Bullied By My Alpha Stepbrother novel Chapter 76

Jasmine

“What is it? Are you sure that you are really fine?” She probed again.

I had no idea how I was feeling if I was being sincere. From finding out I was pregnant to being rejected by Hardin who had not bothered to think for a second that he was responsible, to watching him go ahead with the ball to find his mate, to finally shifting into my wolf and getting kidnapped by Lorenzo who I had truly believed was my friend and would not harm me, and now anticipating how Mom and Russo will feel about everything when they found out?

Who was I lying to? I was not okay, but I could not tell Mom.

I nodded, "I am fine. I am just really stressed out." And she reached out to run a hand through my hair. "You should rest then."

"I will."

That's true, Hardin,” she mentioned as she made to leave, and I felt my heart skip. "He should be back, have you gone to thank him? He was so terrified when he came to tell us that you were missing. He even asked that the ball be canceled so he could go look for you. He is so sweet and caring, I think you should go thank him now."

I resisted the urge to scoff loud enough to mom's hearing but internally, I rolled my eyes.

"Okay, I will make sure to thank him. Can I rest now?"

"You should just go now," Mom tried to query, but I was the last person in the mood for it at that moment.

“Honestly, mum, I think that we should have this conversation of me thanking him another time. I just went through so much stress, and you know it. I am really tired now.” I interjected and when she wanted to speak, I shook my head.

“Please mum, can you allow me to rest now?”

I hated that her face fell because of me but I was hurting. Nothing about this would ever be convenient for me.
