Xena’s POVI stood in front of the mirror, brushing my hair slowly. My fingers moved without much thought. I wasn’t sure why I felt nervous—maybe it was because I was going to meet Alpha Brandon, or maybe it was because of what Kael said last night. “Get yourself together,” I said to myself. “You can't back down now, Xena, Kael would only see you worthy if you can bring this deal down, he doesn't care about you, if you lose this child, he would just find a replacement. This child is the only ticket to your survival and your only ticket to revenge… Chloe and Jason must not get away with it. Remember the goal.”I picked up the black dress lying on the bed and held it up. It was simple, and it was the only thing that could perfectly conceal my growing baby bump. I sighed, sliding into the dress, when I heard a knock on the door.Before I could answer, the door opened, and Susan walked in, holding a small wooden box in her hands.“I brought something,” she said, walking over to the tabl

Xena’s POVI ran to my room like the devil was chasing me. My heart was pounding so hard I thought it would jump out of my chest. I slammed the door shut behind me and locked it, pressing my back to the door, trying to catch my breath. My cheeks were burning, and I felt like I was about to explode.Susan turned to me, her eyes widened in curiosity. “Did you see it?” She asked, rushing towards me.
