Pregnant For My Ex-Mate Father

Chapter 3

Vivienne's POV

I fluttered my eyes open, taking my eyes to my surroundings. For a brief moment, I had no idea where I was. My head was aching, and my memories were jumbled. Then I felt a presence beside me. Sluggishly, I turned, and my eyes widened in shock. I darted my eyes around, and it was then the memories came to me. I had chosen to sleep with the Alpha of the pack. Without thinking, I left the bed, quickly covering myself up with my clothes that were scattered on the floor. Luckily, Alpha Tristan was still asleep, so I had my chance.

Once I was fully dressed, I left the room, arranging my clothes and trying to calm my raging hair. The sun was not fully out, so not many people would see me leaving. I had to follow the gate because I did not want anyone to know I knew it. I noticed the stares and glances of people, but I tried as much as possible to ignore them. When I successfully stepped out of the pack house, I heaved a sigh of relief. I was finally out of there. I knew Alpha Tristan would remember me being crazy last night. Just the thought of it scared me.

I hurried home and into my room, shutting the door quickly behind me. I rested my back on the door for some time, then rushed into the bathroom to clean up. As I took my bath, I remembered Alpha Tristan's touch and kisses. I shut my eyes, reliving that moment. I was slowly drowning, and a light moan escaped from my lips. Almost immediately, I was snapped out of it. I should not let him get in my head. It was a onetime thing, and I did not plan to do it again.

I doubted I would have the boldness to carry it out. I sighed, stepping out of the shower wrapped in my towel. My phone buzzed. I glanced at the lit screen. It was Ruby.

'If you are alive, meet me at the diner.’ the message read.

minutes, I was out of the house. I was glad I did not run into any of my supposed family members. They all made me hate being at home or interacting with them. They all turned against me and always wanted to make me feel small. What hurt most was the fact that my father backed my stepmother and step-sister in their wicked ways. Not once did he ever support or try to tell them to get off my back, instead he encouraged them. Sometimes it felt like it gave him some kind of joy to see me suffer.

I begged for his forgiveness if there was any way I had made him angry, but he told me I was the one who killed my mother. I have asked him to explain what he meant, but he always got angry with me. I was an outcast in my home, and I was tired of trying to get them to speak to me like I was part of the family. With every opportunity, I get to leave the house; I do so because it was better to be outside than in the hellhole of a home.

When I got to the diner, I spotted Ruby and walked over to her. The moment she spotted me, she wrapped her arms around me.

“Oh, you are not dead.” she said with concern, and I could not help but smile at that.

She pulled away, and we took a seat.

“Of course not. Why do you think I'll be dead, anyway?” I asked, even though I understood.

She gave me a look. “Alpha Tristan, of course. The Alpha of Bloodstone pack. You know how he is with women and most, especially women that try to do what you tried to do yesterday.” She leaned forward, glancing around suspiciously. “Word says, he even killed someone who tried”

I laughed hard at this.

“I'm not joking.” she said and I shook my head.

“It's just a rumor, Ruby and I did it.” I said, and her socket almost fell out of the holes.

“You…” she paused, and I nodded. “You slept with the Al-” she stood up, and I covered her mouth then pulled her down before she told the entire diner my secret.

“Don't announce it.” I said.

“Sorry,” came her muffled apology before I let go of her arm and mouth

"Are you serious?” she asked, and I nodded with a hum.

“How? How is that possible?” she asked, and I shrugged.

"I don't know. All I know is he didn't try to kill me.” I told her.

"You are one lucky girl. So tell me how it was.” Ruby sat up to listen.

“I can't tell clearly because I was drunk, but…” I paused. Now that I thought about it, he did not chase me away. He was inviting. “I don't know if it is just in my head, but I think he wanted to do it with me.” I sighed and shook my head.

I trailed the conversation out of that. I didn't want to overthink anything. What if it was only in my head? The Alpha would not want it. It was not possible. We both talked about different things before I headed back home.

Weeks after my act of revenge, I was continually thinking about it. The gentle nature of Alpha Tristan was stuck in my mind and refused to leave. Another thing I did was stay in my room. I always heard commotion downstairs, but I never cared to pry. I wanted to avoid everyone. Ava, Scott and, most especially, Alpha Tristan. Alpha Tristan had not looked for me, which was good and bad at the same time.

Good, because it meant he was not planning on killing me and bad because I thought I could use him for revenge, but each time I thought about pushing it further, I was stopped by fright. I have continually prayed to the Moon goddess for some rest from those thoughts and I don't know if this was a form of my prayer being answered, but I feel sick. I have taken drugs to make myself feel better, but I feel sicker.

It could also be because I have not moved much, but I do not have the energy for that now either. I was lying on my bed, trying to get some rest if that might magically work. My phone rang, and I sluggishly picked up.

“Hey Ruby.” my voice was groggy.

“Um, what happened to you?” she sounded worried.

I sighed. “I feel off.” I said.

“How long? Visited a hospital?” she questioned.

“No. I'm sure it's nothing.” I said. It was not anything serious, I was sure of that.

Ruby was quiet for some time. “I’ll believe you when I see you.” she said.

I tried arguing with her to stay home, but Ruby was not having it.

“Fine,” I said, slowly getting up.

“Our favorite diner in ten minutes.” she told me.

I forced myself to get out of bed and out of the house. I could not even have anything. I felt like vomiting at the sight of the coffee.

“Are you sure you are okay?” Ruby asked.

I sighed. “I told you I should have stayed home.”

“Why don't we visit a hospital to be sure it's nothing big?” Ruby suggested, but I did not want to visit the hospital, so I turned that down.

I eventually headed home to lie down again. The moment I stepped into the premises, I noticed the array of cars that were scattered around. This was not the first time I had seen these cars before. They were from the pack house.

I spotted the guards taking wrapped gifts into the house. It must be Scott. He was trying to make known his relationship with Ava. He was trying to rub it in my face. It hurt so much to see him do this. He was meant to do this for us, but now it was all going to Ava. He broke my heart. He was mocking me. I balled my fists in anger. I would never let them see me hurt. I will never make them feel like they could hurt me. Never.

I lifted my chin and walked into the house. As expected, the house was filled with so many gifts and more were being brought in. Dad, my stepmother, and Ava were at the side with Ava smiling so brightly as she watched the guards bring the gifts in. I walked in the direction of the stairs because I did not want to partake in that.

“Vivienne, didn't you see us here?” My stepmother spoke.

“I don't feel so good.” I said even though it was not the main reason.

“Come here and be happy for your sister.” my father spoke next.

I sighed and walked over to where they stood. Though I stayed a good distance away from them. After five minutes, the guards were done and the head of them walked over to me and handed over an envelope. I glanced at Ava, whose smile had dropped.

“The Alpha seeks your presence.” the guard informed me.
