A Month Later
Crystal's Pov
"Crystal, two club sandwiches on table no.3." Hearing Grace, I was preparing the tray to carry the item. I turned towards her and nodded while she left the kitchen.
I looked at the trey and sighed as I remembered how drastically my life changed in the last month.
That day in the hospital, I didn't only lose my mother but also lost my smile, happiness, and everything.
That day was stormy, I ran out of the hospital and kept running on the road. My eyes were still filled with tears, I wanted to scream and cry, but the bulky men of Issac were chasing behind me. I heard them yell and curse loudly but I had no time to care. The only thing I knew to do was to run for my life.
The bad weather exacerbated the difficulty of my escape and just when I was exhausted and they were about to catch me at an alley, a door suddenly opened and someone pulled me inside a house and closed the door.
And that's when I met Grace; she is not too old, just in her twenties. I instinctively remained wary of all strangers. Yet Grace didn't say anything but silently helped cover for me and get rid of the group of men.
After that, I fainted and took a long nap. I was ready to face another mischief of fate but was awakened by the aroma of bread and coffee. Grace gave me a new home, without asking me anything to repay.
I felt unreal that fate seemed to finally give me some good fortune. Especially after a few days, I cried tears of joy when C*ssie talked to me again. Then I learned the truth that Issac had secretly added pills to my daily meal to suppress my wolf side. That's why I can not connect to C*ssie and it made C*ssie weak until now.
With C*ssie and Grace's encouragement, I started helping Grace with her restaurant. I felt like I was alive again. It must have been my mom who was blessing me from heaven that allowed me to meet a real friend Grace. Everything was going better and I swore to live my future.
Preparing the tray, I was about to leave the kitchen when my head suddenly started spinning. Closing my eyes, I stopped for a couple of seconds thinking it would stop but...soon enough I felt my body losing its strength and the black smoke covered my eyes as I immediately fell on the ground.
The last thing I heard was a scream from Grace, calling me by my name.
***
Slowly opening my eyes, I saw the white ceiling over my head.
"Crystal, you woke up." Hearing the familiar tone, I turned aside and noticed Grace standing beside my bed with a doctor.
"Where am I?" I asked her and she said, "At the hospital. I found you unconscious in the kitchen. I got scared and brought you here."
Even though she was smiling but it looked weird, as if she was worried or anxious about something.
"I was just feeling weak. There was no need for you to spend money on me again. Let's return to home." Saying it, I was about to get up when the doctor immediately stopped me.
"Ms. Crystal, I'm afraid that I can't discharge you because the way you're taking care of your body is putting both of your lives in danger!"
Hearing her, my eyebrows instantly squinted. "Both? What are you talking about, doctor? I know my body. I'm fine."
The doctor immediately turned towards Grace when she was staring at me intensively as if she wanted to tell me something.
Finally, the doctor sighed and said, "It's a part of your body and life, so I won't hide it from you. Ms Crystal, congratulations, YOU'RE PREGNANT."
And instantly, the room turned dead silent when my eyes widened in shock, "W..what?"
"Yes, even though you're still in the very first month but still, the first three months are very crucial, so you have to take care of yourself for the sake of your little baby inside your womb. You can take a rest. I'll send some food for you."
Saying it, the doctor walked out of the room, but I was still stunned as my entire body froze.
'I...I am pregnant?" I felt my eyes turning moist as I slowly kept my hand over my womb because a baby was inside me!
"Crystal, don't think much about it; you need rest," Grace said, and I turned towards her as she also looked worried about me since she didn't have any clue what actually happened to me a month ago.
"B..baby..." I whispered when she said, "Don't think about it now, you can think about it after getting well. If you want to keep your baby then it's alright, I will support you, and I will respect your decision even if you don't want the baby."
I kept staring at her blankly because... firstly I couldn't still believe that I was pregnant... pregnant with the baby of a stranger whom I didn't even know or seen for once.
And if I decide to keep the baby, then can I provide the best life for the child? Here I am running away from the world, what if my baby also has to run away with me because of my messy past?
I was left numb when Grace hugged me and whispered, "Don't think about it. Take some rest, and then we'll go out on a vacation to somewhere silent, there you can decide it calmly because it's the decision of your life and your future."
And immediately, a drop of tears slipped through my eyes because she was right, it was the decision of my life and my future.
Nodding my head, I said, "Thank you...thank you for being there with me. I owe you a lot."
"You don't, I will always be there for you." She said, making me feel grateful to her because she is the reason why I am safe and alive here.
I didn't want to eat anything, but the doctor and Grace forcefully made me eat the food before Grace went home to get some clothes of mine as the doctor advised me to stay there for a night.
Currently, I am lying on my bed and keep staring at the ceiling blankly as I was wondering what I should do now.
I gently rubbed my womb and thought of the baby who was breathing through me but I couldn't forget Issac who was after my life. For the last few weeks I worked in the kitchen of Grace's restaurant to avoid any kind of trouble, and now if Isaac gets to know about my baby, then it will create a threat for both of us.
