Xander's POV

I stared at the screen of the laptop in front of me but couldn't understand anything.

Reports. Numbers. Contracts and Documents waiting for my approval.

But my mind couldn't stay in one place. It continued to go back and forth. Back to her.

Bella.

I exhaled slowly and leaned back in my chair, dragging a hand down my face. My jaw was clenched without realizing.

This had been happening since yesterday.

Since the moment she walked into my office for that interview.

I had convinced my

    Alpha Lucian's POVI was in my study alone. There was silence in the room, and it stretched on like a vacuum. The silence that could hear things that a man didn't want to hear.I glanced at the stack of papers littering my desk but couldn't remember a single word. For the hundredth time that day, my thoughts drifted back to her. Bella.I slowly leaned back in my chair and closed my eyes. The moment I did, her face appeared. Just like it had every night for the past few month.Damn it. Why couldn't I stop thinking about her? Why now? Why after she was gone? My jaw tightened.I could still remember the day she left. The wrath in her eyes. The hurt. The disappointment. Back then I had convinced myself I didn't care.I had Maya. I had Naya. I had everything I wanted. Or at least that was what I thought.A bitter laugh escaped my lips. What a fool. A complete fool. The Moon Goddess must have been laughing at me all this time.I pushed back from my desk, walking towards the large window tha

    Xander's POVWhen Bella left my office everything was quite.I looked at the closed door for quite a while. My jaw was drawn tight and hurt. What the hell was that?I ran my hand through my hair and stood up from my desk. The wrath was burning under my skin. The one who made the inside of my chest tick tight. The kind that made my wolf' restless.I headed toward the window that was high to the ground and looked down upon the city. Outside the cars paced along the streets, and in my mind was replaying the same dialogue. "The baby is yours."That caused my face to turn dark. "No." The word left my mouth before I could stop it. This is Impossible. I had spent my entire life avoiding women. Avoiding relationships. Avoiding anything that could tie me down. Then suddenly Bella walked into my office claiming I was the father of her child? I clenched my right hand into a fist. I had to deal with her for framing me to that, even after firing her from my company.I forced myself to focus on th

    Bella's POVI didn't know how I made it out of Alpha Xander's office. I truly didn't.My legs moved on their own while my mind remained trapped inside that room.His words kept repeating over and over inside my head."You are terminated.""You are not my mate.""I am not the father of your child."Every sentence felt like a fresh wound. By the time I reached the hallway, my vision was completely blurred by tears. I quickly wiped my face, not wanting anyone to see me crying.But it was useless. The tears kept coming. My chest hurt so badly that even breathing felt difficult.I lowered my head and hurried forward. I just wanted to leave the company before I completely broke apart in front of everyone."Bella?"A familiar voice stopped me. I froze and slowly, I looked up.Mr. Desmond stood a few feet away staring at me with concern written all over his face.His brows immediately furrowed. "What happened?" he asked quietly.I quickly looked away. "Nothing." The lie sounded terrible. He c

    Bella's POV The whole morning was burdensome, both emotionally and also physically. Every part of my body ached. My feet were swollen. And the constant pressure in my lower stomach reminded me that I was running out of time because It is just two weeks left before my due date.I sat behind my desk staring at the computer screen, but I wasn't doing anything.The words were unclear and difficult to read. My thoughts were somewhere else thinking I had to leave Ivy's apartment tomorrow. My chest just clenched when I thought about it.Ivy was relocating to Canada in a few days. She had already packed out most of her contents. She couldn't keep me with her anymore. As far as I'm concerned, I wouldn't blame her for this.But where was I supposed to go? I had no house. No even savings to rent a house. My fingers slowly moved over my stomach.My hands shifted under the baby, to a different position. Yet it was enough to make my eyes sting."We'll be okay," I whispered softly, even though I wa

    Asma's POVI didn't remember how I got back to my department, I felt so enraged. Last minute I was standing there, next I sat at my desk and spent nearly 20 minutes looking into the same document without reading a word of it.My chest hurt, to be honest, hurt wasn't the right word. There seemed to be a crack in me.I could still picture the way Alpha Xander was holding Bella. The way his hands were around her. The same Alpha Xander Marco who hadn't even looked at anybody. The man who filled wolves with fear at his soul-crushing gaze. Yet he looked worried about her.The pen clenched tightly between my fingers and broke. The sound made several coworkers glance at me and I quickly looked down."Sorry," I muttered. But I wasn't sorry. I was angry. I was furious.The remainder of the day went by in a blur. Every few minutes I found my mind going over the scene in my mind.By the time I got home, my thoughts had completely poisoned me.I walked into the apartment and dropped my bag onto th

    Bella's POV The rest of the afternoon passed slowly with some feelings I couldn't name. I was trying to concentrate on my work, but it kept reminding me of a particular picture. Asma standing there looking at us, looking at him holding me.She had seen the way he looked so worry about me. I just knew there would be a great problem, for the past months she has been trying everything possible to be close to xander but didn't succeed and worst she never knew I was the one working as his secretary untill today.I felt something settled, deep in my soul.

Whatever would happen should happen.The baby inside me kicked lightly, I immediately placed a hand on my stomach."Oh god," I whispered.Several other workers nearby raised their eyes to see what was happening. But I quickly lowered my head and pretended to continue working too.My body was for sure drained and completely worn ou

    Bella's POV I stared blankly at the computer screen in front of me. The numbers and letters were there. I could see them, but my mind wasn't processing any of it.One arm was resting on my enlarged belly and the other arm was clinging to the rim of my desk.I was eight months pregnant now. I felt

I was not the one you'd call happy, but there was a satisfying release inside me.I was by the big windows of my penthouse apartment with my arm tucked in my pocket, gazing down at all the lights that lit up the spraw
