Chapter 795

Third Person POV

23 years earlier

Michele, also known as Shelly Montague, wanted only one thing in life… to be a mother. She and her husband of five years, Richard, had been trying for the last several years to get pregnant, but they had failed. When Shelly found Richard as her mate, she thought to herself that this was it… this was her happily ever after. She would finally get everything she wanted for herself in

her life.

Moving to the Redmoon pack had been a tough transition for Shelly; her mate was the Delta and had grown up there So, not moving to that pack wasn’t an option, despite how much Shelly missed her own pack a few hours away, still in the Landry

territory.

It wasn’t that Shelly didn’t like the Redmoon pack; it was just that she was having trouble making friends. They were very cliquish; there was a group of rich and snobby people that she tried to get along with, but it seemed no matter what she did, she could never impress them.

Especially, the queen bee, Miranda Cash. She was a snobby bitch that Shelly shouldn’t even want to be friends with… but she was the Beta’s mate, and getting along with the female Beta could set Shelly up for a long time in the popularity department.

The main issue was that most of these snobby ladies were either mothers or expecting to be mothers. Shelly told them she was trying for a baby, which gave her an “in.” Now, they invite her to brunch and get her parenting advice for when she gets pregnant.

She didn’t tell them how long she’d been trying because that would have been embarrassing and would have ruined her potential future popularity.

She was a 25–year–old woman who shouldn’t have cared much about being popular, but she did. She cared a lot.

And now, in minutes, it seemed her world was falling apart.

“What do you mean I can’t get pregnant?” Shelly asked, choking back a sob. The word “Infertile” hung in the air between her and Richard as they stared back at the doctor. They had been seated in the hospital for over an hour, waiting for their appointment, and now that they were there, Shelly wanted to take it back.

Maybe it was better if she didn’t know.

“I’m so sorry, Mr. and Mrs. Montague. But you have options. You could do a surrogate… or even adoption is an option. Many children are out there in need of a good home. I can give you a referral,” Dr. Edwards said, a small smile on his lips. “Don’t lose hope of becoming parents.”

Shelly wanted to just sob; despite the reassuring words of both her husband and the doctor, she felt sick to her stomach. Richard took her hand and pulled her into his arms, wrapping her in a warm hug as she cried.

She could barely form words to even say goodbye to the doctor. He handed Richard the brochure for their other options because Shelly was too numb to take it herself. Richard guided her out of the doctor’s office and down the long hallway of the hospital. Shelly barely even registered stepping into the waiting room.
