The Alpha's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 669

Chapter 669: THE PREGNANCY

I heard a laugh.

A woman’s laugh.

Warm. Soft. Familiar in a way that sent a shiver down my spine.

I turned, looking around, but the forest around me was different.

Lighter , greener, as if touched by another world.

Sunlight spilled through the leaves in gold beams, and everything smelled of flowers and fresh water.

The laugh echoed again.

I knew that laugh.

I shouldn’t have, but I did.

My feet moved before my mind did, carrying me deeper into the forest. The sound pulled me like a thread, tugging me forward.

There were voices now.

A woman’s voice, light and musical.

A man’s voice, deeper, warm, laughing along with her.

I froze behind a tree.

They were close.

So close that if I breathed too loudly, they would hear me. I peeked out carefully, heart thundering.

The woman was sitting by a lake, water so still it looked like glass, her feet dangling above the surface. Her hair was the first thing I noticed.

Curly.

Wild.

Vibrant red.

Exactly like mine.

Or rather like it used to until I had become blonde.

A man lay with his head in her lap, his own hair a soft, bright blonde. He looked up at her like she had caught the sun itself.

I couldn’t see his face.

Just his blonde hair.

They were laughing, whispering things I couldn’t quite hear.

But the moment I saw her face properly

My breath left me.

It was her.

The girl in my dreams running and laughing.

The one who had called me my name. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Here I was once again with her.

Only this time... she wasn’t a blur.

She wasn’t distant.

I could see the curve of her jaw.

The shape of her lashes.

The faint freckles across her nose.

She was beautiful.

And she looked exactly like me, only older, softer, happier.

A wave of déjà vu crashed over me so hard my knees trembled. This didn’t feel like a dream.

This felt like a memory.

Someone’s memory.

Maybe... mine?

The lady suddenly stiffened.

Her head turned in my direction.

I gasped and ducked behind the tree so fast I scraped my elbow. My heart felt like it might burst out of my chest.

"What’s wrong?" I heard the man ask gently.

"I... I thought I felt something," the girl whispered.

His voice shifted as if he were sitting up. "Where?"

"Over there," she said. So close. Too close.

I pressed my hand over my mouth. My body wouldn’t move. The air felt thick, heavy.

I heard him stand and take a few steps.

Branches shifted.

Leaves rustled.

He was looking for me.

I held my breath until my lungs burned.

After a long silence, he spoke again.

"There’s no one here," he said finally, softer this time. "Come, love."

Their voices quieted again, falling back into their soft conversation.

Slowly, terrified, I peeked around the tree.

The man was back in her lap.

Her fingers were threaded through his blond hair, brushing it back gently.

They both looked so peaceful, so perfect, as though the world outside didn’t exist.
