“I love you too, now go,” I shifted back into Chase, grabbed my clothes, and dashed for the castle. Thankfully, our hidden cave is only a ten-minute run in wolf form. I got to the back door and shifted back. I pulled on my pants and made a run for it to my room. I quickly unlocked it, went to my safe, and grabbed one of my potions. I decided to down two of them. I was about to go back to the hospital when I saw the DNA kit on my desk.
I tore it open and got my saliva and cheek cells on the swab and sealed it. I prepared the postage and placed that along with the bag that would hold the umbilical cord of the pup and put it into my back pocket. I was not going to lose this opportunity to get the truth. If that pup isn’t mine, then I’m going to expose her and have her and her pup banished.
I locked my safe, double-checking to be sure, and then did the same with my room. I didn’t trust anyone, especially Terrine. I made my way back to the hospital and went into the room.
“Keaton! Where the hell has you been!?” Terrine shouted at me and reached for my hand. I stepped aside and just sat on the couch. I didn’t want to see the birth, I was just in there for one sole purpose, and that was to get the umbilical cord. “I’ve been busy,” I tell her.
“Keaton, please, I need you to comfort me!”
“You’ve been in here for eight hours by yourself, I think you can handle another few minutes without my comfort,” I saw her eyes swell up with tears, but I didn’t feel bad.
“Terrine, you need to push!” Dr. Andrew shouted. So she did, she screamed her head off and pushed. I wished to the moon goddess I had earplugs, because I couldn’t stand the screeching coming out of her. Thankfully, that didn’t last too long, when the cries of a newborn filled the hospital room. “Young Beta, would you like to do the honors?” Dr. Andrews asked me and was holding a pair of scissors. I got up, put on a glove, and snipped the cord.
I disposed of the glove and watched to see where the good doctor would dispose of the cord. He put it into a tray next to him. The doctor was too busy cleaning Terrine up, and she was too busy ogling over her pup. While no one was looking, I fished the cord out of the tray with one of the gauze pads and rolled it up. I went into the bathroom and quickly placed it into the baggy in my pocket, and sealed the test closed. I put it back in my pocket, flushed the toilet to make it seem like I took a piss, and washed my hands. When I came back out, I was shocked and yet relieved when I saw the pup. I knew this was going to be a small dunk in my favor. I didn’t need the paternity test.
“Well, it looks you have some explaining to do Terrine,” I say with complete disgust in my voice. I could see the terror in her eyes when she knew what I meant. “Keaton…”
“Why does your pup have blonde hair?” .
***Terrine’s P.O.V.***
I was in labor, and everyone was pissing me off. Keaton refused to be in the room with me, and that just angered me even more. All these sluts and bitches trying to act like they’re trying to help when I know for a fact that they just want to get a glimpse of Keaton. I didn’t want any females in my room, and I sure as hell didn’t want that old fart Dr. Andrews going anywhere near my hoo-ha until it was actually time to give birth.
I tried to mind link Keaton, but as always, he had a block up. He never took it down. I would never be able to mind link him though our pack bond. I needed him here. I needed him to feel my pain, and bond with me while I gave birth, but he refused too. I was five hours into my labor when Dylan came into my room. I know he was suspicious of me, but he was also the only one who was pushing Keaton to make me his mate.
“Dylan,” I cried.
“Terrine how are you feeling?” he asked with actual sincerity.
“I hate this, why does Keaton hate me?”
“I don’t know sweet girl, but I’m going to make sure he takes care of you okay. I don’t care what anyone says, you and Keaton will raise this pup together,”
“I need him in here, where is he?”
“I’m sorry sweet girl, but he’s left the hospital. He and I had an altercation, and he stormed out. Kendrick will link him when it’s time to push. He promised he’d be here for the birth, so don’t you worry,” I just started to cry. I was so f*****g pissed off. I’m in here alone, giving birth to a pup, and the person I need to be the father is refusing to acknowledge me. I’m just praying that that he doesn’t doubt that he’s the father. That would be the worse thing to ever happen.
Three hours later, Dr. Andrews came back into to check on me, and I was so out of it from the drugs, and the contractions, I didn’t care he was looking at my vajayjay.
