Pregnant Before Goodbye; His Misjudged Luna のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 51 - チャプター 60

FREYA“Do I look nervous?” I asked Derek anxiously as he held my arm. I felt nervous actually. My heart was knocking rapidly against my chest. Disregarding Leo's order as Alpha King was a boundary I never thought I'd cross. He chuckled and pressed a kiss to the side of my head. “No you’re not, and you're going to be the most gorgeous woman in there. I promise.” That conversation happened just before the door was opened, but now, with all eyes fastened on Derek and I.I felt suddenly nervous again. Derek led me down into the grand ballroom, chuckling. “Look, I promised you you'd be the best dressed.” I clutched his arm more as I avoided everyone's eyes, my heart thudding like it would explode from my chest, and my knees feeling like jelly.I had never been in such a tense environment. I could spy Leo and Caroline at the table in the center of the room, but I looked away rapidly. He had commanded me not to bring Derek, but there he was with Caroline? I lifted my chin, refusing to

FREYAMy guts squeezed hard with each second I was locked in that dark room. The air became colder with each second that passed. I didn’t know how long I had been stranded in there, but every minute was heavy like a weight strapped around my neck. The walls pressed in closer the longer I stood still. The lights were dim, most of them barely working, and shadows fell in angles across the floor. I tried to move, to sit, to pace, but it felt like the entire room turned to cobwebs. Something floated across my cheek and I jerked back violently, slapping the air.I stumbled backward into the wall, my palm hitting the cold surface, and the soft brush of cobwebs covered my skin like needles. My heartbeat turned manic. I blinked wildly, trying to force myself to breathe, but it was no use. The space was too small. Too quiet. My panic spread like wildfire, quick and suffocating.The silence was so thick I could hear my own pulse echoing in my ears.And then I thought I heard them.Outside

FREYA Ashford shook his head, sliding his fingers into his pockets casually. “None at all, Alpha. The Luna and I are only stepping out for lunch.”Was he crazy? I bit my lip to keep from staring at him askance. Of course now Leo would question why Ashford should be going to lunch with me. Leo turned his gaze on me. “lunch with my wife?” “Is there a problem, Leo?” I asked sharply, refusing to be backed into a corner. “None at all. But, I find that I’m hungry. I shall join the two of you to lunch. And didn’t you say last night there was something you wanted to discuss with me?” He asked flatly. “I’m afraid you’re not invited. As for the meeting with your lawyers, we can handle that right now. I am ready to buy back my parents debts. Please have them calculate the total amount.” I marched past him. His arm shot out, clasping my arm and jerking me to a stop. I stared down at his fingers coldly, then up into his face. His eyes had darkened and chilled. His lips were pressed flat, a

FREYAA dark light slithered and settled in Derek’s eyes. His eyes swept down my body. “You?” I flushed, face burning like he’d set me on fire with his gaze. “Derek!”Of course I didn’t mean I wanted to sleep with him in exchange for the money. He smirked, turning his face away to hide the twitch of his lips. I slapped my palm against his thigh. “What is wrong with you?”“Can’t blame a man for trying.”I gritted my teeth, hiding the way my heart skipped when he caught my hand and pressed a tiny kiss to the pulse point under my wrist. “I meant i would work for you. I have skills, a few of them no one else can replicate. And I’ll pay you when Silverstone begins making its own money.” I muttered, ripping my hand from his. He chuckled. “Silverstone cannot afford to repay me ten million dollars, and if we’re being honest, neither can you.” I sat back, feeling stumped for a moment. He was right, we couldn’t. In the best case scenario, the soonest Silverstone could make any money was tw

FREYAI woke with a startle. White light burned my eyes. I squeezed them closed, my ears buzzing.With my eyes closed, memories assailed me. I saw the fruit tray falling from my grasp. The blood. Falling off the bed. My heart slamming hard and harsh in my chest as I tried and failed to catch my breath. A finger stroked across my knuckle and my eyes jerked open, clashing with Derek’s. His eyes were bloodshot. They widened, and he stood, hovering over me. “Freya?”His whisper was so choked with hope that for a second, I had to close my eyes. “I’ll get you the doctor.” He murmured, sweeping my hair away from my forehead. My fingers clasped around his fingers urgently. “My baby… please tell me my baby’s fine.” I cried. “Open your eyes.” He whispered. He must have scooted closer because when my eyes opened, his gaze was right there in front of mine. “Your baby is fine.”I exhaled a rush of air. I let him go, my fingers crawling over my stomach, to tighten protectively around my belly
