"I..." The two red lines tormented her the whole time, but she still couldn't believe it was happening. She didn't want to accept it. "I did a test. It was positive. She looked down; the shame was just too much to handle for her."Take your time," the doctor said. "Look, there's no need to be nervous. Whatever you tell me, I assure you, it's nothing I haven't already heard."Emma nodded her head, but it still took her a few minutes until she gained the courage to tell the truth. It's a freaking doctor, Emma. Get a grip!"I... so... The test came out positive, and... I don't really know who... if you could check how long...... that would be very helpful",she stammered, not even looking at the woman."I see. Okay then. Strip from your waist down, put on the gown, and hop on the chair, will you?"She very much wanted to say no, but she knew she couldn't. So she did as she was told. Praying to all the gods above, she stripped, put the gown on, and sat on the chair, her legs spread wide. T
Emma didn't remember the last time she slept, and when she stood in front of the building, she felt like she was trapped in the middle of a terrible nightmare. She was just about to do the worst, most regrettable thing of her whole life, and she knew that. Emma never judged. It was always one's choice, and she was okay with that. However, she never pictured herself as the one to do it. Abortion just sounded wrong to her. Especially because she was pregnant with the baby of the man she truly loved. It was Lucus baby, and she felt like the worst scumbag for wanting to kill a part of him. She didn't have a choice, though. She walked inside."We are ready, Mrs. Emma."The doctor's voice was calm and friendly. Emma appreciated that the man didn't judge her or make her feel like a monster. She really did. However, it didn't change the fact that she felt like a monster. The little baby didn't deserve it. Emma never thought of herself as a typical, submissive, domestic omega, but she was an o
"Are you going to stand here and waste my time?" Lucus raised his brow. It hurt him to speak this way to Emma, but it was the omega's fault.Emma shifted her weight from one foot to another. She looked Lucus in the eye. Oh, those beautiful eyes—so full of anger but also pain and disappointment. Emma wanted to change that, to turn those negative emotions into happiness. She really hoped that the news would do that. So she took a deep breath and blurted it out."I'm pregnant."Lucus forgot how to breathe. Emma is what? His heart broke into a thousand pieces. Emma was pregnant. Lucus dreamed about it for a very long time. A day when Emma would tell him they were expecting. He was so happy just thinking about it. And now he got the news, but instead of happiness, there was despair and sadness. He was just devastated."Oh, well, congratulations."Emma blinked her eyes. What...?"You... yeah, It was kind of unexpected." She tried to smile, but Lucus very quickly wiped the smile off her face
Back then, Emma thought she was doing the right thing. She was sure she had done the right thing. But now she knew it was complete bullshit. The pregnancy did wonders for her mind. She grew up. She became more mature and definitely more intelligent. The whole situation taught her to first think and then act, in that order. And that was the main reason why she understood how badly she had hurt herself. She was lost, insecure, and afraid, but she had no right to treat her relationship like sh*t. The Alpha needed more time, patience, and understanding! But Emma gave him none. She had many demands but didn't give much in return. She felt like an asshole. Lucus was incredible, loving, and caring. Emma loved him to the moon and back. But it didn't mean anything anymore. Lucus was sick of her, and Emma wasn't surprised. She was sick of herself, too. She missed Lucus, and that was why she followed him to the clubs and watched him. And every time she wanted to approach him, she wanted to expl
She was a bit worried about the upcoming night. Sure, the alpha reassured her that he wouldn't lay a finger on her, but still. Emma wasn't as nave as she used to be. Lucky for her, it turned out that Mile could be trusted. They had to share a bed, but the alpha didn't touch her, didn't say a hurtful word, and on top of that, he even let Emma have the fluffier, thicker blanket. It was nice to be taken care of; however, it didn't feel right. Sure, she was happy that Mile was polite and respected her will, but Emma didn't love him. And she knew she never would. It wasn't Lucus. And her heart belonged only to her alpha.Lucus didn't sleep the whole night. He couldn't believe that he actually agreed to come to James party, but at the same time, he knew he couldn't say no. For the past five months, he has been stressed and worried. He was thinking about Emma all the time, and now that he knew that the Wills wanted to hurt Emma and the baby, he just couldn't ignore it anymore. Emma wasn't hi
"Emma, give him a chance," Allen whispered. She really wanted them to be together again.I... have five minutes," she sighed in defeat."I feel left out," murmured Mile.Mile growled at this annoying dick before she grabbed Mile's wrist."You're going with me. Don't make a scene." She squeezed his wrist hard; it hurt. Mile was delighted."I wouldn't dare!" He shook his head and then turned to the couple. "Take your time, lovebirds. And I mean it." He winked at Emma, and then the doors closed.They were left alone. The air felt so thick that it could be cut with a knife. Emma shifted her weight from one foot to another. She was uncomfortable, scared, and tired, but at the same time, it was just hard standing for so long. Lucus finally noticed that, and he cleared his throat."I... Emma..." He got a bit closer. Emma wanted to take a step back. He didn't. "Please listen to me.""You didn't want to listen," she muttered. She knew she was being a hypocrite. But it just hurt so bad.Lucus s
Emma was waiting anxiously in the living room for her husband, Lucus, to come home from his office. It was their monthly routine to visit her in-laws, Lucus parents, in their home in another city for the weekend.Emma and Lucus were arranged to be married to each other by their parents, despite the Alpha being against this idea at first, but they ended up getting married anyway. Emma knew that they were not in love with each other in the beginning, but for Emma, she was willing to try to make their marriage work, even when she wasn't sure that Lucus had the same intention for their marriage in the past as Emma. After knowing that the baby is his, Lucus didn't say anything, but Emma knows that the Alpha is angry with her.They have been married for one and a half years now, but Emma didn't feel any progress in closeness or intimacy between them. Of course, she didn't count how they had sex for the first time in their marital life just two weeks ago, and that too.Lucus came home too dr
"Emma..." Emma heard Lucus call her when she was going to enter their room after everyone decided to retire for the night."Yes?" Emma turned to Lucus and asked, as expected. She's wondering what Lucus wants to say to her now. Was Lucus aware that Emma was feeling down because of his attitude towards her during their dinner and after that, when they were all sitting and talking together in the living room?Lucus opened the door to their room and held Emma's hand to get her inside with him. Emma could feel how her heart was beating faster just because of a small gesture like this from Lucus. Once they were inside and closed the door, Lucus let go of Emma's hand and turned to see her."Um... There's something I want to discuss with you once we're back home," Lucus started.Emma tilted her head a little bit, curious. "About?" She asked."About our marriage and this relationship." Lucus replied to her with a solemn expression; his eyes never left Emma's face.Emma felt quite taken aback a
