Selene Pov
After the night with Alpha Julian, I decided to keep the incident a secret to myself. I had to wake up early the next morning so he wouldn't wake up to find me lying on his bed.
Guilt stained my heart, I couldn't stop hating myself. What will people think when they realize I had slept with the alpha? They'll think I had a motive from the start of something. I realized I was much more concerned about what people would say than how my relationship with the Alpha would be henceforth.
I was looking forward to seeing the Alpha so we could talk about what happened that night but he was nowhere to be found, When I inquired after him, I was told he went on a business trip. The fifth day after the incident, while I was doing the laundry. Ms. Grace called me to go deliver his breakfast to him in his study room stating that he was back.
I could not stop my palpitating heart as I was anxious to see him again and, most importantly hear what he had to say only to be met with the biggest shock of my life. I knew there was no way the Alpha would like a common maid like me whose parents were known as outcasts and I had yet to see my wolf which made me different from every other member of the pack and seeing him with Tiffany again bred my hatred for him. It was just a one-night stand and there is nothing more to it. I wiped my tears and continued with my chores not knowing that the worst was yet to come.
A few weeks passed and I didn't notice anything strange about myself, but I knew something did occur that night Alpha Julian f****d me. He did release his seed in me.
Most times when I go to the market to purchase some foodstuff, I'd branch to the cheapest clinic to run a test on me. For the first week, nothing came out.
It was a relief to me. But little did I know, even at that time, I was carrying the alpha's child. I started vomiting, and I would feel tired and at that time, I was carrying the alpha's child. I started vomiting, and I would feel tired and the urge to sleep every second. Ms. Grace became my watchman, she would spank me each time she caught me sleeping.
I had no explanation for my actions, even if I did, she never listened to me. The signs and fever were becoming so obvious that I had to sneak out one faithful afternoon to the clinic. It was then I was told that I was two weeks pregnant.
I didn't know how to tell Alpha Julian about it. Even after that night, he never acted like he had done something the previous night. He acted normal, and since then he's been doing perfectly fine with Tiffany back into his life, He acted like I did not exist.
Even if I do want to tell him, will he believe me? He'll probably call me a liar and an imposter, trying to claim another man's child as his.
Ms. Grace seemed to have noticed my condition, one day she walked up to me. "Tell me, Selene, have you been sleeping around at night?" Not like I wasn't expecting something like this coming from her, I just wasn't expecting her to find out so soon.
I raised an eyebrow at her, pretending not to understand what she was trying to say. "Ma'am, I don't understand what you're talking about."
"Nonsense. Don't try to act like you're dumb. You're pregnant, aren't you?" She asked.
I didn't want to tell her, that if I do, she'll cast it and it'll reach alpha Julian's ears.
"No, I'm not. I've been sick for some days now, and the drugs I'm taking are causing me to sleep all the time."
She gave me this look that told me that she didn't believe what I said. In a fast motion, her hand grabbed my breast, causing me to scream. She threw a hard gaze at me, "I see you're a pretty good liar."
"I..."
She cuts in sharply. "Ah... Don't even think about saying a word. Have you forgotten I'm a mother too? So now, who is the father of the child?" She asked.
I shook my head. "There's no father because I am not pregnant." I insisted, keeping a serious face so she wouldn't figure out that I was lying to her.
"I see you still won't admit you've been hanging around all night. Huh?" She put her hand into her pocket, bringing out a white folded paper. "Well, I don't need you to admit it, I have proof already."
My eyes widened. How did this b***h get it from where I hid it? Has she been spying on me?
"Have you been spying on me?" I spat. I didn't mind how rude I sounded, I couldn't hold how angered I was for her to pick up my stuff.
"Hmm. Spying is an understatement. I've got my eyes on everyone, Selene, and you're no exception. Everything you do is under my control, so don't feel too reluctant that you're safe."
"You..." I held myself from cursing her.
"So, do you still have any lie to tell?"
"Give it back, you b***h! Give it..." I struggled to take it from her but she pushed me to the ground.
I felt pain in my abdomen as soon as my butt made contact with the ground. She had left for Alpha Julian's room, and before I could get there, she had already given him the paper.
He carefully read through the lines, folding it back. He raised his head to my side, looking at me like he already knew who the father was.
"Is she right about this?" He asked me.
I didn't say a word.
"Are you deaf?" She sparked. "The Alpha just asked you a question!"
I still didn't say a word.
"How long have you been pregnant?" He asked.
"Two weeks," I answered.
"So, Miss Hart, do you have an explanation for this?" He asked.
"No, I don't."
I notice Ms. Grace looking at me with her dagger eyes. "You don't?" He asked again.
"I don't," I said. "The report isn't active anymore, the child has been aborted already." I lied.
"Hmm." He hummed.
"It's your decision, who am I to question you?" He stretches the paper to me. "You can have it back."
I went to collect the paper. "Thank you," I said to him as I collected it. The way he looked at me gave me goosebumps, reminding me of that night we had slept right in this room.
I took my gaze off him, leaving the room as soon as possible. I didn't mind how annoyed Ms. Felicia was at the moment, I didn't waste a second to tear the medical report into pieces, and I poured water on it so it wouldn't be of use anymore.
Later that night, I walked into Alpha Julian's room with his meal. He was busy with his laptop when I walked in. "Keep it on the table." He instructed.
I did as he had said, turning to leave when his voice sounded. "Stop."
I stopped abruptly at his command. I heard the sound of the chair shift as he stood up, walking to my side. My breath became heavy, my body dancing to my fear.
I stiffened as his presence grew closer to me. "Ms. Grace isn't here anymore, so I'm gonna ask you one more time, who is the father of the child?"
I hesitated. "You... You are the father of the child."
