Chapter 424 Another Pup For The Alpha

AMY

I pressed my palm to my chest, grounding myself.

Fear was there, but it wasn’t winning.

If my father thought keeping me comfortable would make me compliant, he was wrong. Comfort only gave me time. Time to observe routines.

Time to study people like Mara. Time to understand the structure of this place.

And time, I had learned, was the most dangerous weapon of all.

I woke to a heat that felt like it had settled into my bones. My forehead burned against the pillow, and each movement made my limbs ache. “Mara…” My voice was hoarse, weak.

She appeared instantly, her hands steadying me. “Amy, you’re burning up. Don’t try to move too fast.”

“I feel… awful,” I whispered, shivering despite the heat. “Something’s wrong.”

She pressed a cool hand to my forehead. “I know. Stay with me. I’ve already called the doctor. He’s on his way.”

I tried to sit up, but the room tilted. “Where…?” I croaked.

“You’re in the penthouse suite. Skyscraper’s top floor. You need to rest. Trust me.”

“I… I feel sick… my wolf…” I faltered. My wolf’s presence, normally coiled around my senses, trembled alongside my fever.

Mara’s fingers brushed my cheek. “I can feel her. She’s as restless as you are. It’s okay. Just breathe.”

Minutes later, a knock sounded, and a calm voice called, “Amy? I’m here to check you.”

The doctor stepped in, small black bag in hand. His eyes scanned me. “High fever,” he said. “We’ll take blood and run tests. I need you to be calm.”

I tried to steady myself. “Will… will it hurt?”

“Just a little prick,” he said, crouching beside me. “I’ll guide you. Mara, hold her hand.”

Mara squeezed mine, murmuring, “We’re right here, Amy. You can do this.”

The doctor took my blood, running through instructions calmly. “You’ve been under stress. Fever is a reaction, but we need to check for other causes. Stay hydrated, rest, and have no sudden movements.”

I nodded weakly, closing my eyes. Every memory of my previous pregnancy, every ache of loss, returned in a wave. My wolf growled low in concern, echoing my own unease.

When he finished, he stepped back. “Results will take a short while. I’ll be back.”

2. Finished

I sank into the pillows, Mara’s presence anchoring me, but my mind raced. The skyscraper felt enormous, each glass wall reflecting my panic back at me.

I had survived trauma before, but now, isolated and feverish, I felt vulnerable in a way I hadn’t anticipated.

Mara stroked my hair. “Amy, you’re not alone. We’ll handle this. Just rest.”

Hours passed slowly. Then, the doctor returned, and Mara was at my side, tension etched in her face.

He spoke softly, clearly aware of my state. “Amy, you’re pregnant.”

The words hit me like a weight. I froze, my wolf stiffening with alertness. “Pregnant…?” I whispered, barely believing it.

“Yes,” he confirmed gently. “Your body shows early signs. I ran additional tests to be certain. You’re pregnant.”

My mind spun. Fear, shock, disbelief, even a faint spark of hope–every emotion collided. “I… I don’t know what to feel,” I admitted. “After… after losing my last child…”

Mara squeezed my hand. “It’s okay. You’re safe here. We’ll make sure you’re protected.”

My wolf bristled at the reminder of danger, and I felt a physical tension in my chest. “Safe… but for how long?” I murmured. “I don’t even know where Elias or whoever… who’s behind my kidnapping is. How can I protect…”

“Right now, you rest,” the doctor interrupted, calm and firm. “You cannot think about danger. Your body needs time to adjust. Stress could affect the pregnancy.”

I swallowed, trying to steady my racing heart. “I… I thought I could handle this… but…” My voice broke.

“You can,” Mara said softly. “And your wolf can too. Focus on small steps. Rest. Hydrate. Let your body settle.”

I leaned back, closing my eyes again. The fever still burned, but knowing that I carried life inside me made everything sharper, heavier. The skyscraper, the city outside, Mara’s voice–it all felt distant, filtered through pain and anticipation.

“I… I feel scared,” I admitted, whispering more to myself than anyone. “I don’t know if I can do this… not after losing…”

“You can,” the doctor said again, softly, but with authority. “Your body has endured. Your mind has endured. Now focus on the present. The rest we will manage together.”

Mara placed her hand over mine, still warm and steady. “We’re not leaving you alone, Amy. You’re not alone in this.”

I exhaled shakily, trying to absorb her words. My wolf, still alert, relaxed fractionally, curling alongside me in tentative acceptance. The tension ebbed slightly, replaced by cautious awareness.

“You’ll need to stay hydrated,” the doctor added. “I’ll return daily for tests, monitoring, and any adjustments. For now, rest. Let your wolf and your body recover.”

I nodded, weakly. “I… okay… I’ll try.”
