Alpha Alexander novel Chapter 3

Scarlett:

I put a hand on my stomach as I walked around the streets, heading to the apartment that I rented, having finished my last shift of the day.

“Don’t worry, my love, mummy will keep you safe” I said, speaking to my baby. It killed me to admit, but knowing that Alexander didn’t know that he was going to have a baby made me feel somewhat guilty. But I also knew the consequences of telling him that I was, and I knew that I couldn’t handle them.

A child of a mating who I was forced to hide in fear of getting told to abort it.

I didn’t want to, and I was determined to protect my child if it cost my life, and if the man threatened me as not to reveal the fact that he cheated on his ‘girlfriend’ to sleep with me, wanting to feed his sexual hunger; then he was not going to hesitate to tell me to lose the child in fear of everyone’s reaction.

Having been working for a month before I left the pack and two months now that I was away from it, I knew that I could support myself and my child, if only a little when I didn’t have any allowance from Alpha Mathew anymore. The man has more than enough for me, and I was thankful for being able to save up most of the allowance he gave me over the year when I initially planned to get myself a car, but getting pregnant changed my plans for me, not that I minded. At least I knew that I wasn’t going to be alone, theoretically, I was going to start my own family, something which I was deprived from.

No one knew about my job, and instead, everyone thought that I was studying for university exams, or doing my projects. I was, when everyone fell asleep, I would study, but during the day, I was between my classes which I switched to being online, and between work to afford a living for myself and my child.

I entered one of the grocery stores on the way, getting myself something to eat, a loaf of bread, a few bottles of water, and two bottles of peanut butter and jam should last me a few days at least. The less I spent on myself, the more I could save for my child’s needs, and being a wolf, I knew that I didn’t have much time anyway.

Thankfully, when I started working, I was already showing and they could only assume that I was in my sixth month. My stomach was hidden back at the back under the mom jeans that I bought while back at the pack, and the loose shirts that they were used to me wearing; therefore, thankfully, when I did join them for dinner mainly, most of my day was either spent out of the pack or at my house, and when the first full moon hit, I made sure to pretend to go and shift with ‘friends’ that I didn’t really have, outside the pack’s grounds. Alexander didn’t really care, and since that was the case, his father didn’t question me. But, when everything came down to it, no one suspected a thing.

“That would be five dollars, ma’am” the cashier said, looking at the things that I bought. She looked at my stomach and smiled, handing me another loaf of bread, as well as a bottle of milk “these are on the house, I wish you a safe delivery, ma’am”

“Thank you so much” I said, putting a hand on my stomach.

“You are very welcome, ma’am” she said, nodding at me.
