Accidentally Pregnant By My Alpha Best friends (Madeline) novel Chapter 890

Byron:

After finding out that the monster was dead and seeing Baxter there, I realized I had to go back home.

An idea had struck me at that very moment.

I knew that once everyone returned and this whole mess was over, no one would let me do what I had in mind.

Right now was my only chance. Everyone was distracted, so no one would notice what I was doing.

I had to do it now.

There was no real reason for me to stay there anymore, so I immediately returned home. Obviously, I did even see Madeline before leaving.

I tried to tell her everything was fine, though I wasn't sure she believed me.

Either way, I needed to see Rosetta.

The moment I arrived, I found her with Bodhi.

"You watch cartoons. Everything will be okay," Rosetta told him before rising from the couch.

She did a double take when she noticed me standing in the room.

"What is going on? Is everything okay?" she asked, hurrying toward me.

I glanced at Bodhi before looking back at her.

"He's fine," she assured me, probably assuming he was the reason I'd rushed home looking so unsettled.

"I need to speak with you," I told her, taking her hand and leading her toward the bedroom.

"Take care of him, okay?" Rosetta called out to the maid before I ushered her into the room with me.

"What is going on?" she questioned, clearly confused.

I held both of her arms and pulled her closer.

Her eyes widened, and her nose scrunched slightly.

Her father was asleep right now, which was the only reason I could be this close to her without being interrupted.

"I, Alpha Byron, accept Rosetta as my mate."

The moment the words left my mouth, her eyes widened even further.

I didn't give her enough time to process what I'd said before gently shaking her arms.

"Come on. Accept me as your mate," I insisted.

"No, Byron. What are you doing? Why are you in such a hurry?" she asked, pulling herself free from my grasp.

"No, it's..." I trailed off.

I needed to think quickly.

"I don't know what's going to happen out there, but I want to be with you," I admitted.

She tilted her head.

"What do you mean, what's going to happen out there? Is something wrong? Are they losing?"

She immediately stepped closer and placed her hands against my chest, staring up at me with those beautiful, innocent eyes.

Her scent immediately overwhelmed my senses.

When I pulled away, I tilted my neck toward her.

She hesitated.

"Come on. Do it," I urged, reaching for her again.

I had clearly caught her off guard.

Rosetta lowered her mouth to my neck, her canines pressing against my skin.

Just as she was about to bite down, I felt her fingers tense.

That was when I knew she'd remembered why she wasn't supposed to mark me.

Before she could pull away, I placed a hand behind her head and forced her closer, driving her canines fully into my neck.

"What the hell have you done, Byron?"

The moment Rosetta stepped away from me, she started screaming.

"We weren't supposed to mark each other! The moment I mark you, you die. Have you lost your mind?"

She backed away, tears already gathering in her eyes.

"You said I didn't love you for who you are. That was the only way I could prove that I do," I told her.

The words had barely left my mouth when she stepped forward and slapped me across the face.
