Chapter 1
Selena‘ s POV
I stared in shock at the picture on my phone. My mate, Alpha Zane, was kneeling on the ground, kissing Linda‘ s baby bump affectionately. The caption was: ~He is going to be a good father.-
I didn’t even know why I was shocked; from everything that had been happening recently, this wasn‘ t supposed to surprise me. I replied to the status with a thumbs up‘ emoji.
I opened the next picture. Zane stood. behind her, wrapping his hand around her swollen belly protectively with a large grin on his face, looking so happy and content.
I glanced at the pregnancy report that lay on the bed beside me. I had gone to the pack clinic for a test when I started feeling odd, and it was confirmed that I was pregnant. After several years of trying, of

being childless, I was finally pregnant. I had been so excited to share the news with Zane. I had been calling his number, and it kept ringing, but he wasn‘ t picking. So I decided to wait for him to get back.
I was not a social media person; I hardly opened my WhatsApp or Facebook. However, as I waited for Zane, I absentmindedly opened WhatsApp and mindlessly scrolled around. I furrowed my eyebrows in curiosity and I clicked on Linda‘ s WhatsApp status to get a very big shock.
The moment Linda saw my reply on her WhatsApp status, she panicked and called me. It was a well known fact that I never opened my WhatsApp, so my reply was totally unexpected.
“Hello Luna Selena, I’m very sorry about the picture. It meant nothing, I was just-” She started, but Zane interrupted, taking the phone from her hands.

anything wrong? It’s just a picture. Stop paying attention to her jealousy. She can’t get pregnant, so she’s just getting insecure” He said to Linda, not minding that I was on the phone, and that I could hear him. I hadn‘ t even said anything to Linda, she was the one who called.
“Stop blowing my phone up with calls, I’ll be back tonight.” He spat at me, and disconnected the call abruptly before I could say anything.
I stared at the phone in my hand dumbfounded. This was getting out of

A year ago, Linda came to me, crying and pleading for help. She had just lost her parents and now she had no one to help. her. My heart had melted in sympathy, and I supported her by giving her a place to stay, food and other necessary things she would need.
Zane had been preoccupied with pack matters that time, but Linda’s presence

had attracted his attention. He had taken interest in her recovery, always checking on her, and always making sure she had anything she needed.
At first, I had assumed that it was because of his role as Alpha to protect all pack members, but it kept getting worse. Zane constantly blew me off to spend time with her, claiming that he was trying to be there
for her.
I opened her status again to see that she had added more pictures of the two of them together. In one of the pictures, Zane was carrying Linda in his arms with a broad smile that I hadn’t seen in years. The caption read: ~My Alpha, my hero.~
Determination settled in my mind as I switched off my phone. I threw away all the potions and herbs that the pack healers. had given us when I couldn’t get pregnant. Then I headed back to the pack clinic to get an abortion.
