All Chapters of From Heartbreak To Stepmom: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Alison’s POVI had successfully done a week without crying because I have Roberta by my side, though I was secretly hoping that Ralph would reach out, he hasn’t but that’s okay, I have new hobbies and Roberta to talk to and keep me company. Today we have a day off so we decided to go to the beach and relax. I woke up when Roberta was still sleeping and tried to slip out of bed and take a shower, but I suddenly got crippled with excruciating pain in my waist.It was sharp as if I had been cut with a knife. I shut my eyes tightly, unable to scream, the pain moved swiftly to my abdomen, and then I felt something wet between my thighs. I touched and stared at my fingers wondering why it was red. Why am I bleeding? Why can’t I get up? Am I dying? Have I been poisoned?The pain in my waist worsened until I yelped in pain, Roberta opened her eyes and stared at me.“What’s wrong?”“My waist… my abdomen. I’ve never felt this kind of pain before, “ I cried.“Do you have dysmenorrhea?” she asked

Ralph’s POVToday Alison smells so wolfish, is it only me? Or do other wolves perceive this smell too? I had questions so I stayed close to Melody in the home spa and observed as Alison massaged her, from her reactions and how relaxed she was it was obvious that she hadn’t noticed the change in Alison’s natural scent. Perhaps I was the only one perceiving it.When they went downstairs, I observed as Iris spoke to Alison and her friend. She also acted normally. When she came up to me, she didn’t mention anything about Alison, so I concluded that she also didn’t perceive it. I decided to let it go and focus on my work, but occasionally, that singular incident lingered on in my memory.About a week and a half later, I was fishing. The water was so clear that I could see my target. I lowered my bait into the river, and just as I thought, this fish caught the hook. However, when I drew my hook out of the water, there was no fish at the end of my hook. It was a pup, a beautiful brown pup! W

Alison’s POVI need my mom, I miss her so much. It’s in times like these that I wish she hadn’t betrayed me like she did. I called in sick and excused myself from work and reeled in pain in my bed, when I couldn’t take it anymore, I called my mother.It hurts that everyone else has hurt and abandoned me. Roberta was also giving me the cold shoulder, I needed someone and my mother was the only one I could think of.“Can you please come over? I’m sick.” I pleaded with her over the phone. She must have flown here because she arrived about 30 minutes after the call, and barged into my room.I don’t know what happened, but I burst into tears as soon as I saw her face. She trotted to my side, hugged me, and then quickly let go.“You’re so warm and your face… What's wrong? Let’s go to the hospital.” She said, packing up my stuff.“I’m pregnant…” I broke the news. She stopped packing immediately and froze for a few seconds. When she defrosted she slowly sat at the edge of the bed staring at

Third Person POVAfter Melody’s shift at the studio, she managed to drive to Anne’s office to talk to her. Something wasn’t right, and she needed to clear her mind. She walked in without an appointment since everyone at Anne’s place knew her.Anne observed that her friend looked dejected and concluded that she was back to complain about the Alpha Ralph. “Howdy!” She tried to cheer her up but Melody sat across from her with a dull look on her face.“I think it was a mistake for Ralph and Alison to end whatever was going on between them,” Melody remarked.“Huh?” Anne involuntarily exclaimed, she never thought that a day would come when she would hear such a thing from any female ever. “Melody, I thought you were in love with Ralph.”“I am,” Melody replied. “But I must admit, that ever since Alison appeared in our relationship, Ralph has been the best version of himself. He will pop up at the spa, he will do what I ask…”“He didn’t pop up at the spa to see you…”“But at least he used to

Alison’s POV“There’s something you should know,” he said. I stared at him, my eyes possibly searching for a glimmer of hope.“I have lied to you several times and I’m sorry,” he said. What did he lie about? That he wasn’t married? That he wasn’t a murderer? What on earth did he lie about? I could feel my chest getting heavy even before he went on.“I’m not who I made myself to be,” he said again. I was starting to hyperventilate, I hated the suspense he was putting me through, I wanted to yell at him to go straight to the point but I didn’t have the energy to yell, so calmly, I asked.“Who are you?”“I’m a wolf… just like you have always suspected.” He replied with his piercing eyes looking straight into mine.Something about what he said made me laugh. He was a rich man, a grown man, yet he was running so fast from responsibility. What a shame! “You will say anything to get out of this mess right? You don’t have to worry about me, I can do this alone.”He nodded, “You don’t belie
