PUBLIC REACTION
251 Words
The moment the words left Kael’s mouth, the entire hall erupted.
Gasps filled the air, followed by loud whispers that spread like wildfire.
“She’s pregnant?”
“With the Alpha’s child?”
“How is that even possible?”
I stood frozen in place, my heart pounding loudly in my chest as every eye turned toward me.
It felt suffocating.
Heavy.
Like I couldn’t breathe.
There was no hiding anymore.
No escaping it.
Everyone knew.
My fingers curled slightly at my sides as I tried to stay calm, but inside, everything was shaking.
This wasn’t how I wanted them to find out.
Not like this.
Not in front of everyone.
My gaze shifted slowly…
And landed on Alina.
Her reaction was the worst.
The calm, confident expression she always carried was gone.
Completely gone.
In its place was something darker.
Something dangerous.
“You knew?” she asked Kael, her voice tight, barely controlled.
Kael didn’t respond immediately.
That silence was enough.
Her eyes snapped toward me, sharp and filled with anger.
“You…” she whispered.
I swallowed hard, forcing myself to stand straight.
“I didn’t plan this,” I said quietly.
But even as the words left my mouth, I knew they wouldn’t matter.
Because in her eyes…
I wasn’t just a mistake anymore.
I wasn’t just an inconvenience.
I was a threat.
A real one.
And judging by the way she looked at me…
She had already decided.
She wasn’t going to let me stay peacefully.
