Hiding the Alpha’s Heir

“Marry you again?” I parroted, feeling my blood boil. I couldn’t help standing up from this madness Desmond had thought again.

He arched his eyebrow. “You said that you are prepared for the consequences. Then, this is it. You are going to marry me again.” There was a condescending smile written on his lips.

It was as if he already knew that I was going to initiate sex from him. He was well aware of my pregnancy hormones…

“No,” I said in a determined tone before I started picking up my clothes and dressed up.

“Seraphina, whether you like it or not, you are going to marry me again!” He roughly yanked my arm, meeting his darkened face.

I scoffed. How dare… “In our agreement of divorcing our marriage, you promised that you are not going to scheme on me again, Desmond!” I clenched my hands. “What is this that you are forcing me to marry you again?” I yanked my arm back before I slapped his face. “You never change!”

“Seraphina, this is the only way that we can reconcile-”

Before he could finish his words, I slapped him and looked at him in disbelief. “Reconcile? By forcing me into marriage?” I started laughing at this very funny moment I was at. “Only way? What only way are you talking about? What sort of actions have you done to reconcile with me?” I asked him, challenging him.

Desmond opened his mouth so he could enumerate the things he did. I waited until he lowered his eyes.

I smirked. “You have never done anything to reconcile with me, Desmond. You have never exerted any effort to reconcile with me.” I halted in front of him and forced him to meet my eyes. “What you did while I was staying here is to control me. You even took away my rights to make a decision for our son.” I pushed him, and didn’t care if he was still naked. “Is that the kind of reconciliation you are trying to mean? Is that it?” I kept pushing him until he ended up sitting on the couch. “Come on, Desmond. Tell me!”

I stepped backward and held my stomach when I felt pain strike it. Panting, I shook my head in disappointment seeing that Desmond couldn’t answer me properly.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“I could have wished you were not my fated mate.” His eyes widened. There was pain written in his eyes. “If I am going to compare you with Nicklaus, he is way better than you. At least, Nicklaus knows how to respect me unlike you! You are a selfish bastard who thinks that he has done something so noble to me!”

Desmond growled and held me on my shoulders after standing up. “Nicklaus is better than me?!” He sounded offended. I hissed in pain when he gripped more on my shoulders as his amber eyes glowed in anger. “You dare to compare me to that moron?! Just because you reunited with him? You are going to compare me with him?!”

I growled back and held onto his collar. “My relationship with Nicklaus ended up not being complicated like this! We ended in a peaceful way! Unlike you, who is my mate, you have done terrible things to me and I never saw how sorry you are for all the things you had done to our marriage and how you ruined everything! Yes! Nicklaus is way better than you! He will never hurt me this way!”

“Foolish! How dare you compare me to him, Seraphina!”

The next thing he did suddenly made me fall to the floor. I glared at him in disbelief as I felt the stinging pain on my cheek.

Desmond must have realized what he did and gasped upon seeing me. “S-Seraphina… No… I-I am sorry…” He tried to help me but I jerked his hands off me.

“I don’t fucking need your help! Stay away from me, you sick bastard!” I screamed at the top of my lungs while I was holding my stomach when I felt pain more than ever but I chose to ignore how my heart was breaking with Desmond’s action.

My wolf was enraged when he hurt us. He had never done this before… hurting me physically.

I admitted that I slapped him so many times but… His slap made me feel dizzy! I even fell to the floor!

“Seraphina… Please wait! I am sorry!” He tried to halt me but I struggled against his hold before I decided to punch him in his face.

“Stay. Away. From. Me! I don’t need you after all! I am not going to stay here with you! I am tired of being with you!”

“D-Don’t say that… Y-You are hurting me…”

“And do you think you are not hurting me?” I asked him as I clutched my skirt. “Have you ever questioned yourself how many times you have hurt me and you haven’t done any single thing to ‘reconcile’ with me? You cannot even answer me properly!” I raised my voice causing him to flinch. Shaking my head, I smiled bitterly. “You are a hopeless case, Desmond Verlice. I am so tired of being with you.”

I stormed out of his study room and rendered him speechless. As I sauntered my way upstairs, I couldn’t help shedding tears as I slowly realized that Desmond had never really shown any signs that he was feeling guilty.

While I suffered here witnessing how I was feeling helpless, how I was left with no choice, and how he controlled everything. Now he schemed to force me to marry him.

I should’ve controlled my pregnancy hormones! If this trap had been detected by me prior I made my move, I shouldn’t have done this.

I was insane…

Returning to my chamber, I had on my mind that I should stay away from Desmond. Perhaps, using the Verlice vacation house would help me to heal.

I could never heal the way I thought it was. I thought I was alright. That I could last more and would endure everything for my son’s sake.

But the more I stayed here, the more I realized that I would never outgrow to have peace of mind.

“Perhaps, it’s time to choose me, baby…” I sobbed to my unborn pup but I hissed in pain as soon as I leaned toward the bedpost. “What…?” I was panting and didn’t know what was happening.

Why did I feel my stomach hurt all of a sudden? It felt like I had dysmenorrhea or what.

Then I felt something gushing in between my legs. As soon as I felt that, I scurried to lift up my skirt and gasped in horror when I was bleeding profusely.

“No, no, no, my baby…” I was crying more when my stomach was getting more painful than before. “Desmond!” I called his name in a horrifying tone. “Desmond, help!” I slowly sat on the floor as I was panting in pain right now. “Desmond!” I screamed at the top of my lungs.

“Seraphina!” The door swung open and Desmond stormed into my chamber, fully clothed. His jaw dropped as he had a horrifying look upon seeing the blood on the floor. “Seraphina! Shit… I am here…” He immediately scooped me in my arms. “You’re bleeding…”

I was already in tears and felt my eyes getting heavy. “My baby…” I sobbed and looked at him. “Desmond, our baby pup…”

“Yes… Yes, I know.” Desmond bit his lower lip as he couldn’t contain the tears he had right now as he arrived at the infirmary in a short amount of time. “Anderson!”

Anderson came out, wearing a nightshirt. “Yes?” His jaw dropped upon seeing me bleeding in Desmond’s arms. “W-What happened, Alpha?” He instructed Desmond to put me in the open bed. He didn’t waste any time checking my pulse while I was crying and Desmond was beside me.

I was slowly losing my consciousness when I suddenly remembered how I ended up in this condition. Desmond…

“Seraphina was bleeding when I arrived at her chamber. Tell me if our pup will be alright, Anderson.”

I turned at Desmond who looked so worried right now. Using my remaining strength, I punched him. “This is your fault! This is your fucking fault!” I couldn’t contain how angry I was right now. I punched him in the face. “If something happens to our pup, I swear I am not going to forgive you, Desmond! I swear to the Moon Goddess!” Screaming at the top of my lungs, deteriorated my strength as it made me weak.

“She’s bleeding profusely!”

“Seraphina!”

The last thing I saw before I closed my eyes was seeing myself bleeding more. “No…”
