All Chapters of Cruel Fate: Chained To The Alpha : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Jaselyn's POVWhat?! Ziarre is……pregnant?When I took too long to respond, she panicked.“I'm sorry, it must be such a shock. You probably have your own problems to worry about. It was selfish of me to burden you with this.” She rushed out and I scooted to the edge of the bed, close to her.“No, I'm not burdened at all. I was just not expecting that you would tell me something so important. Thank you for sharing this with me and congratulations.” I corrected and she relaxed, a small smile stretching her lips.“Well, thank you.”“What do you mean by what you said? You haven't told Rion because you're not sure you want to keep it? Why is that?” I asked.“Yes. The thing is, I don't know if I'm ready to have a child yet. I know it's weird for me to say this, considering I work with children but it's truly how I feel. I'm clumsy and a little awkward. I don't know if I'm mature enough to raise a child or if I deserve to have one yet.” She played with her fingers as she spoke, keeping her e

Jaselyn's POV He asked what he was doing wrong and begged me to reconsider but I told him I wasn't good for him. It would be best for him to move on and find someone better.He told me I was the only one he needed and when he still wouldn't budge, I threatened to reject him so he let me go. I somehow managed to suppress my feelings throughout the ordeal but as soon as I was away from him, I broke down and cried like a child.I was miserable and couldn't go to work. My heart was hurting and I wanted to see him, wanted to be held by him.He managed to sneak into my room and caught me in that miserable state. I told him to leave but then he started professing his love for me again and told me he was willing to change into the man I could spend the rest of my life with. I couldn't stand it. I blurted out to him that I was the problem, not him.It was too late to take it back and I gave in to the pressure and told him everything, fully prepared to be rejected but that man surprised me lik

Jaselyn's POV Thankfully, the door swung open at that moment but the visitor was the last person I expected to see. Isla.What is she doing here?Zane quickly pulls away from me while I turn away. I suddenly feel stupid for letting it get to that point, for letting him come so close. If Isla hadn't shown up, would I really have let him kiss me just like that?My hand unconsciously comes to my lips and traces them. Isla's loud voice snaps me back to reality.“I see you're both enjoying yourselves. I almost feel bad for interrupting.” She began sarcastically, her voice dripping with venom.Zane stands up and walks over to her. “Isla, it's not what it looks like.” He denies.“It’s true. You should really put your husband on a tight leash, Isla. He keeps coming onto me like a lost puppy. It's almost like he's forgotten you exist.” I don't miss the opportunity to taunt her and she sneers at me.“Shut up! Just because you're in this state doesn't give you the right to run your mouth. Don't

Jaselyn's POV“This is cause for celebration.” Zane began after breaking from the hug. “A baby should straighten you out, you're sure to act more mature now that you know there'll be a little one looking up to you.”“You're one to talk. The day you outgrow your childishness, you can call me Alpha.” Rion shot back with a grin.“I'm gonna pretend like you didn't just say that. So how's Ziarre? Is she OK?” Zane asked as they both took a seat, seemingly forgetting my presence in the room.I don't feel offended of course, this tends to happen a lot between close friends. Whenever they get into conversation, they seem to forget that the world and everyone else in it exists.“She's fine. She shared the news with me last night and I didn't want to disturb the both of you so I waited till today. She seemed a little unsure at first but after she saw my reaction, she seemed to love the idea of us having a baby. Now she's even more excited than I am.I'm so happy. I won't have to worry when I'm n

Zane's POV“Don’t pretend like you care about me, you asshole! You say I’ll make a great mum but you’re going to take my baby away after they’re born!” She screams at me with tears in her eyes.I want nothing more than to gather her in my arms and reassure her over and over again that I wouldn't do that. I wouldn't separate her from our baby and I wouldn't send her away. I want nothing more than the three of us to be a family— Jaselyn, I and our baby— but I relented.She looked at me expectantly, almost pleadingly but all I could do was break away cowardly. A promise is a promise. Isla will have the child she's always dreamed of, it's the only way I can repay her for everything she's done for me.I'm sorry Jaselyn, please understand. If only things were different. If only you didn't hate me, if only I could put aside my own pride and only think of our happiness. If only……Jaselyn, seeing I wasn't going to give an answer or reassure her that her child wouldn't be taken away from her at
