The Alpha I Rejected Came For Me

A Change In The Air (Part Two)

Andrea's POV

I left the hospital with a heavy heart. Dr Mercer did not want me to keep this baby but I wanted it. I was going to have this baby no matter what.

You see, my mind was already made up, I had decided that I was going to leave my marriage, but knowing that there was a baby in the picture, I will admit this much, it gave me a sense of hope.

I know that we hadn't planned for the baby, but I was sure that he would at least be happy, that he would perhaps think about our life together, our marriage and the vows we made to each other.

If not for that, then perhaps for the sake of our child. That's how desperate I was to keep my husband, because I genuinely loved him. He has been my home, my family and everything precious to me in the last four years.

He had been good to me, he treated me like a princess. Even if he was too possessive at times, I didn't care, because I knew that he only cared about me. I guess a part of me didn't want to lose that.

I left my family, I thought that I was going to be alone, that I would have no family, but when I married him, I found something I never had in the past.

The love of a mother. I get why they say I'm her favorite, why everyone says that the Old Donna loves me more than she loves her son's, I don't think it's true, but what I do know is that she loves me and for that reason, I kept on hoping for the better.

Leaving doctor Mercer's office, my mind was made up. I would have the child and I would give my husband two more chances.

What I wasn't expecting, was to walk past the OBGYN office and see my husband rubbing another woman's belly with a huge smile on his face. The door was slightly ajar and I could hear the doctor speaking inside.

" She's fourteen weeks along and the baby is fine, both mother and child are safe and healthy," the doctor said with a smile.

I felt sick to my stomach, I felt bile on my throat and I ran to the nearest bathroom to throw up. I spent some time there, someone walked in, I could tell from the familiar pheromone scent that it was Gina.

She smelled like white roses, her scent was always on my husband, even with the pheromones suppressors, my senses were still working fine. It was nauseating, I threw up again.

The door opened again, this time, it was my husband, I could smell his pheromones as well.

" What's taking so long? I have to get back to the office," my husband said to Gina.

" I just needed to fix my make-up, but I am all done now," she said to him.

" Remember what I told you, no one can know about the baby, especially my wife," he said to her in a hard tone.

" I know... I won't say anything," she said to him.

" You better not, because if she finds out about this, you're the first person I am taking out, carrying my child won't give you any leverage with me," he said to her.

" I know my place, I won't overstep, I promise," she said to him.

" Good, when the time is right. I will tell her myself," he said to her.

" Aren't you worried? What if she tells you to get rid of the baby? Will you do it?" she asked him.

" We have been married for four years now, we don't have any kids, my father is beginning to get worried about the line of succession, this child is important to the family so I will protect it with everything I have," he said to her.

" Ethan, you have to understand that she might not accept this baby, what would happen then?" she said to him.

" My father had me with another woman, the woman that raised me is my mother and she loves me like her own. Andrea gets along very well with my mother, she will make her understand and see reason.

Yes, she will be upset at first, but she will come around. I am doing this for us. Her health hasn't been good, I can't let her go through pregnancy. Now remember what I said, this child isn't yours, it's mine and Andrea's," he said that to her.

His phone rang before they could talk any further. The door opened and they left. Only then did I emerge from the toilet. I was sick, physically sick. As I was about to wash my hands, I suddenly felt dizzy and then I fainted.

When I woke up, I was in the hospital, my husband was holding my hand. When he saw me open my eyes, his face lightened up.

" Honey, you scared me..." he said and kissed my hand.

" What happened? What am I doing here?" I asked him.

" You fainted yesterday," he said to me.

" Yeah, they said that you fainted in the bathroom, why didn't you tell me that you were coming to the hospital? Are you sick?" he continued to say.

The door opened and doctor Mercer came in just as I was about to answer him.

" You're up? That's good," she said to me.

" What's wrong with her? I have been asking from last night and no one is giving me a straight answer," he said to doctor Mercer.

I looked at doctor Mercer with pleading eyes, hoping that she can see that I didn't want her to tell him about the pregnancy.

