Chapter 118: A Choice to Make

Moana

The morning after I finally revealed the truth about my lineage to Edrick, I thought that everything would finally be okay. I thought that maybe, we could finally be together without any issues now that he knew that I was a werewolf; or, at the very least, I thought that his family would hate me a little less.

But as it turned out, things rarely ever happened so easily.

I had spent the past two nights sleeping in Edrick’s room again. It seemed that our sleeping arrangement went back to the way it was before — only now, there were fewer barriers between us. When I woke up, the curtains were open to allow sunshine to come in. Edrick was already gone for work, so I laid in bed for a few minutes and looked at my phone while I woke up.

“WERECORP CEO SEEN WITH MYSTERY WOMAN ONCE MORE,” the headline read. Below it was an entire article of speculation on who I was and why I was going to the hospital with Edrick. Finally, at the end, the article seemed to hit the nail on the head: that I was the mother of an illegitimate child, and that Edrick was the father.

I thought back to the night of the banquet, when we kissed in the fountain after playfully splashing each other. I thought about the childlike smile on his face as we splashed each other, and the way that his hands traveled along my body when I kissed him. I thought about how jealous he got when he found out that Ethan kissed me, and I thought about the scared look on his face when he scooped me up out of the alleyway.
