My Bestfriend Slipped Inside Me (An Alpha’s Secret)

Avery’s pov

His response hit me like a strike to my gut, powerful and painful all at once.” She left?” I repeated, my tone a gust of disbelief.

My mom, she had promised she would be by my side through all of this. I had thought-

I swallowed. Had she lied to me? Did she no longer want to accept that my fate was with Xade and no one else?

The thought was painful and tearing my insides apart. Had she really abandoned me?

Xade’s eyes flickered with something I could not read before it vanishes. However, was able to detect a few of the emotions running before he was able to push them away. Sadness and guilt?

She may come back baby,” he whispered and seeming to say those words without much belief in them. It was like he was hiding the full truth from me.

“But don’t worry about that for now, focus on trying to fight the shift happening within you.”

I wanted to ask him further questions, demand him to answer me but the look in his eyes told me to drop the subject. At least for now. And as much as I wanted to push to know the full entire truth on why my mom left, I knew he was right that this wasn’t the best time.

I had to focus. I had to focus on not losing my human side.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

So instead of pushing for my answers, I swallowed the lump in my throat and nod, pressing my ear once more against his chest to listen to his heartbeat that had now become my bind.

Xade’s grip around me adjusted, making sure I was comfortable in his arms before stalking down the stairs. His parents and the others were behind us, of course, I am sure listening to every word that passed between Xade and me.

I closed my eyes tightly as if it would somehow block the fear lingering in my body. Xade held me tighter as if he could sense the disorder going on in my body all at once.

The pain in my lower stomach flares once more and I grind my teeth together. It was now becoming a pain I was quickly getting accustomed to.

I pulled in a shallow breath, rooting the calmness in my body to fight my mind from wandering to the pain. The sting was numbing and my concern was more on our baby than what was to become of me.

I did not want to lose my human soul, however I didn’t want to lose our baby more. That kind of pain, I knew would be unbearable to the point I wouldn’t want to live. I had only just found out we were expecting, but the baby already meant everything to me.

Xade pulls me closer to him and I close my eyes, trying to block out the fear that gnawed in me.

I listen to his heartbeat, listen to the steadiness of his breath and kept listening until darkness crept in and I found peace in sleep.
