Lara's pov:
I couldn't believe what I heard at all , no way it was possible, I'm just 26 how can my ovulation window close now?, The whole test proves I'm totally fine so where is the complications coming from? I was soo devastated The only thing I could do was hug Dr Jane.. She has been a mother Figure to me right from time , "this.. what do I do "? I was lost, then she spoke up "not as bad as they look , two options"... Thinking deeply about what she said I just thought of James, no way he'd be happy if he hears the first option and no way I'm letting another man's sperm in me, James and I have survived a lot , depriving him of that chance will hurt So I made up my mind " I choose the second option "... I have always wanted to carry my own child , that has been my desire for years, I wanted to care for my own children, give them the motherly love I never got , that was before meeting miss Jane though... Hugging her tight and getting a pat on the back , she asked me to go change! Yeah time to face reality .... Moving to the other room I went to the table in the middle of the room to pick my pants to put on " stupid hospital wear" I sighed as I always had hard time trying to change from it Already pulling It up to my neck and couldn't see a thing no more , I heard the sound of the door open " oh miss Jane I'll be done soon, just need to get that dress off me" Not hearing response which was unlike here I brought my gown down only to see a tall huge and handsome man looking straight at me! "ahhh , damn you pervert!" I told my bag from the side and threw it at him, and that was a bad Idea, because I lost my balance and down I went , "oh noo" falling to the ground I waited for an impact but instead I felt a strong manly scent fill my nostrils Damn this scent was .... I couldn't tell but there was something about it "I see you're comfortable in my arm, should I bring coffee or maybe cookie so you'll relax more"? My eyes flew open when I heard his voice Looking straight into his eyes and sharing the same breath my poor heart began beating too fast , " wow , what a really loud heartbeat " he said again and this time I pushed him away and regained balance "you... you should mind what you Say" I said and frowned "besides this is a ladies room" pointing at the sign on the door he looked towards the direction of my hands and raised his brow Feeling he didn't want to get shamed by a lady he cleared his throat and said "I can be whereever I want to be at anytime , where is Jane "? Looking at him with disgust , I immediately knew which animal he was, a werewolf! I said under my breath and began feeling dizzy " I can't breath the same air with them " I muttered under my breath and picked my pants from the floor and walked as fast as possible to another room Coming out of the building finally dressed up , I sighed internally and entered the car , " phew, James, here I come ... we have a lot of activities to do " Thinking about the wolf I just had an encounter with, it sent shivers down my spine and I prayed to the heavens in hopes we'll never ever cross paths Moving that aside I remembered my fiancee I smirked as I dailed his number " hmm , this Is usual " I raised a brow as I had already called three times without him answering the phone ... I know how much my fiancee cherishes me Moving it to the back of my head I decided to get a strong wine then drive home and meet him Parking at the front of our apartment, I didn't even wait a second, I left my documents in the car and picked just the wine, stepping in , the house reeked of strong liquor, and the sound of song playing at a very loud volume " this songs.... for only " that mood" I felt my body shiver a bit but I waved it all aside and went straight to our bedroom " James my sweetheart, let's make ba....... Coming in the door was wide open , as I got the shock of my life! "JANIS!" I screamed with my might My childhood friend was right there! sleeping with my fiancee "James how could you"? I spoke again My whole body was weak , I could only stand frozen on a spot The bottle in my fell to the floor and shattered into pieces, just like my poor heart James at first was surprised, but Janis wasn't, she smiles devilishly and climed down the bed and stood face to face with me "Well what do we have here"? she said and James walked up behind her "Lara , this... I can explain "... "WHAT! EXPLAIN WHAT! HOW DARE YOU TRY TO GIVE STUPID EXPLANATIONS WHEN I CAUGHT YOU REDHANDED "? I said and gave him a sounding slap Tears were at the corner of my eyes but I fought to keep it in "How dare you"? Janis said and slapped me back.. Caught off guard my Butt landed on the hard floor " you bitch, hands off my man" she added and my ears twitched "me? a bitch? you are the one sleeping with my fiancee Janis and I'm the bitch here"? I dusted