Chapter Seventeen

FIONA

I found one of my heaviest coats and put it on, making sure to tie the rope. I stood in front of the mirror, making sure my pregnancy was not showing. Though I was having a huge belly at this point, I still wanted to keep it hidden. If I could keep it hidden during the daytime, I could definitely do it at nighttime. 

I opened the door to see the beta still waiting there. 

“We will all escort you here,” he said, as if he was already reading through my mind. 

“I am not scared of Alpha Sergius. I am scared of Alpha Cyprus finding out about this,” I said before stepping out as they followed behind me. 

Beta Anthony soon stepped forward and escorted me through the route that led to the backyard garden where I was going to meet Alpha Sergius. The closer we got to the garden, the slower they became. I looked at them as they motioned for me to go forward. 

I swallowed my saliva in fright, knowing I was about to meet one of the men I hated the most in my life, someone I never had any plans of meeting till my death. But yet, here I was, talking to him for unreasonable things. I knew definitely he was just going to give me one excuse or another, trying to prove to me that he deserved me in his life, and I didn't even care at this point. 

I stood in the middle of the garden waiting when I heard his silent, evil steps behind me. I turned slowly, making sure my hands were wrapped around my belly so he wouldn't see any sign of my pregnancy. He looked at me and smiled, opening his hands like he wanted to hug me, slowly making his way toward me when I raised my hands up to stop him. 

“No. You lost that chance months ago, and I don't plan on giving it to you again,” I said to him proudly as he laughed loudly. 

“Wow, you are so fucking bored now. I can't imagine you talked to me that way after everything. I thought we were going to be together. I thought you would follow me. You don't know who you are picking over me. You actually think my brother Cyprus is going to treat you right? He wouldn't. He hasn't gotten what he wanted. Just like I had not gotten what I wanted that night. We are brothers. We have the same character. Come with me now, and let this all end,” he said so proudly. 

It disgusted me. 

“No, I would not. Do you understand? I will never go with you if this is how you want to persuade me. It's not working. And you called me out in the night for nothing. You placed the life of the beta in danger knowing what Cyprus can do to him because you want to threaten me. You think it's going to work?” I said to him, getting even more pissed remembering what he just said angered me so badly. But I tried to hold it back. 

“I'm sorry, Fiona,” he said. 

“Please.” 

“You tried it the usual way. You know how to tempt someone, and it didn't work for me. Now you want to use the emotional way. I don't want it. And I don't want you camping around. Because whatever you're waiting for, you will not get it. You can't get it from me. I will not leave Alpha Cyprus because of you. You aren't even worth my time. You showed me who you are when you threw me out and abandoned me like I was a nobody. And I plan on keeping it that way. I will always remember you as the evil Alpha who never wanted anything to do with me. I will always remember you as that. You only wanted my body and nothing else,” I said to him. 

I was about to storm off when he pulled me back so fast I couldn't even fight my way. He clenched my arms tightly. 

“Let me go,” I said to him angrily as he laughed. 

“No, I would not. We have to talk. We have to be serious about this. I am not who you think I am anymore. I can't hold on. I can't keep pretending like I am okay. I need you. I am serious. This is not about acting, emotional or not. I need you to help me.” 

“What do you want me to do? Why do you even need me in your life? From the rumors I heard, you have four wives. Isn't that even enough for you?” I said to him angrily, not out of jealousy, but out of spite that he wasn't satisfied with what he had. 

“I have four wives. Not that I needed four wives. I don't need you because I am a womanizer or anything. It's just I have a problem I'm facing, and only you can solve it for me,” he said to me, but I could tell he was still trying to push his ego away before he even uttered those words. 

“Well, I'm not going to help you with your problem. I don't plan to, and I don't want you to ruin my happy home for me because he is your brother. Please, just get the fuck out. I mean it this time around,” I said, still trying to fight my way from him as he pulled me back even more. 

“Please,” he said again. This time, his voice sounded different. I had never heard Alpha Sergius this way. Even though I didn't know him much, I never knew he was someone who could actually plead. 

“I'm sorry, at this point, I don't even want to listen to whatever reasons you have. I just want to go back in,” I said to him, also being sincere. 

“Please, I need your help. I am cursed. I can't have an heir without you,” he said angrily. 

“What?” He can't have an heir? It can't be possible because I'm pregnant.
