I sat behind my massive mahogany desk and stared at the dark screen of my cell phone.

It had been exactly sixty-five minutes since Jett grabbed his messenger bag and walked out of the executive suite.

The normal commute from the corporate building to his small apartment usually took forty-five minutes on the subway.

I factored in a little extra time for the afternoon crowds, but the agonizing wait was still tearing my nerves to shreds.

I tapped my fingers against the polished wood and listened

    Nathaniel was already watching him, and Rosalie would arrive in the city very soon to demand my undivided attention.If Jett was weak and sick, he would be an easy target for the ruthless purebloods on the high council.They would use his frail human body as leverage to force me into compliance, and they would not hesitate to bleed him dry.I needed him healthy and strong so I could smuggle him out of the territory if the political war suddenly turned violent.I rubbed my hands over my face and let out a low, frustrated growl that vibrated in the quiet room.I promised myself I would respect his boundaries and give him the space he demanded in the hallway last week.I tried to play the role of the distant, professional CEO so he would feel safe and comfortable in my presence.But sitting in a glass tower while he was missing and potentially hurt was absolute torture.I could not protect him from the pack council or my arranged fiancée if I did not even know where he was right now.My

    I sat behind my massive mahogany desk and stared at the dark screen of my cell phone.It had been exactly sixty-five minutes since Jett grabbed his messenger bag and walked out of the executive suite.The normal commute from the corporate building to his small apartment usually took forty-five minutes on the subway.I factored in a little extra time for the afternoon crowds, but the agonizing wait was still tearing my nerves to shreds.I tapped my fingers against the polished wood and listened to the steady ticking of the wall clock.Every single second felt like an hour, and the slow passage of time was testing the absolute limits of my sanity.The silence of the empty office was usually a welcome relief after a long day of fielding angry investor calls.Today, the quiet room just felt like a heavy, suffocating cage.My inner wolf paced relentlessly in the shadows of my mind, whining with a deep and persistent distress.The beast hated the fact that I let our fragile human walk out t

    I wasn't going to wait around for my stomach to grow or for the bizarre symptoms to put me in the hospital. Worse, I would be called a freak of nature. I will lose my job and become homeless.I needed to know exactly what he put inside me, and I needed to know how to stop it before it killed me.I scrambled up from the floor, my leather shoes slipping slightly on the smooth tiles.I grabbed the pregnancy test and threw it into the trash can so I wouldn't have to look at those damn lines anymore.I unlocked the bathroom door and rushed down the short hallway into my living room.My encrypted laptop was still sitting closed on the small kitchen table where I left it yesterday.I ripped the messenger bag off my shoulder and dropped it onto the nearest chair.I flipped the computer open and hammered my fingers against the keyboard to bypass the standard login screen.The terminal window popped up, glowing brightly in the dim light of my apartment.My hands were still shaking, so I kept hi

    My hand trembled so violently that my fingers simply gave out.The plastic test slipped from my palm and hit the bathroom tiles with a sharp clatter that echoed loudly in the small room.I stumbled backward away from the sink because my legs suddenly refused to hold my weight anymore.My spine hit the hard wood of the locked door, and I slid all the way down until I sat on the cold floor.My chest heaved as I desperately tried to pull oxygen into my burning lungs.The air in the bathroom felt too thick to breathe, and black spots started dancing around the edges of my vision.I pressed the heels of my hands against my eyes to stop the room from spinning."No, no, this is literally impossible," I whispered into the quiet space.Men do not get pregnant because we do not have the anatomy for it.It goes against every single rule of science, and yet those two pink lines were glaring up at me from the floor.I dropped my hands and stared at the plastic stick resting near my shoe.My ration

    I stared at the rows of bright pink and blue boxes stacked neatly on the shelves.My rational brain screamed at me to keep walking, reminding me how ridiculous this entire impulse was.If anyone from the corporate office saw me buying a pregnancy test, they would think I had completely lost my mind.I shifted my weight from foot to foot, arguing with myself in the middle of the quiet store.But the deep, primal intuition inside my gut refused to let me walk away without knowing the truth.I checked over my shoulder to make sure the aisle was empty before reaching out with a trembling hand.I bypassed the cheap generic brands and grabbed a box that promised rapid, accurate results.I shoved the small cardboard square deep into the main pocket of my leather messenger bag.I practically ran to the self-checkout register near the front doors, scanning the barcode with jerky, panicked movements.The machine beeped loudly, and the sound felt like a massive alarm drawing everyone's attention

  • PREGNANT AFTER ONE NIGHT STAND WITH THE LYCAN KING   40 - JETT'S POV

    I stared at him like he had suddenly grown a second head.Ren sat completely still across the small table, waiting for an answer to his completely absurd question.I opened my mouth to speak, but no words came out because I was too baffled by the accusation.I took a quick, discreet sniff of my own collar, expecting to smell the lingering scent of stale coffee or sweat.Instead, I just smelled my expensive cedarwood body wash and the fresh fabric softener I used on my laundry.I knew I smelled damn good, and his weird comment felt like a direct insult to my personal hygiene.I spent a lot of money on my cologne, and I always made sure my corporate suits were perfectly dry-cleaned."My scent is not changing, Ren," I told him with a defensive edge to my voice."I have used the exact same soap for three years, so I really don't know what you are talking about."Ren narrowed his pale eyes, looking like he wanted to press the issue and drag an impossible confession out of me.His broad sh
