The Alpha King Call Boy novel Chapter 5

Fiona

My breath caught when the door opened. There was a round little man in a hotel staff uniform.

“How can I help you?”

I couldn’t speak. Nina pushed me aside. “I’m looking for my friend. He was staying in this room about two weeks ago?”

“This is a residential suite. We don’t rent it out. You must have the wrong floor.” The staff member started to close the door in Nina’s face.

She shot out a hand to stop him. We need to talk to whoever lives here?”

The staff member pushed her fingers off the door. “I can’t release personal information. You can check with the front desk to see if they can help you.”

The door clicked closed.

I stood in the hotel hallway for a long time, feeling numb. Nina looked like a bomb had gone off on her. “Great. Just great.”

"Nina, it's okay. I'll figure something out," I said, taking a deep breath and trying to remain calm, but the room was spinning before my eyes.

Nina hugged me tightly as we walked back towards the elevator. I rested my head against her shoulder and we both sighed. The price of one night of reckless abandon was far greater than I could have ever imagined. I had slept with a stranger and was now carrying his child.

"How can this be okay?" Nina's eyes widened in disbelief.

Being unmarried and pregnant was a great shame for nobility, and if anyone found out, my vain father would likely banish me from the pack just to save face. If I became a rogue, my unborn child would have no chance of survival.

I put my hand on my flat belly and made a resolution to do whatever it takes to keep this secret hidden.

The next day I sat in front of the mirror, watching the makeup artist prepare me for the wedding disinterestedly. My father had taken control over my mind and body. I couldn’t resist him. I was just a puppet at his mercy.

With my silver hair once again pinned up in loose curls and my makeup perfectly placed.

The makeup artist exclaimed, “You look beautiful. Baron is a lucky dog.”

I nodded kindly at her and walked out of the room toward the most beautiful garden in all of King Pack. With all the cherry blossoms opened in their pale pinks and whites it had been the ideal setting for every noble’s wedding for generations.

The layers of my dress rustled against the grass and the breeze cooled my hot skin. To think only a few weeks ago I was in this dress headed this very way to practice saying my vows when Baron had come up missing. So much had changed in such a short time.

The wedding had been canceled, rescheduled and now I was pregnant by another man. The girl that had last worn this dress seemed a million miles away. Now here I am walking past Baron in a handsome tuxedo holding another woman in a dark corner of the garden.

Lily was crying, looking pitiful and helpless, and Baron comforted her with a pained expression.

When Baron noticed me, he looked resentful.

His marriage was also related to his position as heir. Although Baron didn’t want me, he didn't dare contradict his father.

Baron was embarrassed and his expression twisted with anger. However, Lily gave a strange smile and a sick feeling washed over me.

"Don't think you've won yet. Just wait, the real show is yet to come," she said, her voice firm and cold.

I felt a sense of anxiety wash over me, but the next second Lily pulled Baron along and they walked away. I tried to push down my feelings of unease and walked with a furrowed brow towards the end of the path where the ceremony would begin, and I would find my father waiting.

My father appeared and pulled the wedding veil over my face. As the music sounded and my father and I began to walk toward the rows of guests, gasps of amazement sounded all around. My father enjoyed the flattery of others and squeezed my hand pleased.

I couldn't help but find it a bit ironic that it was only in public settings like this that my father was willing to show any affection towards me.

As I took my place across from Baron, my father and Baron’s gave short speeches about the union of these two packs and how things would be better together.

Lily suddenly burst across the garden in front of my father.

“No. No. Fiona cannot marry Baron. She is not qualified to become the next Luna of the Blue Moon pack.”

Baron reached out and pulled her away from the Alphas.

“Fiona is pregnant, but the child isn't Baron's. I have evidence! ”

“......！”
