Scarlett supported her stomach with her hand as she slowly walked from her room to the living room of the house the man Felicia sent to pick her up brought her too. The place was big and super nice, Scarlett knew that even though it was not as big as Alex's place, it would cost a lot of money. She just wondered where Felicia met such a human friend.“Hmm” Scarlett sucked in her lips as she slowly lowered herself to the couch.Just a few hours of sitting around and not working, and she was beginning to feel really pregnant. She found herself too lazy to move, she almost did not want to get up from bed, but hungry forced her to. The man cooked every dish she requested, Scarlett was grateful. She was going to call Mandy and ask for them to meet up so that they would also call the moving company, and she could move her stuff, but not today. She did not want to go anywhere or do anything except eat and sleep. She looked at the phone in her hands, willing it with her mind to vibrate, but
Scarlett laughed or tried to, but the sound came out wrong and only served to confirm why the man already knows.“Don't worry, I mean no harm”“That's what the bad guys always say before they do the worst”The man smiled and for some reason Scarlett thought that his smile was not mocking like it was supposed to be but looked sincere in her eyes. She blinked, but it remained so. “I'm not going to hurt you.”“Really?” The man nodded, “If you were not planning to hurt me, then why did you act like Felicia sent you, and why did you bring me here? Where is Felicia's friend? You expect me to believe you won't hurt me, but you lied to me. Who sent you?” She asked at once, knowing that he must be working for someone. She just hoped that the someone wouldn't turn out to be Alex's or Alana's mother in the end.She doubted that it was them. With the little, she had heard about them from Liam and Mandy, she doubted that they were capable of any form of kindness, and kindness was what James had b
Scarlett grabbed her stomach with her right hand as her face contorted in pain. She reached out with her left hand, searching for something to hold on to and the only thing she could grab was Liam's leather jacket.“What's wrong with you?” Liam asked with a frown as he stared down at her. First she peed on herself now, she was screaming in pain and grabbing his jacket. “I… I don't know” Scarlett managed to wheeze out as she slowly lowered herself to the floor, not caring if she was going to be sitting on her pee. Liam grabbed her before she got to the ground, “Is it the baby?” he asked because he could see her holding her stomach. “Yes” Scarlett nodded vigorously amidst her pain, “I think the baby is coming now. It's not supposed to come today!” She was trying not to panic, but she just couldn't. She had been warned all through the duration of her pregnancy that she was not supposed to stress herself, but that's exactly why she had been doing, stressing herself.“Then what do I nee
He couldn't be making any mistakes. Even the nurse caught the scent because she said 'congratulations, you have a baby boy'.Scarlett had his baby and not Alex's? How was that even possible? So she got pregnant from that one night they spent together? Liam could not believe it. He had not been prepared for this moment, and he was feeling so overwhelmed. Liam's heart raced as the truth sank in. The baby was his. The weight of uncertainty and fear lifted off his shoulders, replaced by a rush of overwhelming joy. He couldn't believe it. He hurriedly made his way to the room where she was and found Scarlett seated with the baby in her arms as she whispered sweet things to him. A tiny bundle of happiness, his own flesh and blood. The nurse in the room quickly stepped out to let them have their moment. Liam's heart suddenly swelled with love for both of them. He just stood there, as if lost in his own thoughts, as he watched her rock their son with a happy smile on her face. When was the
Seeing that he was being ignored, Liam cautiously stepped closer to the small bundle in front of him, his eyes fixed on the tiny face that bore an uncanny resemblance to his own. The room was suddenly filled with suffocating silence, and he could feel Scarlett's and Alex's eyes on him. He ignored them like they did him minutes ago as he struggled to comprehend the impossible truth that lay before him.As he leaned in, the scent of his own bloodline overwhelmed his senses, leaving him in a state of shock and disbelief. How could this child, this precious being, be his own flesh and blood? The mere thought seemed like a fantastical dream, a twist of fate that he never could have imagined.The emotions swirling within Liam were a whirlwind of confusion, astonishment, and overwhelming joy. He couldn't tear his gaze away from his son, his mind racing to make sense of the situation. How had this come to be? What series of events had led to this miraculous connection?The shock was etched ac
Liam's heart sank at Scarlett's refusal. He couldn't bear the thought of not being able to hold his baby. “Please, Scarlett, I'm so sorry that I failed to realize that the child is mine. I was just angry and…” Liam pleaded, his voice cracking with emotion. This was the first time in his life he was using please or sorry, and he used them both together and for the same person. He would use the word as many times as possible if it meant that he could be a part of his child's life, if it meant that Scarlett would allow him to hold their child. “I want to be a part of this baby's life, to love and care for him. Please, give me a chance.”Scarlett sulked in a sharp breath, the sleep gone from her eyes. This wasn't how things were supposed to go. She never wanted him to find out about this or be around when she delivered her child because he would surely pick up his bloodline scent from the baby. Now that he had realized the child was his, she was sure there was no way she could get rid of
“Alex, where have you been? Where did you go?” Scarlett asked him, her eyes shining in concern. Liam has mentioned something about how Alex had run off with Alana, but seeing him suddenly appear, seeing that he had come to look for her and was still worried about her, she knew that he never abandoned her. Something must have happened, something that Liam and Mandy refused to tell her. Alex took a deep breath, his voice trembling slightly as he began to recount the unimaginable ordeal he had endured. From being drugged, kidnapped and waking up on an Island where he had to spend a few days without talking to Alana. A few days of enduring Alana's presence was irritating. He would give everything to not return.“Scarlett, it's difficult to put into words. My parents… they had me kidnapped. They drugged and sent me to a remote island with Alana. I was trapped, unable to escape. I was on my way to see you so that we could spend the whole day together when I was blocked on the highway and d
The next day, Scarlett was discharged and ready to go. But Liam didn't want her to go with Alex again. He wanted Scarlett and the baby to stay at the facility with him because he worried about her safety and also because he did not want her and Alex to start anything up. He suspected now that they were not in any romantic relationship and that Alex was just a helper but he was a man and he saw the way Alex looked at Scarlett. Alex was definitely in love with her and he was not going to give him the chance to confess his feelings to Scarlett. He did not know how Scarlett felt about Alex but he did not want to know, he did not care. As Scarlett was getting ready to carry their baby, Liam approached her with a serious expression on his face."Scarlett, I really think you should stay here with me at the werewolf facility. It's safer, and I worry about what could happen if you leave."Scarlett rolled her eyes at him but her eyes were filled with stubbornness and determination. She imme
