JARED'S POV

I patted my belly with satisfaction written across my face.

Mother Juliana had spent a whole hour feeding me, placing different dishes on my plate until I had no means to swallow the food anymore.

Father Leo wasn't any different either. He practically gave me all the meat from his plate. His smile grew bigger as I ate everything he gave, and to not disappoint him, I made sure to eat almost everything he sent to my plate.

I drew in a deep breath, trying to hide my excitement. Across the table, Sterly's face was all red from Drake's endless pestering.

"I want to give Jared that sunset paint. Which do you want?" Drake chirped.

Sterly chewed silently, ignoring Drake.

But Drake wasn't depressed. He laughed and held Sterly's arm. "My darling little brother, won't you make big brother happy? Just a word. Say anything you want, and I'd paint it for you." He pleaded.

I watched with great interest.

    JAREDThe next morning, I woke up earlier than usual. Had a short bath and immediately dressed up for class. I tiptoed downstairs, inwardly praying that Sterly wouldn't notice my action. Fortunately, everything worked well, and even after I left the compound, no one stopped me. I swiped up my phone and booked a ride down to school. Twenty minutes later, a yellow car parked in front of me, and the driver quickly recognized me. Fearful of being caught, I entered the cab and told the man the address to my school. Only when the car started did I breathe in relief. The heavy weight in my chest seemed to be loosened. Looking at the phone which had been silent for a while. I decided to send a message to Sterly to let him know that I had something to do in school. Typing the lies, I felt guilty. But then again, what was I supposed to do?Having spent a sleepless night, thinking about so ma

  • HIS RELUCTANT MATE   CHAPTER 55: PANIC

    JARED Unable to comprehend what was going on in my mind, I could only place the phone to my ear as I waited for Stephen to stop scolding his naughty lover. "Ah yes, Jared. I'm in Ryan's house. I said, stop. Don't touch that place, damn it. Don't push it in." My lips pursed. Blush crept to my face and directly went toward my neck. "Jared, are you there?" Stephen was already panting. Intermittent moans escaped from each word. I gritted my teeth as my blood boiled furiously. "Fuck off." I groaned and ended the call. "What was that?"A particular alluring voice entered my ears, and turning my head, I saw the blindingly handsome Mr. Sterly standing a few feet away with obvious concern on his perfect face. I felt like my skin was burning. Biting my lower lip, I hid my phone and shook my head. "It's nothing. Let's go in to eat. Also, I want something heavy instead." Damn that Stephen. I was worried about him, thinking he would need some time before he could accept the pregnancy. B

  • HIS RELUCTANT MATE   CHAPTER 54: EMOTIONS

    JAREDI stood by the roadside, lost in thought. The only thing that came to mind was that I needed to wait for Sterly. He'd said earlier that he was on his way, and this was the only thing that kept me rooted to a place since Stephen left. I watched as cars passed by. My mind swirled with thoughts. Right then, a silver-colored car stopped before me, and the window wound down, revealing a stunningly handsome face. Seeing the man in the car, my lips slowly pursed, and my eyes reddened. Tears welled up in my eyes, threatening to fall. Without waiting for him to say a word, I opened the door and stepped in. Our eyes met, his heterochromatic eyes revealed all the worries he might have tried to hide, and right then, my chest clenched. I wrapped my arms around his waist, hugged him tightly, and began crying. "Stephen... he's pregnant. My friend is pregnant." I cried out loud. Sterly seemed to tense up for a moment as my body trembled against him. My tears stained his shirt, and I

  • HIS RELUCTANT MATE   CHAPTER 53: CONFLICT

    JAREDI followed after Stephen in a daze, unable to comprehend what was going on in my heart. My phone buzzed endlessly in my pocket, but only after I watched as Stephen entered a cab and drove off did I bring out my phone and answer the call without glancing at it. "Jared? Jared?" A familiar worried voice rang through the phone. My body trembled as I brought the phone to my ear. My lips parted, wanting to say something, but only tears rolled down my cheeks. I raised a finger and wiped. Why was I crying?"Jared, are you okay? What happened earlier? Why did you end the call? Jared?" Sterly's concerned voice continued ringing. I stretched my wet finger toward the direction the car left, and my heart thumped. "I'm coming to the hospital right away. Wait for me, okay?" Said Sterly as the sounds of hurried footsteps sounded over the phone. But my thoughts remain

  • HIS RELUCTANT MATE   CHAPTER 52: PREGNANCY

    STEPHEN I stared at the doctor with amusement in my eyes, but the little bit of smile died down again. After leaving Jared worriedly, staying at my side for an hour, why would the doctor expect me to joke around with him? Honestly, even though Jared could not understand why the doctor wasn't eager to treat me, I knew it. In a society where only alphas and omegas were important, betas like me sometimes seemed like a waste of space. When things happened, people would care about omegas more and then ask about the Alphas. But betas? We were more like weeds. Most times, unwanted...But it still annoyed me at times. The only reason I hadn't lost my mind all these years was that even though Jared was a beta, he had never had to experience the cruelty betas experienced in our society. Mainly because of his physique. Jared was born beautiful. He had a small physique, though tall, he was lean and with lean but exquisite muscles. With a glance at his tender face, anyone would think he was

  • HIS RELUCTANT MATE   CHAPTER 51: HOSPITAL

    JAREDAfter an hour of waiting beside a sleeping Stephen, he finally opened his eyes and looked around with confusion in his eyes. "You are here." He said, his tone a bit relieved but still weak. I nodded, taking his hand in mine and squeezing briefly. "I haven't called aunt and uncle. I didn't want to trouble them if the case is not urgent." I explained to him. Stephen nodded as he understood. He sighed and tried to sit up. Seeing that, I stood up and helped him sit. With a pillow behind him, he finally looked comfortable. "The result isn't out?" He asked. I shook my head. "It isn't," I replied. The doctor immediately performed several tests on Stephen when we arrived at the hospital, but even after an hour, there was still no response from the doctor. It made someone troubled and angry at the same time. Stephen frowned. "It's getting late. What's taking them so long? I'm certain it's just indigestion. I don't understand why they have to conduct so many tests on me." His voi
