Chapter 84: Secrets Unveiled

(Marcus Blackwood’s POV)

My Personal Driver returned to the Shadow Moon Alpha’s Phantom Rolls–Royce after inquiring at the Moonstone Apothecary East Wing. He leaned in through the window, his voice low and careful.

“Alpha, she purchased a Luna’s Truth Pregnancy Test Kit.”

The words hit me like a physical blow. I remained silent for a long time, my mind racing through possibilities.

Was Elena pregnant? The thought sent conflicting emotions through me – hope, fear, confusion.

If she was carrying my child, why hadn’t she told me? The secrecy felt like another betrayal in our already

fractured bond.

(Elena Blackwood’s POV)

Back in my healing chamber, I locked the door and pulled out the Luna’s Truth Pregnancy Test

When the result appeared, I exhaled in relief. Negative

Thank the moon goddess. A pregnancy would have complicated everything beyond repair, especially with the mate bond severing looming over us.

I disposed of the test carefully, ensuring no evidence remained.

Later, I went to the apothecary to get some mild moonlight herbs to regulate my stomach. The nausea from

earlier still lingered, probably from stress.

Passing by the Medical Break Room, I overheard two pack nurses talking

“Have you seen Rachel Thompson lately?” one asked.

“She resigned right after that surgery incident,” the other replied, “Just disappeared one day.”

My steps faltered. Rachel had resigned? She’d been one of the few nurses who’d shown me genuine respect.

I realized I hadn’t seen her since the day she warned me about Sophia’s actions during the anesthesia tampering incident.

Back in my healing chamber, I called Rachel’s number. No answer.

I accessed the employee records and found her residential address. She deserved to know about the job opportunity at Riverstone Medical Center.

In the afternoon, I drove to her neighborhood. The buildings were closely packed together near Moonlit Passage, and the road was too narrow for cars.

I parked and walked through the cramped alleyway. Rachel emerged from Moonlight Provisions carrying groceries, her eyes widening in ‘surprise.

“Elena? What are you doing here?”

I wanted to see how you were doing.” I said gently. “I heard about your resignation.

Rachel’s face paled. After a moment of hesitation, she gestured toward her building.

“Would you like to come up?”

At Rachel’s Safe Haven, she poured me a glass of warm water with shaking hands. The small apartment was neat but sparse.

“I’m home alone,” she explained unnecessarily.

“Rachel, I heard you resigned from the institute,” I said carefully. “Was it because of Sophia?”

She avoided my gaze, shaking her head quickly. “No, it was my own decision. I just didn’t want to continue working there.”

Her denial felt hollow, I could see the fear in her eyes.
