Eve’s words slam into me like a falling anvil. All my fury from a moment ago is instantly smushed beneath the weight of her announcement, and my threats

become lodged in my throat. My mind whirls as I try to make sense of this new development, but try as I might, I can’t find any logic in it whatsoever.

“That’s impossible.” Ethan growls, his body absolutely rigid. “We’ve never even been together.”

Eve reels back as if she’s been slapped, “I

“She’s probably lying.” I suggest, a new

realization clicking in my overwrought brain. “pregnant women can’t be imprisoned in this territory, and she knows it.”

strong.

if she really is carrying a pup and it really is Ethan’s, that would mean they conceived after I arrived here. Wrapping my arms protectively around my body, I try not to spiral. I don’t know anything for sure yet, and the woman is a known pathological liar. Believing her is playing right into her hands. Still, I can’t seem to silence the little voice in
