Aurora's pov
I tried to shake off his grip, but he held firm. but trembling slightly.
The alpha's eyes narrowed. "You're not going to just walk away from this," he said. "We need to talk."
I tried to struggle, but he was too strong. He pulled me back into the room, the reporter and the other guests watching in silence.
The alpha dragged me to a private corner, blocking the people behind us. "What's going on?" he demanded, his eyes blazing with anger. "Why didn't you tell me you were pregnant?"
I stood tall, trying to keep my composure steady. "I didn't think it was any of your business," I wrote.
The alpha's face turned red with rage. "Not my business?" he repeated. "You're carrying a child, and it's not my business?"
I shook my head. "Yes I'm carrying my child," I wrote, showing him to his face, as my hand shaking.
The alpha's eyes narrowed. "Don't lie to me," he growled. "I know but it is a child you carrying. And I'll do whatever it takes care of it, since you are a loner in this city."
I felt a chill run down my spine as I realized the alpha's true intentions. He did care about me or my well-being and he cared about putting it as his responsibility to keep me safe.
I knew I had to get away from him, no matter what it took. But as I turned to leave, I realized that I was trapped. The alpha had me right where he wanted me.
As the alpha's guards stood at attention by the door, he turned to me and said, "You'll leave when I tell you to." The hall was silent, except for the sound of camera shutters clicking away.
"We'll settle this at my place," the alpha said, his voice firm. "Now, follow me." He strode out of the hall, with me reluctantly trailing behind him, my head down and my notepad clutched in my hand.
We entered his car, and as we drove away from the crowd, the alpha remained silent. I couldn't help but wonder what he had planned for me.
When we arrived at his mansion, the alpha grasped my hand tightly, leading me inside. He snatched my notepad from me, dropping it onto a nearby table.
"Now, write," he commanded. "I need all the answers I can get."
I hesitated for a moment before beginning to write. "The child is complicated, and I was already pregnant when I entered your city."
The alpha's eyes scanned my words, his face twisted in anger. "This is rubbish, absolutely," he spat. "Why didn't you tell me?"
I continued writing, determined to make him understand. "I was scared, and I didn't know what you would do. I'm telling the truth I was pregnant before I came here."
The alpha's face turned red with rage as he read my words. "You expect me to believe that?" he sneered. "That you just happened to be pregnant when you arrived in my city?"
I nodded, writing furiously to try and convince him. "Yes, it's the truth. I swear on my life."
The alpha's eyes narrowed. "I don't know what kind of game you're playing, but I'm not buying it. You're going to tell me the truth, one way or another."
He paced back and forth across the room, his anger and frustration increases. I could feel my heart racing as I wondered what he would do next.
Suddenly, he stopped pacing and turned to face me. "I want to see a doctor's report," he demanded. "I want proof that you were pregnant before you came here."
I hesitated, unsure of what to do. But then I remembered the nurse who had been taking care of me. She had access to my medical records, and she might be willing to help me.
I wrote a note to the alpha, explaining that I would need to contact the nurse to get the report. The alpha's face twisted in concern, but he nodded curtly.
"Fine," he said. "But if I find out you're lying to me, there will be consequences."
I nodded, feeling relief as I let go of deep breath. I knew that the nurse would be able to provide the proof I needed to convince the alpha that I was telling the truth.
The alpha picked up his phone and dialed a number. "Bring the nurse here," he barked into the phone. "I need her to confirm some information."
I watched as the alpha paced back and forth across the room, his anger and frustration still simmering just below the surface.
After a few minutes, the nurse arrived, looking nervous and anxious. "Alpha, what's going on?" she asked, her eyes scaring to me and then back to the alpha.
"I need you to confirm that this woman was pregnant before she met came to this city ," the alpha growled. "I need proof that she's telling the truth."
The nurse nodded, her face calm and professional. "Yes, Alpha. I can confirm that. I've been taking care of her since she fainted, and her medical records show that she was indeed pregnant before she came here."
The alpha's face twisted in anger, but he said nothing. Instead, he turned to me, his eyes blazing with intensity.
"Fine," he said. "I believe you. But that doesn't change the fact that you're carrying a child, and I'm going to make sure that I'm involved in that child's life, no matter what."
I shook my head, trying to process the alpha's words. "You can't just claim the child as your own," I wrote on my notepad. "I'm the mother, and I have rights too."
The alpha sneered, his eyes flashing with anger. "Rights?" he repeated. "You think you have rights? You're a mute, pregnant woman in a strange city. You don't have any rights. I'm the alpha, and I'll do what's best for this child."
I felt a surge of fear and determination. I knew I had to protect myself and my child from the alpha's manipulation.
The nurse stepped forward, her voice calm and reliable. "Alpha, I think you're forgetting that this woman is a person with her own freedom and rights. She deserves to be treated with respect and dignity."
The alpha's face turned red with rage, but he seemed to be restraining himself. "Fine," he spat. "I'll respect her rights. But I'm still going to be involved in this child's life. And I'll do whatever it takes to make sure that happens."
