Ran Away Pregnant Came Back Alpha Heiress Novel

Chapter 464 +25 Bonus Chapter 464 "Wait," Claire said, speaking up for the first time since we had entered. Honestly, I had mostly forgotten all about her. She wasn't really that important here. Certainly not as much as she wanted to be. "We really need to talk. A lot has happened and we should plan what to do next." Richard looked at her and while there was no maliciousness in his eyes, his voice was filled with sternness." Young lady, I have been fighting this war for a very long time, and I can tell you, with certainty, that these things are best discussed with clear heads.

You've had a long day, and you all need rest. Be assured, we will discuss things soon enough." Claire's face twisted like it did when she was annoyed. She wasn't used be being told no by anyone. I imagined it must have been extra difficult for her to have to take direction from a rogue - Rogue King or not. Yet, she held her tongue, maybe realizing she was way out of her depth here. Richard turned from her, disregarding her as quickly as he had acknowledged her, returning his attention to me. "Come, Sienna.

I want to learn everything there is to know about you." Any remaining negative emotions disappeared and I beamed, feeling important for the first time in maybe forever. And I was so happy already. With this alone, the rogues had my full loyalty. After all, I was their princess now. Amelia's POV After Benedict delivered his judgement, he went off to talk to Martin nearby. I turned to Damien, hoping to offer him comfort, but I could tell with a single glance that he was seething inside. I could understand why. This judgement must have been a blow to his pride as an Alpha.

And since the Alpha King's authority ranked higher than even Damien's, there was no way he could stand against it or appeal it. He simply had to endure. I didn't think there was a single thing I could say in this moment that would offer comfort. In fact, it seemed like he wanted to be alone. "I should get back to Jake," I said. "Maybe there is something I can do to help. I can at least give them another pair of eyes to help with the research." I started to release Damien's grip but he held on even more tightly. "No," he said. Raising a brow, I looked at him in confusion.

Next to the fury in his eyes was shame, but as he looked back at me all of it centralized into a single focused determination. There was a no-nonsense intensity there that told me he would not be leaving any room for discussion. "You will be returning home," he said. "I'm not sure if I'll ever let you leave again." Rage started to fill me. I tried to be understanding, knowing what Damien was going through. I had just 1/2 Chapter 464 +25 Bonus witnessed Alpha King Benedict deliver his judgement, which couldn't have been easy for Damien to accept.

But, Damien seemed to be taking out his frustration on me. Forcing me to stay home like I was under house- arrest was already something we had worked through and compromised on. For him to bring this up again, to be even more imposing this time, felt like a fresh betrayal, even though the argument was so old. It was like he was taking rescinding on his original agreement, removing all the progress that we made to be there for one another, supporting each other. I was back to being a liability, protected like an infant or some kind of work of art, ever trapped behind glass.

In the past, I might have tried to smooth things over with Damien, asking if we could just put a pin on this conversation and return to it later when our emotions weren't riding so high. In this moment, however, I was likely just as angry as Damien was, and therefore, couldn't think clearly enough to come up with as rational a thought as taking time to think about this. I just knew that I didn't want to be trapped again. Ever. Those feelings came out in a rush. Shaking my head, I backed away from him. "No," I said firmly. 2/2 + 26 Bonus Joseph King