“Terrine, it’s time. When you feel your next contraction, I need you to push. Nurse, please go inform the Beta,”
“Yes, doctor,” After about ten minutes of pushing, Keaton finally came in.
“Keaton! Where the hell have you been!” I shouted at him in complete irritation. I tried to reach for him, but he stepped aside and went to go sit on the couch.
“I’ve been busy,” he says with no emotion in his voice. Busy? He’s been busy? I’ve been in labor for eight hours and he’s been busy!?
“Keaton, please, I need you to comfort me!” I begged.
“You’ve been in here for eight hours by yourself, I think you can handle another few minutes without my comfort,” his words were so cold and vile. I couldn’t help the tears that swelled up in my eyes.
“Terrine, you need to push!” Dr. Andrews shouted at me. I felt my next contraction, and I pushed as hard as I could. Even though I couldn’t feel much, I did feel something fall out of me, and then I felt nothing but relief. “Beta, would you like to do the honors?” Dr. Andrews asked Keaton. I didn’t even know what he was asking until I heard the snip of a pair of scissors. Keaton cut the cord. At least he did that much.
The nurse handed me my pup, and I was so in love. He was beautiful, but there was one huge problem I realized immediately. My baby had blonde hair. This was going bad in more ways than one. I’m a natural brunette, and Keaton has hair black as night. He was going to know immediately that this pup wasn’t his.
I hadn’t even noticed Keaton went to the bathroom until he came back out and looked straight at me and the baby.
“Well, it looks you have some explaining to do Terrine,” he says to me with disgust in his voice. He’s glaring at me hard and I know he noticed the baby’s hair color. “Keaton…”
“Why does your pup have blonde hair?” “I…Uh…I….”
“Young Beta, sometimes it’s normal for a pup to come out with hair lighter than what it turns out to be. Give it a few months, it should darken,” Dr. Andrews said. I let out a deep sigh of relief internally. He unknowingly just saved me from suspicion or did he. I looked at Keaton who was still glaring at me.
“Keaton, do you want to hold him?” I asked softly. I need him to bond with the pup. He looked at my baby, and then back at me, and turned his heel and walked away without saying anything. I couldn’t help but start crying. I held my baby close and just cried. I needed Keaton to bond with my baby so he could have feelings for him. My pup deserved a father to love him.
Why was my plan to get Keaton to take me as his mate and my pup as his own completely going to s**t. Just a couple of months ago, Keaton was at least excited to be a father even if he hated me. But about two weeks after the Luna ceremony, he became more and more distant. He stopped touching my belly and he stopped talking to the baby. I thought he was just angry with me, but I’m starting to realize he didn’t just hate me, he was starting to hate my baby. Something changed, something made him change his mind, and I needed to figure out what it was.
I looked down at my baby and held him close. I don’t care what anyone said or did. My baby was going to be seen as a Beta and not some low-level Omega like his biological father. My true mate. The one that I rejected. I was weak when we met, and I gave into the bond. One night was all it took, and I realized that I only wanted Keaton and not my mate. So, I rejected him, but it was too little too late. I found out two weeks later that I was pregnant, and I needed to quickly sleep with Keaton.
I seduced him and lied about being on the pill so he would c*m inside of me, and luckily, he fell for it. Two weeks later, I announced my pregnancy and things started to fall into place, except Keaton loving me in return. He had told me to abort the baby, but it was Dylan who took my side. Ever since I’ve been trying to keep Keaton away from women because I couldn’t have him find his mate. Even if his father told him to reject her, I knew Keaton never would. Thankfully though, he has yet to find her.
I need him to bond with my son. I’m hoping that if he does, it will be strong enough to force him to reject his mate if she ever does decide to show herself. And if that day does come, I’m going to be sure to make her life a living hell so she will want to stay away from him as well.
I looked down at my pup, my beautiful son, and decided to name him Killian.
“Killian, don’t you worry, mommy will get your daddy back, and we will be one big happy family, just you wait and see,”
***Lorenzo’s P.O.V.***
I was making my way to my meeting and couldn’t help but get a little excited. I waited in the forest right outside of the pack territory and looked at my watch. She was running a few minutes behind. I walked around with my hands behind my back when suddenly, I hit with a blast to the back and went flying into a tree. I got up to see who attacked me, but when I turned around, I pinned to the tree,
“Lorenzo,”
