Chapter 58
And then that question about the iron pills… God, she was making it so obvious. Practically flaunting her pregnancy to lure Nolan in. And the worst part was that it was working.
But his question made one thing clear:
He wasn’t sure.
She hadn’t directly told him. She hadn’t shown him the ultrasound.
Felicity wasn’t sure why Ellie would hide the proof, since she needed to show Nolan that she was pregnant in order to maintain her position. But Felicity wasn’t about to look a gift horse in the mouth.
If Ellie wanted to play this ridiculous game of making him guess and getting him all worked up, then Felicity would just use it to her advantage.
She would make sure to get rid of Ellie’s bastard child before Nolan ever knew about it.
She had the means to do it. She had the access. And all the people in the pack house who were loyal to her were keeping track of Ellie’s every movement and reporting it all back.

And soon, it would be time to act.
She was startled from her thoughts by the appearance of a strange man in a blue suit standing in the doorway. The moment the man appeared, Nolan pulled away from her arms, which only irritated her more.

“Good to meet you in person, Alpha Alaric,” Eastman replied. “I’ve brought the information you requested, but I’m afraid it isn’t much. As I told you over the phone, we have some records of Ellie’s time at our orphanage, but they’re sparse.’
“Any little scrap of information is helpful,” the Alpha said sincerely, reaching for the folder tucked under Eastman’s arm.
He handed it over readily.
“You’ll see in the notes, but just allow me to explain-Ellie had lost her memories when she was brought to us. That’s how she ended up in our care. She was quite young, and it seemed that she had suffered substantial trauma. She couldn’t remember much of anything but bits and pieces that didn’t make sense.”
“Like what?” the broad-shouldered brunette man beside Alaric asked. Eastman recognized him as Eastman’s son, Cassian.
“The first couple of weeks that Ellie was with us, she kept asking if anyone had found her necklace yet,” Eastman explained. “She talked about this beautiful gemstone necklace and kept saying she’d be in trouble if she lost it again. But when we pressed her on it, she couldn’t give us any more information than that, and eventually, she
