Chapter 3
Daphne's p o v
"You think it's easy for me either having to watch another woman carry my child?" Rosie asked as they stopped in the middle of the room facing each other.
"Our baby!" Stephen corrected.
Rosie chuckles. "You know, I have been thinking what Daphne would do if she finds out that the baby in her womb is actually our fertilized egg, she might get so mad and depressed that she’d kill herself, don’t you think?" Rosie said and laughed quietly.
"It would have been better if she died. That way, the pack would become mine. That would save us a lot of trouble. Maybe we'll just make our own baby in here then." Stephen says coldly, while pressing his index finger into her belly. I could not believe what I was hearing.
"As of that would be easy." Rosie added.
"And I'm not a murderer so this is our best option. The only thing to worry about is she rejecting me before then. That's why we have to be careful because if she suspects anything she may reject me and then divorce me. That’s why we need to keep this secret. Once our child inherits the pack, we’ll deliver her a crushing blow."
"Of course." Rosie says and leans closer her hands now latched on Stephen's shoulder. "There's nothing you would do that will make her reject you. You know that. Aside the fact that she is a fool easy to manipulate, she can't resist you." I watch when finger trailing through his beard.
"The same way you can't resist me huh?" Stephen asks grabbing her waist.
I let the tears pour freely but bite back my cry as I watched them. Rosie and Stephen on his aback while they kissed passionately like pure lovers. Right in my bedroom.
I had received the two biggest blows of my life at the same time. My husband was cheating on me and the child that I have been carrying for six months, that has been giving me so much joy wasn't even mine.
How could I be strong enough to handle this betrayal?
I almost fainted as I watched Rosie sleeping with my husband right on top of my own matrimonial bed. It was too much for me to bear.
I ended up cancelling the meeting that day as I was too weak to carry on with it.
Even after a whole month, I won't be able to get over this shock. A lifetime would not even be enough for me to heal.
After that they went out together and I was left pondering on what to do next. If this was really true then I was more than doomed. Could I believe the words that came out of their mouths? Could I afford not to believe it?
There was only one way to confirm all of this.
I told myself before making my way to the doctor's house. The same one who had done the IVF for me and Stephen. Or so he had claimed.
I knocked on the door twice before he answered. He flicked the curtain off and appeared behind the hands door.
"Hello doctor." I greeted with my hands pulling down the pockets of the coat I was wearing.
He casually outs on his glass before jerking closer to the door to look at me more clearly.
"Alpha Daphne! To what do I owe this late visit?"
"Open the door, doctor. You and I need to talk."
Noticing the tension in my voice as expression, he stands straight.
"What about, alpha?"
"Are you going to let me in or not?"
"Eerhn ... It's quite late, alpha Daphne ... Why don't we reschedule the meeting ... "
But before he could finish, I raised my leg high and landed a kick on the door. He draws back at once in shock.
I kick the side again with all my might.
"Daphne! Stop!" I could hear the fight in his voice as he could see my rage.
"You're gonna break it down ..."
As of I didn't hear him, I sent another kick which sends the handle flying off the door.
"Hold on! Hold on, alpha Daphne. I'll open the door for you."
He pushes his glasses closer to his eyes before opening the door with trembling hands.
"Thank you." I say as I walk in. "Sir down!" I order him and he falls into his seat.
"Now I'm going to ask you a question and you're either honest with me or you lose your teeth as your job!"
He stares up at me with awe, my alpha aura spreading over him.
"The baby I'm carrying. Of who's eggs is it?"
"Y ... Yours of course. It's yours and your husband's."
Before he could say another word, I sent a kick that landed on his mouth.
The kick sends him off his seat and he lands on the floor. But I don't stop. I continued kicking and tramping on him. My wolf churned in excitement as I did what she wanted. Kicking his ass. I continued kicking till his face was covered in blood and I could see two of his teeth on the floor beside him.
"I'll tell you the truth." He calls out in pain and step back away from him panting heavily. It was hard work having to tramp on him like that with the baby. I could barely catch my breath now as my face covered in sweat but I didn't show any form of tiredness. "Go on." I tell him.
"That day. I harvested the egg from Rosie not yours and made it with Stephen's sperm. He made me do it. He offered me a lot and I couldn't resist. I'm sorry."
"Are my eggs damaged?" I asked while keeping a straight face.
"No. But the chance of your eggs being fertilized was just ten per cent. It was very low so Stephen was sure it wouldn't work anyway so I suggested I used Rosie's eggs instead. But ... But after having this child it may be impossible for you to carry another baby. the IVF wouldn't work on you again. You have a case of OHSS. An ovarian hyper stimulation syndrome that would make it hard for you to carry the baby.."
"So you and my husband knew this was my only chance of carrying my own child and you made me carry someone else's baby?" It took a lot of strength to hold myself from crying in front of him. What if that ten percent chance that my eggs were good could have been effective? Just what if?
"I am sorry alpha. But Stephen and made me a lot of offers that I couldn't resist. Forgive me."
"Now I am going to make you a better offer." He looks up at me as I say that. "I am going to offer you a life rather than take it. Because that is what I want to do right now. I will give you just a week to get your things and get our of my pack. And if Stephen ever finds out that I know about his little secret, I would know that no one else told him but you. Then I would have to kill you and I wouldn't hesitate to snap the life out of you. Is that clear?"
"Yes!" He nods. "Yes, alpha!"
After leaving his house. I stopped at another pharmacy store. "I need the most effective abortion pills that you have."
When I got home, I stood before the mirror, staring at my image with the abaya in front of me. I could feel its unsettled movement as it was trying to settle down from the shock and discomfort it went through while I was kicking at the doctor. Now I was going to get rid of you. I clench the abortion pills in my fist.
"See you sure you want to do this?" My wolf asked as stood like a statue.
Of course I was sure. It was not too late to get rid of it.
Having told myself this, I throw the pills in my mouth and swallow!
