Fiona left after I refused her. She had been hesitant and
wanted to convince me for some reason to go see her, but I didn’t want to give Serena any more reason to be angry.
With her gone, I turned to face Serena.
“Find some time to check on her,” she said, not looking at me.
“I’m not going back to Sophie,” I said, making my way
towards her. “I’m not going to see her.”
She glanced at me. “That’s your business,” she said, and
moved toward the door.
“Serena.” I caught her arm. She stopped but didn’t turn
around. “Have dinner with me tonight, I’ll cook.”
She turned around and gave me a look. Although it wasn’t anything splendid, it basically showed that sh did not trust
me to make food for her.

She nodded her head softly. “Okay,” she said.
Her eyes dropped to my hand around her wrist. I slowly let it
The morning proceeded smoothly but my thoughts danced around the dinner we were supposed to have tonight. This was going to be the start of our brand new relationship. We were going to work on our marriage.
A knock came from my door and then it opened. Mark stood in the doorway his eyes on me. “Alpha.”
“Why are you suddenly here? You’re supposed to be looking after Sophie.” I reminded him.
“I know.” He advanced forward. “But there are stories
circulating,” he said. “People are saying you and Sophie were in that room together for a reason. Some of them are saying Sophie’s child is yours.”
This had not been the plan. The people that I had wanted to
think Ethan was my son were my family. As for the others, it was completely different. It not only affected my pack but also my marriage.
The best thing to do was fix these rumors before it turned into something else.
“Curb it,” I said.
“I’m trying, sir. There are multiple sources. Social media,
group conversations, it’s already moving fast.”
“Then move faster.” I pressed both hands over my face. “I’ll
be leaving early today. Handle what you can. I don’t want
Serena seeing this before I’ve had a chance to talk to her.”
Mark bowed and then he walked out.
With him gone, I picked up my phone and I texted Serena. Do
you need me to pick you up?
Her reply came back immediately. No. I can get home myself.
I didn’t want to push it and force her into doing things she did not wish to do. If she didn’t want me picking her up from the hospital, it was fine. I was going to be understanding and not force her into doing things I wanted
After work, I went to the supermarket to get some of the things that I would be needing to cook. After which, I rushed home and made sure everything was set before she would come back.
I stood frozen staring at the three of them. Trevor, my own best friend had a smile on his face as he walked forward. It was obviously a mocking smile, he was getting off on seeing me in this state. As for Andrew. He hovered around Serena as if he was glued to her person.
“What’s this?” I asked utterly confused.
She said it so simply and innocently anyone would think she actually had the thought of these two in her heart and not just because she wanted to get me angry.
“Serena.” I caught her wrist in the doorway making her stop in her tracks.
what I did and I’m not going to do it again. I just need you to let me say it.”
“It’s fine,” she said. “I don’t care anymore.”
“You should care.” I looked at her. “You love me. Can you not go back to even some part of that? Why are you treating me like I don’t exist?”
