SIDONNIE’S POV
“Hey, watch your steps. The woman hurried to my side, holdingup as | nearly fell from the bed which I laid.
“Take it easy, you're in safe hands.” She assured me, but | found it hard to let my guard loose for sreasons.
“What am | doing here? | mean, how did | get here in the first place?” | questioned aggressively.
“Take it easy, young lady. I'm so sure you don’t want to affect the baby.”
Oh! That's true! I'm pregnant. My hand slowly reached out to my belly, cupping it delicately. How could | forget
that | had another life inside of me? So far so good, | thought | have been able to cto terms with my
pregnancy, but....
“That doesn’t mean you're a bad mother to your baby. It's normal for all first timers.” The woman who sat close
toon a nearby chair flashed an assuring smile at me. But her smile only madebecwary of her the
more. Who is she? | wasn’t speaking my thoughts out loud, but she responded to them like she was hearing be
loud and clear.
“Who are you exactly? How were you able to read my thoughts? Are you sure I'm safe like you said?” | tried
using my wolf senses to figure out who she was but she basically had no smell. | couldn't tell if she was human, a
werewolf, a werecoyote, a witch, or sother type of supernatural being.
“Of course, you are in safe hands. | don’t bite.”
“That's not the answer I'm expecting, ma'am!” | yelled at her. “Who are you exactly? Let's start from there.” |
was being defensive all over again.
“Okay, fine. I'm Athena.” She answered simply, not bothering to utter any more word about her identity.
“You surely know what | mean, right? Since you can read my thoughts, you should know what | want to know. You
should know what | meant by ‘who are you?“. | can’t figure it out.”

“I know you can’t, which is why you're here.”
“What do you mean?” My brows furrowed in confusion.

sculpting every structure and. emotion on her face to memory.
After taking a satisfactory look at her, | heaved a sigh, hoping I'm not trusting the wrong person. It’s not like I
have another place to go after all.
“So, with that said, where were you

going to?” The woman's question joltedout of
“I...I..." | couldn't find words to say. How was | going to tell her | ran away from home?
“I think honesty is a key to getting things done.”
“I left.” | was nervous, spitting out answers from my mouth.
“I know that, already. But why?”
“It’s a long story.”
“I'm willing to listen. Only then can | know how to help you.”
“I had to leave from an arranged marriage which my parents wanted forso badly.”
For a while, Athena was silent.
“Okay, so you're trying to stay with the baby’s father or what?”
“It's complicated, Athena.”
“The person I'm to marry is the owner of the baby. He's an Alpha, the Alpha of our pack.”
“Wait, if | get you right, your baby daddy is your betrothed and he’s the Alpha of your pack?”
“Yes, he is the sperson involved in all situations of my life.”
“If | were you, that’s the perfect option and opportunity for a young lady like you. Why did you run away?”
“I never intended to leave, but he hatesso much. | can’t tell why that is exactly, but he does, even after
knowing we're mates.”
“You're mates?” Athena was surprise my revelation, and | nodded in affirmation to
her answer. “Then, what happened?”

| went ahead to narrate all that transpired between | and the Alpha from being my one night-stand stranger to
being my betrothed and then, my baby daddy.
“That's incredible! So, he doesn’t know about the baby?” Athena paid full attention te my narration, and | so
much appreciated her for it. It was like | had someone | could lean on. Someone who understood my present
predicament. And from how easy | becwith her, it felt like | made the right choice of speaking out to her as
that was pretty much what | needed then.
“No, he doesn’t. | made sure he didn’t catch whiff of it before | left. Had | stayed a while more, | might have been
exposed by then. It’s possible for him to perceive his pup insidesince he’s an Alpha.” | explained.
“But why didn’t you want him to know? After all, it's his pup too.”
“Yes, it is his pup but what if he only wants his pup thereafter? He might havewith him just for the pup and
the moment I'm due. | get nothing. Then, I'll be back to his hate and dislike. Having his pup does not necessarily
mean he’s going to acceptas his mate or like me.”
“But have you thought of what he’s going to do if he finds out about his baby?”
“I don’t plan on letting him know. Not now, not ever.”
“From experience, the baby is going to ask for his father. What will you do by then?”
“I don’t know, Athena. But | really want to pull through this in the best way and succeed without relationship

“I don’t know, Athena. Though, finding a source of incis the first thing for me. | need to fend for myself and
my unborn child. But I'm scared!”
