Aurora's POV
The ray of sun reflected on my eyes and caused me to wake up. I sat on my buttocks, stretched my hands, and yawned.
I darted my eyes in search of him, and I found him sitting close to the windows as I stood to my feet and walked towards him.
"Hey," I called.
"Good morning, princess; slept fine?"
"Yeah, I did," I respond, this time facing him. "You don't look like you had any sleep," I said as I noticed his fallen eyes.
He didn't respond to that but scoffed as he handed over a paper to me. I took the paper from his hands and observed it for a while.
"What? What is this?" I asked with mixed feelings.
"What does it look like?" he answered with a question and his voice with no emotion.
"You did this all night?" I asked with my voice filled with excitement.
"We shouldn't forget why you are in this situation. The earlier we begin, the better it will be,'' he said.
I couldn't express how I felt. I had totally forgotten what Alfred did to me and how it made my life miserable.
"You have to tell me how exactly your pack operates; with that information, it will help us come up with a solid plan on how to attack," he suggested.
"You've done it all already; I don't think that there would be any better plan than this," I said, going through the paper again.
"I'll still need some details about your pack unless you have some secrets you're hiding." He blurted out.
"What? Why would you even mention a thing like that? I wouldn't hide anything from you, and I know it."
"Okay, except for the fact that you're carrying his child? You're carrying his blood inside of you, and you never told me, and I still doubt you would if I hadn't found out."
I became speechless at first as it occurred to me that I hadn't told him that I was ever pregnant.
"So it's fine if you don't want to tell me something, or rather anything, and I wish you good luck with your child." He scoffed, and I could hear the bitterness in his voice as he spoke.
"Could you please..." He stood up and walked past me before I could finish my sentence.
"Alzred, can we please talk about this?" I asked in a sad voice.
"There's literally nothing to talk about; all we need to talk about now is how to get your revenge and what rightfully belongs to you. I made a promise to help you achieve that, and that I would do." His voice bore no emotion.
I really wanted to tell him about everything, but he wasn't giving me any listening ears, and it broke my heart. There was silence in our mist as he stepped out without uttering a word to me.
The rest of the day went so boring and unusual. I knew how hurt he felt, but how do I tell him he had a reason to be hurt when he had refused to give me a listening ear?
He sat on a branch of a tree, his eyes surveying the environment. I stood at the door for a second and gained the courage to walk up to him.
Immediately after he heard my footsteps, he jumped from the branch and was about to walk past me when I ran and stood before him.
"You can't give me such attitudes when you know nothing about the truth." I voiced out.
"Aurora, could you please let me be? I demand to be alone." he seethed.
"No! You've got to listen to me; you can't keep treating me this way. I can't be happy without having you around." I subbed.
"Well, you should, because I won't be with you forever." His voice bore no emotion.
I took two steps back at the sound of that while my head assimilated what I had just heard. My worst fear was being thrown in my face.
"And, and what does that mean?" I stuttered.
"I don't remember promising you that I would be with you till the end, so why do you sound surprised?" he said, staring straight into my eyes.
I covered my mouth from gasping as I began to hit his chest while tears flowed down my cheeks.
"I was never pregnant," I said, crying. "I only did that to escape him from killing me in front of everyone; how could you say such a thing to me? I hate you." I covered my face as I ran into the house.
Alzred's POV
I stood up all night with my brain thinking of how to sketch an intensive plan for successful revenge when I remembered about her pregnancy.
My mood immediately changed. "How on earth did I forget such a thing?" I thought.
I totally forgot that the woman I loved had another man's child growing inside of her—the same man that made her life miserable.
"Hey," I heard her voice from behind.
