NovelEnglishChapter 0488 "Look, here's my card..." He places his hand back out towards me, a small business-shaped-card in his hands.
I must seem very bizarre to him, not quite with it. Even now, my hands are running through my long blonde hair...trying to make sense of everything.
To say I was in a state of inner turmoil was an understatement.
"Can you at least textwhen you get home?" He moves to open the passenger front door, seemingly not wantingto enter the car on the driver's side. Where vehicles continue to plummet past at incredible speed. "That's not necessary." "No, but I will continue to worry unless you do. Then I will have to call the alpha office." I go into panic mode. He can't call the alpha office, he'll let my parents know I was at the services and meeting a girl friend, which will only invite more questions. Undo my attempts of today. "No don't do that...I don't want to worry my parents." "It's just a little text, that's all." He shrugs out, his hands resting on the top of the car door, his chin resting upon them.
Why was he so concerned, I had only just met him. But I couldn't run the risk of him calling the Alpha office, of my parent's finding out.
"I'll text you when I'm back." I sigh out, taking a step into the car, moving over to the driver side.
"Thank you. Look after yourself Cleo." He nods, closing the passenger side door, tapping the back of my car with his hands.
He moves back to his car but he doesn't drive off until I am first to go. He seems genuinely concerned about me. I suppose it's not every day a shewolf is vomiting on the side of the road. As soon as I drive through the Red Thorn gates, I can feel a number of people pressing on the mind-link.

"Sophia?" I grant her access first.
"There you are, I've been trying you all day." "What's up?" I was still pissed at her for going straight to Dad about my pregnancy and request for an abortion. But I understand why she had to do it.
"I need you to cin for an overall check and scan. You left my office, I thought you would have cback." "I didn't realise I needed to." I bite back the scoff that wanted to escape me.
"You are pregnant Cleo, yes...I need to give you the once over." "Tomorrow? First thing again?" Ideally before her other appointments.
"See you tomorrow." Sophia confirms before she cuts the link.
I pull the car up outside of the alpha house, glad to be home. All I wanted was to fill my stomach up with something carb based, take a bath and go to bed.
I pick the business card up in my hand, my fingers running across the card edge. He was right, it was just a text and it stopped him from calling the alpha office to check up on me. Something I think he would do.
..Thanks, am hnow.
I write the text out, checking it before finally hitting send. Instantly I can se that he has accepted my contact number and was already typing out a reply.
...Thanks for lettingknow. Stay safe. T As soon as I step out of the car a new sensation of being watched washes over me.
It has to be a symptom of being pregnant My wolf on overdrive knowing she can't shift at the first sign of danger, so she was sending off signals to puton edge.
en If this continues I will spend all of my pregnancy in an anxious state.
"Calm are seein, we are hnow. We is fine. send calming off the doctor tomorrow, my wolf, trying to regain control over my body.
It was evening now, the lights of the alpha house informingthat Mum, Dad and Ares were all inside.
All but me.
I was about to walk into a firing line of questions. Perhaps I can save that for the morning.

I move to the side of the house, my eyes shooting up to my bedroom I window could climb it... if I was super careful. I've done it plenty of times as a girl, I've just never needed to do it for a few years that's all.
No, I know I can't risk it, I'll have to walk through the back door and pray I go undetected.
That feeling of being watched returns toagain....my body spinning as I hear a noise in the distance.
My eyes scan the darkness before me, it was dusk but without my enhanced vision, it might as well be midnight.
I can't feel of any threat through the pack-link, it must have just been an animal climbing a tree.
I turn, contemplating my discreet return back into my family homen when a band grabs my arm from behind and spinsaround. I am dizzy from the movement that I don't even realise who it is at first.
A figure dressed in black...everything covered, even the face.
I gasp, hands moving to my mouth to preventfrom screaming as m reach to the face to remove the black balaclava; covering all but the eyes and lips.
"Cleo, it's me." "Jace?"
