Fated Love

Adrian's Pov

It was obvious that the woman in front of me didn't recognize me as her one-night stand.

There was no way I was ever going to forget her after that special night we shared.

During this past month, my wolf has been wrestling and I was worse.

Ever since that time we spent together her scent has been implanted in my nostrils so there was no way I was ever going to miss it.

The moment I moved closer to her she shifted back uncomfortably.

Her body was shaken up with fear.

She looked even leaner than the last time I saw her.

"Who are you people? what do you want?" She said as tears began to roll down her eyes.

I felt something burn in my heart when I saw those tears.

My curiosity perked up as I wondered what could have happened that forced her into this state.

She looked too fragile and sickly not to mention the scent of fresh wounds I was getting from her.

"Who hurt you?" I groaned staring at her with an intense gaze.

"Please let me go I promise not to ever show up in your faces ever again." She begged.

"I know I crossed the boundary but please spare my life."

The woman I met some time ago was bold and daring but I suspected that it was the alcohol.

Seeing her in this state was painful to me.

"Please." She muttered softly before she collapsed.

I quickly held her before she fell to the ground.

I watched as she gave soft breaths in my arms.

I ordered my men and I took her back to my pack.

I quickly sent for the best healer so her wounds will be treated immediately.

The healer attended to her wounds while my concern was getting the best out of me because she wasn't waking up.

"Why isn't she waking up," I asked the healer as I paced about the room.

"Alpha, your presence is disturbing my work." The healer said with a straight face.

I groaned as my blood was boiling with fire.

The only thing stopping me from ripping her throat was that she was one of the elders and the most skillful healer we had in the pack.

I exhaled taking a deep breath to keep my wolf calm.

"I'll be outside then." I forced a smile before I stepped out of the room.

I slammed the door behind me with a growl then I leaned on the side of the door frame.

I prayed she was okay because I didn't know what I was going to do if anything ever happened to her.

After waiting for what felt like an eternity I heard the door crank up and I jumped on my feet.

"How is she?" I asked hurriedly.

The woman was hesitating to speak with her gaze fixed to the ground.

I could tell she had an internal conflict in deciding what she wanted to say.

"What is it? Is there something wrong with her?" I asked again.

Overwhelmed with impatience I grabbed the healer by her shoulders.

"If you do not speak this instant I'm going to rip your head off," I warned.

"The omega is fine, I've managed to treat her wounds. She will be fine after more treatment." The healer said calmly.

"Is there anything else I'm supposed to know?" I asked.

"Alpha, the woman is pregnant with a child that carries your blood."  The healer said.

I was dumbfounded because I was not expecting such news ever in my life.

"Are you sure? Are you a hundred percent certain." I asked again, unsure if I should believe her words.

"This was why I didn't want to say anything. I don't even know how it is possible because you and Lady Claire have been trying for months and nothing ." The healer said.

I had a one-night stand with her and it was unprotected so it wasn't supposed to come as a shocker but it was for me.

Over the years I've had many women that were my chosen mate but none have been able to provide an heir for me.

In my pack, the only way my chosen mate would be recognized as the Luna of the pack was if she produced an heir.

My current chosen mate is Claire.

She is the daughter of one of the elders.

This arrangement was made with the hopes that she would produce an heir but it was the same result.

The elders were beginning to tag me as an impotent wolf even though they dared not say it to my face but I've heard the rumors.

I knew it was only a matter of time before they brought my replacement and dethroned me from the position of alpha of the pack.

"How is this possible? This girl isn't even a member of this pack so how could she.."

"She is my one-night stand so it's possible," I said cutting her in between her words.

I knew the elders were going to get mad when they heard about this.

They always reminded me that the alpha was a sacred beginning and not to be tainted by outsiders.

The only woman I was permitted to have a sexual relationship with was the woman of the pack.

"But she's an outsider." The healer frowned.

"I know but since she's already carrying my child there's nothing the elders can do about it," I replied.

"She's an outsider and if I am not mistaken she's probably from a rival pack how do you think the elders are going to handle the news when they find out." She warned me.

"They don't need to know," I said.

"You can't hide the truth forever. Sooner or later people are going to find out and it's going to be bad." She said.

"They don't need to know. All they need to know is that we have a Luna."  I said to her.

"I need you to keep this a secret." I pleaded to the healer.

The healer looked at me and she sighed.

"Don't blame me if this backfires." She said to me.

"I heard you came back with a woman." I heard Claire's voice behind me.
