I Forgot I Loved You Alpha (Ellie and Nolan) novel Chapter 28

Chapter 28

He only rolled his eyes and took a deep drink of his wine, that cold expression settling over his features again.

I didn’t care. I just sat beside him. We were finally brought some servings of food, and I was starving. I tried to pace myself as I ate, not wanting to draw too much attention as I savored every bite of the roasted vegetables.

We had a few minutes of peaceful silence before someone – a Beta, I think – approached Nolan.

“Sir, there’s a matter that needs your attention for a moment.”

Nolan extended his arm to me as he stood, wanting me to follow.

“Let me eat,” I said, waving him away dismissively. “Right now this beef tartare is more important than whatever you’ve got going on.”

Nolan stared at me, speechless for a moment. I could see the irritation and mild disgust on his face he must have thought I was a complete glutton right then- but I didn’t care. These pregnancy cravings were really starting to become a problem, and all I could think about was the food.

Nolan turned away dismissively and left with the Beta, as I took another large bite and chewed happily.

Third–Person POV

Felicity watched as Nolan and Ellie made their rounds at the party. Ellie was doing her part, acting like a dutiful wife, but Felicity was watching more carefully than anyone else – and she noticed a few odd things.

First of all, Ellie wasn’t drinking her wine. She was holding it up to her mouth once in a while, but the level of the liquid hadn’t changed.

Felicity felt uneasy as she realized the reason Ellie was choosing not to drink – she must really be pregnant.

Her appetite seemed to confirm it. Felicity watched Ellie completely absorbed by her food, stuffing her face full of hors d’oeuvres like a glutton.

Felicity felt sick to her stomach. The idea of Nolan’s baby growing in Ellie’s belly enraged her. She should be the one by his side. She should be his Luna. She should be the one carrying his child – not that ungrateful rogue.

But Felicity stayed calm. She was going to handle it – just like she handled everything else. Nolan would never need to know that Ellie was even pregnant. There would be ways to resolve the situation, to make sure that Ellie didn’t stay pregnant.

Felicity had the right contacts, knew the right people, and had access to the right amount of money for a bribe. So she tapped away at her phone, giving instructions, making arrangements.

She was careful not to let anyone know why she was asking these favors. If word got out that Ellie was pregnant it would ruin everything. And she couldn’t guarantee that her people would be willing to help with this.

Technically, she was targeting the alpha’s child. It would be a massive scandal not to mention a crime if anyone found out.

But no one would, she was confident about that. Ellie would get sick, sure, but it would just be written off as serious food poisoning.
