Chapter 7: Pregnant

Mercedes's mind froze. She wouldn't believe that he actually just stood up for her. She stood there staring as christian turned to his human form before walking up to where she stood.

"I ask you. Who the hell did you say is banished from your pack Daze?"

Alpha Daze panicked. He was more shocked than the rest of the people present. How could he stupidly cause Christian any anger? "I ... I apologize to you Alpha Christian, I had no idea..."

" No, you owe me no fucking apology. You know who you should be apologizing to." He turned to the rest and raised his voice to the point that Surprised Mercedes..

" Just a moment ago, you were praising her beautiful legs and the next you were gaslighting her. Did you intentionally pick a fight with me? You know the fight won't end until your heads are Rolling on the ground. The whole of shadow pack are my enemy from this moment!"

"I deeply apologize to Mercedes. We have wronged you. Please find it in your heart to accept our deepest apology from the whole of the pack and the company '' Alpha Daze immediately bowed to Mercedes in apology, his legs visibly shaking.

He had no means or warriors to go against Christian and judging by his previous records, it was best to avoid him.

Surprised Mercedes was still marveling at the turn of events but seeing her pack leader beg her in such desperate manner, she let go of the humiliation. "It's fine Alpha. I..."

Christian immediately placed his hands on her lips, his face cold as ice as he furrowed his brows" Don't be so weak. An eye for an eye is the rule. "

He then turned to the bawling Alpha " I will decide the perfect punishment I will give to you for judging so recklessly " he tapped his trembling shoulder.

Dragging Mercedes out of the stage still didn't stop the fear and stillness at the event hall. Everyone was afraid to talk like their mouth has been forever sealed.

The media went into a frenzy the next day. Reporters were present to witness the incident and before the whole city could awake, it was on every news site. Coupled with the released video of Christian's engagement, Mercedes' conversation with Stephanie at the washroom and Trevor's threatening phone call to Mercedes that night.

Everything was happening together for Stephanie and her mate. She kept pacing nervously answering one call of contract termination to another.

Her plans had backfired.

"I'm going to end that whore myself! How dare she do this to me, her best friend? Talk about betrayal" she grumbled

"Don't call her a whore " Trevor interrupted

"Excuse me. Whose side are you actually on? Your uncle and his cheating mate or myself? Trevor make yourself clear"

Trevor scoffed. " I just said you shouldn't call her a whore. We are still married and she might change her mind. Wait until I finish with my plan "

Just then, his doorbell rang and upon opening it, a brown envelope with divorce agreement was staring right at his face"

"In your wildest dreams will Mercedes return to this house. You know you don't love her enough, the mate bond is just still toying with you for the moment "

Trevor was so pissed at what he just read and he tossed the paper heavily on the table, adjusting his collar to enable him to breathe.

"She doesn't want money as divorce settlement! How could she want the building?"

"What are you talking about?" Stephanie asked.

Upon getting no response, she went to read the divorce documents herself." No way ! Trevor you ain't giving her that. It's for my unborn child "

"Are you pregnant?" His brows raised in curiosity.

"I was meant to tell you but things haven't been smooth these days. I didn't want to break the news of our your First Child in such chaos"

"Oh moon goddess! What Mercedes could never give me!. "

"Told you she doesn't have a womb. She confided in me about it. She neither has a womb or a wolf so your decision to divorce her was never a mistake " Stephanie lied.

In the past she had made sure Trevor believed her lies. While she constantly visited about work, she kept chipping in the little lies that broke his marriage. However her goal wasn't just to get Trevor to marry her. It was the house she was originally after.

She walked up seductively to him and traced her fingers gently from his chest, down his lower abdomen .

Biting her lips she whispered in a low convincing tone. " So.. wouldn't you keep the house for our baby? I don't want to raise him in a different environment from where he was conceived"

Trevor was weak and nodded his head as a sign of approval, he then pullef her closer to his chest.

Stephanie placed her lips against his and they both became lost in a moan-full kiss. His lips were warm and soft. They parted slightly, allowing her tongue to slip inside.

" Do you want something a bit more passionate to celebrate? " she gasped.
