There were many lies I had told myself while growing up and now as I attained adulthood, it had turned out to be that most of what I had believed were either far from being the truth or I had been gullible enough to me.
For me, attraction was a lie—a self-protective lie and I felt uncomfortable with it. Especially when it came to women.
For her it was different, I was having a hell of a time trying as much as I could to get her out of my mind.
In a way as it had turned out to be I was blind to the attraction of any other woman, ever since I had met her months ago— I had not wanted anyone else in my bed than her.
She was beautiful in two ways —beautiful inside and outside— the thought of it began to haunt my mind remembering me of the last time I was with her.
She had drifted slowly into a lovely languorous sleep, and I had watched her body uncurling and stretching, reveling in the good sleep she was having.
In a way, I would have preferred if she had slept the whole time, she looked calmer that way. At least it was better than having to throw a fuss all around as she had been doing for the past few minutes.
She had lifted her arms up over her head, arched her back and opened her eyes. Shock slammed into her heart when she saw me looking at her with a smirk lurking on my lips, my dark eyes taking their fill of her.
Who wouldn't look? She was certainly a thing of beauty. Anyone in my shoes would certainly want to have a good look at her.
For a minute, I and thought that perhaps I had
made a mistake in reacting so negatively to what might have been a mother—child protection from her.
Since then there hadn't been a moment when I had felt a strong reluctance to reveal my whole identity to her.
It looked as though she had no knowledge of what had happened over the past few months but I couldn’t be certain right now; for all I know, she could be pretending.
Erin sat in the chair not too far from where I was, staring blankly at my face as if expecting answers.
There was no point in trying to get her to speak.
I knew of many ways everything could just go wrong, still there was no way I could get my head around to work and think of the next possible steps.
In a way, I didn’t know why she was sitting here. Instinctive, probably, putting herself in the place where she was most comfortable, while still looking at my face.
As much as there was a lot to think of as there was only one mountainous word in my mind, blocking out the flow of any others— I could not get the thought of her out of my mind.
The shock of it drained her of any sense of purpose.
She looked shocked at the fact she was pregnant.
How could she be?
I had always thought women knew about this thing and they could tell if the slightest incident happened to their anatomy.
As it turned out, she knew nothing about the pregnancy, it was obvious something was wrong and the fact that she couldn't even recognize my face when I had walked in on her earlier showed how far things had gone sour.
I had that same feeling again and this time it was in the way she had sounded when she got out of the truck.
There was something about the way she had sounded but it did look like I might just be overthinking things.
The plan was simply to isolate her till when she was going to have my child and then I could as well decide what I wanted to do with her.
Gavi—One of the Omegas called my attention to the tire of the truck that was already fixed.
It was only then that I had taken a good look at the watch I was putting on.
"She should be back by now." I said to Gavi who nodded his head in agreement.
Apparently, she had been gone for so long and I had been so busy and distracted to even notice her absence,
When I had said she was up to something, I didn't make it up as it was hard to explain why she was taking too long
I tug the rope a bit and suddenly it came loose.
I stood rooted to the spot, stunned by the fact that this just happened.
I hauled his gaze up from Gavi to another as my eyes were like icy steel, stabbing into their souls if possible.
After what felt like a long nerve-tearing silence, I stood there with No doubt in my voice. No doubt in my eyes— All I wanted was for them to get her back.
“Go find her!” I commanded in a voice that cracked like a whip, echoed through the woods.
I was most certainly sure she wouldn't have gotten anywhere or covered many distances.
I waved a sharply dismissive hand at the flurry of shocked protests.”Join him, what are you waiting for? ” I lashed at the man that was still waiting behind me.
Taking a deep breath with my gaze not so much as flickered from the moonlight that was creeping close, yet I emanated so much intimidating power, no-one was inclined to fight my edict—Anger.
I walked into the woods going after her. For a moment I turned to look around, prickling my ears so I could hear the growling sounds from my men.
I could listen and hear a bit of her heart pounding in the distance not too far from where I was.
Knowing where to run to, I went after her.
This was going to end badly in a way and I could tell from how angry I was.
She made a very bad decision trying to get away and now she had to deal with his anger.
Her scent was heavy now, I could tell I was getting closer and closer to her and I smirked, relieved that I could finally get to her but angry all the same.
“You deserve a lil punishment, baby girl.” I muttered to myself, licking my teeth as I went after her…
