Chapter 24
JANE
I didn’t know what was wrong with me and why I was feeling that way. It was similar to what I felt for Damien, except that the feelings I had for Damien were more stronger.
Feelings?
It definitely isn’t that. There was no way I would develop feelings for John after what I had gone through with Damien. And I was very certain that John didn’t harbor the same feelings for me.
Besides that, John had a mate, there was no way I was going to come between him and his mate like Lian did to
me.
I prayed silently for him to be done with applying the ointment on my ankle. As soon as he was done, I stood up
from the chair and quickly ran to my room, ignoring the calls of the others.
It wasn’t supposed to be like that, I barely even knew him. My heart was beating rapidly, and I didn’t even know if it was anxiety, fear or the annoying feelings that I was growing to have for him.
I definitely didn’t want this, all I wanted was to be friends with them and nothing more. Besides, I was going to become a mother, I didn’t have the time and energy to harbor those feelings in my heart.
I was going to stop those feelings, it made no sense for me to think that way about him in the first place, we were meant to be just friends.
Just as I was making up my mind to stop falling for him, I heard a knock on my door. I stood up from the bed to open the door, only to see him in front of the door, smiling at me and my eyes widened a bit.
It took me everything not to shut back the door as I had to act like things weren’t awkward for me. I forced out a smile at him, wondering why he was in front of my room.
“I just came to check up on you. You ran out of the living room and didn’t answer anyone when we were calling. you, so the guys agreed that I should come check up on you. Are you okay?” He asked, answering the question that was on my mind. I nodded at him, widening the door for him to enter.
“Yeah, I am. I remembered something that I had to do and that was why I ran like that. Sorry for worrying you,
ו”

apologized.
Strangely, my voice didn’t waiver and I realized that it might not be as complicated and awkward as I presumed.
“You sure?” He asked again and I nodded in assurance.
“You don’t need to worry about me, John, I’ll be fine, “I answered him and he heaved a sigh of relief.
“What about what happened at the restaurant? Are you okay?” He questioned and for a moment, I had to think about what really happened as I had forgotten until I finally remembered it.
”
Of course. I should even be the one apologizing to you guys. You guys are helping me so much and yet, I ended up saying things that didn’t speak good of you. I’m sorry, “I apologized again. Even though I didn’t regret what I did, I had to apologize since I had to do everything to make sure I continued living here.
“It’s fine. You did what you had to do to free yourself from that situation, anyone would have done the same, he defended to my utmost surprise.
What is this? Is he trying to say that because he meant it? Or is it because of something else? Does he have feelings for me too? I thought to myself and he snapped his fingers at my face, making me jolt back to earth, lifting my head up to look at him.

Are you sure you’re okay? You seem lost,” he stated, his voice filled with worry and I forced out a smile, still staring at him.
‘There is no way! He is an Alpha, he would definitely not have feelings for a rejected pregnant wolfless Omega. What he needs by his side is someone capable of ruling his pack by his side and not someone who will bring more baggage to him, “I thought again and I agreed to myself, deciding to forget about and control any feelings that were growing within me.
“I’m sure. I’ve told you, you don’t need to be worried about me, “I assured him again and he visibly relaxed.
“We need to start buying things for your babies, so we have to go for a scan first to check their identities. Since it is of an Alpha blood, one of them will be a male child,” he stated confidently and even though I wanted to say something to kill the pride he was having, I decided not to say anything.
“I don’t want to bother you anymore, John, you are already doing enough for me. All I need is a job so I can be able to take care of the things they will be needing, “I told him.

“But……” he tried to argue, but I raised my hands to stop him from saying anything.
“I want to be able to care for my children by myself, John, I don’t want the help of anyone in this. That’s why I want to find a job, to be able to fend for them all by myself,” he insisted and he let out a sigh, which indicated that he couldn’t argue further with me.
“I can’t force you if you don’t want me to help you, you’re the mother and you know what you want the most. I’ll help you get a job that won’t be stressful for you, like I promised,” he assured me and I thanked him.
After he had left, I went back to the bed to lie down, feeling tired already because of all the stress I went through
today.
As I was trying to sleep, a thought popped up in my mind and that was when realization hit me.
It was that moment that I realized why Damien rejected me
