Ran Away Pregnant Came Back Alpha Heiress (Amelia and Damien) novel Chapter 37

**Night Whispers Forgotten Names – Colin Shah**
**Chapter 37**

In that charged moment, a heavy silence enveloped the room, as if time itself had paused to absorb the shock of Sienna’s betrayal. The air was thick with disbelief, and the weight of her actions hung heavily over Amelia and her family, who had only ever wanted to shield her from harm.

Jake stepped forward, positioning himself protectively in front of his sister, a silent sentinel against the storm that was brewing. His parents flanked him, their expressions a mix of determination and concern. It was abundantly clear that they were resolute in excluding Sienna from the unfolding drama.

“You will not be taking Amelia from this household,” Lillian stated with unwavering conviction, her voice ringing out like a clarion call. “She is a welcome guest here, and you—you’re nothing but a bully!” Her eyes flashed with defiance, and the strength of her words cut through the tension like a knife.

Martin, sensing the fire igniting within his wife, placed a steadying hand on her shoulder. He knew all too well the ferocity that lay beneath her calm exterior when provoked. “Lillian, let’s not escalate this,” he murmured, trying to bring her back from the brink of confrontation.

“My mother is absolutely right,” Jake interjected, his voice firm and unwavering. “You have no right to waltz in here and start making demands as if this were your territory.”

Damien let out an exasperated huff, confusion clouding his thoughts. Why were they so adamant about refusing to hand over his wife? Did they not understand the stakes involved?

“Why are you all protecting her like this?” he exclaimed, incredulity lacing his tone. “She’s a stranger to you! I am an Alpha, and I am demanding the return of a member of my pack. What are you risking by standing against me?”

Martin’s response was as cold as the winter winds that howled outside. Only those who truly knew him could recognize the depths of his simmering anger; when he was incensed, he didn’t erupt like a volcano—he became an unyielding glacier.

“Because in your pack, your wife endured a life filled with humiliation and rejection. She faced pain in countless forms every single day. And instead of shielding her from that torment, you’re prepared to elevate another woman to the role of your Luna, raising her child as your heir.”

His words struck a chord, resonating with a truth that Damien had been unwilling to acknowledge. The reality of Amelia’s suffering under his leadership weighed heavily on his conscience, yet he had only agreed to the surrogate plan in the name of what was best for the pack.

“Alpha Martin,” he began, desperation creeping into his voice, “you know how crucial it is to secure an heir. I had to ensure the future of the pack and secure my position on the Alpha Council.”
