CHAPTER 10 Pregnant

  LEAH'S POV

  I decided to summon the courage and call my sister Clara and explain my ordeal to her.

  My heart raced as I dialed her number. I needed someone to confide in, someone I could trust with my deepest secret.

  "Clara, it's me," my voice quivered as she answered.

  "What's wrong, Leah? You sound upset," Clara's concerned voice came through the line.

  Taking a deep breath, I mustered the courage to share my turmoil. "I... I broke the mate bond with Aiden. It didn't work out between us."

  "Oh no, Leah, I'm so sorry to hear that," Clara replied sympathetically. "Are you okay?"

  Tears welled up in my eyes as I admitted the next part of my revelation. "There's more, Clara. I'm pregnant."

  A stunned silence hung between us for a moment before Clara responded, "Pregnant? How did this happen?"
