Chapter 15: Pregnant?
(Olivia’s POV)
White. Everything was white.
The sterile walls of The Crimson Infirmary came into focus as consciousness slowly returned to me. My head throbbed, and my body felt like it had been trampled by an entire pack
*Olivia! Thank the Moon Goddess you’re awake!”
Dr. Aris Lowell’s familiar voice cut through the fog in my mind. She was sitting beside my bed, her usually composed face bright with excitement. Her hands trembled slightly as she reached for mine.
“Congratulations,” she said, her voice thick with emotion. “You’re pregnant! Finally, all your suffering has paid
off.”
The words hit me like lightning. My hand instinctively moved to my abdomen, fingers splaying protectively. over the flat surface. Tears of pure joy streamed down my face before I could stop them.
Pregnant. After five years of trying, of hoping, of enduring Theodore’s increasingly distant behavior. The dream I’d carried for so long had finally come true.
“Are you certain?” I whispered, my voice barely audible.
Absolutely certain. The blood tests confirm it.” Dr. Aris squeezed M

hand gently. “You’re about six weeks
Six weeks. I closed my eyes, calculating. This child had been conceived during one of our rare intimate moments, back when I still believed Theodore loved me. Back when I thought Clara was just a caregiver.
“Should I call Theodore with the good news?” Dr. Aris asked, already reaching for her phone. “He’ll be so
“No.” I shouted.
Dr. Aris froze, her hand hovering over the phone. “What?”
I looked her seriously in the eyes, “He can never know about this child.”
“Olivia, what are you saying?”
I met her shocked gaze with steady determination. “This is my child, not his. He gave up that right.”
The timing felt like a gift from the Moon Goddess herself, A reason to finally escape. A future that belonged to me alone.
Dr. Arle stared at me in disbelief. “Not tell him? Olivia, this is the puppy he has longed for for a long time!” My face turned pale as looked through her with hollow eyes. My lips trembled as the words poured out.
This is my child, not his. He gave up that right. Whether you believe it or not, he betrayed me.”
The image of Theodore rushing to Clara immediately after our separation flashed through my mind. How he’d broken his promise to send her away from Stonehaven City. How he’d chosen her over me, again and again. Dr. Aris’s expression shifted from confusion to understanding. “I believe you must have discovered

something, but Theodore is an Alpha. How could you possibly hide giving birth to a pup from him?”
When I noticed Dr. Aris’s hesitation, I could see the fear in her eyes. She was worried about Theodore’s anger, about what he might do if he discovered her role in keeping this secret.
“Please,” I pleaded, grasping her hand tightly. “Just help me keep this secret. I’ll leave Stonehaven. I’ll go
where he can never find us,”
Dr. Aris had protected me many times over the years. She’d been the one to comfort me through countless failed attempts at conception. She’d seen my tears, my desperation, my slow descent into despair.
Finally, she nodded. “I will help you,” she promised. “But you must listen. Your body is weak after years of trying, and the faint was due to a threatened miscarriage. You are in no condition to travel.”
My heart clenched with fear. “What does that mean?”
“We need at least a month to strengthen your body and stabilize the pregnancy. Any stress or physical exertion could cause you to lose the baby.”
One month. That’s good. It will also take a month for Matthew to come and pick me up.
“I agree to the timeline,” I said, my hand resting protectively over my stomach. This child would not be born
into a broken family where the father was unfaithful and the mother lived in tears,
Memories of my own childhood flooded back. My mother, Lyra, crying herself to sleep while my father chose his mistress over his family. The pain, the confusion, the feeling of never being enough.
I would break that cycle. My child would know love, security, and truth.
Dr. Aris watched my face carefully, then hesitantly spoke again. “There’s something else you need to know.
Theodore might have another pup.”
My temples were throbbing. “Another pup?”
Before Dr. Aris could elaborate, heavy footsteps echoed in the hallway. The door was thrown open, and
Theodore burst in right after.
My little wolf!!
I was so scared.
He pushed Dr. Aris aside without ceremony and pulled me into his arms. “My When I saw the blood in your car, I thought-
I avoided his gaze, but I couldn’t avoid the scent that clung to him. The scent of jasmine–Clara’s fragrance.
Then I saw them. Fresh bite marks on his neck, barely concealed by his collar. Clear evidence of his recent
encounter with Clara.
The sight of those marks filled me with fury. I forcefully pushed him away, my voice rising to a shout. “My affairs have nothing to do with you. Leave!”
Despite my resistance, Theodore held me tighter. “I’m sorry I was late. I’m so sorry, darling. I should have been there.
Clara’s scent is getting stronger and stronger, and I feel like throwing up. No amount of apologies can make up for the harm he has caused. It’s no longer possible.
Dr. Aris, Theodore sald, turning tu her without releasing me. “What’s wrong with my Luna? Why did she collapse?
Dr. Aris’s face went pale. She glanced at me nervously before lying smoothly. “Emotional stress caused early

menstruation and excessive blood loss. She needs rest”
(Theodore’s POV)
An hour ago
I had rushed out of The Northwood Manor, my heart pounding with panic. I yanked open the Ferrari’s door
and found bloodstains on the driver’s seat, but Olivia was nowhere to be seen.
Terror gripped my chest like a vise. “Go find her!” I commanded my pack enforcers. “Search every inch of the
territory!”
The enforcers immediately mobilized, spreading out across Crimson Pack Territory like a hunting party.
An anxious hour passed, and they finally found Olivia. She had been taken to the infirmary.
And now I sit here, growing more and more suspicious of Dr. Aris
Five years. Under her care, Olivia’s health had never improved; she remained weak. Perhaps it was time for a
change.
“Dr. Aris,” I said, my voice carrying the weight of authority. I’ve been thinking. Perhaps we need a second opinion. A renowned general practitioner might be more suitable.”
Her face went white. “Alpha, I assure you-”
“We’re planning to adopt from Lyra’s Hope Sanctuary anyway,” I continued. “Olivia no longer needs a gynecologist.”
I stood, preparing to call for another healer. “I want her examined by someone else. Immediately.”
“No!” Olivia interrupted me. I refuse any examination. And I want you to leave. Now.”
The pack enforcers froze, caught between conflicting orders from their Alpha and their Luna.
I studied Olivia’s face, seeing something I’d never seen before. Defiance. Cold, unwavering defiance.
“Very well,” I said finally. “Tll wait outside. But I’m not leaving.”
I carried her back to bed despite her struggles, then systematically removed everyone from the room,
Including Dr. Aris. I confiscated her phone and moved my office equipment to the doorway.
Then I walked out of the hospital room. “Go find out who brought her here.” When I rushed in just now, I saw a man’s jacket draped over the sofa in the room.
An hour later, I got my answer, A man in his thirties with a pup had called for an ambulance at one in the afternoon. At that time, I was on top of Clara.
Could it be that Olivia had discovered something?
