Chapter 26
**FIVE MONTHS LATER**
JANE
My babies were due to be born in a few weeks, which was going to be six months of pregnancy. Ordinary werewolf babies were always carried for seven months but since mine had an Alpha blood, I was due in six months.
Damien still didn’t know that I was carrying his child and I liked it that way. I hadn’t even talked to him since the last time he insulted me five months ago and I didn’t plan on doing that ever again.
I heard no news about him again, like he didn’t exist anymore. No news about him, the pack or his wife, I was just trying to live my life.
I was still living with John and the others. Stanley and Cecelia got married two months ago when they
discovered that she was already pregnant for him and the both of us have been buying things we would need for our babies.
The room that we would be using for our kids has been decorated. I was having a male and a female child, while Cecelia was having a male child, who was going to be the Beta of their pack.
Like I anticipated, she and I had gotten close, so close that we kept no secret from each other. She was my best friend and I could tell that I was the same as her as she had no friends except for us in the house.
As for John and I, our relationship had surpassed that of friendship and our feelings for each other were very clear.
“According to him, his mate was dead already and that gave me the opportunity to be able to develop and
express my feelings for him.
But, I wasn’t ready to date him, at least, not yet. I still had to give birth to my kids before thinking of starting a relationship with anyone, but my feelings for him had gotten deeper than I anticipated, we had even kissed.
Everyone in the house already knew that John and I had feelings for each other, some of the pack members included as I had gotten close to some of them, especially Alec and his mate.

I have also been initiated as a member of their pack, getting access to mindlink whomever I wanted to, wherever I went to.
Just like John promised, he got me a job that wasn’t stressful at all and also paid very well. I was working part time, but I would start full time after I have safely delivered and that would increase my salary.
As usual, I woke up by five am today again and went downstairs after freshening up. Stanley was cooking and I joined him, just like we have been doing for the past few months and that was the only time we had to spend time with each other, because he had to look after his pregnant mate and also work as a Beta in the pack.
Good morning, “I greeted chirpily and d.je smiled at me. He had gotten so used to me helping him every morning that he would have to wait for me before he started cooking.
“I don’t need to ask, you slept well,” he pointed–out, giving me a side hug due to my protruding belly and I chuckled, nodding.
Aside from the cramps and little pain I had when in the middle of the night, which I was able to control, I had a good night. What about you, Stanley?” I answered before asking my own question.
“I had to tend to Cecelia cravings, so I barely got any sleep,” he pouted and I stuck out my tongue at him, mocking him.
We entered the kitchen and started making breakfast, having random conversations as we did.
Jane,” he called me and I hummed in response. “When do you plan on dating John?” He asked, taking me by surprise since I wasn’t expecting that question from him.
“I don’t plan on doing that soon,” I answered truthfully.
“Why? The both of you certainly have feelings for each other, so why don’t you want to date him?” He asked again, being curious.
I am pregnant, Stanley, I cannot date someone else while carrying another man’s child. Besides, I still have to take care of my kids when they are born, I definitely have no time to date for now,” I explained to him, but he stared at me, not looking convinced.
“Is that all? Or is there more to the story?” He asked, but I didn’t understand what he was talking about, so I raised a brow, giving him a quizzical look and he sighed..

Jane, you have been living with us for five months now, and we have been cooking together every morning. At least, I know you to some extent. You hate Damien, and you’re not the kind of person who tries to act loyal, especially after being betrayed,” he started and I kept staring at him, wondering where he was heading to.
You cannot date John because you’re scared, not because you are pregnant,” he pointed out and that made me stifle a laugh.
“What the hell are you talking about, Stanley? What would I be scared of?” I questioned, my voice laced with
amusement.
“You’re scared of getting heartbroken. You don’t want to face the same situation you did when you were mates with Damien. You are scared of getting committed to him and what people would say,” he continued and I pursed my lips together, unable to say anything as he was right.
There was no way I would date John when I don’t know if I could trust him. Several doubts ran through my mind. whenever I wanted to think of the possibility of being in a relationship with him. I still had no wolf, what if he met someone that was better than me, just like Damien did?
Is he telling the truth, Jane?” John asked, coming downstairs and I turned to him, my eyes widening in surprise.
He had been eavesdropping on our conversation and heard everything Stanley and I talked about!
