Instructions

Bianca's heart had been racing erratically ever since Ethan requested for a proof of pregnancy, and worse, Alex, his over keen assistant was right there with her to ensure she didn't doctor the result.

She sat there, hoping for an escape. If Ethan found out that her pregnancy claim was a lie, he would be mad at her deception and lock her out. 

She played with her fingers nervously while Alex sat there, waiting for her to go in. He had received clear instructions from his boss to follow through the process. And seeing how nervous she was, he knew she was hiding something.

But for the life of him, he would never understand why his boss had decided to go back to his ex wife. Alpha Ethan had been barely alive until he found Abigail. He had seen how much he changed and he didn't care about the age difference. And the past few days without her had been torturous for him.

He could never understand Alpha Ethan.

“Why are you here anyway?” Bianca barked at him. “Isn't Ethan coming?”

She was desperately scratching around for ways to get rid of him.

“He's engaged with the new company.”

Bianca rolled her eyes. “And since when did you become his assistant in charge of office matters?”

Alex scoffed softly, enough to express his annoyance but quiet enough for just him to hear.

“It's relating to the pack,” he answered. “You're carrying the Alpha's son.”

“Then why are you here, shadowing me all day? Tell me, will you follow me to the bathroom?”

“I'm only assigned to accompany you to the doctor's office.”

Bianca was feeling frustrated. Ethan sending his assistant meant he suspected her. Pa Frey had told her that if she failed, he wouldn't help her again. She couldn't. Not when she was developing these crazy feelings for Ethan again. 

He was different now, not like when they were together. Everything about him felt youthful and she had fallen in love with the Ethan she was seeing. She could not give him up for a girl old enough to be his daughter.

She stood up. “in that case…I'm heading to the bathroom.”

Alex didn't say anything. He didn't like the fact that he was in a hospital, waiting for Bianca to walk into the doctor's office and confirm her pregnancy. There were so many things that needed attention. He was supposed to be out with Alpha Ethan and in Dark city figuring out the leader of the rogue wolves and he was stuck babysitting.

Bianca reached for her phone the moment she was out of Alex's watchful gaze. She tried reaching Pa Frey. He had to find a way to get her out of the mess. His line rang on continuously as she paced the corridor, ditching the bathroom.

Finally, she heard the sound of his voice in a low grumble.

“Pa Frey,” she started. “I really need your help.”

She looked around for any sign of Alex. 

“What's the matter?” She heard Pa Frey ask. “Are you keeping Ethan away from that hybrid?”

“Yes, sir. But I've got a problem.” She paused, forming the sentence in her head before she spilled it out. “I had to lie that I was pregnant otherwise Ethan would have kicked me out.”

“Kick you out?” Pa Frey asked, his tone rising. She could tell was angry and disappointed. “Then you aren't doing a good job.”

“I am! I promise you that I am. Everything's been going well until…”

She regretted starting a sentence that was going to ruin her. But Pa Frey wanted to hear what she was going to say.

“Until what?”

“I need you to help me.”

There was a long pause from the patriarch. “He's with her, isn't he?”

“No,” Bianca blurted. “But it's difficult because they see at work every day.”

“Shouldn't you have made him forget about her already?”

Bianca hated Pa Frey's urgency. It was bad enough that his son, the Alpha of the pack, was chasing young girl around that his son had fucked tirelessly, and his father was demanding for the impossible. 

She bit down the anger and smiled. “I'm doing just that…but I need your support.”

“What do you want?” He finally asked.

Bianca exhaled. “I lied that I was pregnant and now he wants a pregnancy result.”

Pa Frey frowned. “Do I have to do everything for you? Don't you know how to bribe a doctor?”

“I do. But he has Alex here with me.”

“You shouldn't be lying about a pregnancy!” Pa Frey barked. “Get pregnant. If that hybrid girl gets pregnant, I'll put the blame on you.”

Bianca clenched her jaw. “That's why you have to help me.”

She would have snapped and yell something about how his son was sick. But she needed the old man's favour.

“I'll sort it out,” Pa Frey finally said. “Return in five minutes and he'll be gone.”

Bianca idled in the bathroom for an extra ten minutes, glancing at her reflection and just looking around. By the time she returned, Alex and his gaze were gone. A satisfied smile appeared on her face. Even though pa Frey was a pain in the neck, he knew how to get the job done.

When she reached home, she had a fake test result declaring her pregnant. She could bid her time. She was declared a week pregnant. She had until three weeks before Ethan would be able to smell her lie.

Three weeks to get rid of the hybrid girl who was frolicking shamelessly around an Alpha.

She scoffed angrily as she placed the envelope down.

“A hybrid should know her place.”

She sat there, waiting for him, until she dozed off. She woke up a while later and discovered it was getting late. Ethan was not yet back. 

She grabbed her phone and tried calling when she heard a knock on the door. Her worry vanished and she reached for the door. But a frown appeared on her face when she saw Alex there.

“Alpha Ethan can't make it tonight,” he announced, shattering her heart. “He has some imposter meetings to attend.”

Bianca shook her head. She wasn't three, neither was she a fool. 

“He's with her, isn't he?” She demanded.

But Alex's face was as unreadable as a stone. He pushed the door wide open and stepped in. If his boss was spending the night with the hybrid that made him glow, he didn't mind spending the night watching Bianca.
