《Submission in Secret: Alpha In Heat》全部章節：第 251 章 - 第 260 章

GABRIELLA’S POV Bella stood up and held my hand as more tears rolled down her cheeks. “I swear, I didn't plan any of this. I just can't bear to kill an innocent child. As long as I get child support, I can go faraway with my baby and never show my face in the Nightbourne Pack.”I sighed. “Technically, that's not an option for you. Our family will never allow our blood to live away from us. Besides, if it comes out in the future that Gabriel has an illegitimate child, it would ruin him and he would be stripped of his title as Alpha. We can't risk that.” “Then what do you want me to do?” she collapsed on the ground. “Honestly, I also don't want an innocent child to suffer. If the child is really my brother as you claim, then it's up to you to decide if you will marry him and end up in a loveless marriage or get rid of the baby and forget that any of this ever happened,” I said.She looked up at me. “Do you want me to get rid of the baby, so you brother can be happy with the woman he

ELIAS'S POVMy heart was pounding so hard I could hear it in my ears.Kael's words echoed in my head as I walked down the hallway toward Rowan's room. "If you can make his brain remember, then help his heart remember you."It sounded insane but it was worth the shot. I couldn't just sit back and wait for him to decide if he wanted to remember when I could just let him know me now.I stopped in front of his door and forced myself to take a breath. Then I smoothed my expression into something that looked normal or as normal as I could manage when I felt like I was falling apart inside.I knocked twice."Come in." His voice sent a shiver through me. It was Rowan's voice, the same one that had moaned my name a hundred times in the dark, that had laughed with me until we couldn't breathe, that had promised me forever.But the tone was different now, it was colder and measured.I pushed the door open and stepped inside.Rowan sat at a small desk by the window, a pair of headphones around h

GABRIELLA'S POVThe breakfast table felt empty with me sitting at my father's left, who was at the head of the table, mechanically cutting into his eggs without any real appetite. My mother came down later and slid into her usual seat with a heavy sigh."Gabriel won't come down," she said, answering the question no one had asked yet.I stabbed a piece of bacon with more force than necessary. "He can't hide in that room forever.""He's not hiding," my mother said softly. "He's drowning."My father set down his fork with a clatter. "The deed has been done and he has to move on and accept it.""Honey..""Don't," My father's voice was sharp, but his eyes were tired. "I love our son, but I raised him better than this. Whether he remembers that night or not, that woman is already carrying the heir of the Nightbourne pack. He has no choice but to take responsibility for both of them. And if it means canceling his engagement with Valerie, then so be it."I didn't disagree, but I also didn't

ELIAS'S POVThe walk back to the mansion was unbearable. Rowan walked a few feet ahead of me, his cap pulled low to cover his faceHe didn't even look back at me, not once. I watched the muscles in his shoulders tense with every step, and I wanted to say something, anything, to break the silence, but the words wouldn't come.Because what was I supposed to say? Sorry for kissing you? But why should I be the one apologising? He kissed me, too.I ran my fingers through my hair and just followed behind him in silence.When we reached the mansion, Rowan paused at the bottom of the stairs. For a moment, I thought he might turn around and say something that might give me some sign that I hadn't completely ruined whatever fragile connection we were building."Goodnight, Elias," was all he said before climbing the stairs without looking back.I stood there for a long moment, staring at the empty staircase.Then I dragged myself up to my own room.Kael was already inside when I opened the door.

ELIAS'S POVAlpha Gerald had insisted on speaking to Rowan alone. I'd left them in Rowan's room, closing the door gently behind me, and now I stood in my father's study, staring at the same walls that had witnessed every difficult conversation of my life.My father sat behind his massive oak desk, his fingers steepled beneath his chin. He looked tired. The lines around his eyes seemed deeper than they had a month ago."Sit down, Elias," he said and I obeyed."Alpha Gerald will be in there for a while. He has a lot to say to his son." My father paused. "And you and I have things to discuss."I already didn't like where this was going."What kind of things?"My father leaned back in his chair. "What are you going to do if Rowan decides he doesn't want his memories back?"The question landed hard. I opened my mouth, then closed it."I'm not sure yet," I admitted finally. "I'm going to wait until he makes a decision. I won't push him anymore.""That's not what I asked." My father's voice
