Pregnant and Rejected: The Alpha Wants Me Back CHAPTER SIXTEEN
ARIA’s POV….“Am I…. Interrupting something?” She asked again, this time, eyeing us suspiciously.I turned to Raymond and as collected as possible, his hands now in his pocket, he responded. “Nothing. Aria was just helping me with my collar.” I looked at his collar which had never needed any adjusting.That was the thing with Raymond. Regardless of when and where you found him, he was always collected and presentable.She turned to me, as if seeking confirmation of what he’d said and I nodded. “Yes. I was just adjusting his collar.”She smiled, as if satisfied with my response as she moved closer to Raymond, adjusting and twisting the new ring on her finger, even though I knew she was just flaunting it.Who wouldn’t, though? It was a limited edition diamond ring expertly set in precious metals. It was a gift from the pack to her.She smiled seductively as she brought her hand to his neck, her fingertips gently tracing up his collar and slowly gliding over his neck.I would’ve thought i

ARIA’s POV…“It was arranged by Alpha Raymond himself. Nothing about me being special or anything.” My voice dropped as I slowly looked at him. “I’m just following instructions.” It was all I’d ever done anyway.She smiled as she flipped her hair behind her. “If that’s the case, Raymond,” she tapped him gently, in the most childish way a partner could be. “Shouldn’t Aria move to the first floor?” She looked downwards as she pretended her face was slightly flushed.“The second floor. It’s our private space.”Yet again, she’d come to belittle me and it stung that there was nothing I could do other than take it with a forced smile. I looked at Raymond even though I knew he wouldn’t go against her. Not for me at least.“Go pack up, Aria. I’ll have someone help you move to the first floor.” He said, his voice lightly dropping as I nodded. Of course, she was his choice.I could’ve sworn I heard her squeal as she clapped once. “Gosh, you’re so considerate, Raymond. How couldn’t I love you?” S

ARIA’s POV….I should’ve stood up for myself earlier in front of Alice. That way, I’d have gotten her out of my way sooner. It’d been a whole day since my last confrontation with Alice and she hadn’t bothered me all day today.“Feels good.” I muttered to myself as I let out an exhale while I stretched. It would be a very good day for exercising.“You can’t train so much now that you’re pregnant, Aria. I know they’re a part of your life, but remember; safety comes first.” I held on to my stomach as Eric’s words replayed in my head.It was a very sunny day. I was done with my chores and feeling quite bored and stiff. Besides, it’d been a while since I’d last trained so I decided to. Fighting and training had become a part of my life since Raymond and I got together anyway.“This is for my baby.” I motivated myself as I pushed myself to the middle of the training grounds. “Alpha Raymond won’t protect you; my love.” I caressed my stomach. “But I will. I, Aria, will make sure there’s never

ARIA’s POV…Beside me, I felt Beta Luke’s expression turn cold. So cold it could’ve frozen whoever me.He nodded with compliance as he bowed slightly. “Yes, Alpha Raymond. I shall get to work immediately.” He said but Raymond didn’t respond. He just sat in the car arrogantly as his eyes remained fixated on me.Beta Luke turned to me slightly as he whispered, his expression slightly warmer. “I’m sorry you didn’t get to train much today. Maybe some other time?”I nodded with a smile. At least he wasn’t upset. Raymond had been rude to him because of me. “Of course.” I responded and with that, he took quick strides till he was out of sight.“You’re not going to make us wait an eternity because you’re looking at something that isn’t there, are you?” Raymond asked sarcastically and I could hear the bitterness in his voice as he did so.Without giving him an answer, I got into the backseat of the car, looking out the window as he ignited the engines.The air in the car was so thick you could

