Accidentally Pregnant By My Alpha Best friends (Madeline) novel Chapter 2

Livia:

“You’ve been so busy lately,” my mother remarked as she entered my room and handed me a bowl of fruit.

“Yeah. It’s just–I have a lot to deal with right now,” I uttered, avoiding the truth about what was really going on.

Two people had been brought from the werewolf land to the top of the mountains, and I still didn’t understand why.

Then there was President Sawyer.

He still hadn’t woken up.

The guards and mayors from different towns kept pressuring me.

They all wanted him back.

Strangely enough, none of them wanted Nina to know they were demanding his return.

Nina, however, was a completely different story.

She seemed far too happy for someone whose husband was lying in a coma.

“Livia, I’m so happy for you and everything you’ve achieved, but don’t you think it’s time to focus on your personal life too?” my mother asked with a warm smile.

I knew exactly what she meant, but I still pretended not to understand.

“I am focusing on it. I’m becoming the head researcher. I’m taking over the position of the president’s previous wife. That’s a huge responsibility,” I replied, continuing to type on my computer.

“No, Livia,” she said softly, sitting beside me on the bed and reaching for my hand. “I mean you should find a boyfriend.”

“I–I’m not sure I’m ready for that yet,” I murmured, giving her hand a small squeeze.

Still, something strange has been happening to me lately.

Daniel had pointed it out before.

Ever since we found that man on the mountaintop nearly three weeks ago, I had been completely focused on him.

I’d kept the news hidden from the media and everyone else.

Even Nina had no idea.

He was being treated in my private lab by best doctors.

Thankfully, the general and mayors avoided informing Nina of everything despite being the president’s wife, which made it easier to keep everything secret.

But Daniel kept teasing me about the way I looked at the stranger whenever I visited him.

I didn’t think I stared that much.

I mean, yes, he was ridiculously handsome.

Sometimes I caught myself watching him while he slept, studying the calm look on his face.

But that was all.

“Is everything okay?” my mother asked, snapping her fingers in front of my face when she noticed I’d drifted off again.

“Yeah. Yeah,” I replied, scratching the back of my neck. “One of my patients is in a coma, and I really want him to wake up.”

The moment I admitted it out loud, I felt my heart skip a beat.

How would I feel when he finally woke up?

For him to call this early in the morning, something important must have happened.

“Hello, Daniel. Good morning,” I said teasingly, making it obvious I noticed how early he was calling.

“Livia, you’re not going to believe what just happened.”

The excitement in his voice made me sit upright instantly, pushing my laptop aside on the bed.

“What is it?” I asked quickly.

“Your patient. He’s awake.”

Those words sent goosebumps rushing through my body.

“Wait—are you talking about—” I trailed off, pressing a hand against my chest.

“Yes. The stranger from the mountaintop,” Daniel confirmed. “He’s awake.”

At that exact moment, thunder rumbled through the sky, and rain began pouring outside.

I turned toward the window, my breath catching slightly as I watched the storm unfold.

It felt like everything was happening for a reason.

I didn’t understand why I felt so attached to him already.

And now, just as I had been thinking about him, he woke up.

Could it actually be a sign?

Excitement rushed through me at the thought of finally seeing the color of his eyes.