It was as if an heavy rock hit my head hearing those word, as I realized the alpha's true intentions. He was determined to control me and my child, no matter what it took.
Aurora's pov It was looking as if the alpha was trying to control my life. I wasn't satisfied with it. Yes, I know I did bad not telling him about the pregnancy. And, moreover, speaking of the pregnancy, I am not convinced enough about what you are telling me, nurse, the alpha said, scaring at the nurse, raising an eyebrow."I don't understand," the nurse asked, looking confused. "I have already confirmed to you; what more do you want, my alpha?""How am I sure this isn't a plan worked between you and Aurora?" the alpha asked. "Because, if I would remember very well, I caught Aurora and my beta together, as my beta was trying to make a move on her at her room. So, it can be that they can be having a secret affair with each other. She was just trying to pretend as she noticed I was coming," the alpha said.I widened my eyes in shock and surprise upon hearing those words from the alpha. How could he think this way of me, despite what the nurse told him?"My alpha, I don't think you sho
Aurora's pov The alpha's expression turned confused. "Excuse me, I don't understand you?" he asked, interrupting the beta.I just stared at them as they spoke.The beta hesitated, looking at me before turning back to the alpha. "They're asking for the land near the old oak tree of your grandparents, my alpha," he said slowly.The alpha's expression changed, his eyes narrowing. "The old oak tree?" he repeated. "That's a sacred site for our pack. Why would they want that land?"The beta shook his head. "I don't know, my alpha. But they seemed really insistent on getting that land. They said it was essential for their farming."The alpha's face twisted in a dirty looks. "I don't trust them," he growled. "There's something more to this. I want you to investigate further, beta. Find out what they're really after."The beta nodded, looking determined. "Yes, my alpha. I'll get to the bottom of this."I watched as the alpha and the beta continued to discuss the matter, my mind racing with th
Aurora povThe nurse smile was unstoppable as I smiled back at the nurse, feeling a appreciated. "Thanks for playing along," I wrote. "I owe you one."The nurse chuckled and patted my hand. "Don't worry about it, dear. I'm just glad I could help. But seriously, you need to be careful. The alpha is getting suspicious, and if he finds out you're hiding something from him, there will be consequences."I nodded, feeling a shiver run down my spine. I knew the nurse was right. I had to be careful if I wanted to keep my secrets safe.The nurse helped me settle in for the night, making sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed.With that, she smiled and slipped out of the room, leaving me to wonder what she had discovered.I knew I couldn't pretend forever. The alpha would be back, and he wouldn't take no for an answer. He needed the truth.Few minutes after nurse left, leaving me to rest. As I wasn't able to sleep, I found myself rolling on my bed, my mind racing with thoughts and w
Aurora's pov The tension was beginning to increase, as the beta wasn't ready for anymore conversation. "I understand," I wrote, trying to look calm. "But I don't see how finding the person will change anything."The beta's expression turned grim. "It will change everything, Aurora. The alpha will not rest until he finds out who the father of your child is. And if we don't find him first, the alpha will assume it's me. Do you understand what that means?"I just nodded. Because I knew that if the alpha assumed the beta was the father of my child, it would mean disaster for the beta."It means the alpha will punish me, and possibly even exile me from the pack," the beta said, his voice low and serious. "And it will also put you and your child in danger. The alpha will not take kindly to being deceived."I felt fear at the beta's words. I had never intended for things to go this far. I had only been trying to protect myself and my child."What can we do?" I wrote, feeling a sense of des
Aurora's pov Despite pushing the feeling aside, it still kept disturbing me. It just seemed like the more I was trying to find a way out, the more I was multiplying my problems. Adding more lies wasn't the best idea I would have come up with, but the deal had already been done. I would have to face the consequences.I felt unease as the guilt settled in the pit of my stomach. Every time I thought about the web of lies I had spun, I felt like I was drowning in my own deceit. The beta's words kept echoing in my mind "I'll will find thr rapist no matter what it takes." But what if he didn't? What if the beta saw right through my lies?I felt a cold sweat break out on my forehead as I thought about the possibilities. I had never been a good liar, and now I was trapped in a situation where my lies could have disastrous consequences.As I walked around the room, I couldn't help but feel like I was walking on thin ice. One wrong move, one misstep, and everything could come crashing down aro
Aurora's pov The guard's eyes locked onto mine, filled with a deep sadness. "You see, ma'am, the beta's anger against rape isn't just about justice. It's personal. And now, with your... situation, he's even more driven to uncover the truth."I felt a cold creeping all over my body as I realized the gravity of my actions. I had unwittingly dragged the beta's dark past into the spotlight, and now he was more determined than ever to uncover the truth.The guard's voice brought me back to reality. "Please, ma'am, you must promise me that you won't tell the beta that I told you this. He would never forgive me if he knew that I had shared this with you."I nodded, still trying to process the weight of the guard's words. I felt like I was trapped in a web of my own making, with no clear escape.I nodded again, trying to reassure the guard that I would keep his secret. He looked at me with a serious expression, then nodded and unlocked the door.As he opened the door, I saw the beta standing
Aurora pov I stood there, my heart pounding out of my chest, as they both stared at me. Waiting for me to start writing, I held my notepad tight to my chest, my finger tapping at the surface of the notepad, not knowing what to say, thinking of different things to say."I believe you have rested enough, Aurora," the alpha said, his voice raising in venom. "Time to start writing, because I can't accommodate a child, who we don't know who the father is.""You want to still bring that up again?" the beta asked."Yes," the alpha replied, "and moreover, you spoke something about Aurora hiding something. Is there anything I need to know?" The alpha asked, his eyes narrowing at me.Maybe the alpha knows about the beta's past, I thought to myself. I have to tell him to take the attention away from me.I opened my notepad to write: "Am sorry I was afraid to tell you, but I was raped."They both came nearer to read what I wrote."What?" the alpha exclaimed. "Am very sorry, I know how you feel.