ARIA’s POV…..“I’m not her bridesmaid, there must be some sort of misunderstanding.” I tried to protest, but Ashley pressed my shoulder as she flashed me a smile.“You’re my bridesmaid, aren’t you, Aria?” She smiled again, but this time in a threatening way.I looked behind her to Raymond even though I knew there was nothing he’d do and I was right, he just stood there like a statue.The assistant cleared her throat as I turned to her. “There’s a lot to choose from, but considering this is something high profile,” she pulled me to a section with the most beautiful dresses. “You can choose from here.” She stared at my body.“You’re really beautiful with amazing proportions. These would suit you.”“Thank you.” I told her as I stared at the dresses.“And for ma’am Ashley.” She turned to Ashley. “You have a different section.” She informed her and Ashley nodded as they went over to the other side, leaving just Raymond and I standing here.Focus, Aria. It’s just Raymond. There’s nothing to

ARIA’s POV….My baby.No, it couldn’t be.As several unhealthy and negative thoughts ran through my mind while Raymond stared at me with concern, I wiped my hand over my face as I struggled to get off the table, the blood still trickling down my thighs.“What’s going on? Is it me? Did I do this?” He asked as he moved closer to me.Yes. No. Damn it.“Oh no. I’m fine.” I lied as I grabbed a tissue hanging on the rack as I wiped my thigh with it even though it didn’t do much to help.“You don’t look fine. If you were, blood wouldn’t be trickling down your spine. Goddamn it.” He insisted, his voice slowly turning protective.Was he being protective of me? I raised my head so I could look him in the eye and contrary to the cold and expressionless man I always saw, this man actually had concern in his eyes.“I’m serious. I’m fine. It’s just, just my period.” The perfect cover up excuse finally came to mind. I mean, it wasn’t like I could tell him about my pregnancy.“It just came a little ea

RAYMOND’s POV….Fuck this…This is wrong, Raymond…It’s not. You’re mine. You were, are, and will always be.As I collapsed into the sofa, memories from what happened in the dress room coming to mind, I let out an exhale as I palmed my hand over my face.“We shouldn’t be doing this.”As I recalled her words, I wiped my lips gently and as I did, I recalled how my lips had been pressed against hers. It’d been a kiss filled with desire, with longing, and it showed the burning passion I felt for her— I hoped it did.“Aria. What have you done to me?” I asked myself when I realized my skin still burned from her touch and my mind wasn’t going to stop replaying those wonderful moments for a very long time.“Raymond.” I muttered my name with a chuckle when I recalled that after what felt like an eternity, she’d called me by my name.Goodness, my name had never sounded better coming from anyone’s lips before and hearing her call out to me did something to my organs that I couldn’t quite explain.

ARIA’s POV….My baby, please be fine.I promise, I won’t do anything to hurt you going forward.With each step I took towards the restroom, I felt more blood trickle out of me and it now felt like I was an eternity away from the restroom.“Finally.” I gasped when I reached the restroom, pulling the door open as I rushed in, slamming the door shut behind me as I turned on the water, wiping off the blood that was trickling down my thighs first before I grabbed my pills in my purse as I gulped them in a single go, not caring for water.I stared at myself in the mirror as I bit the inner flesh of my lips, trying to forget about the pain in my stomach, but it was almost impossible. Not when it was all I could feel now.Panic surged through me when I saw more blood trickling down my thighs even though I’d just cleaned up.“What on earth is going on?” I asked no one in particular as I drew out more toilet paper to clean up.It didn’t seem to be stopping, though, and only then did I recall I h

