Alison’s POVI know that Ralph might have an explanation for this. God knows that I want to hear him out and give him a chance to explain, but even so, I’m still hurt. I never thought pregnancy would make me this vulnerable, both emotionally and physically. Things I used to gloss over now hurt my feelings, and things I used to do easily now feel like a chore. Isaac’s words do not make me feel better; they strike the wrong chords within me.He walked up to my bed and placed his hand on my shoulder,“Listen. I know that he’s made sweet promises to you and even got you pregnant, but I bet you that this is part of his bigger plan to get you to breed for him. Ralph was not created to settle down. Once his offspring are born, he will continue to parade other she-wolves in your face.”“It’s not true!” I shrieked, yet my tears proved that I was buying every bit of the story. I was weeping beyond condolence, but Isaac did little to nothing to comfort me. He only hovered over me, waiting for me
Alison’s POVI woke up to a doctor checking my vitals, with a drip on my hand. It seemed that Ralph was still not back from wherever he went, it was beginning to feel like I had been abandoned, though I was in a hospital and well taken care of, it doesn’t match up to him being here with me. I need emotional support.Iris brought me food, and sat by my bed trying to keep me company, she wore a cheerful smile as usual,“Hi, I brought you some dumplings,” she said, “I hope you have the energy to chew?”I smiled and nodded, “But where’s Ralph?” I asked.She sighed, “Am I not enough for you?” and with that question she giggled, Ralph had to leave because the crowd was getting massive, he was afraid your identity could get exposed.” I wish I could believe that, but I heard the question Mike asked, he asked if I was more important than the pack, I didn’t hear Ralph’s response but after that question I didn’t see him again, he must have made a decision, he definitely chose his pack over me.
Ralph’s POV I woke up in a room that looked like a studio. It had the podcast mic and backdrop. I could perceive Melody’s scent in the room but I wasn’t sure of where exactly she was in the room.“Just find Alison, that’s the only way we can keep him under control.” I heard her instruct someone over the phone I guess.Alison? Oh no! Thanks to those silly reporters these guys probably know that she’s in the hospital, and in her condition, she can’t run or even walk on her own. I won’t be able to forgive myself if something happens to her.I closed my eyes pretending to be still unconscious and linked Mike,“Is Iris at the ward with Alison?”“Yes Alpha, she’s there with her.”“I don’t think it’s a good idea. Can you tell her to take Alison home?” I requested.“I’m sorry Ralph, but Alison is on a ventilator to help her breathe. We can’t move her around, she was resuscitated once to keep her heart beating.”I tried to move out of desperation but I soon discovered that I was still paralyz
Third Person POVRalph got into his car, bolting it safely to avoid any reporter from breaking in. “Alpha, it seems these reporters want trouble. Just a few minutes in the hospital and they’re spreading pictures everywhere.” The cook said showing his phone’s screen to Ralph, “The rumors might just be true as Ralph was spotted at the Moonlight general hospital whisking a mystery woman to the emergency ward.” The first paragraph read.With his eyes closed, Ralph leaned back onto the headrest, “Even in a storm, these people still have time to pry into my life.” He muttered.“Sometimes I wonder how the news leaked, do you think Anne told them? The news only got out after you confirmed it to her,” the cook asked.Ralph started getting flashbacks of the images he saw of Anne and Simon along with Melody, and started to suspect that his cook could be right. “That stupid Simon! I will kill him.” He exclaimed. The conversation he had with his driver flashed through his mind. The conversation
Third Person POVThings were beginning to look ugly for Ralph and his team. The public was demanding that he step out of his room and defend himself or give an explanation at least. People on Garry’s team had labeled Ralph a human killer and were daring him to disprove these rumors. For three weeks Ralph and his team didn’t respond, nor did they campaign. Alison’s second month was coming to an end and her health was deteriorating, Ralph was way too nervous and scared to be bothered about what the public was saying about him.On this particular night, Alison woke up crying, “My abdomen, my heart. I don’t know what’s happening Ralph.” She went on crying. Ralph didn’t waste time, he called Dr. Mac immediately and asked her to come.“I’m on my way, give her water and do some breathing exercises with her I will be there soon,” she said. Ralph practiced some breathing exercises with Alison, while anxiously waiting for the doctor. A few minutes into the exercise, he couldn't help but notice
Ralph POVAlison had drifted off to sleep again, so I tiptoed out of the room to handle the affairs I needed to handle. I was still avoiding any public appearances because of the chaos going on there, and I wasn't ready to respond to any reporter.I was busily scheduling meetings and responding to emails when I heard my driver approaching my door, “Come in,” I said without allowing him to knock.He greeted me and placed a paper bag containing Alison’s supplements on my desk.“I got all of them except the last one on the list so I was en route to another pharmacy and guess who I saw?”My ears perked up to hear more. “Garry? Isaac?” I just randomly guessed because I didn’t have anyone in mind.“You’re great at guessing, I saw Isaac and guess who was with him?… Simon! The very guy you hired to investigate your shooting incident and all your attacks.”I dropped my pen and sat up; because of Alison’s pregnancy and her complications, I had totally abandoned these investigations. Isaac is c
