Jenna's POV

"Where am I?" It was the first thing I said in a whisper-voice when I came around.

I was in a car— a limousine, lying in a seat and covered with a blanket that smelled like smoked wood. The inside of the car was painted expensive red and there was very little light. I pressed my lips together as I attempted to sit up.

I may have caused a rustling sound because next, a pair of strong hands came out of nowhere. My heart skipped a beat when they held my shoulders and helped me to sit.

"Thanks, but who are you? Is this your car?" I asked as I whimpered quietly.

My belly was big between us. Although my vision wasn't very clear right now, I saw the man's eyes focused on my belly. I immediately covered it with a hand, making his eyes snap up. That's when lights filled the car and I gasped in bewilderment.

Goddess! The man was gorgeous. It was as if a hot, very hot male lead character jumped out of the Korean Manhwa. His hair was platinum silver, skin tanned and eyes so gray, I had to hold back my breaths for a minute. His jaw was sharp like a knife and his lips... My heart staggered as I observed his pink, finely-shaped lips.

Down below, he had a thick and veiny neck, which made me gulp hard. Damn it! I was a married woman, and carrying a child. Why was I feeling tingles between my legs!

'Has he really jumped out of a Korean Manhwa? Goddess, look at his broad shoulders. Can you please wrap your arms around them so we can feel him up?' My wolf was salivating at the sight of him.

'No, way! Control yourself. We have a mate.'

'Who's going to be an ex-mate very soon?' Her reply got me looking down.

But that was a mistake because I noticed a portion of his strong chest, peeking out of his shirt. An urge to run my fingers down the open buttons gripped me, but I clenched my hands tightly into balls to avoid it.

A cough from him got me shaking. I looked up and opened my mouth in daze because his eyes were really pretty.

"Done checking me out!"

"Huh?"

"I said—"

"Be a little gentle, Mad Alpha! She's carrying a child." A male voice sounded out of nowhere that interrupted this man in front of me from whatever he was going to say.

"Yeah, right!" The gray-eyed man jumped inside the car and sat across from me as his expression changed. If it was full of arrogance before, now he looked calm, but totally stoic.

"I want to leave." I tried to get up when the man extended a hand out, blocking the opened door of the car.

"You can't."

"I can't? And who do you think you are to stop me!" Anger boiled through me. I was suddenly in possessive-protective mode. I also noticed the man was taking unnecessarily long and desperate glances at my belly, making my body tense in alarm.

The man gave me a lazy look like talking to me was a waste of time. That alone caused irritation to spark through me. What does he think of himself? Judging by his expensive black suit, I can tell he's some wealthy man. But I'm the Luna of this pack.

I was about to snap at him and set him right when another head peeked inside the car. Again, I gasped because this man was also gorgeous.

"Hey, I'm Oakley Voss. His Beta." He grinned before sitting beside the arrogant man, who I now know is an Alpha.

"So you're an Alpha, and you don't know how to respect a Luna? This is really disappointing. Has no one taught you manners in your pack! Didn't your Alpha father send you to training before he gave you the pack? You are so—"

"Do you always speak so much... Like a chatter box with no pause button?" He said with a dead look and my jaw dropped.

"You–"

"Okay, okay, you guys," Oakley raised his hands between us. "Can we please do this nicely? Jace, don't be rude. That's not exactly how you speak to a frightened pregnant woman. And Luna Jenna, I hope you can be a little respectful to him since he saved you."

The last part of his sentence made my body lock up. I remembered how I felt weirdly shaky near the lake. I hastily gazed out and realized we were parked beside the lake. I would have fallen, and God forbid, lost my child too had this Alpha Jace not come.

"You saved me?" I asked gently, my face becoming soft. He just shrugged like it wasn't a big deal.

"Thank you, Alpha Jace. I'm glad you came, although I wasn't informed about your visit. If I knew you're coming, I would have sent my Beta to get you." I smiled, though I honestly had no idea he was an Alpha of which pack.

I have never heard his name before, after all. Sure, I heard many named Jace. But an Alpha named Jace was new to me.

I was going to extend my token of gratitude to him when he said something that closed my throat.

"I came because I found out where my child is."

My fingers tightened over my stomach, "Your child?"

His gaze dropped briefly to my stomach before returning to my eyes, "Yeah. He's mine."

Whatever gratitude I felt earlier now turned to animosity. I knew at once that the man was lying. I heard Chris and Henry talk about the real father of my baby being a weak omega.

My heart rate was spiking again. Luckily Gianna pointed it out and I composed myself. However, now my eyes desperately lingered at the open door. I need to find a way to get out.

"Look, I'm really happy that you saved me. I need to go home now. So if you please—"

"I think you didn't hear me, woman." A burst of adrenaline electrified my veins as he placed both his hands on the seat, caging me in. "The baby you're carrying... It's mine."

My hands tightened around my belly. More because since he came close, my baby started kicking wildly. This was exactly how he had been kicking near the lake before I passed out.

I was this close to crying in helplessness when my wolf remarked, 'Maybe he's right, Jenna. Our son... He... Let's not say it now else you'll go mad.'

'What is it, Gianna, tell me?'

I never got to hear my wolf's words as Alpha Jace turned my face to him by my chin.

"Listen, I'm not here to scare you. Calm down as I don't want my child to suffer."

I slapped his hand away and shifted back, my eyes jumping from one man to another. My body was shaking and on top of that, my baby was fluttering in my belly like a butterfly.

"How is it possible? You're an Alpha and my husband said the donor of the sperm we used was an omega male’s." I gritted my teeth.

Oakley leaned towards me while producing a document, "I can help here, Luna Jenna. The thing is... The doctor at the lab made a mistake. He was drunk and he used Jace's sperm mistakenly. But he kept quiet because he was afraid of losing his job— or worse his life because he was strictly instructed to use an omega's sperm for you."

"So you're saying your Alpha is the donor?"

A faint, humorless smile touched Jace's lips, "He's saying I'm the biological father of the child you're carrying."

My brows pulled together. My hands instinctively covered my stomach. Jace's eyes lowered. His eyebrows knitted but he didn't say anything.

I was glad he wasn't because what I was feeling right now was too intense, too raw, and too terrifying.

I was fine when I heard my baby was an omega's. That meant I was solely responsible for my child even if Chris kicked us out. Though I was a bit scared of raising it alone, this new revelation at hand made me feel helplessly bound.

I looked up at Alpha Jace's face. His eyes were steel-like cold and the way his face was set, it appeared that he hadn't smiled in years. The fact that he came from money made it even more difficult because— I couldn't even try to deny him any right over my child.

"Luna Jenna, I also have the confession video of the doctor." Oakley said and played a recording on his phone.

Surely, the doctor of the fertility center we went to through Henry's recommendation was sitting on his knees, shaking and crying in fright. His face was bloody and battered. One of his eyes was black and his nose looked like it was broken. He confessed to drinking during work hours and making that mistake.

"So you see, we are not lying here. And we're not here to intimidate you either. We just—" His face paled as his eyes dipped down between my legs.

I became conscious and shot out a hand to touch between my legs.

There was wetness there, which I hadn't noticed before. Trembles shook my body, and before I could react, a gush of fluid suddenly spilled between my legs, dripping onto their shoes. Shit, my water had broken.

I stared at the two men, especially Alpha Jace whose back erected like steel was lodged into his spine. We were looking at each other. He extended a hand out to hold mine when it happened, my first ever contraction.

"Ahhhhhhh!" And I screamed.

Tbc...