Pregnant and Rejected: The Alpha Wants Me Back CHAPTER FORTY EIGHT
ARIA’s POV…“It’s fine. You’ll be fine. Our baby will be fine.” Were the only words I could process in my head from Raymond.How we’d gotten to the hospital from the garden, how I was suddenly getting wheeled into the delivery room— these I didn’t know.What I knew however, was that Raymond was here. He was by my side.“Alpha Raymond, you’re going to have to remain outside.” The doctor said when he realized Raymond wasn’t letting go of my hand.“I can’t. I have to be with her. I won’t bother you with your work. I just want to see her and be sure she’s fine. Please.”I’d never seen Raymond plead with anyone else. His voice was vulnerable, his concern, fear, and care, evident to even the blind.“Fine.” The doctor gave in when he realized Raymond wouldn’t let go of my hand.I was in pain, a lot of pain, but with Raymond’s hand gently caressing mine, I felt a little better.HOURS LATER..“Push!” The doctor urged, Raymond’s hand squeezing even tighter on mine.“You can do this, love. I know
Pregnant and Rejected: The Alpha Wants Me Back CHAPTER FORTY SEVEN
ARIA’s POV…My world stopped.Everything I thought was finally coming into place had crumbled and I had lost it all. I felt as empty as I did the very day my parents let me know I meant nothing to them.“No one would ever accept someone like you as a child, or a mate. To be related to you is shameful enough. I’d suggest you hop on the first person to make a move on you.”Only they didn’t give me that chance. They’d sold me off.Alpha Raymond had been my life. I’d gotten hope to live after he came into my life and I’d thought everything would be fine. Only it wasn’t. He’d rejected me.Like everyone else.The only difference? Unlike everyone else who’d thrown me out of their lives, he’d come back. And he was genuine. He loved me, and I loved him too. I wanted to live. With him. With our child.I couldn’t die. I couldn’t lose our first fight together.“Aria, no!” I heard his voice from afar.Life was fading. I could feel it, but I couldn’t just die. There had to be something I could do.“
Pregnant and Rejected: The Alpha Wants Me Back CHAPTER FORTY SIX
RAYMOND’s POV….“What? How?” I yelled, almost losing control and snapping at the doctor. “What the hell is going on, goddamnit?”“Alpha Raymond, please calm down.” Eric tried to calm me, but I couldn’t be calmed.I was losing it, going crazy. With every second that passed, it felt like I was losing her, and losing her meant I was losing myself. I couldn’t deal with it.“She was stabbed, I got here almost immediately, so what fucking poison could be spreading through her right now?” I still had my hands on the doctor and he tried to get away in a respectful manner.“The knife had poison on it. It was a planned murder attempt. She’s still alive right now because you’d brought her here in time.”I let go of him when I heard she was still alive. I knew she was still alive because I could still feel life in my wolf. He would never survive if he’d lost his mate.“And the poison? How are you going to get it out of her?” My voice had lowered now and I felt like a person with imposter syndrom
Pregnant and Rejected: The Alpha Wants Me Back CHAPTER FORTY FIVE
RAYMOND’s POV…One minute, I’d been celebrating my wisdom and victory. I’d been so proud of the fact that I’d outsmarted Beta Luke who’d tried to flee the pack.The next, Ashley had made her comment.Somewhere within that minute, someone had stabbed Aria, and within that same minute, I’d run over to her, on my knees, holding her unconscious bleeding body in my arms.“Get the damn doctor! An ambulance! Get help!” I screamed like a crazed lunatic, everything in me paralyzed.The guards had seized the attacker, but I could care less at this moment. Right now, I could only think about one thing, one person— Aria. My mate, the love of my life, the woman whose life was now in danger because of me.“Alpha Raymond!”No one mattered at that moment. All that mattered was Aria and saving her life.“Aria, it’s fine. You’re fine. Please.” I muttered, unsure of who I was.I carried her in my arms, rushing out of the mansion immediately. I didn’t know how the black car got here, but I got into it i
Pregnant and Rejected: The Alpha Wants Me Back CHAPTER FORTY FOUR
