All Chapters of The Alpha's Hostage Pregnant Bride: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

ZARA POVI shifted back into my human form, and Hana stepped away. I took a deep breath, feeling a bit nervous. Maybe coming here alone wasn't such a good idea. My wolf was still confused and frightened, and I was worried about scaring them. Even though Finna could probably hold me down, I was still a wolf out of control, and it was easy for me to cause trouble without meaning to.I looked at Hana and asked, “Do you know why this bond has disappeared?”The radio in my pants crackled. “Zara,” Hero's voice boomed, filled with anger. “Where the fucking heck are you? I gave you one simple order: take a guard with you. Did you do that? No! You went off alone, and you went to a witch's den!”I looked up at them, feeling a little embarrassed. “He didn't mean it like that,” I explained. “He's just a bit upset.”"A bit," Sabrina repeated slowly, as if savoring the word.I turned down the volume on the radio. “Do you realize that everyone around here can hear what you're saying?” I asked quietl

ZARA POVMy wolf didn't just surrender control. It felt like she was retreating, withdrawing deep within me, as if licking its wounds. Hero's look of disgust had shattered us both. The moment I regained control, a change began to wash over me. My senses heightened, my body aching with a primal energy. I felt the fur begin to sprout, the bones shifting and lengthening. Sabrina silently handed me a pair of jeans and a worn leather jacket, her eyes that of concern and something that might have been pity. No one spoke, the silence was heavy with unspoken words."I wonder if there's a way to fix these bonds," I said, not looking up. "Do you think magic could mend them?” Hana looked over at Sabrina and then back at me. “I would be totally honest with you, I do not have any idea. There isn't much information on wolf magic that's available to witches. I’m not even certain how a witch would have gone about removing this bond to begin with. Your best course of action right now is to find the

HERO POV"Let me get this straight," the Alpha on the computer screen said slowly, his gaze fixed on me. "You're saying Stephen left the mountain some years ago, and is somehow responsible for your siblings' deaths?" Baxter, unlike most wolves I encountered – both on the mountain and elsewhere – kept his hair closely cropped, almost like a soldier. It was clear he took meticulous care of his appearance, shaving it down daily. His expression was skeptical, a flicker of doubt dancing in his eyes, but I could tell he was intrigued by my story.Baxter was Stephen's second-in-command, but I never fully trusted him. Paxton claimed Baxter had always aimed to overthrow Stephen, not out of loyalty or revenge, but simply to seize power. With Stephen now dead and Baxter as the new Alpha, it seemed his plan had succeeded."I know the specific month. At that time, you would have been his second-in-command, right? I'm wondering if you know if Stephen ever left the mountain during that period.” I qu

ZARA POVFinna had definitely been the one who came up with this entire plan, and we weren't exactly friends. But the way she was gripping my arm, so hard it almost hurt, made me wonder if she was trying to be. Even so, I really didn't want to see Hero. The disgusted look he'd given me earlier was still fresh in my mind, a heavy weight in my stomach."You really went to hunt one of those things by yourself?" Paxton exclaimed, his voice echoing loudly."I wasn't alone, my love," Finna said softly. "Eleven other wolves were with me. We worked together.”“In your condition?” He yelled again. "I'm begging you, please stop yelling. I'm pregnant, not dying. I know I'm hormonal and maybe a little crazy right now, but this constant screaming is really upsetting me.” Finna said softly. "You didn't tell me," he said, his voice surprisingly calm.“Because you were in a meeting, remember?” Paxton halted abruptly in front of us, his eyes wide with disbelief. They seemed to bulge out of his head

HERO POVI focused all my attention on Boston. He had recovered from his injuries, but the blood loss had taken a toll. His movements were a bit slower, and he was holding back, likely to avoid hurting anyone. He was only facing one wolf, yet he was clearly in control of the fight.At the beginning of the fight, Walker and Jeremy faced off one-on-one. They seemed evenly matched, trading blows with impressive skill. I wasn't overly concerned, though. Jeremy was a calculated fighter. He enjoyed studying his opponents' moves, so I knew he wouldn't rush into anything. He was happy to let the fight drag on, sizing up Walker's strengths and weaknesses. “Walker is a skilled fighter,” I commented, watching them circle each other."I know he's been battling to survive for a very long time," Paxton said, a hint of pride in his voice. "Now, he's fighting for me. He knows your boy is trying to toy with him.”"He's not toying with him," I corrected him. "He's assessing the situation, sizing him up
