Pregnant and Rejected by My Alpha Mate

Chapter 165

Chapter 165- Frederic Slips Up

Frederic

Selene is smarter than I gave her credit for – and more stubborn. Her impromptu

interview with the press outside the hospital was masterful – if it hadn’t caused such problems for me I’d even be impressed. However ever since she told the pack to start looking into my background, I’ve been doing nothing but putting out fires.

Every five minutes a different reporter is calling for my comment, while a bevy of others dig into my past. Of course, Thomas Kane only has records dating back to college – when my mother invented him. Before then everything I did was tainted by my father’s so-called “ crimes”. The media has already figure out my current identity is a fraud, how much longer can I last before they learn the truth? Even the medical board has been calling me, threatening to revoke my license.

Part of me regrets throwing my mother into the basement, I’d really love to have someone to talk to right now, but I have a feeling Mom isn’t going to be too forthcoming with advice after spending two weeks in a cold dark pit. Oh well, you live and you learn.

It might be easier to stomach if I were any closer to winning over Selene. But she seems as distant as ever- if not more so. We haven’t spoken in quite some time now, and I have a bad feeling she’s onto me – why else would she have directed everyone to investigate

me?

Every day that passes seems to make my situation seem more and more bleak, and I’m trying to keep my head up, but it isn’t easy. The worst comes when I learn that Selene is planning to leave the territory to chase Bastien. I didn’t realize at first, it wasn’t until my spies around the pack house began to notice a lot of movement: Selene and her witchy mentor planning and packing their bags, and Drake and his little mate talking to Lila about

their plans for Asphodel.

It doesn’t take a genius to figure out what’s going on, but no matter the harm she’s done to my reputation or the problems it might cause, I know I have to stop her.
