Scarlett ignored whatever it was that Alex was saying to Rogan on the phone as she applied powder to her face. For some reason, she could clearly hear what Alex was telling Rogan, even if she was sure the call was not on speaker. She had been noticing so many things recently. She now had heightened senses. She could smell things, no matter how far they were, and she also could hear things she was not supposed to. She could see clearly in the dark too. All these were attributes all werewolves possess immediately they get their wolf. Scarlett always brushed it away and attributes it to the fact that she was pregnant. Not just pregnant, but might be carrying an alpha in her. Maybe her baby's ability was wearing off on her. After she gives birth, all these things would vanish, so no need to celebrate or rejoice over them when they were not here to stay. Scarlett was applying lip gloss when Rogan stretched his phone to her, “Mr Bandini wants to speak with you”Scarlett pouted her lips as

Scarlett?”The voice repeated again and Scarlett could feel him standing behind her. Oh, so close, she could feel his body heat, but she couldn't turn around to face him. Her legs felt heavy, like heavy irons had been placed on them, and she felt a chill traveling down her spine. Bile rose up in her throat as fear filled her heart.What was Liam doing here? Was he not supposed to be back in his pack with his lovely Olivia? She knew he comes to the human world when necessary, but why did he have to come to this hotel of all places? Or did he already know that she was here? Did he look for her and find out that she was here? Was he here for her?So many questions yet no answer. All she could do was turn around and ask these questions, but she couldn't. He would see her stomach, and he would know that she was with his child. Once Liam found out that she was pregnant with his child, she was done for because he would take the baby from her. Fear and panic fill her heart. She wouldn't allow

“Scarlett'' Alex called immediately as the door of Scarlett's office closed behind the both of them. “I want to be left alone,” Scarlett said, shutting him up as she walked to her table and began to gather her things. Alex ignored her words, “Scarlett, who was that man? Do you know him? Why did he come to look for you here?”“I know him” Scarlett was not going to deny knowing Liam, but she definitely did not know why he came here to look for her. Liam was the only one that could answer that question. Scarlett packed the last of her things into her bag and slung it on her shoulder, “I want to go home”. Scarlett began to make her way to the door, but Alex stepped in front of her to block her path, “We need to talk, Scarlett”Scarlett refused to meet his gaze, her eyes were on the door, “No we don't, Alex. I want to go home. I don't want to talk to anyone.” All she wanted to do now was crawl into a hole and lick her wound. A hole where there was no one except her. The tip of her nose

“How was your night? I hope you are well rested?”Scarlett looked to her left side, where the voice came from, to see Alex standing there. He was dressed in a dark suit that hugged his lean and tall frame, his pepper red hair was gelled back leaving his face bare and his green eyes were twinkling like they did not have a misunderstanding yesterday. Maybe he did not view it as one.“Good morning to you too and yes, I slept well” Scarlett answered“Well, mademoiselle, I will be taking you to work today” Alex brought his hands out of his suit pockets to wave his car key in the air. Scarlett hesitated, she knew that agreeing for him to take her to work means that they would talk in the car. He would want to ask her about Liam again this morning. “You don't have anywhere to be at? No place to travel to? No business to…”“No, I don't. Now, stop dilly-dally, or you will be late for work”.Scarlett sighed before she began to walk up to him. There was absolutely no way she could run away. He

“Why don't you try to talk to your family and her? Explain to them and maybe they will understand”. Alex as shaking his head before Scarlett finished talking, “They won't agree”Scarlett frowned in surprise, “They won't?”Alex shook his head, “They won't”“Any reason why? I thought it's your life and future we were talking about here? You are the one to make these decisions yourself” Why was he acting like he was a kid? Everyone should pick their partners themselves, was that not how it was? Was it different for humans? “You know that neither of you are going to be happy together, right? Alana is so in love with you, and she came here to warn me to stay away from you. But I'm sure you already know that by now”“I know she loves me”“Does she know that the feeling is not mutual?”“She is supposed to know that it's not mutual because I have never given her the green light and…”“And you haven't told her that you don't love her either. You did not give her the green light because you
