The Alpha Who Never Loved Me (Serena and Kieran) novel Chapter 93

Chapter 93

Serena

A knock came at my door and before I reached it, Jenna pushed through.

Her arms were already open and threw them around me, squeezing me so hard my ribs ached. I caught her and held on feeling my heart about to burst in flames.

She pulled back and her eyes dropped to my stomach; her mouth fell open and her grip on my arms tightened.

The loose shirt I wore did nothing to hide the curve that pressed against the fabric. I wore it for comfort and not for disguise, and the belly underneath sat round and obvious and Jenna’s eyes stayed locked on it.

“Serena.” Her voice was a whisper. “You’re pregnant?”

I pressed my hand against my belly; the baby shifted under my palm. “I didn’t want anybody to know.”

“How long?” She grabbed my arm. “Why didn’t you tell me? Why did you keep this hidden for so long?”

“I can’t keep it hidden anymore.” I met her eyes. “I didn’t tell anyone because I didn’t want Kieran to find out.”

Trevor stood by the door; his eyes moved from my face to my stomach and back to my face.

“What does this mean?” he asked. “Are you going back to Kieran? Are you going to let your child grow up in a destroyed home?”

“It’s not my fault the home is destroyed.” My voice did not waver. “Kieran destroyed it and I’m not responsible for what he broke.”

“What happens when he finds out?”

“I don’t care if he finds out.” I folded my arms above my belly; Aina stirred inside me and pressed toward the warmth of the child beneath my hands. “I kept this baby because I want to raise this baby, and if Kieran wants to do or say anything about it, it’s not his place.”

Trevor rubbed the back of his neck. “Okay.” He exhaled. “I want to throw a welcome party for you. Tonight. Are you willing to come?”

creased and her hand moved to my arm.

“I don’t know.” I pressed my palm against my stomach. “But I’m not going to keep hiding. I’m pregnant, Mom. I’m not dying.”

She looked at me and her eyes moved down to my belly and then back to my face.

“Okay,” she said.

By evening, Jenna came to pick me up.

I changed three times. The first dress clung too tight and showed every contour. The second washed me out and made me look tired. The third was a blue dress, loose and flowing; it draped over my belly and the low neckline sat against my collarbone and the color deepened the warmth in my skin.

Jenna stood behind me in the reflection and her eyes went glassy. “You’re beautiful,” she said.

I turned sideways and smoothed the fabric over my belly. “Let’s go before I change my mind.”

The private room was warm and full when we walked in; Trevor filled it with familiar faces, friends from the pack. Music played low from a speaker in the corner and the table was covered with food and sparkling drinks and candles that flickered against the dark walls.

My eyes swept the room; my pulse climbed and Aina pressed forward, searching the bond for Cora, but the thread did not pull toward anyone in this room.

Kieran was not here.

My shoulders dropped; the muscles in my neck and my spine released and I exhaled and the air came out clean and full and my lungs expanded with it.

Trevor appeared at my side. “I didn’t invite him,” he said; his voice was low enough for only me. “I didn’t think you

wanted him here.”

I hugged him; my arms went around his neck and I held on and the gratitude poured through my chest so fast my eyes stung and I blinked against it.

“Thank you,” I said against his shoulder.

I had no idea if Serena came back.

I needed her to, I had a couple of things that needed to be talked about and if our relationship would be fixed or not.

The main floor was busy; music poured from the speakers and bodies filled the booths and the bartender nodded at me when I passed. I walked toward the private room I always used.

The room was empty; no Trevor, no glass on the table, no

rooms; most were dark and locked. Then I reached a door at the end of the corridor and laughter bled through the wood, loud and bright and layered with voices I recognized.

I pushed the door open.

The room was full; people sat on couches and stood with glasses in their hands and the light was warm and golden and the energy hit me before I could process a single face.
