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

He had his hands moving over my thighs as a way to make me let go of the grief that was starting to build up in me.

"It's unreasonable for your father to have made them go far from home," he said. "But he could have his own reasons."

"But what if they aren't as far off as you think?"

I fixed my eyes directly at him. What was it with him saying 'what if they aren't far off'? That could raise so many questions in my mind, but would only be leading me against a brick wall. I couldn't think of that possibility, but he was bringing it to light.

He left the bed, not going straight into the topic as I wanted him to. I waited for him to say something more into it, but he seemed to regret hunting at that.

"You know something that I don't?"

"It's not about knowing what you don't know. All Alphas always make investigations."

What if they aren't as far off as you think?
