NovelEnglishChapter 0489 - Cleo - The pregnancy is playing havoc with my senses because not only did I not pick up on him being close by, but I can't even smell him.
"Jace? What...what are you doing here. And what are you wearing?" My hand moves to my chest where I can feel my heart pounding. "Shh...I didn't want to be recognised." Something wasn't right, he was searching the area around us to make sure we were alone. Why can't he be recognised, and why was he even here.
"Why? What's going on?" ""Is it true?" "Is what true?" "Jaxon...he told me." My blood runs cold as it becomes clear why he is here. Any excitement I may have felt quickly dying.
I take him in, his entire body was covered in black. Except for his eyes and lips.
Why he is dressed like he is doing a reconnaissance mission.

The blood that was running cold had just frozen over, my entire body feeling like ice.
"You have it wrong." "Cleo." His hands griptighter, but it felt wrong... it felt wrong for him to touch me, even just a little, right now.
He was an alpha, he was a predator. He wouldn't hurtI know that, but I was lying to him...maybe he could pick up on that, I don't know, all I know is I need to keepand my bump safe. "Get off me." I push back, trying to bridge skind of gap between us.
He was too close, the air I was breathing was his. Already used air...it was makingdizzy...I needed space.
He backs away, his hands raising into a surrender sign, his alpha built frfinally givinga room to breathe. "Tellit isn't mine." His eyes hold mine, an intensity within them...he was too serious for my Jace. I was hurting him, but how much has he hurt me.
"It isn't yours. It's..." "Human? You know I won't fool for that bullshit. Jaxon toldeverything." His voice is low, animalistic...like a predator.
"No... he couldn't have done." I shake my head out, refusing to believe it.
No...surely he wouldn't....of course he has. The fact that Jace is here is proof.
I was spiralling I didn't have the tI thought I would have.
Jaxon had told him. Why did I ever think he wouldn't. This was his brother my child his own flesh and blood of course he would have told him. The Varon's look after O themselves first.
My hands cover my face, I can't look at him. I didn't tell him...someone else did.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShwashes over me, I had so many mixed emotions at the moment... the pregnancy hormones making everything even more confusing.
Maybe a small part ofhad hoped for the happy ending, the walking off into the sunset together, hand in hand with my baby bump.
That dream really has been slashed, really has gone. Now that another has told him, I am the female that has lied to him, that even tried to abort our own child.
I wasn't a bad person, but I felt like a monster. I bite down on my bottom lip, trying to control the sobs that are so desperate to escape.
"Hey...look at me...it's okay. I'm not angry...this is great news." His words surprise me, givehope. "It is?" "Of course it is." "But what about your mate?"
"Callie? I haven't told her." I watch him carefully, trying to decipher how he really feels about her. But with the balaclava still on, I can't pick up any of his expressions. "Then this isn't real until you have told her Jace." "I just need tto tell her, it's you I want to be with. I just need to tell her." "She's your fated mate Jace, you've said so yourself right?" "Yes but..."
"You can't deny the mate bond, and I can't fight it." This is painful but m amidst the soul destroying truth, I new haye a new strength. I know I will keep going because I have to. I have to keep going for the baby
"It's you I love, I've always loved you. Please Cleo...don't give up on me. Just givestime" He pleads, a desperate tone laced within his voice. "I've waited for you all of my life Jace. But you are not mine, and I need to protect our child."
