Pregnant and Rejected: The Alpha Wants Me Back CHAPTER TWENTY ONE
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

ARIA’s POV….“We’d make a wonderful couple for some magazine cover, won’t we?” She asked again, this time, holding on to his arm as she smiled at me.I managed a nod as I clutched on to the dress in my hands, my eyes traveling to Raymond’s.“Of course, you do. You look perfect together. I don’t think there are any better matches for you two besides each other.” I told her, feeling nothing but numbness as I spoke. Usually, complimenting them would hurt, but this time, all I felt was just the grateful relief that my baby was fine.She sighed as she adjusted Raymond’s shirt even though it needed none. “I know that. I’ve always done that.”Just as she turned to continue with whatever she was doing before she noticed me, her eyes landed on the dress in my hands and they flared open which caused me to stare at her confused.“What on earth have you done!” She yelled and I looked down at the dress. Only now did I notice that some of my blood had stained it and I gasped.“That dress. What did y

RAYMOND’s POV….“Thank you very much.” Ashley told the waiter as he took the glasses of juice off our table, preparing to present our food after we’d ordered.Ashley adjusted her chair as she leaned in, resting on the table. “Did you really mean those compliments at the dress shop?” She asked me, excitement evident in her voice.What compliments? I’d been tempted to ask, but then it all dawned on me.I nodded as I looked at the menu in front of me. Though the compliment hadn’t been for her, she’d heard it.Something in me tugged at Aria not being the one who’d heard it.“You know, when you first complimented me, my heart slipped a beat.” She gasped a little as she flipped her hair. “And then you started walking towards me, cupped my cheek..” she paused as her face turned red.“I honestly thought I was dreaming.”“Hmm.” Was all I could process for a response as my mind kept traveling to a certain moment in the dressing room and a certain woman who had been in the backseat of the car I w

ARIA’s POV…“Loitering? Didn’t you say my whole day was free so I could come shopping with you and your mate?” I fought back, making sure to lay emphasis on the word mate.He took a step forward and I refused to move.“Did you just talk back to me, Aria? In public?” I didn’t respond.I took in a deep breath before speaking again, as politely as I could.“When I was taken from the training grounds today, I was told my schedule for the day was cleared. Why does it matter what I’m doing with my free time?”“It matters, because you’re supposed to be working. You’re supposed to—“ he grunted before grabbing my hand as he pulled me towards himself while I winced.“What are you doing, Alpha Raymond? Let go. You’re hurting me.” I struggled to get free from him.“We’ll not be having this conversation here.”“Alpha Raymond, she’s not in the condition to—““Eric, no!” I called out, but it was too late. It’d all happened too fast.Raymond grabbed me forcefully and hurt me.Eric wanted to intervene

ARIA’s POV….“Raymond! Slower please…” I tried to get his name out to be as audible as possible as we hit climax, my vision as foggy as possible as he took his head out of my neck, our gasps filling the room as we both crashed by each other, our hearts— or maybe just mine— beating extremely fast.I gulped as I gently put my hand to my neck, caressing his mark. The mark signified our bond. As I closed my eyes, relishing in the warmth from our moment just now, unable to believe I’d just been marked by my Alpha, his icy voice shot through.“Our nominal mate contract ends in three months.” When he spoke, so coldly, without an ounce of emotion, it felt like my breath had been caught in my throat.I fiddled with the sheets, waiting for him to say something, anything other than what he’d already said, but no other words left his lips. “Ra—“ I tried to get the words out, but they failed me, leaving me with no other option but to cling on to denial.He looked so calm that you wouldn’t have gu

ARIA’s POV…..I’d change everything. Perhaps, if I tried harder, I’d make him fall for me and then I’d tell him about our child.These thoughts crossed through my mind as I set the ingredients aside. As I set up the dishes, the revving sound from outside caused me to turn as Raymond’s black SUV came into view.Reflexively, a smile came up my face as I cleaned my hands on the apron I was on, rushing outside to go greet him. It didn’t matter what he’d said yesterday, or that his words still rang fresh in my head.I pushed those thoughts to the back of my mind— where they belonged— as I stood outside the door, all smiles. How this man managed to make me so happy with just his presence; I couldn’t tell. All I knew was that I was in love with him. Too deep to come out of it at all and hopefully, by the goddess’ grace, in these coming months, I wouldn’t have to because he’d be too deep in love with me, too.“Ray—“ My excited call out to him got caught in my throat the moment the blonde got

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…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 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
