Elena
My heart trembled, my hands freezing as my eyes glued themselves to the screen.
He had never called me before.
This was the first time.
I don't know what I should feel right now, whether I should answer it or not—yet, my fingers as if it has its own consciousness, moved on its own and answered the call from him instead.
“Alaric—”
“What did you say to her?”
I couldn't even finish my words when his voice already exploded through the line. It was filled with rage, distant, cold, and sharp enough to slice skin.
My body stiffened. “Who?”
“Stop pretending,” he said coldly. “Hydra is at Ashbourne Hospital. She went into uterine contractions. The baby almost died.”
He paused briefly before letting out a cold chuckle. “Happy now?”
My breath hitched.
