DIANA
“Wait,” I said, using my hands to gesture to the people carrying the rogue, and they stopped and looked at me with curiosity.
“I’ve seen this guy in this pack before. He works at an eatery. So how is he a rogue?” I asked and they all looked at me with creased brows.
I used to come to their pack often so I could catch a glimpse of Axel in reality and that was how I always saw this guy they captured working in the restaurant I always stopped at.
Now knowing that the guy was a rogue and he was still working in Axel’s pack meant that rogues had secretly begun infiltrating their park and could be planning an attack.
Coming here today I didn't know what to expect. Judging by how Axel’s pack was having rogue issues that meant I wouldn't be safe here.
Was the moon goddess showing me signs that I shouldn't be with Axel? But I loved him so much.
Even when Shayna came last night claiming she was pregnant, I was angry and disappointed in Axel at first because I didn't know he was that kind of a person.
Still, part of me believed him when he said he didn't get Shayna pregnant. Shayna was a model in a neighboring pack who was known to be arrogant and a troublemaker.
“Take him away,” Axel’s father ordered as though I didn't just speak. I felt a pang of sadness in my heart.
I wished Axel’s parents could acknowledge me as their son’s mate and accept me.
“You shouldn't have bothered talking anyway. Let’s go,” Axel whispered into my ear, held my hands, led me to his room, and ignored his father.

Reaching his room which was dark-themed and exquisite, I sat on his bed while he walked to his bedside drawer and removed a paper from an envelope making my brows crease.
“What I'm about to tell you now, I have never told anyone. After showing you this, if you want to reject me, I would understand and accept your rejection,” He said, and from his countenance, I could tell he was nervous.
“Get on with it then,” I urged him.
“I didn't get Shayna pregnant because I have nothing to do with her or any other girl. Since I hit the age where I could impregnate a female. I underwent a vasectomy surgery,” He said and paused making my brows crease.
Was he being serious?
Vasectomy was a surgery a man who didn't want to get a woman pregnant always did.
“This is the proof,” He stretched his hands with paper in it and I collected it.
I read the content of the paper and gasped, he was serious. But why the hell did he not want to get a woman pregnant?
“Why?” I asked him and gestured for him not to talk and then I added.
“If you had a vasectomy done, then how would you be able to get me pregnant?” I added.
This meant that if Axel and I were to be together he wasn’t going to be able to impregnate me.
And from the moment I found out we were mates I was looking forward to this.
I massaged my temples in frustration while Axel walked over to me, squatted in front of me, and opened his mouth to talk.
But at that moment we heard a knock on his door and he went to check who it was.
“Your parents demand your presence downstairs,” I heard the person say to him.
“Tell them I am busy,” I heard him whisper before he closed the door.
Even though I was his mate, there was this aura that commanded respect and fear that he exuded which couldn't be ignored by anyone. Not even me.
“Who was that and what did the person want?” I asked feigning ignorance.
“It was one of our house workers. He wanted to inform me that he had taken my clothes for dry-cleaning,” He lied.
“I heard you both,” I said, giving him a knowing look, and he sighed.
“You should go see them. Maybe what they have to say is important,” I urged him.
“But…” He wanted to continue but I interrupted.
“When you're done we will finish our discussion. Go see your parents. For my sake, please,” I pleaded and he nodded before he turned and left me his room.
When he left I began to ponder on what to do next. The news that he had Vasectomy done surprised me and I still couldn't believe it.
When I went home last night there was no threatening word that my parents didn't use on me just for me to reject Axel but I didn't give in.
Even after what happened with Shayna back at the restaurant, I still wanted Axel. He was all I could think about.
The sound of loud voices brought me back from my train of thoughts and then I heard a familiar voice. Shayna’s voice.
That b***h!!
Not being able to stand the thought of her with Axel, I stood up from Axel’s bed and went to the sitting room to find out what was causing the yelling.
Reaching there, I saw Shayna with an elderly man and an elderly woman who looked like her parents.
“After getting me pregnant you want to abandon me now for who? For that ugly b***h who wears eyeglasses like a grandma and also dresses like a grandma?” Shayna asked amidst sobs.
“Well, that b***h who wears medicated eyeglasses and dresses like a grandma is Axel’s mate, and who he wants,” I said announcing my entry and Shayna’s eyes flashed with rage.
I knew my dress sense was a bit wack but hearing Shayna say it pierced my heart. I decided to up my game starting from that moment.
“Who gave you the right to be here?” Axel’s mom questioned me and her husband nodded in support of her.
“There is no way Axel is responsible for Shayna’s pregnancy and I’m very sure of that. And if she still claims she is, let's take a paternity test. It can be done even while she is pregnant,” I answered.
Shayna looked uncomfortable after hearing my suggestion and so did her father. But her mom had a blank look on her face.
“Yes, let's take the paternity test,” Axel said with a devilish smirk on his face, making Shayna slightly shudder.
“Uhm… I have something to say,” Shayna’s mom who had been quiet all the while suddenly said with a blank expression on her face making us all look at her expectantly.
