I don't think you should leave." Grace spoke as she held my hair backward while I retched into the toilet bowl. Her words unsettled my stomach and I felt another wave of puke threatening to spill out if I wasn't careful so I shook my head slowly."What do you mean by no? You do know that I mean well right? How would you say that you want to leave in this condition? At least, I can't be free to release you, I don't know what anyone else is saying." She said and I stared at her. Why was she yelling into my eardrums? I was pretty sure that she was thinking of a way to probably bundle me to the doctor's unfortunately, she couldn't do that."See, Ember, I..." " Think that I should be left alone for a minute, please. I can't deal with this right now." I replied and retched again. I sighed as she passed me a paper towel which I dabbed my mouth with, flushed the bile, and finally rose.I was lightheaded and my legs felt like jelly. They couldn't support my weight. I touched the wall for sup

Ember's POVI felt like a ton of bricks just hit me and my mouth refused to close. "Pregnant?" I whispered as if saying it aloud would render it null. "Are you serious?" The doctor stared at me with a raised brow and waited for a minute before talking. "Yes, ma'am. You're six weeks pregnant." Oh my goodness. I had been pregnant all these while yet I didn't know. How cool was that? My hands flew instinctively to my stomach as I cushioned the pup that was growing in my womb. It was a massive shock to me and I didn't hear the other things that she was saying."Please give us a minute." I heard my dad say and I raised my head to see what was happening.My eyes widened considerably as I stared at the almost empty room, my father's eyes bored into mine and a small smile broke out on my face before a burst of great laughter ensued. "I'm pregnant, Dad. Can you believe that?" I muttered and came down from the bed trying to slip my fee

A small clearing of throat made me realize that I was just staring at him. He was a tall man with a broad chest. A bit tapered on the waist with beards that could compete with the length of my hair. He looked... Wild?My eyes traveled from the top of his head to the sole of his feet marking all the features, checking to see if he was worth my time one bit. At the end of the day, I discovered one thing. He was a strong man. The way his knuckles clenched, I saw his muscles bulging in his arms and I smiled.Good! This man's house would be a perfect hideout from Xander. His aura was very strong almost taking up all the space in the room. These hands must know how to wield dangerous weapons of war. Was he an Alpha? I wasn't sure that I had heard his name before.I heard another cough in the distance and I finally lifted my head to meet his inspecting gaze. He was probably assessing me to see if I was worthy to be his mate. Since this was not a bond from the goddess, it was surely going t

Ember's POV"And with that, we present to you the latest couple. Mr and Mrs Williams!" The priest announced.Two hours later, I was being shipped off to my husband's house. The wedding was a knit one and I wasn't even interested in having it publicized. "You'll be fine. Have a nice life." My father had bade me when he hugged me and I nodded in faux agreement. Of course, he'd think that I would be happy.I entered the car and watched as the driver ignited the car and zoomed off. My house got smaller as he sped away. I felt a nudge and I looked up at the stranger that I was going to live with." Care to share your thoughts?" He inquired and I chuckled softly trying to play things cool. "What do you think? I mean, can you guess?" I joked and he shook his head at my cavalier tone obviously not expecting the switch because I was looking morose just a few minutes ago.Well, welcome to my world. A land of unpredictable outcomes. " So, what are you thinking about too?" I inquired.He shrugg

Ember's POVTwo weeks later, "Are you pregnant, Ember?" Trent called halfway into the room. I turned from the sink. I was still having dizzy spells and nausea. I had begun to show but I was masking it with a spray and wearing big dresses that hid my stomach. I rinsed my mouth and stared at him."Yes.""When did you notice?""Two weeks ago." I watched his eyes light up after doing the quick math. It was when we had sex. I held my breath as I waited for his response. " What do you think?""What do you mean by that?" He inquired and I shook my head. What was wrong with me? Of course, he wasn't supposed to think about anything.I looked sideways pretending to be a bit wary. "we've never discussed childbearing. I don't know what your take is on that." I replied, whilst dabbing my lips with a napkin."Oh, really? What do you think?""I know that you'd like an heir but I don't know how soon." I replied carefully. One had to be wise when dealing with people like this. I had come to discove
