Tessa's POV.
'Wait! My baby." I cried out, placing my hand on my stomach immediately, but then an empty feeling ran through me and I wanted to cry, but the tears didn't come.
"It's gone. I wasn't fast enough. I arrived to see you almost dead before I could tell them to stop, my apologies." The unknown man said, and I found myself bursting into laughter.
A very loud one that made the man furrow his brows at me. He probably thought I was insane. Well, he wasn't wrong. I was filled with bitterness.
"Why did you save me?" I asked quietly, but I got no answer immediately as there was silence for a while.
"Let that answer be with me. I do have a preposition for you, considering I saved you. I hope you know you do owe me, right?" the man asked, switching on the light in the room.
He came into view fully and my breath got caught into my throat as I wondered how someone could be so handsome.
He had long, white hair that was packed into a ponytail, strands that seemed braided falling onto his face. His silver eyes, glowed, sparkling and looking so pretty.
His whole body came into view and I remembered he was unclad, but then I found it difficult to look away, especially because of the thing growing hard between his legs.
He had pink lips and a pointed Roman nose that seemed almost broken. Chiseled features and a toned, muscular build.
"So breathtaking" was the word.
"What do you want?" I asked and the side of his lips curled up into a smirk, making him look more attractive.
"I think I might begin to fancy you. Going straight to the point is my forte too." He told me and I fought the urge not to roll my eyes.
He did save me, as his orders were listened to meaning he must be someone powerful, and I was going to use him to my advantage.
"Are you going to say what you want?" I inquired.
"Bear my pup and I will do whatever it is you want in return." He replied, and my blood ran cold.
'What did he just say?'. I turned to glare at him, thinking he was insane.
"How dare you ask me such?" I roared at him, but all he did was to continue to smile, which was pissing me off.
I had just lost my unborn child, who was killed by his father and this dude right here, was asking me to bear another?
'What if I had trauma, what if I had lost my womb and couldn't conceive anymore?' I wondered, so many if drafting through my mind.
"I know that was a lot for me to ask, but I would like you to consider it because bearing my child will come with a lot of benefits," he pointed out, and I did roll my eyes this time.
"Was that why you got naked? To f**k me into accepting?" I demanded and he just laughed.
"One thing I don't do is force women into bed with me." He paused, probably allowing his words to sink in before continuing.
"I like them agreeing on their terms or begging me instead."
I chuckled.
He was too hilarious.
"Too bad, you won't get that from me." I taunted, ready to do anything to wipe that annoying smile off his face.
Somehow it was pulling strings at my heart and I had no idea why.
"Well, we will see, wouldn't we? Little rabbit." He called and I frowned.
"I am not a little rabbit," I warned, watching as he got dressed. For some reason, that made me clench my hands together into fists.
'Was I pissed? Why was he getting dressed? Because of what I said?' I pondered, also wondering why I did not want him dressed in the first place.
"I will leave you now to think about it and remember, this will have a lot of benefits. I do also know you didn't force yourself on Kelvin like he and Ariel claimed."
I stiffened at his words, my eyes drafting to him in alarm and he nodded.
"Yes, because you are an omega and he is a werewolf, crown prince meaning almost Alpha. He can't be taken and tied down by you, no matter how weak he must have felt at the moment. Also, you don't look like someone who would lie." He added, and I wanted to cry.
For some unknown reason, relief rushed through me. So there was someone who actually believed me, and he was the one who saved me.
Was that why he did so? Because he knew I didn't lie?
"Get well soon, and I will be back in 24 or 48 hours to hear your answer." He told me with a wink and then left before I could stop him. I laid on the bed, recalling his words.
Perhaps if I agreed, I would be able to get my revenge. I could have died but the moongoddess used this unknown man to save me.
I didn't even ask for his name or position, but surely he was someone important. I stayed in the room, all through 48 hours.
My wounds were being tended to, with me being served and fed without any bother. I wanted the silver-eyed man to show up, but 24 hours passed, even 48 hours did and there was still no sign of him.
I began to feel sad, my heart hurting. Was he no longer interested in dealing with me?
Was he tired or did he perhaps find someone better?
'Why does he even need a pup?' I bit my lower lips in frustration.
.......
.......
Two days later, he showed up again.
"You are back." I cheered before I could stop myself and he smirked.
"Someone seemed to miss me." He teased me and I glared at him.
"Who are you, by the way?" I inquired, and he shook his head sideways, holding a finger up.
"No, no, no. I will only tell you after I have heard your answer, because I do believe I have given you enough time to decide." He responded.
"You said 48 hours, this is more than that." I pointed out to him.
"Shouldn't you be happy then? That means more time for you."
I just sighed before saying.
"I accept, but I have my conditions, and before I get to that, who are you?".
"Impatient I see. Well, I am the Alpha king." He dropped the bomb and my jaw dropped as my mind raced.
"Meaning...." I tried to say, but the words couldn't come out, and he grinned as always.
"I am Kelvin's father.”
