POV A deep breath passed through my lips as a sense of calm washed over me when Nova arrived just in time to rescue me.

Nova ran towards me with a panicked look in her eyes. She lifted me up by my arms, slowly helping me to get my feet on the ground.

Killian forced himself off the ground, his lips slightly stretching downwards as he winced in pain.

“What happened?” Nova asked me in worry.

I was hyperventilating, so I failed to answer her. I just kept clutching my heart, the place where all the pain was coming. from.

Nova’s eyes widened when the realization hit her. “H–He,” Noval paused, unable to complete her sentence.

Anger flashed in her eyes, knowing that what Killian just did. was enough to kill me. With my weak wolf and the life inside of me, I’m not strong enough to handle the rejection.

“Astrid!” Drystan suddenly appeared and ran towards me when he saw my state.

He immediately carried my weight to help Nova, who had been struggling to keep me up.

Still, I couldn’t speak. My lips quivered, and tears streamed down my face as my weak wolf whimpered and curled in pain.

She’s not able to handle most of the pain on her own, making me feel most of it.

hardened and the soft lines around his tightened when saw me getting tortured “Quick! Bring her to the hospital and call all the Pack Doctors to check on her,” Drystan commanded Nova with a blank voice.

Nova quickly nodded her head and placed my arm around her shoulder to help lift me up.

“Astrid, we’re not done yet!” Killian yelled out loud when he saw Nova taking me away from him.

Drystan strode towards Killian without saying a word and punched him in the face. Blood spurted out of his split lip, but Drystan didn’t stop there. He lifted Killian by his collar and tightened his fists.

I stopped Nova from taking me away when I saw what Drystan did. I wanted to yell at him to stop, but I didn’t have enough strength to do so.

“Don’t go anywhere near Astrid. Do you understand?! This is the last time that you’re going to hurt her, or else I swear I’m going to kill you!” Drystan yelled in his face.

Killian stared into Drystan’s hard gaze like an asshole.

unbothered by his words.

“Why are you getting yourself involved in this, huh? You ruined everything! If you hadn’t faked Astrid’s death, I would have fixed our relationship. Now step out of the way and let me talk to Astrid!” Killian commanded.

Drystan lost control of himself when he heard his absurd words; he punched him again in the face, giving him a black eye. “You want to get yourself killed?!”

“Stop! Stop! Please, stop!” A woman’s voice sliced through the commotion When Drystan looked up his lips thinned when he saw Giselle rush to Killian’s side, her belly as big as a watermelon.

“K–Killian. Oh no!” Giselle exclaimed in worry when she saw Killian’s face. “Drystan, please let him go,” Giselle pleaded with her eyes filled with worry.

Drystan clenched his jaw, and with strong self–control, he finally pushed Killian away from him, making him stumble backward.

Giselle rushed to Killian’s side and held him by his shoulder to help him. “Killian, are you alright? Giselle asked him worriedly.

She lifted her finger to touch Killian’s face and take a better look at his injuries, but Killian moved his face away like he was burnt by her touch.

“Leave this instant!” Drystan spoke darkly. “Take your husband away from here. I don’t want to see him ever again,”

Giselle glanced at Drystan when he spoke and softly nodded her head. “Killian, let’s just leave, Giselle whispered to him.

Hearing this, Drystan turned around to leave, thinking that Giselle would be able to convince Killian to leave his Pack Just as Drystan had turned his back on them, Killian spoke again, “I’m not going to leave without Astrid!”

Drystan stopped in his tracks; before he could respond to Drystan’s words, though, he was shocked when he saw me and Nova still standing where he had left +15 can’t hide Astrid away from me Killian shouted before forward.

“Killian ” Caught in surprise, Giselle tried to stop him, but Killian was too fast.

Just as Killian was about to grab my arm to steal me away from them, Drystan managed to hold him back, causing Killian to grab my coat instead.

Drystan pushed Killian to the ground with my coat still in his hand Without my coat, my pregnant belly is exposed Killian’s eyes widened as he stared at my belly, poking forward just like Giselle’s.

“Y–You’re pregnant…” Killian stammered as he looked at me with disbelief in his eyes.

Even though I was weak and in pain, fear still coursed through me, knowing what this would cost me. My pregnancy is supposed to be a secret. I don’t want Killian to know I’m pregnant with his child in fear that he’s going to take my baby from me.

Killian’s gaze went back and forth between Drystan and me until he suddenly scoffed.

“Is this why you wanted to divorce me? Is why you even went too far and faked her death?” Killian scoffed bitterly.

I felt confused. I wasn’t expecting this kind of reaction from him. I’ve imagined many possible reactions from him, but none of them went like this.
