CHAPTER 5

1094 Words
Amanda is gradually embracing motherhood after a month-old pregnancy. She's sad each time she recalls she won't have access to the baby after childbirth. However, she accepted her fate and vowed to stay strong until the baby is born. Begging Alpha Fabian to still retain her would be quite an impossible task. For someone who doesn't like her. He doesn't even find her pretty or fascinating. If it wasn't for the pregnancy, she wouldn't dare speak to him or come anywhere close to his quarter. . The pregnancy was already making Amanda experience some mood swings, which are most common with pregnant women. She has gained 4 kilograms of weight. Her heartbeat and breathing rate are now faster compared to her previous condition. Although, She feels drastic changes in her body as her hormones are slowly undergoing fresh growth. She usually feels severe pains in the lower tummy area, which is caused by her growing womb. "Why haven't you eaten anything yet? You need nutrients to nurture the baby,” Fabian indicated and showed concern like an expectant father. He only cares about the child's well-being and would do anything to please Amanda before she does anything stupid to harm the baby. Engaging her in a conflict might result in pregnancy intricacies that he wouldn't want to happen. "Stop being nice to me. I hate it! We both know this pregnancy is the only reason you're acting this nice. Stick to your beast mode. You're better than this character you're trying so hard to portray. I know the games you're playing. I'm not a fool,” Amanda stunned him. "You're so difficult and unpredictable. Bullshit! Suit your f*****g self.” Fabian frowned and looked away. "I detest every minute I dwell in this place. I'll never agree to be your bride for a sliver nor gold. I just can't wait for this to be over,” Amanda bantered the Alpha and almost got slapped again, but he halted and left his hand hanging in her hair. "Why did you stop? Go on and torture me. That's what you're known for. I'm not scared of you,” "I'm out of here. I can't deal with your madness. I would rather not regret my action,” the Alpha restrained his Anguish and stormed out of Amanda's room. Strolling to his chambers, he encounters Julian addressing a few guards. He looked away and feigned a smile, trying to look so friendly and calm. The pretense was so obvious and caught Julian's attention. Hurriedly, he gestured to the Alpha, abandoning his meeting with the guards. “You look unsettled. What's the matter? Amanda is finally pregnant. You should be delighted. You've always yearned for that, don't you?” "It's wrong to abandon your meeting in crucial matters. Now run back to them immediately,” Fabian instructed Julian, who showed concern about his mood. "The body gets affected when the head is chaotic. They'd be fine. The meeting can wait.” Julian remained adamant. "I'll tell you already. Amanda has been pissing me off lately. She suddenly lost all respect for me. She manipulates me with the pregnancy. Of course, she knows I can't lay a finger on her, not when she's carrying my child.” He narrated. "Not again. I see the pregnancy had given her the impetus to disrespect you. I think you should just avoid her until the baby is born.” Julian suggested, which didn't go well with the Alpha. "Impossible! I stand to be corrected. Not until my son is born. You know that's never gonna happen. I need to keep an eye on her. She shouldn't be trusted. My life rests on her shoulder.” Fabian protested. “You're so confident. You can't be so sure.” Julian tackled him. Fabian never thought about that before. "So what are you insinuating? That I should be expecting a girl child? I doubt the moon goddess would be so cruel as to allow that to happen to me. She was aware that the arrival of the twin boys would break the curse. Why send a child to me?” He asked in curiosity. "There's only one way to find out. Let's invite the moon guardian over to confirm the baby's gender inside Amanda,” Julian proposed as the Alpha agreed. "Go call her then.” Alpha Fabian instructed and shuffled to his throne to cool off. Unknown to them, Amanda had been eavesdropping on their conversation from her room. What a strange way to finally discover the truth. She now understands why the Alpha was so desperate to see her get pregnant. “It's hard to reckon that I was just a tool to free the Alpha from sudden death.” Amanda cried. Heartbroken by the situation, she cursed her stepfather for messing up her life. "That bastard brought this upon me. If he hadn't sold me out to the Alpha, I won't be entangled in a situation like this,” she bemoaned. There was no way she was gonna let the Alpha take her baby. She felt cheated, humiliated, and betrayed by everyone. To avert her worst from happening, Amanda calmly took a few clothes and eloped from Sinclair's pack, making sure no one saw her. She wasn't certain of her destination, but only wanted to be far away from the ruthless and selfish Alpha. A few minutes after her escape, Julian strolled in with the moon guardian. "Go summon Amanda immediately. The moon guardian hates to be kept waiting for so long,” ordered, the Alpha, displaying his sets of teeth in excitement. Moments later, Julian returned without Amanda. "Where is she?” Alpha Fabian raised his eyebrows. “The worst has happened, my Alpha. She's nowhere to be found anywhere. I suspect she might have eloped with her…” Fabian landed a punch on Julian's face before he could complete his explanation. "Don't f*****g joke with me. How could she possibly escape under the watchful eyes of the guards? Have you dug everywhere?” "Call me when you are ready to have a conversation with me. I've never been this insulted in my whole life,” the moon guardian walked away in disappointment. Fabian tried to apologize, but she ignored him. "My Alpha, I saw a few of her clothes dispersed outside. She wouldn't have gone far. Remember, she's heavily pregnant. I will take a few guards with me and comb everywhere.,” Julian promised. "What are you waiting for? Go find her. Ensure she's brought back. Argh!” Fabian roared. .
