Alpha CEO’s baby mama The seed of suspicion.
Rose's POVThe day passed by with me still within my room in spite of the lighter feeling I had. I ate dinner which was brought up to me and fell asleep quickly after that. And as the world turned, the next day came.I woke up from another nightmare panting in the daylight, only to remind myself that it wasn't real.Still recovering from the scare, my jittery gaze wavered till it stopped at my phone.My breaths slowed down, acclimating to reality.That was right. It was afternoon. I had stayed in the room for so long, I had fallen asleep. A deep sleep considering the nightmare that came back for the third time since I arrived.Relief washed over me, yet my gaze never left the phone. Although fully charged, I realized how little I had used it.Especially after the day before. I was missing something. What was I missing?My heart skipped a beat once.Kayla. Jade’ I remembered.I moved quickly, grasping the phone and turning it on.I had switched my phone to airplane mode once I was tir
Alpha CEO’s baby mama Curious about the dankehs.
Rose's POVAdian came knocking half an hour after that call. I let him in without a sound, my mind still jumping hoops through the perturbed matter that still struck through my mind.“Rose?" I jerked up at my name, seeing him with furrowed brows.“Can I call you Rose?” His voice seemed tentative this time.Why was he asking that? It never stopped him before.I nodded.“Why do you look like you're in some mental gymnastics contest and you're running for first place?"The strange comparison made me blink in surprise, my mind going blank as I processed what he said.I shook it off, shaking my head. “It's nothing."He didn't seem to be convinced, making me slightly miffed. I was good at pretending - being a drama minor - but now everything felt incredibly difficult. I was still drained for most of the day after all.Thankfully, he looked away, saving me from my slight embarrassment. “So what movie are we watching today?" He settled on my couch.Gratefulness filled me as my gaze followed h
Alpha CEO’s baby mama Heart over reasonings.
Rose's POVBy the time evening hit, I was more than ready to see Rael's face once again.Once I had enough of the library, Adian had led me all the way back to my room before exiting. Hours had passed already and so I spent most of my time mindlessly scrolling through images and words I couldn't care for.Now in spite of my doubts, I was eager to see Rael again. With that, I was determined to leave the room.I slowly peeked out of my room - tentatively at first, before my confidence rose.I did so easily, stepping out into the hallway to take a deep breath. I was alone. Unlike earlier today, Adian wasn't there to stay with me. Yet as I looked around, my anxiety on moving out on my own slowly eased.There was no dankeh to attack me. I was safe.Tension bleeding away from my shoulders, I moved toward the dining area, where I expected that he was already there.I couldn't forget the slight reaction when I told him that I didn't want to go outside the day before. Thinking about it made m
Alpha CEO’s baby mama You should go.
Rose’s POVI turned back to meet Rael's gaze. Only to stop in my tracks the moment I did.Under the lights, his gaze seemed…molten. It was the most beautiful thing.“Just to clear your mind.” He said, stepping forward. Goosebumps arose the moment his skin brushed against mine, forcing my breath to hitch.Instantly I swallowed through it, hoping that he didn't notice a thing.‘Calm the hell down Rose.’ I spoke to myself. Whatever reactions I was battling with at the moment could be addressed later. Now at this moment I needed to focus.I chuckled lightly, turning back to focus on the flowers “That's not really a good answer you know. My mind is clear enough.” I replied.“Isn't it?” his voice rumbled beside me.“This is the first time you’ve come down since, to meet me no less. It's a good sign."I opened my mouth to talk about going with Adian previously to the library, only to stop in my tracks.If I did tell him, would he be slightly envious again? In the end I sighed.There was no
Alpha CEO’s baby mama The interrogation.
Rael POVOnly the quiet rumble of the car followed me on the drive back to my company.My gaze remained fixated on the road ahead, on the city lights that passed through. None of it mattered when there were more important things to do.I left her whilst she was sleeping. The reminder of the peace on her face, the short sadness I saw earlier when talking about her parents…‘No. Now is not the time to be distracted, Rael.’ I fisted the car tighter to cut away my thoughts.I finally stopped, entering the nearest parking space before coming out.Now, it was time.Every second that passed increased the tension that floated through every part of my body as the elevator moved slowly. I took in deep breaths, stoking the anger that I needed for this.The weight of all I had to do came down in full force. How many times had others reached dead ends? How many times had we come up with nothing? Too many to count.But after Felicity's words, my mind was further drawn into determination.I was goi
Alpha CEO’s baby mama The new plan.
Rael’s POVThe laughs faded with every step I took out. No matter how hard I tried avoiding it, I couldn’t deny the strain.My hands were tightly curled into fists, the strain almost painful, yet I never stopped. My jaw remained as clenched as ever as I stepped back into the quiet place filled with all the scientists fliterring about.The man's last words right before I left echoed in my head.“How long can you last protecting those around you?”It shouldn’t have shaken me the way it did. Had it been months ago that such a threat was passed my way, I would have pushed it away without a second thought.But now… Now, things were different. There was far too much at stake. And there was a chance that whoever did this was aware.“A dead end, I suppose?”Mira stepped into my line of vision, eyes questioning before she stopped in her tracks. She looked me over and I could tell how she saw my tension from the way her expression changed to something more worried.“Rael, are you–“I cut her of
Alpha CEO’s baby mama Where is Rael?
