Forged in the Flames by Karima Sa'ad Usman

Chapter 65

Aliana and I stood in the same spot for a while. I held on to her while she cried. I had never seen her so afraid before. She honestly dreaded the situation.

I wouldn’t lie and say I wasn’t shocked by the news. I dreaded it. It had just complicated everything. Something that was supposed to be a thing of joy had created a cause for worry.

I did not know what to do or how to handle it. I wanted to calm Aliana down. I knew she had been shaken since she heard the news, and I figured her weird behaviour when I arrived was because of this. It wasn’t because her father was hypertensive.

Ania’s fear made sense. What broke my heart was the fact that she thought I would be mad at her and the fact that she suggested termination.

I doubt I would ever forgive myself if I had suggested that. Aliana needed to have faith in me and know I would never hurt her. I might have temper issues, but she was safe from

them. I wouldn’t dare harm her; Bane wouldn’t dare it. She had nothing to worry about where I was concerned. I hope she finds out one day.

“So we are going to be parents?” Bane, my wolf, said, sounding excited, and I was utterly silent because Aliana was still crying.

“You need to calm down, Little Wolf. This isn’t bad news. It just came at the wrong time, but we will make it work,” I said, and she pulled away and looked at me with swollen eyes.

“What about the Unity law and your crown?” She asked, and the fact that she was still thinking of my needs and desires t*ouched my heart.

“None of it will matter without you, Aliana. I will find a way to get it all and ensure our children have a life. King Aleksander seems to be on my side. I just have to find a way to get my uncle to agree,” I said and used my thumb to dry her tears.

“You should not feel this way or stress too much so you do not harm our child,” I said, and she laughed a bit.

“What is funny?” I asked, wondering what I said.

“Has nothing to do with what you said. It just has everything to do with the fact that I see your doctor as a quack,” She said, which was funny.
