Forged in the Flames by Karima Sa'ad Usman

Chapter 66

Morning came, and I could see Aliana had a good night’s sleep. Contrary to what I thought, she was fast asleep after our first round. I guessed it was the pregnancy making her so tired. I

watched her sleep peacefully and was thankful for her strength. I gently snuck out of bed to freshen up and plan my day.

As things were, every second counted.

I needed to get the crown before Aliana began to show, so I needed to get on it quickly. Being on a clock made me more focused because now the time of achievement was no longer indefinite, and there was no room for unfounded situations. I planned to discuss Doctor Newton with Qusack and tell him about Aliana1 s pregnancy before we headed to Gabriel’s house.

Aliana had finally given up the name of the nurse that attended to her at the clinic. I needed to control the situation.

I showered in a hurry; Ania and Lisa were plating our food by the time I left the bathroom.

I noticed their demeanour change, and it made me chuckle a bit. The three of them were unlikely friends, and their loyalty towards each other was extreme.

Ania and Lisa had stuck out their necks for Aliana countless times. Especially when I was acting like a fool and battling with the mate pull. They continued doing so up till now.

Seeing Ania, I remembered the brand on her neck, and I planned to also deal with that matter and abolish it today. People should not be rejected and branded simply because they aren’t full breeds. It was wrong what Grant did to her. I planned to fix it.

“Good morning, Alpha?” The women said, and I placed my index f*inger on my lips to indicate they should be quiet.

“Link me instead,” I linked both of them, and they nodded.

“I am heading for a meeting now; remain with her and ensure she has everything she needs. Also, no one should get close enough to know she is pregnant, not even my mother,” I linked both of them, and Ania looked at me with surprise.

She did not think Aliana would have it in her to tell me.

I wondered what they were planning to do if she did not tell me. I did not have to think too long. I figured terminating the pregnancy seemed like the only option to them.

I gazed at Aliana where she lay and remembered the fear in her eyes. I really needed to watch my emotions around her. She was easily affected by it. I guess I sometimes forget she is a Werewolf. I wondered how she and Raven cope when I am annoyed.

I headed to the closet and dressed up.

Ania and Lisa remained in the room. They looked more relaxed, and I could see that Ania was a little bit happy. She must have been worried for Aliana and the baby.

Well, now she knows she has nothing to worry about. Her friend was safe.

I left the room and headed to my office. I planned to walk with Qusack while discussing the matter, then head to the Wolf clinic with him before seeing Doctor Newton. I had it all planned out. I hoped to finish before noon so I could see Gabriel. Hopefully, he would be forthcoming and have credible things to tell me.
