RAYMOND’s POV…

“I’m not interested.” Three words. The harsh truth.

“Aria, please, you have to listen to me. I—“

“I said, I’m not interested. I have better things to do with my time and I’m certainly not squeezing out any time to speak to you. Get that into your head.” She retorted.

She’d changed. A lot. And I couldn’t even blame her for it.

“I know you hate me after everything and want nothing to do with me, but please, listen to me. I came all the way here just so I can talk to you and I can’t leave without doing so. Aria, please, just listen.” I pleaded. I wasn’t used to pleading. I had never had to plead for anything my whole life, but with her, I would.

She hissed as she paused with her cleaning, raising her head to me. “I don’t care how far you came, Alpha Raymond. You’re late. Two months late.” Her voice dropped at the last part. She adjusted as she tucked her hair behind her ear.

“With that said, I’ve got work to do. Please excuse me.” She said and as she made to leave, I grabbe

    ARIA’s POV….“Coffee for Miss Aria.”I paused what I was doing as I raised my head to look at who it was. It was him. Again.“No, thank you.” I ignored him as I continued with the files I was arranging.“You have to. You’ve been working all day and I haven’t seen you put a single thing in your mouth. You must eat.” He insisted and I sighed as I hit the desk.“Aren’t you supposed to be an Alpha? Don’t Alphas have a lot of work to do? How are you always here, Alpha Raymond?” I asked as I hissed in frustration.“I want to be around you. Being an Alpha is hard, but being away from you is harder. There are things I’m supposed to do as an Alpha, but I know where I’m supposed to be the most, and that’s beside you.”I felt shivers travel down my spine at his words but I ignored it as I tucked my hair behind my ear.“No extreme emotions or activities as they’re extremely dangerous to the baby. She’s in her second trimester and is barely showing. Anything could be dangerous for her.” The doctor’

    RAYMOND’s POV….“I didn’t do anything!” I defended myself as I took her out of his arms while he scurried his pocket for his phone.I didn’t even understand what was happening. One minute, we were talking, the next, I was apologizing. Now? She was unconscious. What on earth happened?“Yes, doctor. The same shop. Please be here quickly.” I heard him say and it kind of didn’t make sense.Eric was a doctor, so why on earth was he calling another doctor?“You don’t deserve to touch her.” He scowled at me as he carried her out of my arms.“What do you mean? I didn’t do anything to her. Why would I hurt her? I only came here to—“ Why was I even explaining myself to him?He gently placed her on the bed in the room he’d taken her to and I rushed to her side as I took her hand in mine, rubbing it as I felt my heart beat faster in fear.“Come on, check up on her. Aren’t you a doctor?” I yelled at him when I noticed him just standing there and running his fingers through his hair like he was some

    ARIA’s POV…“She’ll be fine. She just needs to stop stressing.” I heard a faint voice as I slowly brought my hand to my forehead, rubbing it slowly before opening my eyes.The bed, the room’s setup, the machines beeping.“Hospital.” I muttered.What was I doing here? What happened?I closed my eyes and the memories of what had happened hit me. Alpha Raymond, Eric, my baby!I made to get off the bed when I suddenly heard the creak of a door.“Don’t move. It’s not good for you or the baby.”I gasped in shock when I realized it was Alpha Raymond and I turned to him, my heart pounding in my chest.“Huh?”“I said, don’t move. It’ll stress you since you’re just regaining consciousness. Stress isn’t good for you or the baby.” He repeated and I felt my hands start to shake.“Wh—what are you talking about?” I tried to deny. There was no way I could let him find out the truth I’d been keeping all this time.“How long were you planning to keep the truth from me for, Aria?” I’d expected more anger

    ARIA’s POV…TWO WEEKS LATER….“Once we restock, I’ll be sure to send you an email informing you. Thank you for shopping with us, I hope you have a lovely day ahead.”It’d been two weeks since the incident at the hospital and I was completely better now. Though there were still mild stomach pains here and there, it couldn’t be compared to my previous flare up’s so it was safe to say I was fine now.I’d resumed at the shop a week ago after managing to convince grandma I was fine and that work at the shop wasn’t even stressful. She’d budged, but I’d also had to budge by getting an assistant to help. Although I saw no need for an assistant, I couldn’t help but admit it was fun to have someone to talk to when the other workers in the shop were busy.“You can put this up in the file room. Thank you.” I handed Tomika, my assistant, the file before continuing with other paper work.I brushed through the details while computing them and in the process, something caught my attention— A handwritt

    ARIA’s POV……I snapped back to reality, turning my head away from him so I could catch my breathe. I couldn’t deal with this sudden change. In the three years I’d been with him, I swore I could count the number of times he’d smiled, but now, in less than a minute, he’d smiled…. Twice. At me!!I cleared my throat before turning back to him. “It wouldn’t be easy to make it up to me.”“I know.” He responded immediately, like he knew that was what I would say.“We’re looking at three years here, Alpha Raymond. A lot happened in those three years and you’re trying to make up for them now. I assure you, it’s not going to be easy, so save yourself the stress and just return to your pack. It would be easier that way.” And it would save me another load of heartbreak.He chuckled. “I don’t mind. Three more years? Thirty? Three hundred? If it ends with me earning your forgiveness after everything, I’ll do it.” He looked at his wrist watch before looking at me and then taking the documents.“My as

I couldn’t think straight and it felt like my vision was getting worse.I grabbed the door knob as I walked out of the restroom, still in shock and fear from what I’d read in the restroom.“Aria, are you okay?” I raised my head to see Raymond staring at me with concern written all over his face.“I’m fine.” I lied. I was anything but fine. It was safe to say I was dying on the inside at this moment.His hand came around me as he looked to the door. “Did something happen? You don’t look okay.”“I don’t want to talk about it.” I sighed as I took his hand off me, walking back to the reception with my emotions all over the place.“Is it your stomach? Are you in any pain? Let’s go to the hospital. They’ll check you and—““I’m fine!” I banged the table out of frustration. I didn’t mean to, but it already happened. I dropped my head as I let out a tired exhale. “Really. I’m fine. I just want to be left alone. Please.”“Okay.” He seemed to understand that I w

    ARIA’s POV….“Wh—what are you doing?” I screamed, struggling to get free.“Taking what’s rightfully mine.” I heard a voice and that was the last thing I heard before I was knocked out.I slowly opened my eyes to find myself in a dimly lit room. Judging from how sore my hands felt and how hard I found moving, I knew I’d been tied up.“Damn it.” I cursed, letting out an exhale as I tried to get out of the bounds.Stress isn’t good for your baby. I tried to remind myself. Whatever I was doing right now, I had to make sure I played it safe so as not to hurt my precious baby.“I’m telling you, she’s some pretty shit. Definitely would be good for a round or two.” I heard a voice say alongside footsteps approaching.I instantly knew that the people who’d kidnapped me were on the way. I jerked my head back, quickly feigning unconsciousness. I didn’t know what my harasser wanted to do to me, but I was very sure he wouldn’t like to see me conscious. What if I was knocked out again? Too risky.“S

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.**

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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
