Pregnant and Rejected by My Alpha Mate

Chapter 195

Chepler 195. Battle

Looking around in a panic, I demand, “where? Where has he gone?”

“His orders were for me to get you out, Selene.” Helene in forms me, not sounding as if she’s particularly interested in actually following them. “Then again, you are a headstrong young woman, and I’m just an old woman. It would be only too easy for you to overpower me and go after them.”

“Them?” I repeat, “he’s not alone?”

“No.” A deep voice sounds behind me, the man who had been standing with Helene before going to dispatch the guards. “His with the rebel leaders, Matthew and Grayson.”

Turning around, I study the strange man closely. I’m sure I’ ve never seen him before, but he seems oddly familiar. He’s got to be close to sixty years old, with gray streaked hair and the gaunt form of a man who’s known true deprivation. My wolf is already wondering if he might be my father, but the look on his face confirms it.

He pulls me into his arms without a second thought, and I can feel his bones protruding terribly. “You’ve been Blaise’s prisoner all this time?” I ask through my tears. He nods, hold ing me so gingerly I wonder if he thinks I’ll break. Squeezing him more tightly, I encourage him not to be shy, unable to truly processing that I’m hugging my father for the first time in my life. “I’m so sorry.” I sniffle, “Mom didn’t know, I’m sure of it.”

“I know little one.” He tells me. “The truth is I’d do it all over again for you two, though it did break my heart to hear what happened to you after she passed.”

“Nevermind that. When this is all over you can come home with us to Elysium. You can meet your granddaughter, and see the life Mom built for us.”
