Selena’s POV
“Zane!” Linda cried the moment Zane
picked the call. Zane tensed immediately and shot to his feet in alarm.
“What’s going on, Lin? Are you okay?” He asked frantically.
Linda sobbed harder, refusing to say anything. Zane was getting more panicked.
“Tell me, Lin! What’s going on? Is it the baby?” He asked, seriously worried.
She sniffed. “I don‘ t know, but I feel so dizzy, and my head hurts so much, Zane.”
“Hold on, I’m coming to get you.” He announced, rushing to grab one of his
coats.
“No! You can’t come yet, today is Linda‘ s ovulation. You need to stay and try for a-”

Zane snorted “Oh please, it’s not like she’s going to get pregnant miraculously this one time.” He mocked. “You‘ re the one pregnant, and you need to be taken care of. That’s all that matters.”
When the call was disconnected, Zane turned to me with a glare. “Can you see how Linda is concerned about you? She was ready to risk her life and the life of her baby just for you. Stop being so insecure. and jealous.” He scolded with a frown on his face.
“I’m going over to her place to make sure she’s fine and take her to the pack
clinic if the needs arise.
He walked to the door, about leaving when I called him back with a sigh
“Zane, hold on.”
He whirled around, his eyes blazing with anger. “Selena, what is it?! I am tired of your constant jealousy and pettiness! I have somewhere important to be” He

I didn’t react to his harsh words. Instead, I pointed to one of his coats that hung on the clothes rack. “Your car key is still in that coat.” I informed him.
Zane blinked in surprise, clearly not. expecting it. Then he nodded and walked. to the coat to take the key from it. “Thank you, Selena,” he finally said with a small smile. I didn’t respond.
“I love you, and I’ll see you later, Selena,” Zane said softly, walking back to place a soft kiss on my forehead.
“I won’t take long, I promise.” He swore, looking sincere.
Immediately Zane left, several thoughts raced through my mind. I was fed up, and I was done enduring it. But I knew that I couldn’t rush into any decision too quickly, I had to put things in place first.
I began making calls. First, I called a friend of mine in the Healer‘ s Circle, Jason.

“Hey Jason.” I greeted with a small smile.
I could hear the smile in his voice as he
replied. “Selena, what a pleasant surprise!” he exclaimed.
After all the pleasantries, I went straight to the point. “I accept your offer to work att the Healer’s Circle.”
He inhaled sharply in disbelief. The Healers Circle was the largest institution. of Healers in the supernatural world. They had approached me several times because of my skill in herbal medicine, but Zane had refused me from joining because he had wanted me to focus on giving him a child. But now, I needed to make sure I wasn’t completely helpless. This was just the first step, I had other preparations to
make.
By the time I finished with the preparations, it was already midnight. Yet, Zane hadn’t come back from Linda‘ s place. I opened Linda‘ s status, she had added another picture.

It was a picture of a shirtless Zane asleep on her bed, with his mouth slightly opened, and his chest completely bare. The caption this time was: ‘Have you seen a hot Alpha like this? And he’s all mine!‘
I replied to her status with a ‘thumbs up‘ emoji again, and immediately, she deleted the image.
When I saw that she was about to reply, probably to tell me another crap, I quickly blocked her. I was done with both of them. I had a future to plan for.