But...is aborting my baby the solution? I..I know I got my baby because of a dark night mistake, but how can I abort my baby when only this child is the one whom I can call my family in this world?
I kept moving from left to right in the bed because these thoughts made me go nuts. Even though I don't want to harm my baby and keep it with me but Isaac's revenge is making me scared.
Unable to decide anything, I thought of taking a walk. I left my room and noticed a giant window at the church corner of the floor. I went near it and looked down. I noticed a few children playing in the hospital garden.
Unknown to me, I smiled after seeing them as I started caressing my womb. If I keep my baby then in two or three years, my baby will also play like them.
But..can I protect my baby? My mind questioned my heart, making my smile freeze. Again I sighed helplessly as my heart and mind were battling when suddenly I heard two men behind me talking in a very thin tone, but I am a werewolf, my ears are way too sharp than ordinary humans.
"But Alpha, all the pack members are waiting for their Luna. Even the council is urging you to have your heir as soon as possible to maintain the rules of the Alpha book." One of them said when the other man said in a deep husky tone, "Here my wolf is not cooperating with me to find our mates, we didn't even find our mate then from where would I get them an heir!"
I just blinked twice after hearing them. So he's an Alpha? Which Alpha? Of Which Pack?
I thought and stayed silent when they continued their conversation.
"That's why Alpha I suggested you get the heir through Surrogacy but_"
"These are bullshits! None of these she-wolves are capable enough to carry my heir!" He roared in a cold tone at the other guy, which I guess is his Beta.
Suddenly they both turned silent before his Beta again said, "Yes, Alpha Ramos. I know it's a little strange but your sp*rm can not be paired with the egg of whose she-wolves I got for you. The doctor tried a lot of times but...it didn't work."
And that's it, my gasp left my mouth after hearing them, and I immediately kept my hand over my mouth to not let them feel my presence because he...he is Alpha Ramos??
Alpha Ramos...the strongest and the cruelest Alpha in the world! There are no werewolves in the world who don't know about Alpha Ramos! Even everyone gets a dry tongue just by hearing his name.
I guess I am the only one who got to know about this darkest secret of Alpha Ramos apart from them. I immediately gulped hard and thought of leaving this place silently not to get their attention because they would definitely wipe my existence from this world if they got to know that I knew their secret.
Leaving a breath, I slowly turned towards my room, and the moment I took my rushing step, my leg twisted, and a soft wimp left my mouth, but I immediately kept my hand over my mouth to not make any sound but to my great luck, I found two pair of eyes staring at me intensively.
I looked up, and my eyes fell on the dark golden eyes of the furious Alpha, who clenched his jaw, but he slowly looked down at my womb, making me gulp and turn back to run, run to save mine and my baby's life from this angry Alpha.
But even before I could take a step, I felt a cold hand wrapped around my wrist and made me turn back and greet those same furious golden eyes.
Those eyes...even though they were filled with anger but I felt my heart running so fast as if it would pop out anytime in his hand. Even the moment he touched my wrist, I felt something happen inside me as if I knew this hot touch! It felt so familiar and rough that I bit down my lower when he looked fiercely towards my womb!
Shit! Is he going to torture my baby because I know their secret? No! I can't allow that to happen!
Gulping hard, I thought to apologize and run, but the very next second, his furious roar echoed in the hall, making my heart drop to the ground with his words,
"Puppies, MINE!"
Ramos's PovI have been going nuts for the last few months because of the demands of my pack members and my family.I never thought of having another mate and I am enough to handle my throne and my pack, but this HEIR OF THE ALPHA rule is giving me a headache since I am already thirty years old.Now as per the alpha rule book, I must have an heir.I thought of choosing a she-wolf from my pack, but those are nothing but useless wh*res who rubs their *sses on my d*ck to take them. I don't want my Luna to be a wh*re; that's why I took my Beta's suggestion and tried this surrogacy way.But d*mn, it failed again!I was on the verge of a rampage when I learned this bad news. And then, a fabulous aroma caught my attention. I rushed in that direction without thinking.And the moment I caught the woman and made her turn towards me, for the first time in my life, I felt some unknown feelings rushing through my veins as if I knew her and she was a part of me! Weird!I am the most potent Alpha th
Crystal's PovI was left shocked after hearing about his private doctor.I slowly looked towards my womb, and those words started roaming in my mind that his Alpha bloodline is so overbearing that none of the surrogate tests were successful then how...How am I pregnant with his babies?!"So no one can bear my child?" I heard his mocking tone, and before I could cover my ears to hear more secrets, he locked his gaze on me again and hung up the phone."Now come to the real point, where were you on the 8th of the last month?"His cold words made my eyes widen. And then I realized he was the man of that night. After all, I had never had s*x with anyone other than that overbearing man in that wrong room.I gulped and thought to make an excuse when again his cold tone rang around the room, giving me goosebumps, "DON'T YOU DARE TO LIE!"f*ck! I'm doomed today. Even if I tell him the truth, I don't know what he'll do with me. But...if I lie to him, I'm sure I will die.Gulping hard, I said,
