JANE
I wondered how she knew that I was pregnant, my stomach wasn’t growing yet and there was no way it was
noticeable.
“How did you know?” I asked, my voice laced with surprise. There was no way she was going to know about the
pregnancy and the way she asked meant that none of the boys had told her about it yet.
“Your scent, it’s mixed with that of your baby,” she pointed out and my lips curved to form an ‘o!
So, that was how she knew. I had totally forgotten that they were werewolves and could perceive scent. But I couldn’t because I didn’t have my wolf, Ella, with me.

I have tried reaching out to her in the past few years, but it was as if she never existed before. I knew she was in there, but she wasn’t responding to me at all.
“Look, Cecelia, I am sorry that you had to hear what I said at the restaurant, but I had no option than to do what I did and I don’t regret it, though it was a bit embarrassing, but I would have still done it again, “I told her and she stared at me for a moment before bursting into laughter.
I didn’t know why she was laughing, but at least, it didn’t sound like she was mocking me. So I was able to get comfortable, thinking that she might not be as bad as I thought.
I’m sorry for making you feel uncomfortable in the room, I just needed to clarify things first before getting to know you,” she said and I nodded, indicating that it was no problem.
What about your mate? Why aren’t you living with him?” She asked.
My mate rejected me and sent me away from the pack, “I confessed and she gasped.” He is the Alpha of the pack, “I added, smiling sadly as I played with my fingers.
“I’m sorry,” she apologized and I snorted, raising my head to look at her.
Why are you sorry? You did nothing wrong, “I told her. I didn’t know why people always apologize when something bad happens to another person when they weren’t the ones at fault, just like what she did.

How did you and the guys meet then? It isn’t possible for you to have known them while you were in your pack, right?” She asked and I nodded in affirmation.
“Of course, there is no way I would have met them over there. Meeting them was more of a coincidence, but I met Stanley first, “I confessed. I felt like she had the right to know, Stanley was her mate after all.
“I thought you met Alpha Victor first since he seemed to care a lot more about you than the others do,” she admitted, but I shook my head in response. “How did the both of you meet, then?” She asked.
“It was the day I got rejected, we met a few hours before my mate rejected me. That time, I didn’t know who he was, nor his name and status. We then met again the next day in a restaurant while I was trying to find where to stay. My mate had sent me away, so I began trekking and ended up in that restaurant, deciding to eat first before doing anything else, “I started.
That was when I met him again and he was the first to notice that I was pregnant. He then took him to his house for me to spend the night there since I had no place to go and the next day was when I met John. I went to search for a job and I got kidnapped. While trying to escape, I fainted and John saw me and saved me, bringing me to this place, “I continued.
“He decided I should live here after hearing my story and since I had nowhere to live, I agreed with him. It was that night I saw Stanley and David and I also figured out that Stanley was the Beta of this Pack. That didn’t take long though, everything happened in the span of one week,” I finished explaining to her and she nodded her head slowly in understanding-
“You must have been through a lot, I can’t imagine how hard it must have been for you to go through all that alone, with your pregnancy,” she nudged at my belly and I looked down at it, like I was just noticing it.
“I don’t know why, but it feels like I’m carrying a pregnancy. I feel very light like nothing is inside of me at all. But I believe it’s because the belly hasn’t started to grow yet. Maybe when it does, it would be more clear to me. Aside from feeling nausea and a little bit dizzy, I don’t think there is anything else that I’m going through, “I told.
her.
But, that’s wrong, right? They are Alpha babies, so it was going to take a lesser time for the baby to get matured and because of that, they would have to suck nutrients from their mother’s womb in order to develop faster. So, I advise you to eat as much as you can because it will grow quickly,” she advised.
Are you a midwife?” I asked, trying to tease her, but she shook her head.
My mother was a midwife, so I learnt those things from her,” she answered.

What did she mean by‘ was‘? Why did she classify it that way?.
Before I could ask her the question on my mind, John, David and Stanley came downstairs, walking towards us. It was as if they had their own meeting upstairs and they were done with it already.
Jane, I need to apply ointment on your legs before it swells up more,” he pointed out, grabbing my wrist and pulling me to the dining room. He sat down and placed my legs on his lap, and began applying the ointment on the swelling.
All of a sudden, my heart began beating rapidly, giving me a type of feeling I could explain. I looked at John and
different kinds of emotions overwhelmed me.
What the hell is this?
