I can't believe it. Is this the price I have to bear every day for being pregnant with an Alpha's pup? Maybe I should have drank that water. Then I would have been saved from all this. I didn't even get past the first period and everyone was already talking like it was my fault. I didn't ask to be pregnant. I wanted to free myself, and I couldn't.
All this wouldn't have happened if I had never left Redwood. My life was perfect there. No one judged anyone. No whispers in the hallways. No eyes following you like you had done something unforgivable. No voices lowering when you walked past.
Just people living their lives.
I stood in the bathroom, looking at my reflection in the mirror. My chest rose and fell slowly. My fingers curled around the edge of the sink until my knuckles turned pale.
I wanted to punch it. Break something. Anything. Just to reduce my anger.
The mirror showed everything I didn't want to see. My red eyes. My messy hair. The tension in my jaw.
