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

Sago sighed, snapping his fingers like something had just happened against Gerald and I. And I wouldn't deny the feeling of that. He turned backward to face the supposed spot I had come out from.

"I told Gerald," he said. "I told him things he was supposed to avoid, and told him things that have high value and importance to him, but maybe things might have their own way."

He went downwards, kneeling on the floor covered with snow. His tall figure made his sitting on the floor seem weird.

"What is it you told Gerald?" I asked.

"Lots of things that also involve you." He was rubbing his palms against his knee, looking up at me, probably reading through me, or using his mage's instinct on me.

That wouldn't have bothered me, the energy he gave off was far more calmer than Logan's, and it just happened that even though I had just met him, something made me believe I was safe being around him.