Crystal's PovStaring at the sky, I was just wondering what is happening to me and my life. How I ended up as an unwanted soul of the entire world?Caressing my belly, I forced myself to be positive. At least, my babies were going to get the life that they deserved.I'm alone in the car driving to the house of Alpha Ramos. I guess he's also DISGUSTED by my presence but I'm happy that he's not with me.The Tyrant separated me from Grace whom I left without even having a chance to say goodbye face-to-face. I still remembered how Alpha Ramos mocked me before he left."You can see her for your entire life after giving birth to my pups."Heartless bast*rd!Cursing him makes me calm down, but I was still curious if I'm really carrying more than one baby. I meant he was after all an alpha who was much more powerful than me. When he kept saying PUPS, it shouldn't be wrong.I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't even notice when the car stopped, and finally my eyes caught a luxurious mansi
Crystal's POV"You're here just because of the pups!""The moment you give birth to them, the next moment you will vanish in front of our eyes, especially from my son's eyes, because by then his Luna will be next to him.""So till the birth, just behave yourself! Don't dare cause any trouble for my son!"Her words made my heart wave with the reality that everyone keeps reminding me of! I kept my hand over my womb as a drop of tears slipped through my eyes. I curse myself for meeting Ramos at the hospital because that encounter would cost me my babies.Why? Why are they so heartless? Do I not deserve a heart that loves my babies because I am an omega? He is the father, but I am also their mother. It's me who will carry them and give birth to them. Then how come he got more rights on them?Without turning back towards her, I immediately ran inside the mansion where Ms. Rosalie was standing with a tray of food, "Ms. Roger, I got some soup fo_""I'm sorry, I'm not hungry right now," I sai
Ramos's POV"How's she now?" I asked Hansen, who replied shortly, "Even though she looks fine but the doctor suggested making her stop staying depressed.""Her body is turning weak as she's not eating anything and just... crying."Hearing Hansen, I just clenched my jaw in anger because this Omega would make me go nuts. Not only she's turning her body weak, but my pups too!"Don't listen to her, make sure that she eats something or tell her that if I come there, I will make her eat the entire kitchen!" I said coldly before cutting the mind link. I sighed angrily and recalled how this annoying omega entered my life in the blink of an eye.I never imagined an Omega will carry my babies, let alone let her live at one of my private mansions.I am an Alpha, the most feared Alpha.But now, a weak Omega is carrying my heir while the council and pack will never accept it. Ironically, she is my only choice now.Since the last freaking years, Hansen got plenty of she-wolves above the warrior lev
Crystal's POVI realized the tenderness I caught in his eyes was only an illusion when he harshly warned me, "Are you even this careless in your sleep? What if you hurt the babies?"His cold tone literally dropped a bucket of cold water on my head as he stood up, leaving me mad."Harm my babies? So now you care about them more than me, who is carrying them in my womb and handling all those mental pressure from you and your mother?"I felt wronged because just for the sake of my babies I'm here. Yet, he thinks I will hurt my own babies!I gave him a HATEFUL gaze because I couldn't help but curse him in my mind.First of all, he's the one who brought me here for the sake of his heirs, he is the one who separated me from the only friend Grace, and now I have to bear his nasty temper as well as his mother's, who keeps reminding me that I won't be able to even see my baby and still, he's busy in blaming me!What a NARCISSIST JERK!I wish I could say my last part aloud in his face, but I ca
Third Pov"So he's again causing trouble? Didn't I tell you to destroy his rogues?" Ramos asked coldly because this one guy never ends up making him angry.Hansen instantly said, "Half of his rogues are under us now, but still he is causing troubles with the other Alpha packs. Should I kill him?"Ramos stayed silent for a couple of seconds, and before he could say anything, he heard some calling him aloud."Alpha...Alpha..." Both of the men turned towards the stairs and noticed Ava, the newly appointed maid of Crystal was running like mad towards them, making them surprised.While Ava stopped in front of Ramos, she couldn't even speak properly because she literally ran like a bull in anxiousness,"Alp...Alpha...that...Ma'am...baby..."Just hearing the last two words, Ramos immediately understood that something happened to Crystal. Without even waiting for Ava to complete her words, he ran towards Crystal's room at lightning speed.The moment Ramos rushed inside Crystal's room, he noti
Third POV"She is just my SLAVE."The moment Crystal heard Ramos, she felt her heart shattered again. She looked at him silently while a bitter smile curled up on her lips.Well, now she was demoted to slave from a breeder.But Liam didn't buy his words at all. He scoffed, "So now your slave also smells like you?""Just like all you wh*res smell like you?" Ramos said, making Liam give him a glare but he just continued, "Instead of worrying about my slave, you should better watch out for your own business. It's still my territory here, so better you leave before I change my mind."His words were like a slap on Liam who felt furious to be scolded by the one he hated most. He wanted to remind him something with a hard punch and some blood but his Beta suddenly connected him and informed him something important.Staying silent for a couple of seconds, he looked back toward Ramos, who was already about to ignore him and leave. A playful smirk appeared on his face."Don't think I'm done wit