my butt as I stood up "I doubt that fiancee even had you in mind since, Baby tell her what you've been doing to her vitamins ...." Janis said with a smirk and I turned to look at James " I... I replaced your vitamins with birth control drugs " James said as his jaw tightened My heart sank finally , James ... " You know how much having children means to me and you did this?, tell me where have I gone wrong? all you needed I provided , and this is how you repay me? "Liar! Janis spat " you haven't done a single thing for my man apart from stress his brain " Putting my hands on my waist I then said " if he really is your man then he should have a good reason why my name is always first in the documents? Seeing she didn't have what to say I laughed and crossed my hands " guess this fiancee thing isn't really working out as well as it is " "Lara , just leave right now , you're no longer welcomed here" James put his pants on as he said "hello, I'm the owner of this , we already signed the papers last month remember? this is all mine , now you both should get out of my house and my life " I said and I pointed my finger at the door Surprisingly they both laughed and Janis finally found her tongue " oh sweetheart, you're so dumb , do you think I'll have my man sign those rubbish papers and let you handle it? no way, you foolishly handed all your assets to him, so darling you're what I'll call ..... " she put her hand on her chin then said " PENNILESS " hahaha Hearing this , the last piece of my heart shattered and I bled internally "James you can't do this to me, you know the main reason why we signed that paper, my heal...." I chocked on my tears.. "take the car with you, you have exactly 20 minutes to pack your things and leave Lara , this is how much I can tolerate you right now" James said as he threw a moving box at me " or you're welcome to be our housemaid, don't worry you'll be placed on salary , and then you'll be sleeping in that dog's crib" Janis said and laughed " that's enough Janis , get dressed we're stepping out ". James scolded and Janis hissed , kicked my hands and left the room. In less then 20 minutes I packed my not so plenty belongings and walked out of the room. Seeing James standing alone at the doorstep I kept my things in the car and tured to look at him, I then asked " did you ever mean all the things you said to me that night"? tears finally rolled down my face and my eyes were red Hands in his pocket James wanted to talk but at the split moment he held back and sniffed almost silently but I noticed Turning without saying a word he went inside and shut the door violently Smiling sadly and finally accepting defeat I entered the car and drove straight to the hospital "miss Jane " was all that rang in my headJAMES'S POV: For years I've never been this weak and powerless like today I thought all I've been doing was right , I never knew how bad my actions were till I saw my ex fiancee cry I have always loved Lara from the moment I saw her at a cafe where she helped my baby sis , We became friends at first When she will always come around to take care of Maya, they got along real quick and I felt my baby sis was safe with her, I got to know she worked at an orphanage,where she took proper care of children On the long run I got to know about her parents tragic death and her love for kids and how she wanted to have one so bad She was all a man would want in a lady The perfect partner But I destroyed it all with my own hands But things went so fast when she introduced her best friend to me Janis was hot and sexy , Lara had her beautiful shape as well and I loved to worship her body always But, Janis was more naughty and knew how to please me I knew this was wron
Crane's pov: Entering the car , telling Yousef to drive I picked my phone up and dialed Dr Jane's number Not taking up to five seconds, it got connected " Hello Jane, I'll be arriving at the hospital in thirty minutes, I have something VERY VERY important to discuss with you" I went straight to the point without even letting her speak first "I'm around sir, I'll be waiting " Hearing her reply I said " I'll see you alone in your office Jane " I told her which I'm sure she got the clue already Ending the call I moved my head backwards and breathed heavily This decision was a tough one, but as always I will pave my way to succes Arriving at the hospital exactly two minutes to the time i gave her Passing the reception, I could hear those big mouthed ladies talk " oh gosh that's Alpha Crane , the wealthiest and ruthless " " yeah so I heard , oh gosh what is he doing in our hospital "? " how am I supposed to know"? " keep your voices down, I heard he ha
