He stood in the door, not caring he was almost naked. “I got everything ready with your info. When you come to my office, I’ll play a real ultrasound video, making it look like yours. Your Alpha will believe it all.” He smiled. “But you should get pregnant soon. Or lose this fake baby after the mating ceremony.”
“I’ll do that part.”
“My money.” He held out his hand.
I used my phone to send him the money, then showed him it went through. When I tried to leave, he grabbed my wrist.
“So,” he said quietly, “want help getting pregnant?”
“What do you mean?” I knew what he meant, but wanted him to say it.
“Oh, you know what I mean, darling.”
Before I could answer, he pulled me in and shut the door. He kissed me hard right away. I got interested, not because I liked him but because this could help me. If Draven would touch me, maybe this would fix my problem.
Dr. Vale’s hands moved all over, going under my shirt and taking off my bra.He pushed me to the couch, breathing hard on my neck.
“You’re beautiful,” he said, pushing my skirt up. His fingers pulled down my nice underwear. “Been wanting this since you first called me.”
I moved closer to him without meaning to. No one had touched me like this in weeks. Draven kept saying no when I tried, and I was getting really mad about it.
Dr. Vale wasn’t nice or caring. He went inside me hard after barely getting me wet, looking happy while my body got used to him.
“God, you feel so good,” he said, thrusting fast and not caring about me.
He wasn’t lying about being fast. In minutes, he groaned and collapsed beside me before rolling away. I hadn’t even gotten close to enjoying it, but that wasn’t the point.
“That should work,” he said proudly, like he’d done something great. “If you’re ovulating, you’re probably pregnant.”
I fixed my clothes, feeling used but okay with it. “I want everything ready for next week.”
“It will be. Your Alpha won’t know anything.”
After leaving Dr. Vale’s place, I spent all afternoon at Harborview Mall, buying fancy clothes with Daddy’s money.
By night, I got a text from Bruno, a wolf from another pack who really liked me.
“Party at my house tonight. Please come.”
Bruno was stupid in love with me. Since I made up that story about sleeping with Draven, I’d been using Bruno to try to get pregnant. Another test this morning said no, but maybe today would change that.
I wrote back, “Be ready. Your room too.”
When I got to Bruno’s house, the party was big. He saw me right away, looking super happy to see me.
“Ella! You look so good,” he said fast, running to give me a drink. “I didn’t know if you’d come.”
I gave him my nicest smile, the one I use to get things. “I came to see you. Let’s go somewhere quiet.”
I didn’t want pack wolves seeing me here. They would tell Draven, and while I kind of wanted to make him jealous, I couldn’t mess up my plan.
“Really?” His eyes got big, and he almost pulled me to his room. “God, I missed you.”
Inside, I locked the door and pulled him close. My wolf hated his touch, he wasn’t our mate, but I made her be quiet. We had to do this.
We stayed in his bed for hours, Bruno touching me while I acted like I liked it. He was bad at sex, too excited but didn’t know what to do, but his love made him useful. I’d had my first time with him years ago, before I wanted to be Luna, and he never gave me an orgasm. Not once.
Actually, I’d never had an orgasm with anyone. I knew only Draven could do that.
When Bruno finally went to sleep next to me, his arm tight around my waist, I got out and got my clothes. It wasn’t morning yet, but I had to leave. I called a car and went home to clean up and sleep.
As the car drove through the quiet streets, I put my hand on my stomach. Soon, I would have Draven’s baby, even if he didn’t know how it happened.
All the bad things I did for love were worth it. Draven would be mine, no matter what.
Caroline’s POV
I had a quiet weekend. Jax sent countless messages apologizing for not being able to see me, as he had several pack emergencies to handle. As Alpha of the Crescent Moon Pack, which was smaller than Storm Valley, he had duties that couldn’t wait.
“I’m so sorry, Carrie,” his text read Sunday morning.”Rogue sightings along our border. Dad needs my help coordinating patrols with neighboring packs. Rain check on our coffee date?”
I understood his obligations, but couldn’t help feeling a little disappointed.
Clara spent Sunday with us and spoiled Liam all day long. She got him a gift from London, and he loved it, a toy building set that made Buckingham Palace, with a small mat showing the streets and a red double-decker bus. Everything was bright, and the bus could move and light up.
“Clara, how am I supposed to compete with that?”Eleanor said with a smile, watching Liam laugh happily as he put together and took apart the blocks.
Clara gave me lots of advice about both Jax and Draven. She’d only been gone a few weeks, but somehow knew my problems better than I did.
“You know, Caroline,” she said while Liam was napping, “the bond between mates is stronger than any human relationship. I’ve seen how Draven looks at you, even if he doesn’t know it yet.”
“But I can’t be his mate,” I whispered. “I don’t have a scent he can recognize.”
Clara’s eyes softened. “Not all bonds are formed through scent alone.”
She counseled me to take things slow with Jax, suggesting that my situation with Draven might still work out. I assured her that Jax was just a friend, and although he clearly wanted something more, my love for Draven was deeply rooted in my heart. But I couldn’t put my life on hold and simply wait for the day when, maybe, possibly, Draven would be free for me.
“The mating ceremony is in three months,” Clara reminded me gently. “I’ve seen enough of these political matings to know they rarely bring happiness. Just… don’t close any doors yet.”
After that, the week flew by. Jax sent me messages every day but had to make a last-minute trip to California to handle some business at his father’s company. He apologized profusely for having to cancel our plans again, promising to bring me a special gift when he returned.
“I’ll make it up to you,” his message read. “There’s this little spot by the lake where the moonlight hits just right. Perfect for a late dinner under the stars. My wolf’s going crazy not seeing you.”
The following Monday,Clara went back to London earlier than we wanted, making us miss her already. Eleanor and I wanted to take her to the airport, but she said Draven had already said he’d drive her before going to work.
“He’s trying, Caroline,” she told me as we hugged goodbye. “He may not show it, but he’s fighting an internal battle every day. “
