Alison POV

On the second day of admission, I was already doing great. I sat on my bed and had my lunch. The nurse attending to me came by to do her checkup, so I seized the opportunity to ask questions.

“I heard that the longer you stay here the more the bills pile up, is that true?”

“Yes it is, it’s calculated per night.”

I gasped, I have to be out of here by tonight if I don’t want to owe a fortune.

“But you’re Mr. Van Dyke’s family right? He’s taken care of everything.”

“Oh,” I managed to muffle, why on earth would he list me as his family member when I don’t even know him? What kind of family members sleep with each other? Oh did he mean husband and wife? No, no, he can’t be serious. What happened between us was a one-time thing that had left me afraid and ashamed to look him in the eye.

Maybe I should escape from this place before he gets back, I looked around to see if I had any belongings in the room. My phone, my purse, my laptop. Where are they? Did they drown with me? Oh goo

    Ralph’s POVThe past week has been terrible. I have been locked up in my room trying to give Alison hell but it didn’t seem to be working. It was making me sick, I can’t treat the woman I love like this and at the same time I want her to live. I thought her hate for me would make her do as I was forcing her to do but boy was I wrong. As I sat on my bed drinking some hard liquor one guard came up to me.“Alpha Ralph, I just got a call from one of the spies, it looks like the young miss still didn’t get the abortion like you had presumed. She’s still at home sick and has been to work just twice this week.”My wolf was snarling and urging me to go and see her. “She needs you, maybe if you tell her the truth, then she will get rid of it like you want her to.”What my wolf was saying made a lot of sense to me but I know how this works. Coming clean to her about my identity might not be the best idea, I’ve seen how werewolves get treated anytime we reveal our identity to these humans. They

    Third Person POVAfter Melody’s shift at the studio, she managed to drive to Anne’s office to talk to her. Something wasn’t right, and she needed to clear her mind. She walked in without an appointment since everyone at Anne’s place knew her.Anne observed that her friend looked dejected and concluded that she was back to complain about the Alpha Ralph. “Howdy!” She tried to cheer her up but Melody sat across from her with a dull look on her face.“I think it was a mistake for Ralph and Alison to end whatever was going on between them,” Melody remarked.“Huh?” Anne involuntarily exclaimed, she never thought that a day would come when she would hear such a thing from any female ever. “Melody, I thought you were in love with Ralph.”“I am,” Melody replied. “But I must admit, that ever since Alison appeared in our relationship, Ralph has been the best version of himself. He will pop up at the spa, he will do what I ask…”“He didn’t pop up at the spa to see you…”“But at least he used to

    Alison POV“Why didn’t you just abort me?”I queried her,“You were all I had left. I couldn’t afford to lose you too. That’s why I kept you.”“Why am I using the surname of such a ruthless family? I don’t want it! I’m changing it to yours.” I began to lament as I developed a sudden hatred for my father’s side of the family.“It was to protect you. I knew that they were searching for me to make sure that I got rid of you as they told me to. They didn’t want anything about me to interfere with their son’s political career. I changed my last name to Quinn on your birth certificate because I knew they would search for me using my legal name. They will never think to search for me using their own name.” She explained.I get her reluctance to give out information about who my family was but I’m okay with what she has told me now, I will use the information I have now, to find out who they are. I just want to know them, so I will know who to stay away from.“I don’t want you to suffer the s

    Alison’s POVI need my mom, I miss her so much. It’s in times like these that I wish she hadn’t betrayed me like she did. I called in sick and excused myself from work and reeled in pain in my bed, when I couldn’t take it anymore, I called my mother.It hurts that everyone else has hurt and abandoned me. Roberta was also giving me the cold shoulder, I needed someone and my mother was the only one I could think of.“Can you please come over? I’m sick.” I pleaded with her over the phone. She must have flown here because she arrived about 30 minutes after the call, and barged into my room.I don’t know what happened, but I burst into tears as soon as I saw her face. She trotted to my side, hugged me, and then quickly let go.“You’re so warm and your face… What's wrong? Let’s go to the hospital.” She said, packing up my stuff.“I’m pregnant…” I broke the news. She stopped packing immediately and froze for a few seconds. When she defrosted she slowly sat at the edge of the bed staring at

    Alison’s POVI thought I was doing better till I saw Ralph again today at the lobby. To say that it messed me up was an understatement, my heart was shattered all over again. My anguish was far from over, I don’t know how I’m going to tell him that I’m carrying his child and from the way he looked at me it was as if he knew.Roberta saw me dash into the staff room and walked up to me,“Are you okay?” I shook my head, “Ralph was in the lobby.” She raised her eyebrows, and I could understand her astonishment. Ever since our relationship ended Ralph has never set foot here but today of all days he was here, it was one of the strangest coincidences ever. It was like fate had presented me with the opportunity to break the news to him.“I think this is your best opportunity to break the news to him! Don’t tell me you didn’t…”She looked horrified as I shook my head,“You said he blocked all access to him and now you had the perfect opportunity and still didn’t take it!” She stopped ramblin

    Ralph’s POVToday Alison smells so wolfish, is it only me? Or do other wolves perceive this smell too? I had questions so I stayed close to Melody in the home spa and observed as Alison massaged her, from her reactions and how relaxed she was it was obvious that she hadn’t noticed the change in Alison’s natural scent. Perhaps I was the only one perceiving it.When they went downstairs, I observed as Iris spoke to Alison and her friend. She also acted normally. When she came up to me, she didn’t mention anything about Alison, so I concluded that she also didn’t perceive it. I decided to let it go and focus on my work, but occasionally, that singular incident lingered on in my memory.About a week and a half later, I was fishing. The water was so clear that I could see my target. I lowered my bait into the river, and just as I thought, this fish caught the hook. However, when I drew my hook out of the water, there was no fish at the end of my hook. It was a pup, a beautiful brown pup! W
