Chapter 2 I am pregnant

Jane

Looking at my husband now, whose eyes glow and claws extend as he fights to keep his own wolf in check… I think he just might.

Ethan is gulping in livid breaths of air, his chest rapidly rising and falling as he glares at me with abject fury. His rage is so palpable that undiluted fear rushes through my veins and I find myself paralyzed, frozen in place like a startled rabbit. If | move will he attack? My inner wolf is cowering with her tail

tucked between her legs, our every submissive instinct triggered by my husband’s threatening demeanor.

However, instead of lunging towards me or shifting, Ethan simply slams the document onto the dresser and slashes a pen across it, savagely signing the papers without another word. He throws them towards me, then turns on his heel without another word, storming from the room.

than it has in years. Even as it slams against my ribs so forcefully I fear they might break, I can’t help but feel a profound sense of elation.

Am I really free? Is it really over?

Bending to retrieve the papers at my feet, I run my fingers over Ethan’s hastily scrawled signature with a featherlight

touch. In less than five minutes, I’ve gone from being an omega slave to a liberated woman. My life is finally my own again, and I have my entire future ahead of me.