After Alpha Crane left, Jane could finally breath well " phew, let me send this text to...." she didn't finish mumbling to herself when the door to her office opened without knocking Looking up and seeing one who she wasn't expecting! Lara... . " oh Lara, did you forget something?" Dr Jane said getting up from her seat Entering the office and coming closer to Jane " I changed my mind doctor, I'll be going for the second option instead " Looking at her with shock Jane raised a brow and spoke " Lara this..... are you sure you want this? I mean you were determined it was gonna be James or no one about an hour or two ago. what changed sweetheart "? Sniffing and trying her best to fight back tears Lara wiped her face clean with the handkerchief from her purse then spoke " I am ready miss Jane and this is what I have always wanted , to be a mum, carry my own child and train him with lots of love, well he or she... anyone the universe blesses me with " She said and took a d
Arriving at the hospital on time , Lara heaved a sigh of relief, greeting the receptionist " oh hi Amanda, I have an appointment with umm doctor Ja...." Smiling she Interrupted " she's already waiting for you at the office , she already told me you were coming today" " oh ,ahh I see " Lara then gave that charming smile " not to waste too much time then , take these files and meet her" Amanda handed a while and blue file to her "oh thank you so much, I'll leave you to work now" Lara said and walked towards the elevator Finally reaching the 4th floor she stood for about 30 seconds before raising her hands to knock But before she could do that , the door was opened and a lady hit her and she fell, " you shouldn't be so close to the door that way, you almost got me injured " the tall lady spat Turning her head to look at the Lady she scoffed ," wh.. what I'm the one on the floor and you're saying this? , the least you could say is sorry " Walking from behind Mary
A week later...... Lara was back at the hospital, Smiling at Amanda, she spoke " and how did it go dear?, judging from your facial expressions, it went well" Bending her head a bit feeling shy but happy , she nodded" yes yes yes, and my baby is a really strong one " she said as she rubbed her belly and felt the baby push "mmmhmm" that went a little to hard , it made her wince a little bit Noticing the discomfort Amanda spoke " I shouldn't Keep you here dear, here this is your file, run along dear, and congratulations once more " she smiled as she handed Lara her hospital file and the young beautiful woman nodded mouthed a 'thank you' and left Few people sitting at the reception couldn't help but turn heads 'damn this woman looked to hot and sexy even in pregnancy ' Entering Dr Jane's office , she saw her reading a file and comparing it with another on her laptop Closing the door not too loudly, but enough to alert her she smiled " hi miss Jane, how have you been"?
After about 30 minutes, Lara was finally awake, and was sitted besides Crane opposite Dr Jane.... The room was soo silent , that it became really awkward "aheemmm" Yousef cleared his throat and then Jane spoke " Alpha Crane, I'm really sorry for what happened, it's not you or Lara's fault..." "Then who's fault is this?Crane didn't even allow her to complete her statement before throwing questions at her " I came here that day, and gave strict instructions, on how to handle it, now all because of your dumb co-worker, my pup is stuck in the womb of a weak hum....." "excuse you..." It was Lara's turn to interupt " first of all it's my baby , not some pup or whatever you call it , and secondly, I'm not weak , yes I'm a human , but I have manners and don't lack common sense " Lara breathed hard when she realized how much she had said. Woah! that was new, how come she never realized she could talk this way? " If not for the fact you're carrying my pup, I'd have torn yo
" mom dad please don't leave me alone, please come back" a 4 years old baby girl cried as she sat besides the dead body of her parents , Watching her parents get attacked and killed in a very cruel way by the enemy was something even an adult would flinch when seen, A younger lady in her 20s came and picked the young Lara up " my sweet , you're not supposed to be here, come let's get you to safety, the wolves will be back soon" Looking at the other man who was watching the area for her, " with the absence of the Alpha and Luna, we're no longer safe. We need to leave , NOW! Putting her on her back, the young lady said " dear close your eyes okay? don't look at them no more" But the young girl couldn't take her eyes off them, she just watched them go farther and farther until she couldn't see a thing , just smoke in the air and voices of vicious wolves howling "Daddy, Mummy,come ,come, " no stay away from them. nooooooo! " hey, you're safe now, hey! Lara's eyes shot open, swea
