Once an alpha's heir

Shit, I had been so excited about finally seeing Adam again. I packed everything and arrived two days early. Just to find out how my mate had exactly been enjoying his time, The evidence hit me like a brick wall. Honestly, I should have seen something coming. He had seemed a bit distant for the last few months but I thought he was just tired from the late nights at the office. After all, it was his idea for me to leave Essex and move into London with him as it was. Closer to his pack and family even though leaving my pack's burial grounds killed me but I still left for him. Especially since I had a positive test a few weeks ago and the excitement was bubbling from me since I hadn't been able to reach him. We had always wanted a family but he hadn't wanted to mate Mark until we had moved into the packhouse.

Right now, all I can do is grab his bedroom door frame and slam my hand over my mouth to stop the sobs leaving my throat as the tears roll down my face. The brunette is the first to move rolling off Adam's body.

His black is tousled and scratch marks over his tattooed chest. His eyes were still hooded with lust and a hickey on his shoulder and his erection was painfully obvious. The brunette quick launching at me with superhuman-like speed grabbing my head and pulling me backwards against her naked body before I even registered what was happening she had a knife to my throat.

My stomach plummets to the floor. "Fuck,"

How has wanting to surprise my mate with the fact I'm pregnant deteriorated to being held at knifepoint by a woman?

“Please,” I rasp “Put down the knife."

She hisses through her teeth at me in response pushing the knife deeper against my skin.

" Eliza, knife down. now,” Adam growled at her his voice sounding feral and animalistic. Eliza? As in The Eliza that's married to Damian, his brother?

I remember seeing them once on the day id met Adam. I attended a small banquet for charity last year and had only been a passing glance.

"You don't want to kill my merchandise after all. " Adam smirks at me his sweet almond smell making the bile rise in my stomach, merchandise? Is that what I am to him? Some product?

He looks and me his eyes turning cold and hardened "Why?" The tears streamed down my face everything in the last year had been a lie and id loved a man who had been nothing more than an act.

"Why, it's simple." He says locking his eyes with me as he strolled across the room. " You are worthless with nothing to offer No one has ever wanted you apart from that pitiful pack of yours that got slaughtered, but you do have a slight allure of being a female alpha, do you know how many alphas would pay for merchandise like you? You are going for top dollar and you're going to make me rich. "

I squeeze my hand into a ball and dig my nails into my palms to keep from crying like a baby.

" Did you think I didn't know about that mistake growing in your stomach? " His face contours into an ugly smirk.

"We could dispose of it quick,” Eliza says voice so deep it sounds like a growl. “That way, she won’t go down in value,"

My head screamed at me to run sending my adrenaline into overdrive. I elbow. Eliza got away with a small cut along my chin as I pivot and sprint down the hallway. Fuck why couldn't Adam have lived in a small flat like me? I wasn't used to a house this size the stupid thing was bigger than my Apartment Complex. my hand slips over the cold metal of the bannister as my shoes squeak at the stairs. Just as my hand reaches for the Door handle I fill my body being tugged back by the Sharp Sensation.

“ Eliza, I told you to leave her” Adam bellows, making the fine hairs on the back of my head stand on end. Terror quickens my pulse. Did I just get stabbed?

I stumble on my feet fall onto my knees a try and shove aside my mounting panic as I try and focus on getting out I can see Elise pulling away from me and going towards Adam and I fumble for my car keys my fingers closing around the cold metal fumble for my car keys. My fingers close around the cold metal, I pushed to my knees then my feet and I reach for the door handle again when I feel something hard and heavy slam into my body pinning my back against the door a shock wave of pain explodes and my body radiate him from the wound of my back and all the breath leaves my lungs in a grunt he has his hand wrapped tightly around my neck He glares down at me, his eyes arctic. “Where do you think you’re going?” The force of his cold rage freezes me to the spot. I’m trapped in his icy stare.

“Let me go,” I stutter. “you know I can't do that” he growls. Tears prick the backs of my eyes.

I’m not delusional or weak, It should be me who’s furious—not him. Frustration and rage mingle with my terror, making me swallow back a surge of nausea. Up until now, he was so focused on building our future. Adam never showed any interest in other women apart from me he scented me out, and he said we were mates. I can see the cogs turning behind his eyes and then something I’m not quite sure of clicks into place

Everything about this man screams deception. His touch burns my skin like hot knives, and his words infuse my wounds with salt. I pull at my arms, trying to loosen his grip, but he’s too strong.

"This will make the pain fade.sleep well little alpha."
