LOGINKaylee pov My mind is spinning with thoughts. I had hoped there would be a way to escape with my child after they revealed the truth. And yet here I am with no way out of it alive. "This isn't anything I want," I honestly tell her when she sighs and places her arm over my shoulders. "I know, and we can only hope you're not the heir to the Rawser family. That would be the best outcome. The other families are better than his family in every way, and I know they would be there for you if that was the case," she says, and a part of me feels a small glimmer of hope it might turn out good. "What's so bad with the Rawser family?" I have to ask her, it's better to know as much as possible. "There is a long story with him, and I don't even know where to begin," she says, taking a deep breath before she gets up from the bed and starts to pace back and forth in front of me, it's clear she is in deep thought. "The Rawser family has always been the problem at the Council for centuries, in
Kaylee pov Her words scare me to my bones. I'm not ready to be a mother yet, I have no idea what to do, and birthing a child when the situation is so messed up feels wrong. "Hey, I'm here," Heidi says to my side and grabs the towel from my hand, wrapping it around me before she wraps one around my hair. "Come, let's talk in the room," she says and pulls me with her out into the room, showing me to the bed where we both take a seat on the edge. "I'm not ready to be a mother. I have no idea how to be one, and bringing a child into this mess and instantly putting it in danger's way. "I can't, Heidi..." She stops me by placing a hand over both of mine in my lap. My heart feels heavy, I haven't even had my own mother. How am I supposed to fix this by myself? "The worry is natural to feel, I'm sure most of us felt the same way as you do. Even if we have grown up with our own mothers or not, the scary feeling you have is for the unknown of having a child, but I promise you once tha
Kaylee pov I won't leave her side that I'm certain of. I want to be close to Heidi, and I feel safest with her. I get the feeling she is the only one that really understands me. "Alright, we will have to think of something," Heidi says, and for the rest of the car ride, they talk in the front seat with each other. I'm glad they leave me alone to be in my thoughts. I'm exhausted by everything that's happened, and right now all I want is to pull a cover over my head and not get up for days. Can't I just have that? And I will think about the rest later, after I've rested and slept. "It's better if we stay in town, there aren't enough people who can guard the house," Heidi says from the front seat when we drive into the city. I'm not opposing it, even if I would have loved to stay in the house instead. "It's just fine," I say when she turns around in the front seat to look at me. "How do you feel?" She questions while Carl makes a turn with the car. I know there are only a few
Heidi pov Alora walks over to his body on the floor and starts to examine it. Turning towards me before she slowly gets up. "Thank you for the offer, but I have to stay here and make sure everyone is safe once he wakes up. I took this decision for her sake, and it's best for you to get away from here right now," she says and walks over to her mate. He places his arm around her shoulder and pulls her closer to him before giving her a kiss on her forehead. There is no doubt her mate is a great man and loves her, but I'm not sure they are safe once Aron wakes up and realizes Kaylee is gone. "But are you safe once he comes to it?" I have to ask her when she doesn't take her eyes away from me, that woman is determined. "As safe as we can be, but for now that's all we can do. Kaylee needs the rest, and we somehow need to get on top of everything. There is too much we have no knowledge of, and before we do, we can't solve it with a bloodbath," she honestly say and I agree with her co
Heidi pov Her words cut through the air like a knife, hard and determined with a threat I know she will fulfill. Her body language tells me everything I need to know, her face shows raw emotions, and he would be a fool to not listen to her and realize she is serious about it. "Can you all calm down a bit?" Alora says and takes several steps closer. That woman has surprised me a lot since I've met her. She is observant and can read the room and put two and two together without knowing the whole story, she is clever. I hardly ever come across someone like her and I know in another time we could have been great friends. "This isn't necessary, and I know it can be solved without a fight," she continues to say, but on that point I'm not sure I agree with her. Aron won't let Kaylee leave without a fight, but that woman has surprised me before. "She will stay!" Aron booms before dropping his hold on Carl who as usual doesn't overreact and takes every situation calmly. I'm not surprised
Kaylee pov Everyone else in the room slowly starts to fade away right before my eyes, his face is all I'm seeing when I feel hurt and betrayed by this revelation. "You used me!" I hear those words on repeat in my head over and over again before my lips form them into words. I thought it was something else, that it meant something to him, but I was just delusional. Or I fooled myself by the way I wanted him, I thought he wanted me as his mate. What he said wasn't true? He just used me for his gain? "That's exactly what he did, just like the ruthless Alpha he is. Or he would have told you before Kaylee, giving you the chance to decide for yourself what you wanted before he marked you. Did he give you the chance? Did he even try to explain anything to you?" I hear Heidi's voice to my right, every word is cutting through my body. Painful and raw, she could have used a knife, and that would probably have felt the same. My mind takes me back to yesterday, when I went in with him. Him
Dane pov More of the guards start to take off their clothes while I look at Aron and try to keep what I know to myself. "No, there wasn't anything else. Where do you want us all to go?" I ask him when I see him looking closely at me with his black eyes. His wolf is always close by, and you can't
Kaylee pov I'm trying to figure out what to say in response to her without telling her I'm carrying his child and he is my mate. He knows the truth that I wasn't a rogue before, but that won't help me anyway. "I ended up on his pack grounds by mistake," I say, and look down on my lap again when
Kaylee pov I can't believe how good he fixed my hair, even with the empty spots, I have never had this beautiful hair in my life. Dragging my hand through the blond curls, it feels so soft. "Do you like it?" he says from behind when I lift my eyes in the mirror and look at him instead. "It's a
Dane pov The run back doesn't take too long, and once we reach the pack grounds, I instantly take off towards the hospital. I know she will be there and working. It doesn't matter what happened before or how hurt she got, my mate is a tough one and the best woman the moon goddess could ever have g
