Chapter 8

I looked around. All the other staff at the inn were busy.

I was the only one free.

I cursed silently under my breath but still picked up the menu and handed it to them.

Kaelen saw my flat belly. His brow furrowed uncontrollably. That Alpha possessiveness flared up instantly.

"Seraphina, do you even remember you’re pregnant? What’s with the binding sash all the time?"

I threw the menu down without looking at him.

Seeing me silent, he quickly grabbed my wrist, preventing me from leaving. His grip was so strong it almost crushed my bones. That familiar Alpha scent, which once made me feel safe, now made me feel suffocated.

"Sir, I don’t know you. Please don’t harass me."

My cold words enraged him. He cursed, losing his temper.

"Do you have any idea what you’re doing?! You’re almost five months pregnant, and you’re still using a binding sash?! Do you want the pup to die?!"

"I’ve never seen a mother as heartless as you!"

I forcefully shook off his hand, my tone impatient.
