Accidentally Pregnant By My Alpha Best friends (Madeline) novel Chapter 451

Livia:

"I don't know. All I know is that she left for the human city and never returned," I replied as I took a bite of the steak and closed my eyes to savor the taste.

"Mm, this is so good," I added.

My mother stayed silent, but I knew her eyes were on me.

"Tell me, Livia, did it happen again?" she asked.

Her question hit hard. For a second, I thought the gravy had gone down the wrong pipe, and I started to cough. I reached for my wine glass and took a sip, but it did not ease my mother's tension. She was still watching me.

"Tell me, did it happen again?" she repeated, this time more firmly.

"Mom, I don't know what you're talking about," I whispered as I reached for the vegetables.

"Livia, you will not lie to me. I want to know. Did it happen again?" she asked again. Her voice sounded like a warning, and I knew I needed to be honest.

I turned to her and took a deep breath.

"It did. A few weeks ago," I replied, and I watched worry spread across her face.

"Don't worry. I told you, I'm fine," I said as I slowly got up and walked to get a napkin because my mother had forgotten to bring some.

"And I'm telling you, I'm very cautious. I know what I'm doing whenever I face it," I whispered as I reached for the file that had slipped out of my bag and I tucked it back into my bag and returned to sit with my mother.

While we were eating, there were a few things I noticed. I kept feeling this itch across my skin, like something was burning deep inside, right under my left arm. This had been happening for a while.

In the beginning, it was subtle, especially when I had my first interaction with it. I had not told my mother about it because I knew she would panic, but I guess I had not been careful after all.

After we finished dinner, I got up and helped my mother with the dishes before we sat down to watch the movie. The whole time, I hid how I was feeling. Something was happening to my body, something that was not supposed to happen since I was living with humans.

"I'll take a leave. I'm too old to be staying awake," my mother joked as she got up from the couch and walked away.

I nodded and watched her leave while I grabbed the files and started going through them.

Because of a certain reason, her comments got to me. It was as if she had forced me to open my mouth and taunt her.

There was a moment of silence before I heard her laugh.

"You know what, Livia? You remind me of her. She was also very cocky. Well, now she is stuck in the werewolf world, isn't she?"

There was something in her tone that sounded like a threat, but I could not fully understand it.

"Anyway, I would like to meet you in person in the morning, and then we will discuss my husband's condition from there. For now, good night. I think you need a good rest."

That was all she said before she hung up. I bit my tongue and cursed myself for ruining it. Now she would make my life miserable.

"Sure, Nina, we will," I muttered after the call had already ended.

Nina, the longtime assistant of President Sawyer, was now his wife and the one calling the shots on almost everything. Not a single person was happy about it, especially among the president's internal supporters.