Aurora pov Just when the alpha was about to speak, the beta's phone rang. "Sorry, my alpha," the beta said, walking away from us to a corner of the room.I turned to the beta, trying to hear his conversation, but all I could hear was just murmurs. A while later, he walked back to us, looking at us with a big smile on his face."It looks like my investigation is moving faster than I expected," the beta said. "Aurora, immediately after we spoke yesterday night, I called some of my sources, and they were able to get me some information which I would say would be quite useful for me.""Wait, you two spoke last night?" the alpha asked, looking confused."Just forget about that, my alpha," the beta said.The alpha turned to me, but I only gave a faded smile."My sources said they just caught two suspected rapists," the beta said. "I think Aurora should follow me, maybe she could recognize something."Immediately, the beta spoke those words, my heart started racing fast, and I began trembli
Aurora pov The guard's eyes widened in shock as he read what I wrote."But none of them was the rapist, right?" he asked.I answered with a nod."Oh, this would be difficult for the beta than I expected," the guard said with a forced smile.I also forced a smile back. How would my lies about the rape case end? I thought. The beta would not be ready to give up.I tried to push the thought aside, not wanting to dwell on the consequences of my actions. But it was hard to shake off the feeling of unease that had settled in my stomach.The guard, seemingly oblivious to my inner turmoil, continued to chat with me, asking me questions about my day and my thoughts on the alpha and beta. I responded politely, trying to keep up the charade, but my mind was elsewhere.As the conversation went on, I found myself growing more and more anxious. I knew I had to keep up the lie, but it was getting harder and harder to do so. The guard seemed nice, but I couldn't trust him completely. What if he disc
I stood there in front of him with a lot on my mind. I had to find a way to make him not say a word to Asher, because if it reached Asher's ears about my location and my progress in this city, he would come after me.I held my notepad with my pen tight in my hand, as I had a lot to write to try to convince him."Let me check to see if the coast is clear for you to go," Ryker said, trying to peek through from the corner where we were standing. But I dragged him back to me."What!" he yelled with a low voice, looking at me strangely.I quickly wrote on my notepad, showing him right in front of his face: "It's about Asher.""What about him?" he asked, looking confused."Please, I beg of you, don't tell him you saw me here," I wrote.Ryker's expression changed, and he looked at me with a mixture of surprise and curiosity. He took the notepad from me and wrote, "Why not? What does Alpha Asher have to do with you?"I hesitated for a moment, unsure of how much to reveal. But something about
Aurora's pov I was relieved that the beta had dropped the subject of Ryker. I began to scribble some notes on my pad, trying to appear thoughtful.As I wrote, I couldn't help but think about Ryker's unexpected arrival. What was he doing here? And why did he seem to recognize me?I pushed the thoughts aside, focusing on the task at hand. I had to keep up the charade, at least for now."I think I remember something," I wrote, I remember he was very tall."The beta's eyes lit up with interest. "That's a great lead," he said. "I'll make sure to investigate further."I nodded,I had managed to deflect the beta's suspicions, at least for now. But I knew that I couldn't keep up the act forever. Eventually, the truth would come out, and I would have to face the consequences.Let's go back to the alpha, the beta said, as we both turned to the alpha with a faded smile. We walked up to the alpha, as the alpha was expecting either one of us to say something."I think we have overstressed Aurora f
Aurora's pov There was no sign of giving up from the alpha and beta, as they were both determined. I just stood there in shock, staring at the both of them, as I held my pen tight on my notepad.The alpha noticed my discomfort as he looked at me with a worried look. "Do you have anything to write that could help us?" the alpha asked.I didn't even nod or shake my head; it was as if my whole body was frozen, with my eyebrows widely open."Hmmm, I understand we are stressing you, judging from your condition," the alpha said, "but I just want to tell you that we mean well for you."I let out a deep breath of frustration, as I was getting tired of the situation. The whole room was filled with silence, as both the beta and alpha had nothing else to say. Then, after what felt like eternity, there was a knock at the door that broke the silence."Who is there?" the alpha yelled, as his voice gave me a bit of fear.The door cracked open, and it was one of the beta's guards. "You came with goo
