All Chapters of Pregnant For My Father-in-Law: Chapter 161 - Chapter 170

Ciara’s POVThe next morning, I woke up alone and for some reason, that hurt more than everything else that had happened yesterday.The second my eyes opened and I saw the empty space beside me, a heavy wave of sadness crashed straight into my chest so suddenly it almost stole my breath. The sheets beside me were cold, untouched, and Dax’s scent was already fading from the bed, and somehow that made the silence inside the room feel even bigger.He still wasn’t back after taking Asher away yesterday and Ayla tried to claw my face off while screaming that I was destroying their family.After everything, I sat in this room practically shaking apart wondering what the hell was wrong with everyone here.Why wasn’t he back?That question kept repeating in my head over and over until it started hurting because this wasn’t like Dax at all. If anything, Dax was overprotective to an almost ridiculous level. Even when he was angry or exhausted or drowning in responsibilities, he still checked on

Ciara’s POVThe second I ran, I knew something was horribly wrong.At first it just felt fast, too fast, like adrenaline had suddenly exploded through my body and pushed everything into overdrive. But then the hallway started blurring around me so violently that panic clawed up my throat instantly because my feet weren’t slowing down.They were getting faster.“Oh my God...!”My breath came out shaky and sharp as I flew around another corner so quickly the servants nearby screamed and flattened themselves against the walls before I crashed into them.What the fuck?!I tried stopping, like really stopping.I dug my heels against the polished floor, reached for the wall, grabbed at anything I could but my body kept surging forward like something invisible was dragging me from inside my own skin.Panic exploded fully after that.“DAX!”My own voice sounded terrified and distant because the wind was rushing past my ears so loudly now that it drowned everything else out.The villa blurred

Ciara’s POVI was panicking so badly my entire body had started shaking.My thoughts were crashing into each other violently while I stared at Inara through the laptop screen, and the fear sitting inside my chest felt so heavy it physically hurt to breathe.But somehow Inara still looked calmer than me.It was not relaxed exactly because I could see the tension in her shoulders and the gun strapped to her side and the way her eyes kept flickering toward whatever noises were happening outside her hideout, but even then she still looked more in control than I did.Meanwhile I felt seconds away from a breakdown.“Inara…” My voice cracked badly. “Please stop talking like that. What do you mean my father wants you dead?”Inara sighed tiredly and rubbed her forehead before snapping at me softly.“Ciara, calm down first so I can explain properly because if you keep spiraling like this, you’ll miss everything I’m saying.”“I AM CALM!”“You’re one second away from passing out.”Okay.Fair poin

Ciara’s POV I was losing my mind. At this point there was honestly no prettier way to explain it because I had been pacing around the room for hours now, checking my phone every few seconds like a mentally unstable detective waiting for evidence of survival. There was nothing, no calls, messages or updates and the silence was killing me slowly. I stopped near the window again and looked outside toward the endless dark forests surrounding Shadowfen while my chest tightened painfully. God. I was scared, really scared. Dax had gone to the human realm hours ago with armed wolves and enough violence in his eyes to terrify an entire country, and even though I knew how powerful he was and how everybody treated him like some untouchable nightmare dressed in expensive suits and Alpha Current, I still couldn’t stop imagining worst-case scenarios. Because this was my mess, my family, my father and somehow the people I loved kept getting dragged into danger because of me. I wrapp

Ciara’s POVThe room was quiet except for the low sound of medical machines and the soft rhythmic beeping surrounding Inara’s bed.I sat beside her with both hands wrapped tightly around hers while exhaustion settled heavily into my bones, but even then, I couldn’t bring myself to leave.Not yet.The healers already assured me she was stable and out of danger, and one of them even promised she would wake up soon because the healing chambers had already repaired most of the internal damage, but still seeing her lying there unconscious hurt me deeply.She was too pale and still and it felt wrong seeing Inara quiet.She had always been loud, dramatic, sarcastic and chaotic, so watching her resting beneath white blankets with tubes and healing Current glowing faintly around her almost made the room feel unfamiliar.My throat tightened painfully as I stared at her face.Even injured, she still looked ridiculously beautiful.At some point she'd dyed parts of her hair again and the dark red
