Chapter 88: Hidden Truths

(Elena’s POV)

I returned to the Blackthorne Family Compound to visit my mother. One of the Estate Caregivers opened the

door before I could knock.

“Who’s here?” Patricia’s voice came from inside the house.

Patricia walked to the Blackthorne Family Hall and froze when she saw me. “Elena?”

I helped her to the sofa, studying her face carefully. “Have you been taken care of these days?”

Patricia reassured me with a gentle smile. “Marcus’s arrangements are indeed proper, but I won’t be grateful

to him.”

She pulled my hand closer, her voice dropping to a worried whisper. “Are we really leaving the Northern

Territory? Can David leave?”

Marcus acknowledged with a simple sound. “What did Grandmother say today when you went to the

Ancestral Manor?”

What could I say? I was silent for a few seconds before slowly opening my mind to him.

“I think there’s something you’ve misunderstood.”

When he didn’t respond, I took a deep breath and continued, “I did buy a pregnancy test that day, but I tested it, and Im not pregnant.

The Alpha was silent through our bond. If I hadn’t felt his presence in my mind, I would have thought he had severed the connection.

“Not pregnant?” he asked again, as if to confirm.
