Pregnant and Rejected by My Alpha Mate

Chapter 151

 

Chapter 151 – Frederic Puts His Plan into Motion

Selene

I’m amazed at the difference one little pill can make.

I feel like a completely different person now that I’ve thrown out Dr. Kane’s (if that’s truly his name) placebos. Dr. Lee’s medicines have reduced my morning sickness so much that the condition actually lives up to its name and only strikes in the morning. I’ve even put on a pound!

It’s only been three days since leaving the hospital, and I couldn’t be happier to be home, even though everything else in my life is a bloody disaster. I keep trying to call Bastien every morning, but he never picks up, the line never even rings. It goes straight to voicemail.

In addition to my mate’s absence and my pup’s continuous questions about where her Daddy is, the pack is all in an uproar. Apparently while I was stuck in the hospital Aiden and Donovan captured Odile, then immediately lost her. The worst part is that I think Frederic leaked the story himself, because almost no one knew she’s been caught. Her escape included a black out and riot at the enforcement headquarters, and as much as I’d like to explain this away the same way I handled Bastien’s absence, the truth is that we did fail.

Whether it’s sabotage or not, we’re failing to protect the pack and keep the peace. Frederic is winning, and I can’t stand it. Still, today I’m going to try and forget all the drama and sadness. Sophie and I are going to take Lila to the zoo for a much needed day out. My poor pup has been such a trooper throughout all these crises and changes, and she desperately deserves a reward.

“Mommy I wanna walk!” She informs me as we walk towards the zoo entrance.

“But I want to carry you!” I reply, snuggling her close and kissing her cheek half a dozen times, “I haven’t had any time with my Lila bean lately. I’ve missed you.”

“But Mommy, i’s the zoo.” She replies, as if I’m completely missing the point. “I wanna run round!”

“Fine.” I sigh dramatically, “You can walk, but don’t run too far ahead, okay?” I instruct.

“Okay.” She agrees.

“Lila, I mean it, stay within sight.” I say, more stern now.

“I pwomise.” She vows, already squirming to escape the comforting safety of my arms. I set her little paws on the ground and she immediately races ahead.
