"Alright Soph, we need to go shopping. You're nearly as big as a whale! I doubt you're going to fit in all you clothes," teased Amy playfully.
I playfully glared at her and crossed my arms. "Heyyyyy. I'm not that fat? Am I?" Tears began to well up in my eyes. I was fat.
Claire must've notice because she wrapped her arms aound me. "You're not fat honey. You're beautiful," she whispered before kissing me lightly on my forehead.
"I'm so sorry Soph, I didn't mean to make you upset," Amy said frantically.
"It's fine. I just hate these damn hormones so friggin' much! They control all my emotions!" I said with frustration.
"Aw, but it's worth it! Imagine your two beautiful angels by the end of it," she said.
"Yeah, you're right. Anyways, I'm going to go to bed for a small nap, wake me before dinner, ok?" I asked no one in particular. They all nodded before I climbed up the never-ending stairs to my room.
Once I was there, I changed into a pair of cotton shorts and a large top. I sat on my bed with my back against the head board. I looked around at my walls, which were covered with random photographs of me and Emma, Claire, Alpha, Amy or Conor. Each of the photos showed as my stomach got bigger each time.
I rested my head back into a pillows and closed my eyes. I hadn't played my guitar for as long as I could remember, so without second thought, I springed off my bed and into my walk-in closet right at the back. I finally found my guitar case, which I didn't spend long at all before opening and taking out my guitar.
I picked it up and ran my hand over the smooth surface of it. I carried it into my bedroom before taking a seat on the edge of the bed.
I plucked the first string, which brought back the same excitement I got everytime I played the guitar. Before I knew it, I was playing 'Love Story' by Taylor Swift and singing to it as well. I didn't know how I sang, but it seemed as if the words flew out of my mouth so naturally.
Once I finished, I sighed and laid back on the bed with my guitar laying back on my right hand. I was on the brink of falling asleep when the most cruel pain hit me in the lower abdomen. I knew it was Chase but normally when he was . . .with someone, it wasn't as normally bad as this now that I had learn to deal with it better.
I already knew it was bad news, since Alpha stood there with a grim expression and Claire with eyes full of sympathy. I just wanted to know what it was already.
"Honey please don't cry after this. It's going to hurt knowing it but please don't be upset. You have to stay strong for your babies," Claire said. I could see tears of her own forming.
"Just . . .please? Tell me what it is," I whispered. I was tired of them speaking in riddles and just wanted to know what it was.
"Your mate . . .he's-he's marked someone else," Daniel blurted.
I froze.
I blinked my eyes twice before my tears spilled. My mate had marked someone else. He was supposed to be the person who loved me more than anything in the world. He was supposed to be the person who'd do anything for me. He was the person who I'd have our babies with and spend the rest of my life with . . .
