Pregnant and rejected by my alpha

Five

Chapter Five

Keiera's POV

It's been hours since I've left the note in Kyan's room and I vividly remember that he came home three hours after I'd dropped the note and I was sure he saw it. I was anxious and nervous at the same time, wondering what his response would be but his silence was more unnerving. The phrase that no news was good news didn't apply to this situation, I was worried and couldn't sleep well.

Questions and countless possibilities kept me awake all night as it flooded my head. I was curious at what Kyan's response would be. Normally expecting fathers would scream out of excitement when they know their wife is pregnant but since my husband and I didn't exactly have a good relationship to start with I wasn't expecting that side of him or such expressions.

Immediately the day broke, I stepped out of my room and intentionally walked towards his own room, thinking he would see me and talk about it but hai door was shut.

'Is he freaking out? Dis I soil any of his plans? Was he thinking of telling me to abort?' I asked myself, rhetorically as I paced to and fro.

I almost jumped out of my skin in fright as his door creaked open and I was disappointed to see a maid walk out with a tray in her hand.

"Good morning Luna." She greeted as she sighted me.

"Good morning Rhea, is the alpha awake?" I asked her, curiously. I could go in there and confirm myself but I didn't want to make the first move.

"Yes, he just woke up." Rhea replied.

I relaxed a bit.

"How was his demeanor, was he harsh? Or did he seem off or anything?" I blurted, not thinking it through.

"What do you mean Luna?" Rhea asked, shocked by my weird questions.

I chuckled nervously, everyone knew of my status in the pack but it wasn't right embarrassing myself before a maid who would probably report it to Clarice.

"It's nothing, I'll just go check on him myself." I waved it away with a smile.

She bowed in respect and took her leave, I was still worried as I peeped but couldn't see anything as the door was shut, there was no sound coming from his room and there was no reaction like I had initially expected. Tired, I retired to my own room. I got prepared for the day and whatever would come out of it and almost jumped when a maid informed me that Kyan asked for my presence.

I rushed there as fast I could with a huge smile plastered on my face, this was my chance to redeem our marriage. Kyan was a good man and the perfect husband, secretly; I never want to be separated from him, from my mate and heavens know I love him so much.

"Kyan, you called for me, I know you're shocked but I was surprised when-"

My voice trailed off as I saw Kyan and Andrea already dressed in an outfit that matched, though it was different colors but anyone could tell it complemented each other. Andrea flashed me one of her killer smiles while Kyan looked confused. I cleared my throat and composed myself.

"Good morning Keiera, I see you're excited this morning, I am too!" Andrea uttered with enthusiasm.

"Of course, good morning." I replied, flatly and the disappointment in my tone was evident.

"What were you saying?" Kyan asked, staring intently at me.

"Nothing." I lied, shaking my head.

"Are you sure?" He inquired.

I pursued my lips and wanted to badly ask him about the note but my eyes trailed back to Andrea who caught the subtle message and she laughed.

"I'll leave you two to talk." She offered and for the first time since her arrival; I was grateful to her.

Kyan caught her hand and asked her to stay, which instantly hurt me, it was there I knew something was awfully wrong. For a man to speak such way to the woman carrying his child.

"She can say what she wants." Kyan insisted but Andrea was wise enough to turn down his offer.

Andrea walked out of the room, giving us some privacy and Kyan didn't seem happy about it. He gave me a 'go on, I'm listening' expression and I cleared my throat and picked on my fingers.

"Aren't you going to say something to me?" I asked, shyly.

"Is there something you think I should say to you?" He asked.

I tucked my hair behind my hair and smiled shyly.

"I was hoping we could talk about the future of-"

"Keiera, whatever it is that's going on in your head, now's not the time for it, what was that? Our future? We both know how it's going to turn out and I do not have anything to say to you, now I'd you're done being childish and inconsiderate of what's happening, I have somewhere else to be." He interrupted.

Tears welled in my eyes as every of his words pierced at my heart leaving a burning sensation, he walked past me like it didn't matter and I tried to sniff back my tears.

"We're leaving for the hospital to see grandma, you should come along since she'll throw a tantrum if you're not there." He added before finally leaving.

For a moment, I laughed hysterically to myself until tears rolled down my cheeks. My thoughts had been wrong and I realized how foolish I was to have thought he would change his mind after knowing I was pregnant, he was the same way he's always been and I'm just an inconvenience he would discard.

After seeing my note he still acted indifferently to me, it only meant one thing; he cares neither for me nor our child. I chuckled at how sarcastic things were, the child was now 'my' child and 'my' responsibility and this realization broke me, there was no 'us' or hope of being together anymore, all my dreams were shattered and it was evident the only real connection we had was grandma who needed me.

At that point I made a decision, there was no way I would raise an unwanted child and the here was only one way my child wouldn't be termed as that; divorce.

'After grandma's surgery.' I whispered to myself.

I'll remain his wife until after grandma's surgery and then I'll disappear from his life.
