It has been a few months since my escape from the human world and I have never been so happy. I sat up on my bed as I stared at the wall clock and I was still very early for work.
I yearned out loudly with a wide smile, I tapped my hand twice and the curtains opened in both directions.
This was the kind of life I wanted and nothing else. I could live the rest of my generations in the human realm if it meant being away from Alpha Avalor and Lucas.
I stood up and as usual took a shower before picking out from the thousand dresses I have the perfect one to cover up my pregnancy and I got a very good one.
After making sure I looked excellent and my pregnancy wasn’t obvious, I stepped out of my bedroom as my next job was to make breakfast for Richard as he now always looked forward to the morning dishes I made for him.
“Good morning damsel.” Richard said with a wide smile.
“Good morning, I see you are eager for today’s breakfast.” I said to him before turning on the gas.
“You always find the perfect dress to cover your dress and still look beautiful in it.” Richard praised me as I smiled weakly.
“The presence is really making me weak.” I complained which was very true. I was just unable to explain it to Richard as he wouldn't understand me, but the pregnancy was giving me nightmares and in my nightmares i always see Alpha Avalor searching for me and a baby cry which frightened me to wake up immediately, and after i wakes up i always have a peaceful sleep.
I knew the pregnancy was trying to pull me back to Avalor or make my night very miserable that I would have no choice but to return to Avalor but I had already made up my mind, I won’t go back there…I was now more than satisfied here and was living a peaceful life.
“Melissa concentrate and don’t think much about the pregnancy.” Richard said to me bring me back to reality.
“Thanks.” I replied with a wide smile as I proceeded to prepare the omelet for him.
“Don’t you think it’s time you visit the hospital and register for antenatals?” Richard questioned making me shaky.
I can’t visit a human hospital or it would be obvious that I am a werewolf and Richard might hate me for life and I am not ready to risk that.
“I already registered just didn’t want to tell anyone.” I lied while continuing my dish, although Richard liked a bit skeptical with my words he smiled to my words and turned his attention to the food.
After breakfast, Richard and I left for the office, our usual routine. As we walked through the bustling streets, I couldn't help but feel a sense of contentment. The sun shining down on us, the sounds of laughter and chatter filling the air—it all felt so normal, so human.
But as we entered the office building, my sharp hearing picked up snippets of conversation from my coworkers. They were whispering, claiming that Richard and I were more than just friends. Their words sent a wave of unease through me. I didn't want anyone to suspect the truth about me, especially not Richard. I feared that if he found out I was a werewolf, he would reject me.
I tried to push the thoughts aside and focus on my work. Richard, being the kind and perceptive person he was, noticed my change in demeanor. He pulled me aside and asked if something was bothering me.
I hesitated for a moment, unsure of how much to reveal. But Richard's concern and genuine care for me made me feel safe. So, I decided to confide in him, although not revealing my true nature.
"I overheard some of our coworkers talking earlier," I began, my voice filled with a mix of anxiety and vulnerability. "They were saying that we're more than just friends. It's not true, of course, but it bothered me. I don't want anything to jeopardize our friendship or our professional relationship."
Richard's eyes softened as he listened attentively. He reached out and gently placed his hand on mine, offering comfort. "Melissa, you know how rumors can spread like wildfire in an office setting. But I want you to know that I value our friendship above all else. And I trust you completely. Those rumors mean nothing to me."
His words were like a balm to my worried soul. I felt a weight lift off my shoulders, knowing that Richard accepted me for who I was, even if he didn't know the full extent of it. He saw me as a friend, a capable colleague, and that was enough for now.
In a surprising turn of events, Richard then informed me that he wanted me to take on a new role as the contractor for new businesses that our company was pursuing. He believed in my skills and knew that I would excel in this position. The news both thrilled and intimidated me, but I couldn't help but feel grateful for Richard's unwavering support.
“Thank you so much Richard, I promise not to make you regret always supporting me and making me your first priority.” I said to Richard who smiled.
“You should return to your desk before they get suspicious again and try to bring up another gossip.” Richard said to me before walking away…I stood there with a wide smile as I watched him walk away from me, I wish there was a way I could make it up to Richard but I just couldn’t so I had no choice but to appreciate him continuously.
Just ask I turned around, on of the mean co workers bump into me with great speed as I lost balance and fell to the floor at the same time the jacket I wore buttons suddenly wore off opening my tummy.