Lara's pov: Few hours had passed after Crane spoke to Lara, making her feel Like trash sitting in the room and scrolling through my phone , I saw an Instagram post, James had asked Janis to marry him, "wait what"? I had to go back cause it seemed my eyes were deceiveing me..... it was barely up to a month and they've gone that far? [ wow,guess I was actually the other woman all these while] I thought as I smiled sadly Tapping his profile , I sniffed and unfollowed him, doing the same to Janis account I felt a little weight leave my shoulders To be honest , being with them had been somehow draining, not seeing their faces for days wasn't that bad Touching my stomach, I sighed and stood up [ guess it is high time I push all that behind and focus on us] [ now let's start getting used to these walls] Putting on a veil around my shoulder I walked towards to door Coming downstairs i saw workers moving about " busy day huh" I spoke not expecting a reply But then " yes Luna,
Feeling relieved, Lara followed Crane Frowning Feeling her behind him , Crane turned back with speed and Lara hit her small head into his chest " what was that for huhh"? Lara said as she rubbed her forehead Frowning Crane held her hand and dragged her outside " and you are coming with me ,now"! [ not again, oh gosh] Lara thought in her head and rolled her eyes internally " stop this ! I can walk by myself, your actions will make me dizzy .... Crane stoop" Lara tried to free herself but his grip was quiet tight , if she tried to force it , she might as well just get herself injured Reaching Lara's room , Crane shut the door tightly " I told you we had to discuss and you ran away the moment we got in huh"? Crane said and Lara gulped Great. the heroic moment had just passed , now Lara looked like a scared dog " I'm talking to you Lara! , oh where has the strong motherly woman gone to? I thought you had the face to talk back at me a while ago " Crane said and
Leaving Corey's mansion , Janis entered on of the cars and they headed straight for home .... James's apartment ____________ Meanwhile, the Alpha and his Luna just drove inside their compound Stopping at the entrance and coming out , Crane tossed the keys to one of the guards on standby to park the car properly Crane was too lazy to do that himself Not allowing Crane to say a word to her, Lara held her belly and ran inside Passing Alex, Yousef and Maya, the three of them just starred in shock , Alex on the other hand was first to Chuckle " and it is about to go down " " where did she go to now"? Crane put his hands in his waist and he walked inside immediately to catch up with Lara But reaching her , " come back here woman , we still haven't talk.... ed" The only response he got was the door slamming right in his face Groaning sofly Crane heard chuckles from two people quietly watching him Turning he saw Yousef " YOUSEF? TO THE BASEMENT NOW!,good
Entering Corey's car and slamming the door a little bit harder than usual, Corey Chuckled " woah there baby girl , can you please be merciful to my door"? he said and started the engine " hmmmhp Let's just leave Corey " I said and nodding his head he drove off Resuming a new week to keep seeing James's face, and not just his face , living with the thought that he was my best friend's man , it was really killing me " oh hey Jan Jan, sorry I didn't notice you all these while , how is it going with you "? James walked up to me few days later during the lunchbreak and spoke to me Others had gone to eat but I was still in my cabin trying to access a file that was sent to me for verification days ago Feeling my heart beat a little bit fast , I turned and smiled , " Jan Jan? seriously? you guys need to look for a better nickname , and yeah everything's going great " [ apart from the fact you belong to someone else] Laughing hard , he pulled one of the seats and sat besi
Janis's pov For years I have always envied Lara, I don't know what she has in her that makes her attract all the good things , always the good things I thought as I sat up on the Corey's bed, touching my sore waist I winced a bit That damn sex addict , he didn't even consider the fact I was carrying his child " my baby will have to understand that his mummy starved his daddy for sooo long " Corey's voice still rang in my head as I tried to get up and go to the washroom " ahhh damit " still feeling hurt I tried by best to stand up Reaching the bathroom , I looked around " hmmm still haven't changed a bit, oh Corey my sweet baby " I smiled and went ahead to clean up Coming out in a white robe, I went towards the table close to the sofa , picking the pack of cigarettes, I took one from the pack and picked up the lighter as well Moving towards the telephone close to the door, I picked it up and dailed the reception " hello boss, need something"? someone picked o
