Ran Away Pregnant Came Back Alpha Heiress (Amelia and Damien) novel Chapter 25

**Night Whispers Forgotten Names – Colin Shah**
**Chapter 25**

Ethan nodded solemnly, his expression heavy with concern. “I understand, Alpha,” he said, his voice steady but laced with an undercurrent of anxiety. “I share your worry about Luna Amelia. But the pack…” He hesitated, raising his gaze as if summoning the courage to voice what weighed on his mind. “Many are losing patience, and they want us to just move on. Sir… there are whispers now, murmurs that Amelia is dead.”

The very thought of Amelia being gone sent a chill coursing through my veins, a visceral reaction that tightened my chest. I rose from my chair, the wood creaking beneath me as I circled the desk, positioning myself directly in front of Ethan. “I want you to quash those rumors, Beta. We have no evidence to support such a claim. And if anyone—anyone—dares to suggest that we cease our search, you send them to me. Do you understand?” I locked my eyes onto his, waiting for him to meet my gaze before he finally nodded, the weight of my words settling between us.

“The search for your Luna will continue, no matter the cost,” I declared, my voice firm, resolute.

Ethan nodded again, a flicker of determination igniting in his expression. “Yes, Alpha.”

Later that night, sleep eluded me once more, and I found myself wandering into the woods where the last trace of my wife had been discovered. Ethan’s words echoed relentlessly in my mind. Did people truly believe Amelia was dead?

I paced the very ground where the attack had occurred, my heart racing as I searched for any overlooked sign, any lingering trace of her scent that might guide me to her. My most skilled trackers had insisted that while Amelia had likely sustained injuries during the attack, they did not appear life-threatening, and I clung to that hope. I needed to believe it.

It had been over two weeks since Amelia vanished, two weeks since my world had been turned upside down. Two weeks since I learned she was pregnant with our child. How could everything have shifted so drastically in such a brief time?

When my mother and sister approached me with the idea of using Claire as a surrogate to secure an heir, the logic struck me immediately. After all, I had been raised to prioritize the pack’s future, and ensuring its continuity, along with my own position as its leader, was paramount.
