Nanny and the Alpha Daddy

#Chapter 120: An Unexpected Turn of Events

Moana

I woke up the next morning after a night full of too many dreams about Edrick. If I wasn’t sure of it before, I was sure of it now after our conversation the night earlier; Edrick would never accept me as his wife. Even if he decided to have a fake relationship with someone, he would never choose me because of the glaring differences in our social status.

Even though my heart was broken, I knew that it would be for the best if I just left at that point. I couldn’t raise a baby in a home where its own father didn’t think that I was worth even having a fake public relationship with, and I certainly wouldn’t raise my baby in a home where Edrick was also living with a different woman. As I woke up that morning, I knew that it would soon come time for me to leave. I was just glad that I had been carefully saving my money for that inevitability; but I only wished that it had happened before my harrowing experience with Edrick. The way he saved me from those Rogues only made me more attached to him, and now it would be even harder for me to cut myself loose.

When I woke up, Edrick was already gone for work. In a strange way, I had hoped to wake up in his arms one last time — but I knew that it would only make things even worse, so maybe it would be better this way. At the very least, when he came home later and I informed him of my plans to leave, I wouldn’t do so with the feeling of his arms around me still fresh on my skin.

I took my time showering and getting dressed, as it was still early. Lately, the pregnancy had made me a little slower, too. My belly was beginning to protrude even more with the rapidly-growing little werewolf inside of me, which made me wonder just how long it would be before I would be the side of a small planet; maybe, I thought to myself as I got dressed, it was time for me to start doing research on werewolf pregnancies. If I was going to be going through the remainder of this pregnancy on my own without Selina or Edrick by my side to guide me, I would need to have at least some basic knowledge on how the process would work.

When I eventually emerged from my bedroom with all of these things still on my mind, however, it seemed that the universe simply felt the need to get in the way of my own train of thought.
