Chapter 10
At that time, people only assumed that Althea didn’t come out because she was afraid of the people’s wrath, that’s why she avoided the people by hiding inside the alpha’s quarter.
All of the people knew how much alpha Killian loved Willow and when they learned Althea had killed her own sister, they could see the wrath of the alpha.
Not a single soul dared to stand between the alpha and Althea when he took her away with him. They would be crazy to sacrifice their life by saying something about it.
Not even Brian and Abigail said something about Althea, because they were grieving the lost of their daughter, thinking whatever Killian did to Althea, she deserved it since she killed her own sister.
“Pregnant?” Brian was taken aback with the news. He s**ed back. This was news that he didn’t expect at all.
“Yes.”
Killian didn’t want to talk more. He didn’t want to discuss this matter, neither he wanted to answer any question. His only goal was to have Althea back. They were going to have their first child. She wouldn’t be able to go anywhere even if she wanted to, since there was a baby that they had to think of right now.
This time Brian didn’t stop the alpha and spout more nonsense to forgive his first daughter.
It didn’t take long before the shocking news reached Abigail and Willow and the latter wailed painfully, thinking she was going to lose Killian forever.
“No! No! This couldn’t happen!” Willow cried her eyes out, while Abigail tried to comfort her. “I should be the one, birth to his firstborn. I should be the one, who is pregnant with the future alpha of the pack!”

“Willow, please, calm down, please calm down…” Abigail was crying, she didn’t feel good to see how her daughter was upset!
“Enough!” Brian finally snapped. “That’s your fault! That’s your fault to leave the pack! Now, you should bear the consequences!”
“Brian!” Abigail snapped back at her mate. “How could you reprimand her when she is already down? We need to support
her!”
“You spoiled her too much! That’s why she turned out like this!” Brian was having none of it. “She caused her own sister to be accused as a murderer and now she returned and wanted everything to go back to normal?!”
“She met with her destined mate! You know how strong the mate bond is! Even the alpha couldn’t resist to take Althea because she was his destined mate!”
Willow cried even harder. “I am going to see him! I am going to see him!” She struggled to free herself from her mother’s grip, as she headed toward the door.
However, Brian’s words stopped her.
“You don’t need to bother. You are already very late. The alpha must have left to the harbor, he found a clue about Althea’s whereabouts and he is on his way to the Main Island.”
“What do you mean…?” Willow was visibly trembling now. Tears streamed down her cheeks, as she screamed. “No! Why would he look for her?! I am here! I comeback for him!”
“Are you feeling better?” Alex asked, he handed her a glass of water. She still looked a little bit shaken up. He didn’t know

what she had gone through, but he was sure it was not a fond memory for her.
“Th- thank you…” Althea took the glass, but her body language told Alex to stay away from her.

Seeing that, Alex kept his distance from her. He didn’t want to make her felt uncomfortable and put her under so much stress. She was pregnant and he knew it wouldn’t be good for her baby.
He knew that much. A year ago, he learned about pregnancy excessively after all, thus he had enough knowledge about it.
“Feeling better now? Do you want more?” Alex was very patient, he looked at her gently.
“No.” Althea shook her head. “I am sorry if it sounded rude, but can you leave now?”
Alex chuckled. She was being very polite right now, even though she was the one, who was troubled here. “I will leave once I am sure that you are fine.”
“I am fine. I am really fine…” Althea nodded her head to emphasize her answer.
Alex nodded. “I will leave after I clean up the dining table, okay?
“N-no, no need for that, I will do it.”
However, Alex didn’t accept the answer. “I will really leave after I clean the dishes. You better lay down and take a rest. You have put so much stress on your baby.”
Althea wanted to retort, but Alex had gone to the dining area and clean the dishes. He did it clumsily, but she could see that he was very genuine when he said he was going to help her.
Somehow, watching him moving around in her small kitchen was very comforting, probably because deep down she knew that this man wouldn’t hurt her. Or maybe, Althea was simply very tired from everything that had been going on in her life.
Therefore, once her head touched the pillow and she closed her eyes, sleep came to her very easily and the moment Alex was done with his task, he went to check on her.
“Sleep well, Althea,” Alex said, he put a blanket over her body to keep her from cold.
He didn’t know what she had gone through, but he had this strong desire to keep her by his side. His subject would say how crazy he was, especially Northern and Greyson. He would say that he had gone insane.

However, Alex couldn’t care less about what they were going to say. He only wanted to keep this woman close to him.
“I will come back again later.” Alex stared at her bulging stomach. “Keep your mother safe, okay. I will keep both of you safe.”
