Chapter 5

With a concerned expression, Martha produced a test strip, and I excused myself to the bathroom to use it. As I waited for the result, my heart was pounding in my chest. When I saw the test, I let out a small gasp, unable to believe my eyes.

I was pregnant!

Martha’s expression turned grave as she looked at me. “This is bad. You’re not the Luna anymore, and they might not let you keep this child. Even worse, they could take it from you. Don’t tell the Alpha about your pregnancy. Stick to your plan of leaving the country and start a new life, far away, with your child,” she said softly, her eyes filled with warmth and love.

I was taken aback by her words. Martha had always been loyal and caring, but this was a level of kindness and understanding I hadn’t expected. She continued, “My lady, you’ve shown me such kindness and compassion. You don’t deserve this sad fate. It’s not your fault that your love couldn’t be reciprocated. Find happiness for yourself and your child. Don’t let thein take that away from you.”

She swiftly grabbed the test strips and concealed them in my luggage, sealing it shut.

Soon we were done packing, the doors swung open, revealing Ethan’s handsome face with his hair swept to the side. I remembered running my hands through it the last time we made love, but now he stood distant, flanked by his Beta and best friend Chris.

“Well, I’m all set now,” I said in a faint whisper, heading for the stairs. My voice quivered slightly as I couldn’t wait to leave, knowing that my child was at risk.