I tried to get my self from the hit while few other employees rushed up to the scene, and when I noticed my tummy was now opened for everyone to see I am pregnant, I stood up immediately and covered tha jacket very well but it was still too late for that.Almost all the worker had seen I was pregnant and were all staring at me in surprise and great shock, I knew what they were all thinking as they stared. They must think the baby I am expecting belongs to Richard and that’s why he always favored them.“I am so sorry Lisa, I didn’t know I would hit you and I was also in such great hurry.” She lied but her sinister smile showed it all out too well.“It’s fine, I guess I was just too weak.” I said still trying to act natural but the employees weren’t making it possible as they all continued to stare.“Are you pregnant Melissa.” One of the board members who also ran to our midst when I fell asked and now I felt so embarrassed and frustrated.“Ugh…” I stammered but Lucy didn’t even let me
After the news of my pregnancy spreading through out the whole company, lots of people I knew acted like they ruled the office changed and even the once I was friends with she came careful, there was even a tie I was having lunch alone and I heard them claiming of how carefulThey had to talk to me because they think I would be the next owner of the company since my child was going to be this huge company, but I decided to keep quiet and act like I didn’t hear anything. I concentrated more on my job and juts tried to act cool about all their gossips and words but the baby in me kept pulling me, I always felt weak even when I think I am very strong.Richard also began to notice how weak I was becoming and pleaded with me to go to the hospital but I was still frightened about saying the truth.“You should at least check up on yourself, I always knew pregnant women to be always careful and checking on their health to be sure there was no problem whatsoever but you just take painkillers
“Was that why you don’t have a wife?” I asked Richard out of curiosity.“Yes, it turns out they would all want to try all their best to secure a child for w so they can have access to my property but it doesn’t work out and when they complain to me I have no choice but to tell them the truth that I am infertile.” He said trying his best to hold in the tears I could feel coming from his voice.“They all end up leaving.” I whispered feeling even more bad that I had to ask.“Even if the decide to stay, they only stare for the money it some of them still want a child with me as they find all the wealth meaningless if there isn’t a child to spend it on.” He replied me, I sat up and tapped his shoulder gently in an attempt to cool him down.“No one loves me, all they want is the money that’s why sometimes I always wished I could get the chance to pick how my destiny would go and this time I would throw away all the wealth and stick to having a child of my own. A child I could proudly call m
“Avalor we need to stop this, we need to stop searching in vain.” Sam pleaded with Avalor who was now in a deserted area of the city as he continued to walk around.“She is still out here, I know it!!” Avalor yelled in frustration as he stared at the environment in disgust what could have possibly brought her here?He paced closer to the trail her scent was leaving but he was stunned and also shock to see the scent leaving up the roof.“This is become more absorbed, is she probably walking around in her werewolf form or else there is no way Melissa in her human form would claim that high.” Sam said to Avalor who also starred around in frustration.Sam took a step closer to Avalor, placing a reassuring hand on his shoulder. "Alpha Avalor, we must try to remain calm and think logically," he urged, his voice steady and gentle. "I understand your desperation to find Melissa, but we have been following her scent for three weeks now. It doesn't make sense for her to be in areas that she can
“He followed me!!” Avalor yelled in annoyance, he couldn’t believe Lucas had the guts to follow here to the human world despite him being the reason why a war is brewing up in his pack.“That bastard still outsmarted me despite me giving him a second chance and not killing him!” Avalor yelled and Sam noticed he was slowly getting angry.Avalor's anger flared, his fists clenched tightly as he seethed with frustration. Lucas, the betrayer who had caused so much turmoil in their pack, had somehow managed to follow Avalor into the human world. It was a blatant disregard for the dangers he had unleashed and the potential war that was brewing.Sam quickly stepped closer to Avalor, his voice calm but firm. "Alpha Avalor, I understand your anger, but getting worked up won't solve anything. We need to focus on understanding why Lucas is here and what his intentions are."Avalor took a deep breath, trying to reign in his anger. "How is it possible?" he muttered, his mind racing to find an expla
I drove my car into the parking lot of the company, Richard had just gifted me this car few days ago for being his best employee of the month and I was ready to rock it not caring what anyone was going to say about it.I felt so happy with myself with the things i was slowly achieving as it turned out the clients I was working hard with finally accepted my project so Richard was even more than happy with me as he called me a blessing in disguise to his life.As I stepped into the company all the employees began to greet me respectful as I was now one of the most important people in the building, everything felt so perfect until I saw something on the billboard of the company’s and also on some employees tab, it was my picture.Few days ago Richard had told me he needed me to do some photo shoot just in case of any urgency as I had not filled up my application letter, was this what he wanted to use it for? I rushed up to his office almost immediately and without even knocking I stepped
It was soon nightfall and Melissa was still busy in the office and Richard was still being sad due to the fact that Melissa still took him as a mere friend, Richard felt like no matter what he did Melissa won’t still love as this made him to wonder who the real father of the triplets she was carrying was, if really she hated the father of her unborn children or if she loved him.He paced back and forth in his office unable to decide what to do as he felt like all his feels for Melissa was soon about to be thrown into the trash and being of our use…he knew deep within him that he would hate it if The person Melissa love was to ever return.Finally, Richard made up his mind. He couldn't let Melissa slip away without a fight. He approached her in her office, his expression a mix of determination and vulnerability."Melissa, I've been thinking," he began, his voice filled with sincerity. "I can't bear the thought of you going home alone tonight. Would you consider coming back to my place
Melissa rubbed her hand on her eyes sluggishly to wake her up from the slumber she was fall into due to the late night work she was giving herself.She stared at her computer screen and smiled in victory to how far she had gotten which her speech for the upcoming party as she wasn’t sure she would have the chance to right another due to all her busy schedules, she turned on her phone and went through all her messages including those from Richard making her groan loudly.“Why did you have to fall in love with me Richard, I can’t be able to handle it all.” She whispered to herself before looking around only to notice that everyone had already gone home leaving only her in the building.She arranged her bag and was just about to leave when she heard her name being called by a familiar voice.“Come out, come out wherever you are.” She heard the familiar voice call,“Who could possibly be calling my name this late at night?” Melissa whispered to herself as she stepped out of her office.Me
