Chapter 8 I am pregnant

Archie's POV

After hanging up the phone with Alisha, I couldn't help but complain, "She's really audacious. She clearly needed a favor from me, but her attitude was so terrible. I wonder if she had a bad experience somewhere else and is taking it out on me. She only dares to vent her anger on me!"

“Boy, cool down. I know you're unhappy and hurting, but you should reflect on yourself.” My wolf started to blabber on my mind.

“Come on! What do I need to reflect? I have already seen through her. She needs an excuse to come back.”

“What? Your wife has left home and wanted to divorce you, don’t you forget that?”

“No! It’s just her tricks to get my attention. I know I was too busy these days, which might get her unhappy.”

“Buddy, I think you are too optimistic. According to her attitude this morning, you are supposed to say more sweet words to get her back as soon as possible. Or I am afraid that you will be dumped poorly.”

“Nonsense! She loves me very much! How can she leave me? I bet she has been missing me over these days.”

“How can you see that?”

“She came to my company this morning, I bet she wanted to see me secretly.”

“Anything else?”

“She sent me message on the pretext of her uncle’s birthday. I knew she intended to talk with me. she must know her mistake and wanted to come back, so I gave her an out but she didn’t catch it! That stupid girl!”

“I don’t know what to say, bro, but for the Moon Goodness’s sake, please don’t be so confident and perform well tomorrow to make her happy. Remember, your wife has NOT been back yet!”

“Don’t worry, I promise that she will come home with me together tomorrow. After all, I agreed to attend her uncle’s boring party. Normally, the Black Furies is not qualified to invite me.”

“Canceling tomorrow’s meeting to accept Alisha’s request is the only right thing you made today.”

I had no time to chat with my wolf now, for it reminded me that I should cancel my appointment for tomorrow.

"Louie, something came up, so I can't meet you anymore."

Louie was the youngest son of the Alpha of Deep moon. Our packs were ally and we grew up together. I regarded him as my best friend.

In the werewolf world that admires the power, he is a unique being who enjoyed art and cherished peace, spending most of his time in the human world on exhibitions, concerts and traveling. He opened an entertainment company that encompassed various fields such as performance, music, and stage plays.

"Oh, how can you treat me like this? I just did a great favor to you, selling that wonderful song to Erma. Do you know how angry my music director Bob was? He looked at me in horrible disbelief as though I was an idiot."

"Stop complaining. My price is double or even three times higher than the normal price. I bet you must be happy with this deal."

"Hah, thanks for you generosity, Archie. Why do you insist on sending this song to Erma, do you really love her so much? I have to say, her voice is not suitable for this song at all."

"That's none of your business."

"Well, but I wonder what makes you stand me up? Because of Erma?" Louie asked meaningfully.

"Fuck off. I need to accompany my wife to attend her uncle's birthday party."

"Wow, Alisha, right? I feel pity for missing you wedding ceremony two years ago while I was on a travel abroad. I am very curious about that girl-what magic she has can have you step into the grave of marriage."

"Why are you paying attention to my wife? Do you have nothing better to do?" I frowned with Louie's question.

"Calm down, buddy, you are too nervous! I know Alisha is your wife! I promise no matter how stunning your wife looks, I will never have designs on her, for I have met my own mate. Don't worry, I am looking forward to see you next time." Louie answered in a pleasant tone.

I was shocked with his words, for Louie was born with a prophecy from that he destined be alone through his whole life. But now, Louie said that he had met his mate…

"Are you serious?"

"Huh, of course. I fell in love with her at the first sight. Although my wolf didn't give me any sign, my heart told me so."

"Which pack that she-werewolf comes from?"

"I have no idea. She likes a cute rabbit, jumping into my chest with red eyes and then ran away quickly. Actually, I know nothing about her now, but I have a feeling that I will meet her soon."

"Well, good luck. Whatever, I am glad that you have found your lover."

"Thanks, hope the next time, I can take her to see your wife. We can have a double date."

I raised my eyebrow and then hung up the phone.

"Archie, even Louie has met his lover, you must work hard to get Alisha back. Otherwise, you have to attend the double mate alone. Poor guy." My wolf started nagging again.

My temples began hurt and ignored its words, calling Brad.

"Alpha, I'm at your service."

“Brad, send my mom to the Black Furies before 5 p.m. to attend Joey’s birthday party.”

“Got it.”

Then I paused for a while and continued, “Order a bouquet of flower for me.” It’s said that woman loves flowers. If Alisha received it, she would be happy and agree to go home with me.

“Fine, but what kind of flowers would you like?”

“Which one the girls love most?”

“Hmm, can I know to whom are you going to send the flowers? Your mother or anyone else?”

After a long silence, I answered in a flat voice, “Alisha.”

“Alpha, don’t you know your wife’s favorite flower?”

I indeed had no answer. To be honest, I rarely paid attention to her or cared about what she liked or hated since I married her.

I just knew that she loved me, so no matter when I needed her, she would appear in time. She never left me during our marriage. But now, she refused to go back home.

If this was her plan to get my attention, I had to say that she made it.

“Rose. I want red rose.”

“Fine. I think Luna will love it. No girls can refuse red rose.”

"Hey, Archie, you know what Alisha really wants! I bet a baby will be the best gift for her." my wolf suggested in my mind.

"No, she can't have my baby." I replied firmly.

Alisha's POV

Hearing Bob's words, I took a deep breath and replied, "Fine, Bob, you say, I'm listening."

"Alisha, as the Music Director at DM, I shouldn't be saying what I'm about to say. However, as a fellow musician, I feel obligated to tell you that you are more suited to sing this song than Erma. Unfortunately, someone is willing to pay a significant amount of money to help Erma secure this opportunity, and I can't change that. But I highly appreciate your music composition talent and your singing voice. I hope you can become an outstanding singer. Don't let this situation bring you down; keep working hard! You will definitely succeed."

My voice trembled as I managed to utter, "Thank you, thank you for believing in me."

After ending the call, my heart was filled with a whirlwind of emotions. While I had received Bob's acknowledgment, my inner turmoil remained unsettled.

I took out my phone and searched for news about Erma online. The first headline that caught my eye was, "Renowned singer Erma and mysterious boyfriend spend a romantic night together, suspected birthday celebration." This was followed by "Erma hints at releasing a new song" and "Erma mentions during an interview that she can't disclose her boyfriend's identity."

I masochistically browsed through these news articles, and each one felt like a sharp knife stabbing into my chest.

When I learned that Erma had stolen my opportunity, anger once again blazed within me. My anger was not just because my chance had been taken away but because I had a gut feeling that the person Bob mentioned, the one helping Erma, was very likely to be Archie, my husband!

I knew Archie had been providing resources for Erma, helping her become a well-known singer. I used to think he did it out of guilt, considering that he married me instead of Erma to obey his grandmother's orders. Therefore, he might want to make amends for her.

But now it seemed I had been too naive! He was Erma's sugar daddy! In his eyes, Erma was his treasure, while I meant nothing.

I mocked myself. Just a few minutes ago, I had fantasies about him and worried he wouldn't eat well after I left. That was so stupid. Alisha, you need to wake up from this dream!

Just then, a text message notification interrupted my chaotic thoughts. I furrowed my brows as I opened it, and the message with photo sent shivers down my spine, "I have some good news to share with you. I'm pregnant. Here's my check-up report, and by the way, the red roses next to it are from Archie, celebrating this good news. - Erma."

Immediately following, another message arrived, "I want to meet with you to talk about this child. After all, he is Archie's baby, and you will love him too, won't you?"
