His eyes were on me, but he wasn't speaking.
     “Gerald?” I touched his hand. “You have something to tell me?”
     All he said was “I understand.”
     But I felt the need to speak out. Guilt was building up in me, filling me up like a cup that was ready to overflow with water. His consistent look at me couldn't let me have a moment of peace.
     “Actually… Andrea and Raguel… They tricked me into spending a private time with Amon.” It was hard for me to maintain my flow of words, and I took in breaths. “I didn't realize he would try to seduce me.”
     My hands were rubbing against each other, the sweat forming on my palms acted as lubricant.
     But Gerald's expression did not change. “That's not a big issue on ground.” He shook his head about three times. “You have something that belongs to Amon.”
     Something that belonged to Amon? What if he knew I was pregnant with Amon's child?

**************************************

Was it all about love or the mate bond?
     My lover, Amon, had left me for a girl he claimed was his fated mate, and I was torn apart, feeling like there was no life without him.
     In just a month, I met Gerald, the Alpha of another pack, and he turned out to be my mate. But then, I was pregnant with Amon’s child.
     I had decided to keep my pregnancy a secret because of the rule of my pack, and Amon was never aware of it. Gerald marked me without a hint of it, but things turned crazy when Amon showed up in secret, claiming he loved me.
     I was conflicted, but there was more to Gerald that I didn't know. Everyone around me was hinting vague things about him that they weren't certain of.
     Well, whatever it was, I was going to accept it as part of my fate.

Leah's Fate

"Things are already changing," Andrea said. "I want you to devise a means you can be close to Leah… She is too far away, and that ground isn't good either."

I had no answer to give to her, just staring at her to gauge her expression. Was it just fear or concern? It could be both, and her face perfectly portrayed them. Her dress was still intact, but her skin was sweating. Something must have happened that she wasn't saying, but I wasn't willing to ask about it.

"Leah is my friend, and I've always cared about her."

She went her fingers through my hair. "I've always known that. You have always been together."

I saw Roshan coming towards us, and she walked a few steps away from me.

"Think about that. She's the only one of my children I can keep an account of. She's the only one I truly know, no one else."

Roshan was sweating, gripping her by her wrist. "Let's go."
