Untamed: The Alpha

Chapter 417

417 I AM PREGNANT (2)

“I am pregnant with your child,” Jasmine repeated her words.

“A child? My child?” Darius narrowed his eyes and watched how Jasmine nodded firmly, as she walked past him across his room before sitting down on the edge of the bed. The same bed they made love on a few weeks ago.

The image of what happened at that time was still clear in his head.

“Yes, it is your child.” Jasmine fixed her eyes on him and could see how Darius was struggling to process this information.

She backed down from Ariana’s offer at the last minute when she thought it was best to get rid of this child as she didn’t think that it was an option she wanted to decide on alone. Therefore, she decided to wait until the situation settled before she talked to him.

But, she couldn’t wait any longer than this, because Liam would figure this out eventually.

“My child?” Darius narrowed his eyes and then closed them. He felt like his head would explode at a certain point. “How do you know that’s my child?”

That was his main concern right now. He knew, realized it wholly, that what they two had been doing was a mistake, but he didn’t regret it, because he liked her company and every time he touched her, he felt like he was mocking the alpha at the same time.

It was a strange feeling, it was a weird situation for both of them, yet there was no regret or pressure from both of them, as they knew what they were doing.

.....

“We have done it a lot, remember?” Jasmine said bluntly. It could be said she had done it more with Darius those few days than she had done it with Liam this whole year.

And when Darius opened his eyes, he saw how Jasmine caressed the sheet bed, as if she were reminiscing about what happened there a few weeks ago. This made Darius clench his jaw tightly.

“The alpha just came and don’t tell me that you didn’t do it with him after he came back.” He could see what Liam had done to her and the way he looked at him when he found out he was in his bedroom, alone with his mate, was anything but calm.

The next thing that happened between them was something that didn’t need confirmation.

“Yes, he forced himself on me again,” Jasmine replied honestly. “But, my pregnancy is already five weeks along now. Do you think he was here five weeks ago?” Jasmine then added before Darius asked the next question. “I have Ariana confirm it. I met her a few days ago.”

Darius’ eyes widened when he heard that. “You met her? She knew?”

“Yes, she knew,” Jasmine confirmed that.

“How can you let her know that?” Darius didn’t understand what was in Jasmine’s mind when she went to her, knowing she was one of the alpha’s people.

If she knew that the baby was his, then the alpha would know about this as well.

Darius just wanted to ruin the alpha by messing with his mate, but of course, not in a million years would he mess with his own child’s life.

Once the alpha knew, he would kill the baby.

Who would want to raise another man’s baby? Let alone when it was the leader of the biggest pack of werewolves in this realm they were talking about?!

“She told me to go through an abortion,” Jasmine said and then told him everything she needed to come clean at this point. “I backed down at the last minute, because I thought you need to have a say in this.”

Hearing that, Darius wiped his face roughly. He gritted his teeth. “I wish you just went through that and didn’t say anything to me,” he said in a cold and bleak tone, as his whole body trembled.

He felt like his whole world crumbled around his feet. He didn’t think he would be able to survive this no matter what. There was only a dark tunnel right before his eyes.

On the other hand, seeing how Darius was starting to fall apart upon hearing this news made Jasmine nod curtly, as she stood up.

“At least you know,” she said curtly, as she proceeded to walk toward the door.

However, when she walked past him, Darius pulled her into his arms and then crushed her to his chest. He held her so tight and almost made her think he would strangle her, until she noticed the way he whispered into her ear.

“Is it possible?” he asked, his voice shaking.

Jasmine stopped fighting back and listened to him. “What is possible?” she asked carefully, while hugging him in return.

Darius sighed deeply, he struggled with his words, but when he finally found his voice again, it was laced with fear. “Is it possible for the baby to survive all this?” he asked.

He meant what he said. It was foolish of him to blame Jasmine for what happened and not feel grateful that she chose to ask him first.

If Jasmine didn’t say anything and went through with the procedure, he would lose the last blood relative he had.

“Is it possible for the baby to survive this?” Darius asked again, as he buried his face in the crook of her neck, breathing in her scent.

“We can leave from here,” Jasmine suggested. She couldn’t escape this place if she was alone, but if she was with Darius, she would have a high chance of survival, right?

Once she was out there, Darius could have their child and she would return to her place.

“No, we can’t leave from here together,” Darius conveyed the brutal truth that she needed to hear. “We can’t survive out there with the alpha’s warriors chasing after us.”

Jasmine pushed him away from her so hard, as she glared at him. She told him about this pregnancy not to hear this.
