Chapter Forty Eight

Recap for those that skipped last chapter:

If you read it, just skip a little bit, you will see the next chapter below.

It's pretty short. Matthew and Kayla slept together then this happened;

"Well, good but I'm sorry because this," he moves his hands in our direction and then the bed "us, it's never happening again."

My hands fall to my sides as he pulls his shirt over his head. My toes curl as my stomach starts to turn. That's when the first tear slips down my cheek. I brush it off.

"Do you realise you're hurting me?" I croak out in an uneven voice, my vision blurred. "Do you realise that with every unkind and indifferent word you say to me, you shatter my heart? Do you understand that you're destroying the very person you vowed to love? To protect? I know you feel it when you hurt me but yet, you keep doing it,"

"Enough Mikayla!" He halts me, shaking his head firmly as he points at me, pushing his messy hair around. "Always sob stories with you. I'm tired of it and you."

"So the truth finally emerges," I scoff, dazed with hurt that has me trembling on the bed.

"I'm going on vacation, Mikayla. See you eventually," he walks away and slams the door wickedly behind him. I come undone.

Now for this chapter. Be prepared for this one.

Two & A Half Months Later...

"Dad, I'm pregnant," I announce as I walk into my father's bedroom.

His back straightens in his wheelchair instantly as his eyes grow wider in surprise. Mer who is behind him smiles a little bit then looks away from me and at Jane on the bed who as usual, is distant and unresponsive.

Ever since Matthew left again, I had to deal with alot of things. I've also understood alot of things. He placed his close ally Curt as a step-in Alpha for him to oversee the pack without him. And from the moment I started throwing up in the sink every morning and eating anything in sight, I knew I was pregnant. I only confirmed it after lifting up my jumper in front of the mirror yesterday and seeing the bump. It's a small bump but one that simply can't be missed. (Author side note: in my book, werewolf pregnancies last seven months. So the bump can be seen from towards the third month)

"That's why you've been gaining weight," Mer mutters lowly and I nod, understanding what she's referring to. In the past two months, I've gained back all the weight I lost. I'm no longer the thin Kayla that looked like a corpse that would break with the slightest touch.

My father only nods, his eyes not leaving mine while I make myself comfortable next to Jane.

"But how is that possible?" He blurts out, eyebrows arched. "How did you and him even make that baby?The guy barely looked at you. It's his baby, right?"

The flat look I give my father has him looking away from me.

"Are you sure?" My father questions again. I lift up my jumper. In my sitting position, my tiny bump is more visible. Mer and him gasp slightly then look over at each other. "Did you tell him?"

I shake my head, pushing Jane's hair back.

"Will you tell him?" This question comes from Mer.

"If he ever comes back, why not?" I remark.

"So you won't call him?"

I suck in a deep breath.

"Mikayla," My father begins softly. "He's an Alpha."
