Ran Away Pregnant Came Back Alpha Heiress (Amelia and Damien) novel Chapter 112

**Title: Night Whispers Forgotten Names – Colin Shah 112**
**Chapter 112**

“A-Alpha!” she exclaimed, her voice quivering as she turned to face me. The flush on her cheeks was unmistakable; even her ears had taken on a bright crimson hue, resembling ripe tomatoes ready for harvest.

“Were you being rude to our guests?” I inquired, fully aware of the answer that awaited me.

“Forget it,” Amelia replied, her tone dismissive. “There’s work to be done; let her return to it.”

I hesitated, caught off guard by the authority in her voice. I was not accustomed to taking orders from anyone—least of all Amelia—especially when I was in the midst of defending her honor.

Yet, my feelings for Amelia ran deep, and I found myself lowering my hand, acquiescing to this unexpected request.

“Do not forget Amelia’s kindness in this matter,” I growled, my voice low and menacing. “I would not have shown such mercy.”

As the nurse hurried away, her footsteps echoing against the sterile floor, I turned my attention back to Amelia.

“You let her treat you so callously,” I said, irritation lacing my words. “You stopped me from giving her the punishment she deserves.”

Amelia placed her hands defiantly on her hips, mirroring my annoyance. “You can’t intervene here, Damien.”

“What? Why not? This is my pack, and if they are treating you poorly, it’s my responsibility to—”

“They doubt my abilities, and that won’t change if I have to rely on you for protection,” Amelia stated, her voice steady and unwavering. “This may be your pack, but the hospital is my domain. The only way for me to prove my worth is by showing them that I can handle things myself.”

Her confidence was intoxicating, the way she spoke with such self-assurance. It wasn’t a matter of if she would prove herself, but when. It was the most alluring thing I had witnessed since the last time I had seen her in her natural state.

Gods, she truly was the epitome of the perfect woman.

Even if, at this moment, she was being utterly infuriating.

As an Alpha, my instinct was to protect my mate, and here she was, asking me not to. I wanted to comply with her wishes, to show her how much I cared, but my very nature compelled me to shield her from harm.

What a tangled web we found ourselves in.

But now, I was a stronger, more independent woman. I refused to depend on anyone for the things I could accomplish on my own.

Like today.

I had descended from the lab, determined to find what I hoped would be the final component necessary for the cure.

It was a simple addition, but if it worked, it could resolve the entire issue.

That meant I had no time to engage with Damien and his well-meaning but misguided attempts to help.

Clutching the vial of medicine tightly in my hand, I made my way back toward the stairs and the lab beyond.

“Amelia?” he called after me, his voice laced with concern.

“Wait an hour,” I replied, not looking back. “I might have a cure.”