Rose's POVIt had been three days.Three days since I wandered the place with solely Adian as my company. Three days since I wasn't allowed to hear from George or Lily or do so much as go to the other side. Three days since he left that night and hadn't come back since.It wasn't so difficult to count.I sighed against the plush softness of my mattress. I still caught up with Kayla and Jade. As they had promised, they were planning their visit during the weekend, which left two days more. I had made many attempts to clear my mind in anticipation, whether through reading or scrolling through the Internet and occasionally ranting at Adian. No matter how hard I tried, my head always went back to Rael.Our last meeting had been held on a cliffhanger and now three days had passed without hearing from him.Was he in the office? Had he travelled? Was there something wrong?Whether he was several miles away or a state away made no difference. He wasn't there, and I couldn't contact him.His
Alpha CEO’s baby mama What do we have here?
Rose's POVFacing the large building, doubt and worry came into my mind, once again questioning if this was the right thing to do.When I told Adian, he looked surprised, yet there was no other overarching expression or sign that I caught. To my surprise, he agreed to take me here. And now…I swallowed in trepidation, the Albrecht Medicals building backing me imposing. I swallowed thickly at the sight.I had only been here for a total of three times, majority of those times out of simmering rage or fierce determination. There was no need to be shy considering all of that, and yet for the second time since I faced this building, a curling feeling bubbled in my gut.Now I was here for a completely different reason.There was a slim possibility - no, a hauntingly vast possibility - that he wasn't here. If I had to step in, I would also have to talk to them and ask them for him.The thought alone brought heat to my cheeks and that same fluttering feeling I pushed away as I always did. I s

Alpha CEO’s baby mama A new future.
Rose's POVI sighed, looking up at the night sky. The chill of the night sky made me shiver, but I embraced it.The hospital region looked so different from the places I was used to, but the sky always remained the same.I had stayed in the hospital for four days now. Even though in theory there was no longer any need to. Real had insisted on the hospital staff who allowed me to remain here, even without the needs for medical attention.I was grateful for it, and I was sure he knew why I didn't want to step into the mansion again.And so my nights were spent within the place, no dankehs in sight and Real being a constant presence. Despite staying in the hospital, he brought food from the pack house daily which I accepted.Adian visited another time on one occasion, and Rael stood by, acting more like a watchdog. Amidst their jabs I could see what I had been blind to for so long. The easy camaraderie between them. And Rael seemed lighter than I had ever seen him before.Now, four days
Alpha CEO’s baby mama This was home.
Rael's POVTracing her contact and the texts she sent was the hardest part, everything aside from that was easy.Location in hand, I arrived to find him, said ex boyfriend, sipping tea in the cafe waiting for her. I stepped in, facing him.I could tell that he was one to be easily intimidated, proven by how he palmed immediately after he recognized me. In no time, he scrammed out of the cafe, garnering many looks for a moment. I waited in silence for the main reason for my presence.It took almost twenty minutes, before Jade stepped in, eyes searching through the tables. Despite her almost innocent appearance, she was definitely sharp minded. The moment she spotted me, surprise flitted onto her face before morphing into dislike.She indeed loathed me. I had never been close or bothered with any of her friends aside from listening whenever she talked about them, but whether I caught it or not wouldn't have mattered either way if not for this.I partly expected her to walk away or try t
Alpha CEO’s baby mama No more secrets.
Rose's POV Rael left shortly after bringing me breakfast, leaving me with a kiss on my forehead and whispered promises.Full and completely awake, there was no way I was going back to bed anytime soon. With nothing left to do, I walked around the large hospital room I had been given, admiring the skyline view in peace. I tried not to think too much about Jade and whatever measures Real was going to take, only hoping that both of them were alright. Instead, I looked down at my belly.A baby was growing in there and I never noticed. Slowly rubbing it, I smiled to myself at Rael's past words. Indeed, this baby was resilient to have gone past the alcohol and malnourishment, only to remain healthy.Strong, but that didn't mean I was going to let anyone harm it. “I don't know what will happen between your father and I, but I promise you I'll protect you the best I can. Even if it costs me.” Shutting my eyes, I repeated it several times, keeping it etched in my bones.I would do my best t
Alpha CEO’s baby mama I will take care of it.