" Andrea is tired, her heat cycle is coming so it's taking a toll on her body, since she doesn't have a permanent mark, she's having a pheromone overflow," she said to him.

" Doctor, my wife's gland is damaged, she cannot be marked," he said to her.

That's what I told him. He is an alpha just like I am, how can he possibly mark me? I had to lie to him, I told him that my gland was damaged when I was younger. He bought it.

" Andrea is strong, even as an Omega I believe that she can pull through, she just needs rest and she will be fine," she said to him.

" Doctor are you sure? Look at her, she's as pale as a ghost. I doubt that rest is all she needs. What about medication, surely there must be something you can do," he said to her in angry tone.

If it was any other doctor, she would have been threatened or fired, but it's doctor Mercer, he knows about our relationship so he can't threaten her.

" Ethan, Doctor Mercer knows what she is doing. If she says rest is all I need, then that's what I will do, get some rest," I said to him.

His face softened up and kissed my hand again.

" Okay, I will listen to you," he said gently.

Then he stood up and looked at Dr Mercer.

" Doctor, can I have a word with you?" he asked her.

" Sure..." he said to her.

They left and I took a deep breath, I opened a drawer and saw some wipes, I took a bunch and rubbed my hand where he had kissed me.

Even though I was pretending to be fine, every fibre of being wanted to get as far away from him as possible. I can't forget what I saw, the same way I can't forgive what he did.

For months I knew that something was going on, but now that I have confirmed it, the truth is bitter to swallow. Four years I have been with this man.

Up until Gina showed up, he wouldn't even sit next to another woman. Now he has another woman carrying his child. The pregnancy is over three months along, that means that she will be the first to give birth.

That isn't even the worst of it, no, that would be the part where he expects me to take his child and raise it like my own. What about me? What about what I want? What about my child?

A few minutes later, my husband came back. He looked less worried than he was when he left.

I left the hospital a few days later and up until a few days ago, my husband has been by my side. He took time off work and took me to a health spa, he stayed with me a week and as soon as we came back home, he went to Gina.

I didn't just stay and wait for him to come back. I went to see a lawyer and came back with divorce papers.

I have been watching his behavior, trying to find reasons to hold on to this failing marriage, but in the end, all I found was nothing but lies and secrets.

So when he said that he wanted to have a small celebration, I figured that it was fitting. I wasn't the number one woman in his life anymore, it wouldn't have made sense to make it a grand celebration.

I thought that perhaps we could end things with one last good memory, that's why I agreed to a small celebration with only the people we were close to. I have already decided to leave, yet here I am wondering if I can be able to do it.

" So, you're not even going to deny it? She really is carrying your child isn't it?" I said to him.

Before I knew it, my husband dropped to his knees and burried his head in my thighs. He didn't deny anything about Gina and the baby she's carrying.

" I'm sorry... This isn't how I wanted you find out," he said to me as he tightly hugged my legs.

" I made a mistake... But you're the one I love," he said with a muffled tone.

Hearing him say those words broke me, he didn't even try to defend himself. It's like he expects me to understand, of course he does, after all, I am the one who has been played like an i***t here.

" You love me? Really now?" I said that with a scoff, almost laughing at his words because it really did sound like a joke coming from him.

He shot up to his feet, he hovered over me and grabbed my shoulders, he placed his forehead on mine.

" Andy, I made a mistake. I know that you might not believe it right now, but in my heart, there has always been you," he said then pulled me into his arms and hugged me tightly, I didn't hug him back.

" I'm sorry..." he whispered.

A few seconds passed, perhaps it was minutes, but it felt like hours. I had imagined this scenario a lot of times in my mind, and everytime I imagined it, the outcome was always the same.

"Andy... Say something," he said to me.

At that point, I felt his heart rate increasing, it was beating so fast, I thought that he was going to have a heart attack. He wants me to say something and yet he seemed scared of what I might say.

Finally, I found my voice, he wanted me to say something, then I will say something.

" Let's get a divorce," I said firmly.
