308–Who Is The Baby Daddy?

Nora:

“Please get comfortable. This is your pack now and your home,” Brody uttered as we got out of the

car and he took my bags out of my hands.

“They would have welcomed you so well, but I guess it will have to be in the morning,” Brody said,

holding my hand and leading me to his

mansion.

His pack was small but situated behind the mountains. It was about a 6–hour drive from The Red

Storm Pack. The area was lush, with towering mountains surrounding it.

My head was turned to the mountains and I guess Brody noticed I was thinking about visiting the

mountains.

“Hey, the mountains are off–limits for pack members. There are some mutant rogues up there, and

we don’t have a team of warriors equipped to handle them. So it’s best if we avoid stepping into

those mountains,” Brody quickly informed me, reminding me again, as he wrapped his arm around

my back and led me into his mansion.

The mansion had all–black tiles, giving it a dark and lonely.

atmosphere. I knew he lived alone and didn’t even let his royal beta or royal gamma stay with him.

“This is your room again,” he said, taking me upstairs. True to his word, he was going to give me

time.

“I will give you so much love that Nora-” he started, but his phone rang, and he stepped away from

me to answer it.

300–Who Is The Baby Daddy!

While he was on the phone, I slipped my hand into my pocket and held the pill Natalya gave me. I

wasn’t planning to use this pill; I intended. to tell Brody about my pregnancy. While he was on the

phone, I slipped into the bathroom and flushed out the pill.

As soon as he ended the call, I straightened my back and began, “There’s something-” but I couldn’t

finish as he turned around, and I saw the strange look on his face.

“What happened?” I asked, watching him kneel by one of the black bags and pull out a small gift

box.

Without saying a word, he opened it. What he pulled out left my knees. weak.

It was a pregnancy test–my pregnancy test.

My blood ran cold in that very moment, my entire life flashed before

my eyes.

He held it up and then raised his eyes to meet mine. “April called. She said you’re pregnant. And

that you planned to deceive me into. believing I’m the father of the child? Is that why you hid it from

me? Did you plan to sleep with me soon so that you can lie about the baby being mine?”

His questions fell heavily on me. Every time something went wrong, I would get accused, and

somehow everyone around me believed it.

“No! That’s not true,” I tried to move closer to explain everything, but he stepped back and held the

test out to me.

“What’s not true? Are you not pregnant?” He was clenching his jaw tightly.

“Are you pregnant?” he yelled, throwing the test at me. I ducked, and it

landed on the bed. I thought I will tell him about my pregnancy and he will calmly and maybe a little

emotionally decide if he wants to take that responsibility or leave but the way he was reacting to the

news looked very scary

“Tell me!” he demanded, grabbing my arms and shaking me. I was shocked by his reaction, feeling

as if the last door was closing on me.

“I am,” I finally admitted. As soon as I said it, he pushed me away and started running his hands

through his hair.

“Is it-” he closed his eyes tightly and muttered, “Is it one of your stepbrother’s babies?”

The disdain in his voice made me go silent.

“Your silence won’t save you, Nora. I’ll find out with a DNA test, and you know what I’ll do?” He

grabbed me by the back of my neck and stared into my eyes. “I’ll kill this bastard child with my own

bare hands.”

It felt like watching my demise reflected in his eyes.

“No! How can you–hurt my baby-” I scratched at his hand and freed myself, stepping as far away

from him as I could.

“You think I’ll let you keep this baby? You think I’ll allow the child of those crazy alpha kings to live?

You’re mistaken. They shouldn’t reproduce, and I’ll make sure they don’t.” He grasped my arm and

dragged me into the bathroom, shoving me inside and locking the door behind me.

“Brody! This is my baby too-” I yelled, banging on the door as hard as I could, but he never came

back.

As I shivered from the cold, I knelt down and buried my face in my

hands. “I won’t let anyone harm you. He or your father won’t touch you.”

Everyone had left me, but I would not abandon my child.

It was the right time to let my wolf, that I had hidden from everyone, come out and fight these

pathetic people.

They had no clue what my wolf could do.
