LOWEL'S P.O.V

“Help!!” I heard a familiar voice scream from the upstairs, which made me furrow my eyebrows in confusion. 

Keeping the book, I walked upstairs and noticed a maid running as though she had seen someone being killed, and I stopped her from running.

“What's going on?”

“I… The Alpha's mistress is unconscious in the Alpha's room.” my eyes widened as I realized who she was talking about. 

Without thinking twice, I dashed through the halls and turned left to see her lying on the floor looking lifeless. Mark wasn't in the room, which was unusual.

Picking her up, I walked towards the car and put her in the back seat. She was fine a few minutes ago, what could have happened? Did she take something? 

“Doctor Ben!” I yelled out as I reached the hospital and some nurses came with a stretcher to take her away from me, “... Where the hell is Ben?” I asked as I was getting frustrated. 

“He is in an emergency.”

“And Noelle?”

“Office.”

“Get her immediately.”

“Yes, Beta Lowel." I followed the nurses who took Eva.

“You have to wait outside please, Beta.” I stopped in front of the door and saw Noelle coming rushing.

“Beta Lowel."

“If anything happens to her, Mark will get you killed, make sure she's alright." She swallowed hard and walked into the room.

I sat in the waiting room trying to contact Mark, but nothing was working. It's the middle of the God damn night. where the hell could he be?

“Well, we are taking some tests on her but other than that she's fine." Noelle walked out of the room with a smile on her face and I immediately felt so relieved.

“Thank you.” 

“Actually, thank you for the heads-up." We both laughed, and she walked away with what seemed to be blood samples.

I opened the door gently and noticed the nurse pulling her shirt down, and I saw the marks all over the stomach, which made me curious.

“Lift her shirt up a bit.” She jumped as she noticed me staring at her before she lifted the shirt up a bit and I saw it clearly.

I wasn't mistaken. She was mated to someone in the pack, but she's barely out of his… Realization hit me and I slammed my hand against my forehead, how can he be such a fool?

The nurse left the room as I took a seat away from her. I tried to mind linking him again but just like before, his walls were up. Where in the world was he? But how could he do this to her? Many thoughts ran through my mind as I thought about all the pain he had put her through.

“Lowel?” I looked towards the bed and realized she was awake, and she looked quite disappointed as she stared at the door. Then she suddenly smiled and looked at me. 

She wanted to see him.

“What happened to you?”

“I… I don't know, out of the blue my stomach just started hurting, and I think I passed out, but I feel much…"

“Does he know about it?” She looked at me dumbfounded.

“What are you talking about?”

“Eva I want nothing but the truth. Does Mark know you're his mate?” She looked away, and I could see the sadness on her face.

“He doesn't. I found out when I first slept with him, but he never did.”

“Why didn't you tell him?”

“I'm nothing but his mistress to him, don't you understand. If I tell him, he will think I'm lying because I have no evidence to prove it when he doesn't feel a thing.” The door flew open and Noelle walked in with a brimming smile on her face. 

“Well I have a great new Beta Lowel. She and the baby are in perfect shape and…"

“Baby?” Eva asked feeling confused.

“You're pregnant and vitamins will get given to you for that plus the marks will fade away as it's on.” She left with a smile, but the news was still much of a shock to her.

“And I guess you found your evidence.” I mumbled, and she looked at me.

“No, I don't want him to know about this. He is going to kill me.”

“Mark won't…"

“Promise me Lowel. No one will know about the baby, especially him please.” She held onto my hand and looked at me with tears in her eyes.

“Can you at least give it a try to tell him?”

“It's already hard enough Lowel. He despises me, and I'm nothing but an object of desire. It's just two months, and I'll leave with my baby. Please do not tell him anything about this, promise me Lowel."

“Ok, if that's what you want then I won't tell him, but you need to avoid being hit by him.” 

“Thank you, can we go?”

“Sure, let me get Noelle.” I left the room and got Noelle's attention to discharge Eva.

After she was done, I carried Eva back to the house in silence. Knowing she was going to go through this while her mate was still alive didn't make any sense to me. Mark wasn't a fan of getting married, but he couldn't neglect his mate, especially when she was pregnant.

“Get some sleep.”

“Thank you.” She walked to her room and I watched her gently. 

Mark still wasn't home. He wasn't on a journey, but where in the world could he actually be? It was three in the morning, and he was still nowhere to be found.

“Where the hell have you been?” I questioned the moment he stepped into the house, and he looked at me sternly.

“It's none of your business.”

“None of my business?” I pulled him out of the house and closed the door, “... Do you have any idea of what you've done? You don't just shut your mindlink and disappear, Mark, what is wrong with you?!”

“Look, Lowel I don't need your trouble tonight, I just…"

“My trouble? Mark, I have to tolerate your bull-shit for years because as much as you fail to admit it, you need help more than anyone. I tried many times to get to you, but you get angry and vent it out on innocent lives that have done nothing to you. Eva ended up at the hospital because you were with Tasha while she was waiting for you.”

“What does this have to do with Eva and Tasha?”

“Eva is your mate, for fuck’s sake!”
