Jayden's POV
I watched Ella as she nervously explained how she decided to keep the pregnancy a secret, so that she surprised Aiden. Her voice filled with a mixture of excitement and worry.
Anger flared within me, and my wolf, Jo, stirred restlessly. How could she only think of him? Why always want to please him?
She wanted to surprise him, to see the joy in his eyes when he learned he was going to be a father. She kept talking but inside, a storm raged within me, a tempest of anger, frustration, and longing.
"Does he deserve it?" I asked. "Is he even worth it? That you need to surprise him. He left you for more than two months now, and all you think of is how to surprise him? Does he even love?" I snapped, my words laced with a hint of venom. "He doesn't deserve to be surprised."
Ella flinched at the intensity of my response, her eyes wide with surprise. I could see the hurt in her gaze, the confusion clouding her thoughts. But right now, I couldn't contain my emotions any longer.