RAYMOND’s POV…I could hear the murmurs that followed my announcement and I wasn’t surprised. They’d witnessed everything. They’d been here when I got ‘married’ to Aria. They’d also been here when I took Ashley in and treated Aria like she meant nothing. Now, I’d brought that same woman back. I couldn’t judge them for their murmurs. If I was in their shoes, I’d do the same.“Ashley, Alpha James, Beta Luke.” I called their names with disgust. “You’ve all been screaming to be let go, but never once have you asked what you did wrong. I assume you already know.”The guards brought Luke forward, throwing him at Ashley and her father’s feet and I smirked in satisfaction at the look of utter shock on his face.“You thought your tracks were clean, didn’t you? You thought you could kill everyone off so nothing would be traced back to you and it would be fine, didn’t you?” I clicked my tongue. “Pathetic.”I honestly felt insulted at how easy it’d been to catch all three of them.“I have—I have
Pregnant and Rejected: The Alpha Wants Me Back CHAPTER FORTY THREE
ARIA’s POV…“You still won’t tell me why you asked me to come with you?” This was another attempt at getting him to speak, but he didn’t.“You said it was because you didn’t like the idea of leaving me alone at the house, but we know that’s not true. So, tell me the truth. Why am I actually coming?”He took his hand off the steering wheel, gently placing it on mine and smiling reassuringly.“You know I wouldn’t do anything to hurt you though, right? You know that whatever I do, I do with your best interests at heart.”I nodded. I’d been running from it for so long, but it was the truth. Lately, I’d come to see that he’d actually changed and everything he did, he actually did for me.“It’s fine if you don’t want to talk about it.”It wasn’t, but I couldn’t say anymore.It had been so sudden, him asking me to return to his pack with him because he was worried something would happen. In the days that passed, he’d managed to calm me about the whole harasser situation and since there’d been
Pregnant and Rejected: The Alpha Wants Me Back CHAPTER FORTY TWO
RAYMOND’s POV…“Thank you, doctor.”“You’re welcome. Honestly, I still think it’s too sudden to leave the hospital, but judging from what’s happened, I know it’s best she goes home; to a place she’s more comfortable.”I nodded in agreement. The harasser’s presence in the hospital had startled her and even though I’d let her believe the harasser was dead so she wouldn’t worry anymore, I knew he wasn’t.That man had killed himself too easily to be the harasser. There was someone else and I would find the bastard and make him pay for every single moment of restlessness Aria had been in.“The hospital will make security more uptight, and scrutinize the employees more.” Regret and guilt coated his voice as he took out a file and handed it to me.“Those are his details. Before he died, he’d been in some debts. I’m guessing those will help.”We spoke for a little bit more before he had to excuse himself.I stretched my hand, letting the man behind me take the file before I returned to the w
Pregnant and Rejected: The Alpha Wants Me Back CHAPTER FORTY ONE
ARIA’s POV…“Aria.” Raymond rushed in, straight to my side as he pulled me in for a hug. “What happened?” He was referring to the pieces of glass on the floor.“The harasser. They— they—“ I couldn’t get the words out so I just handed him the most recent note from the attacker. “They sent another. It’s not over, Raymond. They’re not done.” I cried.He took the note, sliding it into his pocket, his hand rubbing my back.“It’s fine. All of this will be over soon. I promise you.” He sounded so calm and collected, like it wasn’t my life and that of my baby’s at stake.What did I expect, though? He was an Alpha. He was used to being calm and collected. A knife could be held to his neck and he still wouldn’t show a single emotion.“I just want to go home.” I admitted, my hands still wrapped around him. “I’m tired of being here, of being somewhere that’s not home. It’s suffocating. I can’t stay here anymore.”“Come with me to my house.” I withdrew from the hug, staring at him, confused. “Not t

ARIA’s POV…‘Keep going, Aria. Keep going.’ A voice in my head urged me and even though my feet, vision, and body weren’t in compliance, I kept going.“Aria!” I heard my name again, but this time, the voice was even more faint.I was losing consciousness. I could barely keep up. I needed to get my baby to safety.I kept running, willing to give it my all, when a car suddenly came out of nowhere with blinding headlights. I screamed, coming to an abrupt stop and turning, I crashed into a firm chest.“Argh!”I’d thought it was over for me and it would be one of the men, but it wasn’t. It was the only man I wanted to be with at that moment.“Raymond.” I muttered weakly as his hands came around me, hugging me tightly while his mouth did the pressing of kisses on my head.“It’s fine. You’re fine.”I felt relief wash over me, but I didn’t get to savor it for long. I’d hit my limit. Raymond’s assuring words were the last thing I heard before darkness enveloped the course of my entire being.**
