---- This...

this is the surprise I had for you Xav.

I am pregnant.

I whisper with tears pooling in my eyes.

This wasn't the way I wanted to break the news to him.

But anyway.

He was going to get to know sooner.

Why not now? But the baby bump is clearly showing.

His eyes stayed transfixed on my bump and he looked like he had seen a ghost.

Sliding myself down from the table I cup his face in my hands.noveldrama

Forcing him to look at me.

You are going to be a dad, Xav.

W- e are going to be parents! His eyes finally flicker to mine.

But the look in them wasnt what I expected I thought he would be the happiest man alive ---- eee The child wasnt planned of course.

But he wanted an heir sooner or later.

The council must be pestering him for it already.

But his eyes show no traces of happiness.

Rather I see confusion, doubt and then all of it morphs into an emotion of his I had feared a lot in the past.

Anger.

Raw anger.

Doll...

How...

how could you do this to me? I waited for you Sierra.

I chose you over Reb.

I chose you over the council...

over this throne.

Over myself dammit! I look at him in confusion.

What is he saying? T moved the very world to get you back! I lifted the curse! I made those untouchable pieces of shit Crets live with my pure-blooded people! ---- T made you my Queen Doll...

How could you betray me! He swats away my hand and goes on a rampage.

Upturning the bed, throwing aside the candles, and ripping the flowers I move back to lean on the wall and shake my head in a no.

My arms wrap around my torso in protectiveness T-I didn't betray you Xav...

what are you saying- He comes towards me like a beast on a rampage.

And next, I know his palms slam on the wall on either side of my head and I flinch.

Four questions.

I will ask you four questions doll and you know better not to lie to me.

The hate in his eyes made my insides crumble.

My breath turned heavy and it felt like someone was choking me without even touching me.

Question number one...did he touch you.

---- eee = But Fucking Yes or no Sierra! He yells to slam his fists on the wall beside my head and I feel the debris from the wall, breaking off.

My heart was ready to abandon my chest and I felt my ears ringing.

Y-es Did he ever force you? Did Adrian ever force me? N-o Ts he your mate? My body freezes.

How? How does he know? How do you- One word Doll.

Yes or no.

Yes Did you reject him?
