" I think I might be pregnant, " I admitted in between cries. His eyes widened in hearing what I said and he instantly pulled me inside, closing the door as he engulfed me in a hug.
I cried on his shoulders, unsure of what I was going to do if my assumptions were correct. Unsure of how I was going to survive with the pup of an Alpha inside of me
" Are you sure about what you're saying? " He asked and I showed him the glowing mark on my shoulder for confirmation, as well as my reddened palms.
He let out a shaky breath as he went to sit down on the couch, using his palms to rub his face.
" And you want to run away? " He asked again and I went closer to him, nodding my head. There was no way I was going to let my child be born in the kind of suffering Victor was giving me.
" He wouldn't believe me if I told him he was the father of the baby. There is no n
" You're pregnant? " She asked loudly and I put a finger on her lips, indicating for her to be quiet before nodding. " For Alpha Victor's baby? " She asked again, this time in a hushed whisper and I nodded again." Wow! What a sickening plot twist this is, " she commented and I giggled, placing a hand over my mouth. " So, what do you plan on doing? You can never tell him about the baby, " she stated." That's why Gabriel and I are planning to run away from this pack. We're going to his mother's side in Australia, " I informed her and she bit her lower lip." Is that not risky? If the both of you get caught, it will surely not be a good thing. We don't make decisions that affect us, right? But you seem to be doing that lately, " she pointed out." That's because I'm trying to protect the people I love. I can't think of myself right now, staying in this pack with a baby mean
VICTOR BLOODBORNEA knock was heard on the door while Uncle Unkar and I were having a conversation. After a ' come in ' from me, my guard came inside the office, bowing at us." Alpha, we have some unusual movement from Beta Gabriel, " he informed me and I glanced at my Uncle before turning back to him." What unusual movement? " I asked him." I'm not really sure, but he seems to be doing something discreetly. He is being very sly with it and that's what made me suspect something, " he replied and nodded slowly, rolling my tongue inside my cheeks." Look into it, and get back to me if you find anything useful, " I ordered and he bowed again before walking away." What is Gabriel up to? " Uncle Unkar asked and I shrugged, there was no way I was to know about it." I'm going to find out, " I responded.
VICTOR BLOODBORNESerena and I were having wine in the dining room, talking and reminiscing over the past when a guard ran inside the room panting heavily." What the hell is wrong with you?" Serena scolded, eyeing him with contempt and he bowed in apology." I'm sorry, Alpha, Gamma, but I have urgent news for the both of you, " he said and Serena glanced at me before turning back to look at him, motioning for him to speak up." Beta Gabriel has been confirmed dead, " he announced and Serena stood up abruptly, her eyes widening in surprise. I raised my head to look at him to see if there was any hint of a lie in his eyes, but there was none. He wouldn't even dare to lie about something like that." How the hell did that happen? He was fine when I saw him this morning, " Serena asked him." He was shot twice in the chest by an arrow
" What did you just say? " He bellowed, but I stood straight, not willing to back off from the fight I had started." You heard me well Victor, I am declaring my intentions. You messed with the wrong person and I am going to prove that to you, " I assured. He pushed me to a wall, pinning my chest with his elbow." How dare you? " He growled at me. " Wife or not, I am your Alpha, you don't get to challenge my authority, ".I wanted to talk, but what came out from my mouth was blood, spilling on his arms. His angry look was taken over by surprise and fear, releasing me instantly. The mark had begun to overpower me and like Gabriel said, I was already losing blood because of the baby." What is this? " He asked, pointing at the blood on his arms." It's none of your business, " I uttered, averting my gaze from him." Nothing? Blood sp
" No, " I informed, but she shook her head. There was no way I would let her put her life at risk after I had managed to secure it for her." I'm not going to let you do this alone, Maya, " she informed me, but I shook my head also." We've talked about this, why are you trying to back off on your word now? "." I said so because I felt you were in safe hands with Gabriel if you left the pack. Now, he's dead, I cannot stay here while you try to endanger your life. We are doing this together, " she insisted, reminding me of Gabriel's death again. My eyes got teary, but I blinked furiously to send the tears back." And I said no, Julia, why can't you listen to me? " I snapped at her, raising my voice slightly." I'm not going to listen to you this time around since you're not listening to me about your revenge. We have been stuck with each other si
CHAPTER FIFTY FIVEJulia and I kept on walking farther away as possible from the Bloodfang Pack. Luckily, we hadn't been initiated into the pack yet, so there was no use of severing any ties with them.I was tired and wanted to rest, but I kept on going. I couldn't stop now that we had successfully escaped from them. There was still a chance for them to find us if they noticed our disappearance, so there was no stopping for us, at least, for now.We got to a river, making sure to avoid the border of every pack in order not to be captured as rogues and we refilled our bottles and washed our faces." You should wait here, I'll find some fruits for us to eat, " Julia offered and ran off before I could even protest. I exhaled and sat on the ground, taking a look at my swollen leg." Where is our next destination from this place? " She asked, coming to sit next to me as
MAYAJulia woke me up from my sleep, urging me to stand up so we could continue our journey. I stretched my body, groaning as I tried to stand up from the ground I was sleeping on.It was still dark, but the crows of the roosters were what made me know that it was morning already. I yawned sleepily as we began our journey again, trying to walk faster than we were supposed to.We saw another river and ran to it, crouching as we rinse our mouth before continuing our journey." They should have figured out about our absence, right? " Julia asked and I nodded in affirmation, imagining how things would be.' Is Victor going to be worried? ' I couldn't help but think, even though I knew there was a eighty percent chance that he wasn't going to give a fuck about me." What are you thinking about? " Julia asked me
" Come with me, we have been expecting your arrival, " the man said and the both of them walked away. Julia and I glanced at each other, deciding to follow them.We got into the main pack and a gasp left my mouth. Surely, Australia was very different from the Bloodfang Pack. The buildings were tall and made mostly of glass. The grounds were clean and every section had a tag to recognize it because all the buildings looked alike." Maya? " I saw a middle-aged woman walking towards us and I recognized her as Carissa, Gabriel's mother. I walked faster, getting to her and she pulled me in for a hug, weeping on my shoulders." I'm sorry, " I apologized as tears fell from my eyes too. " I'm so sorry that I couldn't protect Gabriel, it's all my fault, " I blamed myself, but she shook her head and released me from her grip." It's not your fault, Darling. The Goddess has taken him
