“I'll meet her tomorrow, Mother,” | sighed, bored of her ranting. She was about to say something when | ended the call.

| wouldn't be subjected to this torture of going on dates every week with a different woman if | hadn’t broken off my engagement to Zoe.

My inner lycan growled at the thought of that woman. Six months ago, | caught Zoe pleasuring an old man for a f ucking business deal. Cuss that woman.

My eyes were back on Love Chasia again. She was beautiful and from an affluent family, even more wealthy than us. She could make the perfect bride for me. | smiled and stroked her hair. That would shut my parents up for good. | would get a bonus by pis s ing off Carter when he found out. I’d been holding my tongue for so long against him because his pack was larger and stronger than mine, but with the Chasia by our side, we’d be invincible, after all, they were royalty in a sense. Alpha Edward Chasia’s first cousin was the king of Lycans,

| removed that idea from my head. | couldn’t marry Love... She wouldn’t accept me as she refused all my advances in the past. T best thing | could do now is to befriend her as she would want to focus on being a mom if she doesn’t get an abortion. | wouldn’t min

that..

| checked the time on my phone. Love won't be waking up soon, so | went to the restaurant for coffee. Zoe kept calling me, but | ignored her call.

Love’s POV

| was looking at the doctor, shocked. | could not say a word, and so many emotions coursed through me.

I'm Pregnant,” | murmured, bringing my hands to my tummy. A baby was in there, and this doctor was sure about that. He ran all the tests.

The doctor’s lips were moving, but | hadn’t processed what he told me. It came in and out the other ear. How could | have a baby right now? | wasn’t stable enough to bring a child into this world.

“I'm pregnant,” | murmured again. Ellis’ baby is growing within me.

“Yes, you need to come to terms with it, Miss Chasia,” | finally heard what the doctor said before | zoned out again. | was conflicted with my new reality. | was going to raise a child.

Abortion is an option these days-”

No!” 1 shouted. The only words that replayed in my head were abortion. | shook my head fiercely. | didn’t want to kill my baby. It was mine... And Ellis’ love was growing in me.

“Very well then, | will give you some medication suitable to drink during this period, and | advise you to take it easy at work,” the doctor

said with a slight smile, and relief filled me for some reason.

He gave me instructions and left. The door flew open, and David walked in, smiling softly at me. He had a tray of food in his hands.

“How do you feel,” he asked, putting the tray beside me.

“| don’t know,” | whispered. I’m sure he knew | was pregnant seeing how close they were earlier.

‘It's good news,” he was unsure to say that.

| ate my food before David drove me to my building. He insisted on walking me in, so | let him. | sat on the couch, and he wrapped a blanket around me. | smiled in gratitude.

He stayed with me until | fell asleep. | woke up in bed and read the note on the side table.

| called Luis. He answered on the second ring.

“Hi, Love,” he sounded somber, and worried.

‘Luis, is everything alright?” | asked.

“Yes, Toby came over with his new partner... You can imagine how that went,” he said. | felt hurt for my friend.

“I'm sorry, my friend. You'll be alright,” | told him, and he sighed deeply. | could feel the deep sadness in him, and my heart broke. He’s getting married,”

I stayed silent. What could | do or say to comfort him? | often saw him peeking at pictures of when they were together, and being teary

over his ex.

“Would you like to join me here?” | asked. He sighed again.

“| don’t know, Love, I’m not too, right now,” he informed me. | know how bad his heartbreak was when he asked to come with the first time, but now, | do. | wanted to help him. We could heal hearts together. Luis told me he'll think it over, | held off to tell hi the news and decided to keep it to myself for now... Well, not really because my therapist would hear about it on Saturday.

How do you feel about the news?” my therapist, Dr. Banny asked calmly, eyeing me.

“| don’t know, I’m not happy or sad,” confessed.

So, just the way you have been feeling these past two months,” Yes,” My parents thought | was depressed, so they had me talk to a therapist. However, it didn’t feel like depression to me. The first month, | was so lost and distraught over what happened, but now, | felt empty and alone. | did my job diligently and made sure | didn’t slack, but the void was there, getting deeper each day. It couldn’t be filled with work. “Will you contact Ellis to tell him about the pregnancy?” “I don’t know,” | shrugged. | zoned out when he started talking, and my mind was an empty abyss until Ellis’ face flashed through my mind. “What if | don’t forget him? What if | don't fall for anyone else? Will | leave the rest of my life alone?” Those are questions that I've asked myself when | think of him. No, Love, you won’t be alone. You are with a child,” Doc Banny said. A small smile appeared on my lips, “Yes, my child,” +25 BONUS Five Years Later After ten tequila shots and three white Russians, | turned and observed the scenery before me. The music is loud, and the room is starting to spin. My alcohol tolerance was low. | didn’t want to go out, but | was dragged out of the house by Luis. He said | needed to get laid.

and | turned to face him.

| was taken aback by how good-looking he was. Stunning brown and sharp features, | dropped my gaze to stare at him fully. He h smirk on his lips. After our stare down, he placed a drink into my hands, and | dawned it all.

My body was hot and | turned around to kiss his lips. | pulled away a moment to take him in. His lips descended on my neck, and | closed my eyes, enjoying the pleasure he was offering, but suddenly | felt cold. | pulled away, and grabbed my clothes from the floor, tears filling my eyes.

I'm sorry...” | breathed. He was stunned, just looking at me.

“| can’t, | thought | could but | can’t. I’m sorry...” | croaked, he must hate me now. He sighed and held my shoulders gently. “would you like some water?” he asked, but | shook my head, inhaling and exhaling.

“I'm sorry for wasting your time, | should go,” | said, going past him,

and rushing out of the hotel.
