Semua Bab My Alpha Mate Rejected my Divine Pregnancy : Bab 1 - Bab 6

“Lila, you’re pregnant.”Elena, the pack’s healer and my guardian, had spoken those words when she was in the cottage earlier today. They cut through me like a knife, and they still rang in my ears long after she was gone.Pregnant? How could that be? I had never even been touched by a man.I sat up on the small bed in the tiny cottage the pack had given me, staring into space. My heart pounded so hard it echoed in my ears. The silence pressed in on me, I was all alone now.“I… I think you must be mistaken,” I had responded to her, my throat dry. “That’s not possible.”Elena had only looked at me with pity, her wrinkled hands clutching the herbal concoction she’d made earlier. “The signs are clear, my child.

For two days I perfected the art of being a ghost. I slipped past others like smoke, hiding in the corners of the kitchens or the forgotten shelves of the laundry. I ate in the kitchen when no one was around, I took the long way through the laundry corridors, to slip out when returning to my cottage while the other omegas gathered to gossip, not like they noticed anyway.

Blending into nothingness just required less effort than usual.I sat on the creaky bed in my cottage looking at the simple plain dress I’m to wear this evening. Tonight is the mate ceremony, lanterns already being strung through the courtyard and the heavy scent of fresh pine covering the stale air of the Ranch.
