathe, and something tight and unfamiliar was wrapped around my neck.The ringing in my ears slowly faded, replaced by a low, rumbling sound. It took a moment to register: an engine. And the tires... they weren't on smooth pavement. They crunched and slid over something rough, maybe gravel, or even dirt. A sudden jolt sent a sharp pain through my head as it slammed against something hard above me. I finally understood. I was in a car, or some kind of vehicle, but I was hidden, trapped.Then, like a flood, the memories crashed back. Weston

ZARA POV"I promise, I'll rip your eyes out if you lay those filthy hands on me. I swear by the moon," I said, my voice shaking with anger. Weston just laughed. He thought it was funny. I felt so trapped and annoyed about everything."Try all you want," Weston said, his voice cold. "That collar tied around you, guess what? It stops your wolf. And you're tied up. You can't stop me." He touched me, his hand squeezing my breast. It hurt. I tried to move away, but he just laughed again. His eyes looked hungry, like he wanted to eat me. "See? You can't do anything.”I growled and pulled at the ropes, trying to get free. It was no use. I tried to feel my wolf, but she was gone. It was like she wasn't there at all. I felt empty, like a part of me was missing. I didn't want to believe she had left me. I felt so alone."Just relax," Weston said, touching my face softly. "Be good, and I won't have to tie you up again.""Take the collar off," I said, my voice low.His smile turned mean. "No way.

HERO POVHe moved his head slowly, like he was thinking hard. "Our leader... he's not here right now. You'll have to deal with me instead."Something clicked in my head. It was obvious, really. "So, Weston sent you," I said, taking a step closer.Xavier looked surprised, but he stood straight and nodded. "You've gone too far, Alpha King.""Where is he?" I asked, my voice low and angry."That's not your concern right now," Xavier replied."Oh, it's very much my concern," I growled. "When I find him, he's going to lose his Alpha position."Xavier looked a little shocked for a moment, then his face went blank. "That won't happen," he said, his voice strong. "And I think you should just give up being Alpha King. Let Weston take over. Leave quietly, and nobody gets hurt. You don't belong here. We don't want you here."Ace tilted his head and laughed, a loud, mocking laugh. "That's funny. A lot of people seem to like him here.”Xavier's face turned red. "Just step down, you... you..." He se

ZARA POVMy head throbbed. Everything was blurry and dark. I tried to move, but my body felt heavy, like I was wrapped in thick blankets. A low growl echoed in the darkness, followed by a sharp yelp. Then, a loud BANG! Something heavy slammed against the wall, making the whole room shake."Ugh," I groaned, my eyes slowly opening. It was pitch black. I blinked, trying to see anything. Where was I? What was happening?Then, the memories rushed back, like a cold wave crashing over me. I remembered what Weston had said to me, how he had tied me to the bed, the drugs, the fear. I was in danger. Big danger. Weston had taken me, and he was going to use me.My body felt weird, like it was fighting against something. The drug he gave me was wearing off, but I still felt weak. I could hear more growls and snarls, and the constant THUMP, THUMP, THUMP of something hitting the walls. The room shook again, harder this time.Even though I couldn't reach my wolf, I could still smell. My nose was work

HERO POV"Are you alright?" I asked again, my voice low. I looked at her wrists, at the marks left by the cuffs, and at the rough collar around her neck. A wave of anger washed over me, a hot, burning feeling. Even though Weston was gone, I wanted to hurt him again, just for touching her like this. How could anyone do this to her?She blinked slowly, her eyes looking tired. "Yeah," she whispered, "I'm... I'm okay." She paused, her eyes fluttering. "But... I think I'm going to faint.”And then, just like that, she went limp in my arms. I felt a surge of panic. "Zara!" I called, but she didn't respond. I held her close, carefully lifting her into my arms. She was so light.I walked out of the cabin, the wooden floor creaking under my boots. The night air was cool, and the moon was bright, casting long shadows. I held Zara tightly, my heart pounding.Suddenly, I heard a soft rustling sound from the trees nearby. It was a subtle sound, like leaves moving, but my senses were sharp. I stopp
