Alle Kapitel von Loathed by the Alpha: Kapitel 121 – Kapitel 130

I swallowed at the question. My throat was dry, and, oddly, my nerves, which had entirely dissipated for a while, returned with full force. My hands felt clammy as I looked up at Aiden, skin lamenting with goosebumps. I couldn't help but think back to the time that intensified my fear and bought us to this stage.    "Umm....when I asked you about pups, you sounded so against the idea that it terrified me, Aiden." My eyes fixed on the plush carpet on the floor, watching the patterns on them. I couldn't quite bring myself to say this straight to his face. Despite everything we have shared, it's too much.   He exhaled loudly. "Oh!"   Aiden reached out with his hand, slowly enough so that if I chose, I could stop him. I didn't. His hand, warm and surprisingly rough, rested atop mine and squeezed, the

Silence settled between us, thick and overwhelming as we took in Jade's words. I stilled in my seat, the arms of the chair digging into my sides, legs pushed against the ground firmly. On instinct, my hand immediately went around the pudge of my tummy, eyes filling with tears. This felt like a punishment, an undeserving one at that. Why couldn’t my body accept our pup? Felt unreal.    From the corner of my eyes, I saw Aiden shift in his seat, face turning white as a sheet.    A lump lodged in my throat, which I swallowed with great difficulty, croaking out the words. “J-Jade, you must be mistaken. Check again. Please.”   The witch winced, making a sympathising face as she shook her head. “I am afraid not, Miss Rose. You see th

/Aiden's POV/  Rose is pregnant. That's a constant thought buzzing in my head, words whirling in my ears. She's carrying my pup, which can very well harm her. Moons, I cursed under my breath while watching her walk out of the door.   The constant fear of my mate not coming back to me was draining; I didn't have any power over those thoughts. Ever since I confessed to Rose about us being mates, things have gradually shifted between us. At least for me, feeling a huge weight being lifted off my shoulders.    I have always been scared of having pups, baring a huge responsibility when I barely had anyone to look upto. Hearing my mate confirm my suspicion about her pregnancy, elated me. There's no one else I could trust into starting a family with. Perhaps not quite so early, not when things took such a drastic tur

Aiden and Liam insisted on staying back and helping the guards find the killer. Meanwhile, the Pack Alpha asked my mother to keep me company. My breath was still coming out shaky, slight tremors going through my body, knees wobbly as I walked to my cabin.     Once inside, I showed my mother around, making sure to make a nice meal since we both were hungry.    "Thank you for letting me in, my dear."   "Mom! It's nothing. Besides, I have been thinking of asking you to come live with me anyway." I admitted, cheeks feeling hot, toes lazily tracing the carpeted floor. "Thank you for coming along."    "Anything for you." She placed a warm, comforting hand on top of mine, almost making

It's been a while, so I decided to visit the packhouse and see my mother. She must have difficulty adjusting to the new place with so many strange scents and people. As soon I stepped inside, I could hear voices from the kitchen at the back. Pups were running around in the living room as always, but I stood there, taking in their giggles and crinkled eyes.     For a long minute, I couldn't help but imagine watching my pup in the near future, acting the same way. A weak grin stretched across my lips, and I rubbed my belly on instinct before walking away.     I dodged the other people and slumped on the barstool, pouring a glass of water, humming under my breath. The sudden presence of someone on my right had me stilling slightly. The heavy scent of lemons and the slightes