Rose's POVWhen I woke up, the sun was up and it was far warmer than before. Yawning, I looked around as it eased upon me.The chair Rael was on was completely empty. I properly looked around at the surroundings.The place was large, filled with couches and chairs with a dining setting right beside them. Save hospital beds, it looked more like a hotel.This definitely wasn't cheap.I let out a sigh, shaking my head. There was nothing I could do about it now.Even with his absence, I could still hear his words.He loved me.There were still plenty of things to deal with, especially with my pregnancy on the way. But instead, I laid back on the mattress, closing my eyes. At this moment, I was content.I spent my time taking deep breaths, lost in the blank zen state when a sudden vibration pulled me out.Blinking, I looked around for the source, only to see my phone in surprise.‘He'd taken it too, I reasoned. I looked at the screen in surprise. Jade was calling.I gasped, recalling how I
Alpha CEO’s baby mama A conclusion.
Rose's POVI squinted in the face of the blinding lights, taking time to adjust as I slowly returned to reality.Beeping filled my ears, closer than ever. The sting of disinfectant woke me up even further.‘Where was I?’ I faintly wondered as I drifted out of dreamland. I tried sitting up when suddenly a pair of warm hands circled me.“Wait." All vestiges of sleep erased at his voice.His words and our unfinished discussion before my fainting still rang clearly in my mind.‘Of course,’ I thought. He was the one who no doubt brought me here.I remained silent while he helped me sit up, avoiding eye contact. Tingles grew from his penetrating stare, but I ignored it.“Where am I?" I asked, breaking the tense silence.“You're in the hospital." He said, confirming my thoughts.A slight twinge of relief filled me that I wasn't back in the mansion, no matter how much my heart lurched for it. This was more neutral ground.Those thoughts went away once I remembered why I was in the hospital.
Alpha CEO’s baby mama To protect her.
Rael's POVPanic grew in my throat the moment I caught her in my arms. She was out cold, her breaths shallow.Damn it all. I hadn't thought about her condition. The fact that she hadn't been eating for the past few days.None of that will do. I had to take her to the hospital.Hefting her body up, I moved against the fallen bodies in the hallway. That would be taken care of later.I had rushed in, feeling the warning instincts. She wouldn't forgive me if I left her friend there.‘She may not forgive you at all.’ Ny hands tightened on her at the thought.Rose's friend was knocked out cold on the floor, but otherwise, she was safe. No doubt she would wake up in a matter of hours.Laying Rose on the couch, I picked Jade up, tucking her into her bedroom before leaving just as quickly.Picking her up again, my gaze was fixated on her face, how peaceful she looked even now.Without another word, I sped back to my car.Driving into the hospital gave the feeling of deja vu, but I ignored it i
Alpha CEO’s baby mama A fainting spell.
Rose's POVI almost couldn't believe it, but it was undeniable.The man I was hurt by, whom I thought wouldn't rescue me, was there. His eyes treaded across them.“Let her go.” He growled, body poised in a way that made him seem larger than life.The man that held me and his henchman were both stuck in place. I was too stricken to try struggling against them, which wouldn't have amounted to anything considering the still painful grip they had on me.In a flash, everything changed.The whiplash was painful as I was pulled away, the man holding me running as fast as he could out of the hallway. The movement sent a wave of dizziness through me.A loud growl, and everything holding me disappeared. I was light, flying freely in the air for a moment before I collided harshly with the ground. I whimpered as my injured arm burned before I slumped back to the floor.A choked noise and the sound of flesh colliding were all I heard before everything fell silent.Harsh breaths came up behind me,
Alpha CEO’s baby mama More attacks.
Rose's POV I followed Jade through the door, shutting it behind me.I had sneaked out of the mansion, thankfully taking advantage of the lack of presence. Even with fear creeping from me, I walked until my legs hurt, moving until I reached the asphalt streets I had told Jade to wait for me in. Jade had taken a taxi all the way to the far end of the place where I met her. I looked away from her gaze, knowing the poor sight I looked like at the moment. It all went away after I entered the taxi, watching the mansion move farther and farther away. It was past midnight when we finally arrived in the city and even further when we got to her place.The timing was unexpected, but it all made sense when the destination wasn't the same one I knew.This apartment was new and different. From the minimal tones and the slightly more expensive look, it was a complete change from her former space throughout college.I looked around in awe. “I didn't know you had a new place,” I said, looking around
Alpha CEO’s baby mama Gone.
Rael's POV.I took in the cool air, letting the heat simmer down.Finally, the anticipated meeting with the Alpha Council had taken place and it was anticlimactic.I had welcomed them, pushing away all my worries easier than expected. After giving them the information and discoveries gathered, thanks to Mira, they were equally ecstatic.That was my chance to state my sole condition to continue this project.Let Rose go.“There is no need for us to use an innocent human as bait for the Dankehs anymore.” I had tried reasoning with them.The backlash was expected, but I physically had to hold myself back from losing control in the face of their disparaging comments.‘A mere human?’Rose was far more than that. She was more than anything else I had seen. I, who had taken advantage of her naivety and kindness, had tried seeing her in the same way in the beginning and failed miserably. None of them would understand though. They just saw her as a tool to gain victory over the threat plaguin
