The Alpha's Mistake

-Chapter 12-

The door opened and I was left feeling a mixture of both speechless and angered.

"You?"

"I can explain."

"You better."

My tired yet newly angered gaze was met with the despaired gaze of Stella. What was she doing here?

I walked in, slammed the door shut and pointed towards the sofas in the lounge. She had some explaining to do and yes as much as I really disliked her, I wasn't going to make her stand in the freezing patio. Although if she found her way inside my house- who knows how long she has been inside?

"Ahem."
I coughed, wanting nothing other than for Stella to give me a valid explanation of why the heck she was in my house and leave. I was still hungry and tired, so the longer Stella took- the longer I'd have to spend without food.

"Well then? Hurry it up please, I'm hungry- starving actually, so if you don't mind?"
I urged her to start speaking through a hand gesture and plopped down not onto the sofa but on the floor opposite her- now that I think of it the mud on my dress would probably ruin the cream coloured sofas mum had specifically ordered from Italy. They arrived literally just a month ago, and I really didn't want to pay for them to be cleaned or replaced because I sat there and left shît like stains.

"I know you're pregnant."

Not ruining the sofas was the thought running through my head, and it was when Stella spoke up with what she had to say, that I was brought back to reality.

How on Earth did she know? Me and Mia were the only ones in the infirmary the entire time. And afterwards we were in the woods, no one from the pack even realised we were in the infirmary hiding from rogues and then slipped out the back entrance to take the shortcut home.

"That's not true."
My voice came out icier than I expected it to, which wasn't a good thing. I had to act normal. Any unreasonable reaction on my behalf would confirm Stella's suspicions.

Except Stella isn't suspecting I'm pregnant. She's downright stated that she knows I am pregnant.

"Listen...Ari-"

"Do NOT call me that. Now that I've established I am not pregnant, can you leave my house?"

"No, please listen-"

"That wasn't a request. It was an order."

Standing there huffing, I didn't expect Stella to whip out the three of the however many pregnancy tests I did at the infirmary; all of them being positive.

"What you think randomly showing me three positive pregnancy tests is going to make me believe you? Please."
I scoffed but on the inside I was starting to believe that Stella really did know I was pregnant.

"Ariana please believe me. I saw you and Mia go into the infirmary. I went in to get you guys when the pack officials asked for everyone to assemble in the woods. But by the time I got there, I realised you guys had probably ignored the announcement and attempted taking the shortcut home. That's when my gaze fell upon the pregnancy tests." 
Stella reasoned and it made a bit of sense.