Finally cleaning Maya up , Lara wiped the sweat off her forehead and moved to the little kitchen at the side , feeling weak and using the door handle as support, Lara felt a blue spark ,turning to look at the door handle she saw nothing there , wondering what just happened she tried putting her hand there again But this time she saw a picture! She saw a lady, put her same hand on that door handle and run off Coming back to reality , she became more confused [ what in the world is happening to me?] she said but was distracted from her thoughts when she heard Maya's voice "big sis"? Turning and leaving the kitchen she went and sat directly besides her " Maya baby, my dear sweet child, what happened to you huh? do you know how worried you made big sis"? Maya rubbing her eyes to make sure she wasn't dreaming " big sis"? " yess, yess its me baby in flesh " Lara said as her eyes welled up again " big siss waaaaah" Maya hugged her directly and started crying " big
What on earth was James doing with his life? why Maya? , very sure this is Janis's doing, she never liked Maya for a second .... She always called her a sick girl "you know Lara, you should keep her away when you and James get married, she will surely bring bad luck , gosh look at her " I remembered Janis telling me that one certain time when Maya fainted and I had to leave work , which led to my one week suspension at work, because I left without taking permission Kneeling down besides her , tears filled her eyes and she used her shaky hands to touch her face " oh Maya my dear, what. how ... what happened "? Moving the people out his way , Yousef calmed down when he saw his Luna Kneeling down unharmed , ' what relationship did she have with this child? Bending down besides Lara " Luna we can't stay here any longer, let's take her and leave , we'll tend to her wherever we're going to" He said and without much stress he picked Maya up and stretched his hands for La
Finally Catching up with James, met him coming back with his hands on his waist " Jam.. baby , did you find maya? I.. I spoke out of annoyance earlier " Janis voice became so calm and her face showed pity, but God knew she barely meant anything she was saying there at thelat moment Not even giving her a face James walked straight back home, entering the house Janis still trailed behind him " Maya, my baby sis.. whe.. where are you , please my beautiful baby" James kept mumbling , he was already sweating hard as his eyes turned red slowly Entering finally , breathing hard , Janis starred at James , he didn't even wait for her, he let a pregnant woman stress so much " James say something , you left me behi...." But James had had enough , turning he did what he never Believed he'll ever do ... He slapped Janis, a hot slap with force which shocked her , leaving her frozen at the spot " YOU"! James pointed at Janis. " in just one month you ruined everything for me! you.
Entering the elevator, Lara's grip lossened a bit she whispered " umm Cra... alp.... you can put me down now" Acting like he didn't hear Crane held her even more tighter but gently With a 'ding' sound the elevator opened and Crane walked out first Yousef ,Alex then two bodyguards followed behind With long strides the men reached the reception fast , and it was lunch time so workers were free to roam round Seeing their CEO carrying a woman in his arms , some ladies were speechless, most of their hearts were shattered, while the guys felt a little relieved " oh yeahhh now I can shoot my shot hehe" the first guy said as he looked towards the direction of one of the female workers " oh my God , when did the CEO get a lady? gosh my chances are ruined " a dark skinned lady spoke " you think too highly of yourself , the Boss will never notice you, you have been here for 2 years already you know " another colleague said and the rest laughed Hearing their chitchat Cr
Crane's pov.. From the moment I woke up , that has been the longest I've stayed unconscious and it is all that woman's fault, what exactly is she ? and how on earth did I even get entangled with her? If not for the fact she is currently carrying my child, she won't even see the light of the day ever again ! Still confused about why Alex was so annoyed with what happened, he even disrespected me! And what in earth did he mean by I should apologize? No way a whole Alpha would admit and say sorry Out of anger I rushed to dress up , not even having my breakfast I left for work ,coming to work was yet another trouble, my employees were all acting like children .. And when I thought all was well after ending the meeting Lara showed up at the hospital? What exactly does she want from me? I just had mixed feelings , I actually wanted to know how she was doing but my pride and fury took over when I saw her unhurt So what was Alex thrashing about earlier this morning? Exci
