Chapter 5

Joel's POV I went to my room and instructed the guard not to let anyone come into my room or disturb me. "What have I done" I muttered to myself. Now I had to agree to Tricia's plan of marrying her and claiming her baby. I sat on my bed and looked at the lamp where I saw a small frame. This frame meant a lot to me. It brought a lot of memories and regret. On the small frame was a picture of a young woman in her late twenties. My late mate who I lost because of my ignorance. Khloe died in my arms after receiving a hit that was meant for me. For many years I tried to shut the pain I was feeling for losing my mate and now, it seems like it awakened. I felt something wet touch my cheeks and I used my hand to dry it. Tears were not going to bring her back. She was gone and gone for good. I knew that if she was still alive, I wouldn't be planning to get married to a stranger and claim her child. I dropped the frame on the lamp table and stepped out of my room. "Where is she?" "In the guest room your highness" I walked past the guard and made my way to the guest room ********** Tricia's POV That man is so mean and cold. He is not even trying to see my reasons. "BEAST. COWARD" I muttered under my breath. I sat on the bed signing frustrated at everything. Nothing was going as planned. I touched my stomach thinking about my child. "I am sorry but it looks like I won't be able to give you a chance of having a father" I whispered to my child hoping it was hearing me This wasn't my plan. I grew up without having a father. Seeing my mother struggle to train me and my sister was so heartbreaking. Every kid in my class then would always go home with their father but I and my sister always went home by ourselves. My mom always came home late at night after a stressful day at work. I always yearned for the love of a father and I didn't want my children to grow up without a father. I wanted a man who would love, respect, and protect me and my children. It's funny how I thought Andrew could be that man but I was wrong. The door to my room pushed open and the Alpha stepped in. "Hey! Can't you knock or didn't your mother teach you how to" He gazed at me coldly and I shuddered after his stare. He tightened his hands into a fist and walked closer to me and that was when I got a better look at his eyes which had already turned red "Don't you ever speak of my mother in such a manner again? Am I understood?" I swallowed hard as I nodded my head in fear not wanting to piss him off any further. His gaze made me flinch and I knew he was furious. "Why are you in my__" "I accept your offer" he interrupted me putting a stop to what I was about to say as he moved away from where I was walking to the door. "Pardon," I thought I wasn't hearing clearly because a few minutes ago, he acted like he wasn't going to accept the plan. He yanked the door open and glanced at me "Get ready. In two minutes, we are going to the hospital to see the royal pack doctor. I don't know if you're lying about being pregnant and I don't trust you" I was still in shock about what I just heard. "Is he serious?" I asked myself. I squealed in excitement after realizing that he agreed to the plan. I jumped on my bed like a two-year-old child who just received candy. A knock on the door ended my excitement. Who could that be "You can come in" A young lady with black short hair that looked like a bob came into the room "Ma'am I am your maid and I have been assigned to assist you with anything you might need" I looked at her speechless. She just went to the wardrobe to pick up something I might like and I could wear. After she was done with that, She went to set the water in the bathroom so I could take my bath. She walked towards me so she could help me take off my clothes." No, I will be okay. I can do that myself" She nodded and stood straight like a robot with her hands behind her back and her face bowed. "Are you going to watch me undress?" I asked surprised she was still in the room "No ma'am. I am going to help you take your bath" My eyes widened at her reply. Is that what they do here "There won't be any need for that, you can go" She bowed her head as she took her leave and closed the door behind her. After she was gone, I checked the door and locked it again so that no one would enter my room while I undressed. ********** I was brushing my hair while looking in the mirror when I heard a knock "Who is it?" walking to the door, I unlocked it and stepped back to the mirror " Are you rea_" he stopped in his words he stared at me amazingly " Are you tired of staring?" I asked him. A smirk plastered on my face as he left the room instantly "Hey, are you leaving me here" I didn't get any reply as I followed him fast down the stairs. I saw him entering a car. A big black car "Is this yours" I halted in my tracks to glance at the car. "Are you entering or not?" he asked and shut the door of the car. So rude and cold. I quickly joined him in the car and the driver zoomed off. ********** We got to the hospital and all the nurses and doctors bowed their heads in respect to the Alpha. We went straight to the VIP section and I was taken by a nurse to where I could do the test. After the test was conducted, we both sat in the office of the doctor and waited for the result of the test to be out. The Doctor came back with a white paper in his hands. He sat down and looked at me in curiosity. "What does the result say?" The Alpha asked impatiently. "I would prefer you take a look at it Alpha" The doctor stretched his arm avoiding the cold glare of the Alpha "Read it out" The Alpha commanded With his head bowed, he said"Well according to the result here, she is not pregnant" The doctor responded by glancing at me and observing my expression. My whole body was shocked at what I just heard.
