She murmurs, keeping her voice low.
My heart thumps as my nerves begin to get the better of me.
“What is it?”
“Jai somehow saw the pregnancy report, and-“
“What!”
Fear envelops me and I grip the low fence that runs along the side of the flower shop.
“Calm down, Zaia, I’ve handled it. He told Sebastian, but I managed to lie and said to him that you miscarried because of the rejection.”
My eyes widen. “You… what did he say?”
I don’t know why, but I want to know.
“Well, he looked more upset than I thought he would.”
“D-did he believe it?”
I ask, placing a hand on my belly protectively. I am five and a half months into my pregnancy and because I am carrying twins, my belly is rather big already.
“I think so, but Jai didn’t.”
I close my eyes, feeling sick as she continues. “But don’t worry, I’ve talked to him and he understands.”
“A-alright,”
I say, hearing footsteps I tense. “Well, I have to go, but please call me again when you have more time.”
“I will. Sebastian’s parents have just returned. This will be interesting.”
“Thank you Val, for everything.”
I say, truly grateful for having such an amazing friend.
“Never thank me. What are friends for?”
She says before she hangs up and I frown.
Mother-in-law is back? I knew from Valerie that although Annalise had moved into the mansion, that she is still not Luna and that Sebastian is keeping the divorce a secret.
I wonder how his parents would take it.
I turn as none other than the Alpha of the pack comes into view. A smile on his handsome face, hisdark grey eyes are glittering with warmth and his light brown hair flops over his forehead. He’s tall, over six feet for sure, perhaps almost as tall as Sebastian.
He fills out his shirt well, the fabric straining against his muscles.
Alpha Atticus Payne is 26 years old, single and an Alpha that his entire pack loves. He is nothing like how Sebastian or his father portrayed him.
“Zaia, I was looking for you.”
He says, his voice is deep and husky.
I smile smoothly, despite how I feel. “Oh?”
“Yes, how are you doing?”
“Great.”
I reply, seeing how he’s observing me sharply. “Oh! Mrs Watson told me about the ball. It sounds lovely.”
That makes him smile, and he nods, crossing his arms. “Actually, I wanted to talk to you about that. You should definitely come. I think it will do you good too. You should get out more Zaia.”
“Oh, I don’t know, I mean, I won’t really fit in…”
I trail off helplessly, not knowing how to politelyrefuse him.
I know he flirts lightly and has taken an interest in me, but I have always brushed it off. I don’t understand why as I am a pregnant single mother.
“No, you won’t, because you were born to stand out.”
He winks at me and my smile fades as my heart skips a beat.
“Alpha, I-“
“Atticus, Zaia, call me Atticus.”
He reminds me for the umpteenth time.
I nod, unable to bring myself to do that.
I don’t think he’ll be smiling at me if he knew I was the daughter of a rival alpha and the mate of his greatest enemy. Even if it is a rejected mate.
His phone rings, and I am relieved for the distraction.
“Yeah?”
He answers the phone, a frown now settling on his brow. “Wait… what?”
He takes a few steps away from me, and his shoulders are tense.
What is going on?
“Really? Well… Yeah, that’s fine, up the security plans around the venue and pack grounds. We can never be too careful. Why now? I mean, he has always refused every invitation sent to him… good… Yeah, hold a meeting, let’s discuss this in person.”
He hangs up and turns back to me. Hisplayful mood from earlier is gone.
“Is everything alright?”
I ask.
“Yeah, it will be. I just have something to take care of. I really want to see you at that ball, Zaia.”
I nod, not knowing if I really will go. “I hope it all gets sorted soon and I’ll keep it in mind.”
He looks down at his phone and nods slowly. “Me too. He’s never wanted anything to do with us, orconsidered my offers, but now… he’s possibly interested in accepting the invitation to the New Year’s Ball.
I look up sharply, curiosity filling me.
“Who?”
I ask, an unsettling feeling wraps around me as I wait for his answer.
“Alpha Sebastian King of Dark Hollow Falls Pack.”
My heart thuds, my eyes widening and I look up at Atticus to find he is watching me intently.
“Is everything alright, Zaia?”
I gulp, trying to force a smile, “Yes, I… I’ve heard of his reputation, Alpha Sebastian King is quite known for his power and reputation.”
I lie, feeling uncomfortable under his sharp gaze.
I must be careful. “Yes, he does have quite a reputation.”
He murmurs, his gaze is unsettling but I’m far more terrified that Sebastian will find out about the babies.
I must avoid him at all costs, there is no way that I can risk him finding out and taking them away from me. My babies are all that I have left, they are my reasons to live.
“Don’t let it unsettle you, the pack will be well protected, and I’m certain he isn’t a baby snatcher.”
Atticus jokes lightly, making me freeze, and I realise I’m clutching my belly.
“Oh… No it’s just something I do when I’m distracted! We must make sure the pack is indeed safe.”
I reply, brushing it off as I force a smile.
He nods slowly, but it is his next words that send a shiver down my spine.
“Oh absolutely, we can’t have the enemy walking around unwatched.”
ZAIA.
I wasn’t able to focus on anything properly after that and asked Mrs Watson if it was alright to leave early as I am not feeling too good.
Taking my leave I hurry home, desperate to tell Mom what has happened. Reaching the small two- storey home that we are renting, I unlock the door and step inside, greeted by the dark hallway.
