NovelEnglishChapter 0503 "If that is what is worrying you, then don't let it." "I didn't know that." "It's not common knowledge, he doesn't like to talk about it. Not because he is ashamed of it, he just doesn't think it stops him being any less of the strong alpha that he is. And he's right, it doesn't." Dad was right, this doesn't change how I see Hector, how powerful he is. How the shifter community would see him if they knew.
I don't miss the way Dad's eyes move back to the hole in the wall, before they return to me...questionably.
"We can keep the pregnancy hushed if that is what you want but you have nothing to be ashamed of darling, we love you no matter what, and we will love and protect this baby as one of us." Mum adds, her hands moving to my shoulders where she places a kiss on the side of my cheek.
"No matter what." My voice is barely a whisper, if only my child being half human was the issue. If only it were that simple. But when they learn the truth, that I have been lying all along... will they be this supportive. "No matter what." "Thanks Mum, thanks Dad." "Any time." We share a moment, a quiet embrace just the three of us which I am the first to break out off when Dad mentions the Dark Phantom pack.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMy ears perk up, keen to hear what he has to say.
"We've been invited over to stay the night tomorrow, apparently they are having an important dinner that they want us present for." Dad informs us.
"All of us?" I swallow hard, he wouldn't have done. My threat was clear, that I would leave if he did tell a soul. "Yes, Hector was quite insistent that it was all four of us." "I wonder what the dinner could be about." Mum asks out, straightening the corner of my bed sheet. She always likes to keep her hands and mind busy. This was Jaxon's doing, it had to be.
"You three go, I'm not ready for others to know just yet." "It would look suspicious if you didn't come. We don't have to mention anything, they won't need to know you are pregnant." How easy was it for Jaxon to identify that was pregnant, and then for him to be able to smell that the child was his brother's. He'll qutin in front of the entire dinner party if he hasn't done so already. This could be a plot to getto admit it in person to Jace.
I know he will, that's his plan. To backin to a corner where I can't deny that Jace is the father.
"They are our friends Cleo, they will be supportive, they will be happy for you." Happy? To find out that their son has found his mate but across the dinner table is a female he has impreginated after a one night stand.
I don't think so.
"I'm not even full term yet." I say, trying to find another reason not to go.
"You not being there says more than you going." Dad states with a political mindset. Annoyingly he was right, my absence would open up far more questions rather thanbeing there.
"What is it? Why don't you want to go?" Mum tilts her head at me, concern within her eyes.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI have no choice, I have no reasonable excuse not to go.
I'm not showing, and as long as Jaxon keeps his opinions to himself I then I might just survive this dinner party. Maybe this would be the moment I
told Jace, for the sake of our child. I needed to do better, what if this wasto the platform forto make that first step. No matter how muck fear doing it, I know I have to do it. Jaxon's plot is to cornerbut he doesn't know the lengths I will go to for my child.
Yes, I need to tell him...no more lies.
No more hiding. He was apart of this, this child is also his.
