I am not sure whether it's because of my knowledge about my pregnancy or not but that morning I woke up throwing up. I spent almost half an hour with my head bent down to the sink.

It was as though the baby had finds out about my hatred for it's father and then decided to make my morning hell.

For some moments I wonders how Seraf would feel if I informed him about his baby. I am sure he would be thrilled. Once he had talk about wanting only one two kids whom he'd love with all his heart.

I have a morning class and I am running late. After I freshen up and ready to leave the room, I stop to stare at the empty bed across mine.

Estelle hasn't returned. I haven't seen her since I Came back to the hostel the previous day. I was supposed to wonder where she has been but I do not care anymore.

She has once been my best friend but not anymore. I have planned on going to the counselor to move me to another room.

I walked and headed out of the long hall. I could hear the whispers from the students who were standing in the hall. I know for sure they are gossiping as always about me. But this time it is different. They are mocking me.

I tried to turn deaf ears to their words and finally arrived at the class. As fate would have it, I will be having the lecture with The Stero Twins and they are already in class, everyone seated.

I came late because the professor was there too. I bow slightly in apology and head to sit but then I stop.

All the students were seated with their partners except Bastiano and Seraf. They are not sitting together and of course, they wouldn't accept anyone to sit with them except me.

For some seconds there I watched as Seraf shifted to give me room but I disappointed him by walking toward his twin brother.

Bastiano smiled when I lowered myself beside him and he asked in a whisper.

" How are you today? "

" Healing " I replied sincerely with a smile I gave him.

The professor continued his lectures and I turned my focus on him. However, I am aware of the other student's whispers and also Seraf's unusual silence.

He is a man who'd Force me to do what he wanted but now he is leaving me be.

The lecture passed and finally ended with the Professor saying.

" We will be having a partnership assignment. Those who are seated together should partner up to answer before next week. The assignment details will be posted on the notice board tomorrow without fail. So work hard "

The professor was about to walk away when Seraf spoke up, stopping him.

" I'm not sure if you notice but I am not sitting with anyone so who am I supposed to partner with? "

The professor took his time to look around, ignoring Seraf's rude way of asking. He is after all the Alpha's son and couldn't be dealt with.

" You can join your brother's group, make it three, and do a good job. Good day "

The professor walked out and a few students started to disperse. Those who remain know so well an event will unfold.

I also knew Seraf would come over to me so before that happened, I packed my books, turned to Bastiano, and said my goodbyes.

" Oh, shouldn't we discuss the assignment before you leave? " He asked urgently and I stopped, knowing fully well I shouldn't say no.

" How about we meet up in the library after an hour? " I asked and he nodded.

" No problem "

After hearing his reply, I turned towards the exit but my name was called by that familiar Voice which made me halt.

" Can we talk? " Seraf asked behind me. " It's important "

I turned to him. If he thinks his charm will work on me now I tend to make him start thinking twice.

" I have nothing to say to you, " I told him with a feeling of misery washing over me. " Goodbye "

This time he stopped me by catching my wrist. I nearly yelled out. I am frustrated enough and I wish to have time alone.

I looked up at him and his eyes flashed in somewhat agony before he said.

" Hayven, the video you saw yesterday is true " He confessed, and quickly he added. " I came home, and took off my clothes to freshen up but I never knew Estelle was behind me "

I almost laughed out loud. What did he take me for? A fool?

" You are a werewolf," I said quietly. " One of the most powerful breeds there is in this universe. On top of that you are an Alpha's son. Your mother was a Luna. You might even be the next Alpha once your father dies. Do not tell me your acute sense of smell isn't working. Even if you didn't see Estelle come into your home as you claim, shouldn't you perceive her scent? "

I waited for an answer and I saw him battle with himself in silence before he said.

" No. I didn't perceive her scent "

I began to wriggle free from his clutch, telling myself Serafino Stero is full of bullshit when quickly he said.

" Estelle will testify to my words, Hayven. Please give me a minute. I will call her here to speak the truth "

At the corner of my eyes, I saw Bastiano stand up from his seat as though eager to know the real truth. I didn't bother to look around the class to know the students were all interested too.

I was left with no choice. I would love to hear Estelle's side of the story.

Seraf considered my silence as a yes. He quickly picks his cell phone and made a call. After some seconds he turned to me and said.

" She will be here shortly "

Truth to his words, Estelle appears in no time. Her eyes were laced with regret and sadness.

I watched as Seraf ordered her to tell me everything that had happened and I noticed again that Bastiano walked forward, almost preventing Estelle from confessing but he was too slow. Estelle had parted her lips.

" I am sorry, Hayven. I ... I have always been envious of you. Having a devoted father isn't enough, but you are also mated to one of the Alpha's sons. Of course, I am allowed to be angry at this. So I began to seduce Seraf for weeks until he finally gave in to my demand "

Immediately Seraf's expression changes. He whirled around to glare at Estelle.

" Bullshit! What are you talking about Estelle? "

" What else? You ask for the truth and I am saying it "

Seraf's jaw dropped but he didn't interrupt anymore. He only stands there to listen as Estelle continues.

" We fuck just once, Hayven. It's nothing to be angry at. You know already that Seraf can't be yours alone. He has the energy and a sizeable package to satisfy many of us in bed "

She is taunting me and it is working which I hated. My vision came blurry as tears clouded my eyes. I sighed in utmost frustration and then headed out, actually fleeing. I was almost at the entrance when Estelle's voice came through, mocking.

" You wouldn't ask how I feel when he is inside of me, huh Hayven? I can't believe you called yourself my best friend and you kept a young man like this away. Isn't that too cruel dear Hayven? "

Fury washes over me like never before. The urge to strangle Estelle came through, almost taking over me but I held on. I must have spent my strength retraining myself because I suddenly feel lightheaded. I swayed in my feet and the next I knew was the Stero twins rushing to my rescue but this time I decided to stand my ground.

" Seraf? " I called and he stopped. His eyes were clear and steady. He seemed to have known what I'd say. " Let's break up "

I am so sure now that It's over. I better end it to stay sane. I had to let him go so I could have peace of mind. That's my thoughts. That's all I could think about. The feebly reason I can think of.

There is no reaction in his eyes. He is emotionless and I wonder if he never cares about it in the first place.

" You won't be able to get over me " He replied, stunning me. " You won't, Hayven. Trust me "

I set my jaw when I realized He was right. I won't be able to forget the delirious days of passion we have once shared but I wanted to make him start thinking differently. I desperately wish to prove him wrong.

" You mean nothing to me anymore, " I told him. " Nothing at all "

" Don't tell lies to my face, Hayven. We both know you are head over heel in love with me "

" That's going to change. Trust me "

" Trust you? Damn it! You never trust me "

He is mad now. He is letting out his emotions and I do not wish to be there when he started displaying his fury. I glared once at him. The last stare I planned on giving him before I walked out of him for the first time in my life.

The decision is finalized now. Nothing should remind me of Serafino Stero anymore. I'd get rid of his baby and try to heal. No falling in love, no heartbreak.
