Chapter 423
Untamed: The Alpha
423 SIX WEEKS
Everything that happened in the last few hours was a blur of memories for Liam. He didnât know how he could calm Jasmine down and bring her to see Ariana, who was visibly shocked when she saw the state Jasmine was in.
The nursery room couldnât be used for the meantime, because of the glass shards and also because of the thick smell of blood that filled the room.
Therefore, while Jasmine was in the infirmary and the nursery room couldnât be used, Liam ordered his people to move the babiesâ cribs to his bedroom. They would be there until Jasmine was fit enough, while he prepared another room for the babies.
âHow is she?â Liam asked, he looked at Jasmineâs pale face and bandaged body. There were small cuts on her skin, but what bothered the alpha the most was the cut on her neck, it wouldnât stop bleeding.
Ariana said, deeper than that and they would have lost her already. Those words kept ringing in his mind along with the dreadful feeling that he felt if that really happened to her. He couldnât imagine that. He didnât want to imagine that.
âShe is... fine.â Ariana narrowed her eyes when she looked at Jasmine. She didnât know if it was fine to let the alpha know about this. She was not in a good position. âShe will wake up in a few hours after the medicine wears off, but the cuts on her body will take longer to heal. Donât worry, they will not leave any scars.â
Her medicine could heal scars, but it didnât work on Emily. She was still wondering how her scars could be full of dark magic when Eros was not a magic wielder. That was why her scars couldnât be healed.
âTell me, what is it?â Liam could feel Arianaâs reluctance to explain further about this situation. âWhat do you want to say?â
Ariana bit her lips, she didnât know whether it was right or not to let him know.
.....
âI know you are hiding something, tell me what it is?â Ariana glanced at Colton, who was standing behind the Alpha. Her mate looked so calm that sometimes she wondered how a pacifist like Colton could serve two generations of mad alphas.
Liam was no different from his father, Alpha Xerxes, right now.
From the corner of her eyes, Ariana could see Colton nod subtly, encouraging her to let the alpha know about his mateâs true condition.
âThe Luna is fine,â Ariana started, she was a little bit trembling under the sharp gaze of the alpha. âSo is her child.â
Ariana felt all the air being sucked out of her lungs when she said this. She didnât want to let him know without Jasmineâs permission, but if she kept quiet and Jasmine decided to keep the baby, the alpha would know that she had known about this pregnancy beforehand and that she kept it secret.
Ariana didnât want to put Jasmine in a difficult position, since she had endured so much already, but she didnât want to put herself and her mate in danger either.
Call her selfish, but in this kind of place, you need to think of your own safety first.
Your empathy shouldnât make you lose your head, because in that case, that was not a wise decision at all.
âA... a child?â Liam turned his head to look at Jasmineâs sleeping face, he gritted his teeth. âShe is pregnant.â That was not a question, but a statement.
However, the real question that he wanted to know the answer to most was; was it his child? Was she pregnant with his child? How should he ask about this without letting them know what his actual question was?
âFor how long?â Liam could hear his voice shaking. He hoped he would hear an answer he wanted, even though he knew the possibility of it not being his child was high.
Ariana lowered her head when she replied to this. âSix weeks.â
Six weeks and Liam had just returned for less than a month...
The Alpha closed his eyes. He balled his fists, as he breathed heavily. He tried to control himself, but the only thing that kept echoing in his head was what Darius said that night. He told everything, everything that he didnât want to hear.
He confessed everything about the affair that he had with Jasmine, how she said she loved him. Fuck that! Jasmine only said it because he didnât treat her well. She only did that to get back at him.
Liam was ready to forget about it, he had gotten rid of that man and he wouldnât bother his life and Jasmineâs any longer.
Liam had thought about all the precautions that he needed to take, so this little bitch wouldnât have any affair behind his back again, but now what?! A child?! A child of that bastard!?
She was pregnant with another manâs child.
His mate was carrying another manâs child.
On the other hand, Colton pulled Ariana closer to him and made her stand behind him, just in case the alpha would go crazy and hurt her. No matter what, his priority was his mate. He knew how crazy Liam could be whenever something didnât go according to his plan and this news must be a huge blow to him.
âSix weeks...â Liam repeated the words over and over again, as if he wanted to remember those two words and when he opened his eyes, they fell on Jasmineâs flat stomach, but inside, there was that bastardâs seed.
Liam had this urge to rip Jasmineâs stomach open and destroy it himself. His claws had emerged from the tips of his fingers, while Colton took two steps back with Ariana close to him.
âCan you get rid of the baby?â Liam asked. No one said this, but there was a tacit understanding between them that the baby in Jasmineâs stomach was not the alphaâs.
