REYNOLDS' POV.I stepped out of the car, and right on cue, I realised I was correct; something had indeed gone wrong with her."Get the heck away from her!" I yelled at them. They were thugs, with clothes wrapped above their noses, concealing their identity. Everything felt wrong, yet strangely off. The air hung heavy with an unsettling tension.They were frightened, clearly not anticipating anyone to be around or find them.The first one, with a blue cloth over his face, lunged at me, wielding a plank. I engaged, throwing punches into the air with a visceral determination. Some of my blows connected with him, but I didn't care about the hits. My sole focus was inflicting the same pain upon him that they intended for Kayla.The plank slammed against my knee, forcing me to bend as I crashed hard onto the floor, bruises forming instantly. Gritting my teeth, I pushed myself up, clutching the plank with my right arm. With a swift punch, I knocked him off his feet, and he winced in pain

AVA'S POV.Nothing could be done; I was to be blamed; I should have gotten rid of her when I had the chance to do so. The frown on my face intensified as my eyes bore into Alpha Reynolds'; I bit down on my lips as I thought fast, hard, and quickly of a way out of the whole mess I had gotten myself into."Answer! Ava! Are you pregnant, or not?" He inquired, and I had no idea what he thought in his head but one thing I knew was that he wasn't joking; he was dead serious. I couldn't stop worrying, not at such a point.There was no way in hell I was letting that happen; I couldn't disgrace myself any more.So I summoned up the courage to respond as supposed."I am pregnant, Alpha Reynolds; why would you believe her over me? It shouldn't be this way. I am the mother of your child, and she is a nobody. I feel terrible. Do you know how much this hurts me?" I questioned, forced tears trickling down my cheeks as I wiped them away from my eyes. Fortunately for me, I had trained hard, so it

REYNOLDS' POV.The pressure became unbearable, and I clung to my self-restraint with a tenacity that strained every fibre of my being. The eerie silence of the deserted place, devoid of any bustling pedestrians, provided a fitting backdrop to the internal struggle I grappled with.I traced a series of lingering kisses along the curve of her neck, delicately lifting the edge of her top as I guided her with measured precision into the car. Slipping in beside her, I felt the heat of the moment intensify as she leaned into my kiss, her head finding a comfortable rest against the opposite door. With deliberate intent, I tilted her legs, one gracefully positioned against the chair, the other sensually bent over the car seat, heightening the palpable intensity of our intimate encounter.My head descended to her wet pussy, a realm that exuded warmth and dampness, the rich scent of her arousal enveloping my senses. I delicately traced my tongue along the sensitive tip, her clit, and sensed

KAYLA'S POV"I can't, I won't," I protested, a desperate plea escaping my lips as I squirmed, attempting to distance myself from his car. However, his demeanour remained steadfast, a resolute expression on his face, his gaze unwaveringly fixed on the road ahead, seemingly impervious to my turmoil."I can't do this, Reynolds, please stop. We've been down this road before, and you know how it turns out every time. I'm genuinely sorry for the mess that's unfolded so unexpectedly. I truly wish there was a way for us to navigate through this, but I just can't, Reynolds. Please, stop," I pleaded earnestly. Despite my heartfelt appeals, my words seemed to fall on deaf ears. Reynolds stayed seated, unmoved and unresponsive. It was as if he cared little for my distress, finding his amusement in this situation.The car eventually rolled past the gates and halted near the entrance. I swallowed nervously, perplexed as to why he was so deeply involved in this entire situation."Get down!" he ord

REYNOLDS' POV.As I racked my brain in a frantic attempt to formulate a plan, the realisation dawned upon me with alarming clarity: Ava was mere footsteps away, her presence signalled by the unmistakable creak of the door swinging open in the adjacent room. Panic surged through me like a tidal wave, my mind racing a mile a minute as I grappled with the impending crisis unfolding before us. It wasn't Ava's well-meaning yet misguided ideas and intentions that troubled me, but rather the devastating blow that would be dealt to Adora."I'm truly sorry, but I need to step out for a moment. Please, stay here. I'll handle this," I murmured softly to Kayla, feeling her grip tighten on my arm as she looked up at me with a mixture of apprehension and concern etched across her features. It was evident that worry gnawed at her, digging deep into her core and leaving her visibly distressed. My heart ached at the sight of her anguish, yet I knew that I couldn't afford to falter or hesitate in t
