Chapter 9 

Alisha left right after the ultrasound. She went to get me some clothes and returned twenty minutes later. “Are you sure you want to do this?” she asked as she helped me pull on the jeans and hoodie. Every movement made my body ache. I nod my head. I wasn‘t staying in this city, and I was not being forced under Alpha Axton’s protection when he was the reason for this entire mess in the first place. 

“Jake?” I ask her. 

“In the parking lot waiting for us,” Alisha says, glancing out the door to see if the guard Axton had placed at the end of the hall was still keeping watch. She sighs. “Surely he has to go on a lunch break or something?” she says, and I shrug. I would jump from the window if it meant escaping his clutches though my wolf disagreed with that idea. My pregnancy makes it difficult for me to heal quickly. 

Pregnant, that word had been reeling in my head all damn day since I learned. I needed to get out of here before Axton found out. No way was I giving him that as an excuse to hang over my head. Wincing as I pull my hair into a messy bun on my head, Alisha comes over to me and helps; just lifting my arms makes my ribs and back ache furiously. 

 

“What are we going to do about the guard? He will spot you if we run for the stairwell?” she asks, and I blink at her. She blinks back at me before I smile at her and bat my lashes. 

“I noticed that the guard is unmarked?” I tell her, and her mouth 

opens to gape at me. 

“No! Have you seen how old he is?” 

“Well, it will be easy for you then; flash ya those double D‘s at him, and you might give the old fart a heart attack,” I tell her, and she folds her arms across her chest and pouts.
