Chapter 65
Daisy
My period iste again, and even though I was against it, L has bought me a pregnancy test.
“You need to try it,” she tells me.
I pout at her. “I’m not pregnant!”
“Dude, you specifically requested to have these weird cookies this morning, and you’ve been eating
weird stuff like pickles with peanut butter for breakfast. I swear to god; those are normal werewolf
cravings when our kind is pregnant!”
“How would you know?”
“I googled it,” she grins. “Anyway, just try it.”
I squint at her. “But I haven’t had sex in forever!”
“Well, it wasn’t that long ago since you had sex with Xavier almost every night.”
Being reminded of that hurts. It feels like a lifetime has passed since I shared a hotel room with Xavier.
I miss it.
We would watch soap operas all night, and he would alwaysin about the characters being
stupid while secretly being more hooked than me. I also remember how he would rub my feet while we
lounged on the bed, his fingers expertly kneading away the tension. He had a way of making me feel
cherished and cared for, even while he grumbled about the mindless dramas on TV.
“But it’s been months since Xavier and I…you know,” I protest weakly, not wanting to spell it out. “And if
I’m pregnant with his baby, it wouldn’t end well. He is evil and I’m an Alpha-this is no time to be raising
a pup.”
“Look at it this way,” L hands me the pregnancy test. “If you take the test and it’s negative, you can
stop worrying about it. If it’s positive….well, we’ll cross that bridge when wee to it.”
“Fine!”
I take the da*n test and storm into the bathroom, locking the door behind me. The stic of the test is
cold and clinical in my hand, stoking the fire of fear that’s begun to smolder in my belly. I shrug off my
jeans and tug down my underwear while trying to hold the stick just right to pee on it.
Then I wait.
It’s the longest minutes of my life, staring at the white test in my shaking hands. My heart is a drum,

nerves.
L’s voice,ing from behind the bathroom door, breaks the intensity of the silence. “Are you done
yet?”
“Give me a minute!” I snap back before my eyes widen at the result in front of my nose.
The test is positive.
I gasp, dropping the stic stick onto the bathroom floor. The world seems to tilt beneath my feet, and
for a moment, I clutch at the sink to keep from falling over. All sorts of thoughts are running through my
mind: Xavier, the baby, being an

Alpha, motherhood… It’s all too much.
“L?” I choke.
“Yes, Daisy?”
“I think I’m going to be sick.”
L’s muffled voice pierces through the bathroom door. “Just breathe, Daisy. You’re going to be okay.”
But I’m not okay.

Without warning. I lurch towards the toilet, my stomach purging its contents violently. My eyes sting
with tears as the horrific reality of the situation continues to sink in: I’m pregnant with Xavier’s child, and
he doesn’t even remember who the hell I am!
A swift knock on the door brings me back to reality. “Daisy” L calls out, “Can you open the door?”
I swallow hard, pushing myself off the cold bathroom floor. My legs feel like jelly, but I manage to cross
the small distance to the door. I utch the lock and open it, revealing a worried L on the other side.
She takes in my disheveled appearance, her chocte-colored eyes scanning me from head to toe
until she sees the tears in my eyes and sighs.
“Oh, Daisy…” She whispers, her voiceced with sympathy.
No… just don’t say anything.” I interrupt her, raising a shaky hard to silence her. The room is spinning
around me, making it hard for me to bnce.
L steps forward, her arm sliding around my waist. “I’ve got you,” she says, leading me out of the
bathroom and back to my bed. “It was positive, wasn’t it?”
I nod, not trusting myself to speak. My heart feels as if it’s going to break out of my chest as L gently
settles me on my bed.
She turns to leave, but I grip her hand suddenly, panic overwhelming me. “Stay.. please,” I whisper, my
voice shaky. “I don want to be alone.”
“But I have to tell Caleb,” she says softly. “You’re supposed to do roundster, but since you’re
pregnant, you’re not leaving the mansion.”
“But I’m the Alpha-”
“App, app, app!” She holds up a finger. “You have no saying in this matter, Daisy. I’m going to be a
godmother soon, and Caleb is going to be a godfather. And guess what? We want the kid to live. So
I’m going to go out there and order my vampire of a hubby, who doesn’t need any kind of sleep, that he
is the only person on duty at night now. Okay?”
Her stern tone makes meugh. “Are you always this bossy with Caleb, too?”
“Trust me, I’m way more bossy with him,” L retorts with a smirk.
Iugh at her. “I swear you both are freaks.”
She winks. “It’s hard not to be a freak when your mate can change his appearance. Yesterday, I asked
Calev to be a meek and shy librarian

She cackles evilly and leaves the room. I chuckle at her words, but soon, it dies down as I’m left alone
with my thoughts.
“Am really pregnant?” I whisper as I look up at the poster on my wall. It’s a male model in a sleeveless
shirt with wild, wavy hair and piercing green eyes, It’s not the exact image of Xavier, but it holds a
resemnce.
I usually stare at it before I go to bed, but tonight is different. Tonight, the model’s piercing green eyes
seem cold and distant. Instead of soothing me with their resemnce, they are a sharp reminder of the
reality that has just unfurled
I’m pregnant, and Xavier isn’t here.
Shit.
If this hybrid child survives-because I’m assuming it isn’t a normal werewolf-will I have to raise it on my
own?
The thought of being a single mom weighs heavy on my mind as I curl into a ball on the bed. It’s a
question I can’t answer. What would happen if I just blurted out the truth to Xavier? Would he believe
me? Probably not. He didn’t believe me when I told him we used to be mates either…..
