Chapter 14
Althea came from a comfortable family, though Brian didn’t hold any important position for the pack, but his business was the one that became the backbone of the pack’s economy.
Therefore, to see her living in this kind of place made Killian gritted his teeth. She lived in luxury, but how could she choose to live here? This building didn’t look safety, as if it was going to collapse anytime.
But then, Killian was reminded that Althea didn’t bring anything with her, aside from the ring that Sean gave to her, in which she got the money after she pawned it.
It wouldn’t be a lot to be able to support herself and their baby.
Killian felt this rage that ran through his veins, because Althea chose to leave with his baby and put herself in this situation without even letting him knew about her pregnancy.
He would do thing differently if he knew….
With steady step, Killian walked into the building, he walked so fast, because he didn’t want to waste another second without seeing her. He had been wondering how she was right now and how pregnant she was.
It had been a few months and she could go into labor any time.
Killian found her flat, he stood in front of the door. It looked very shabby, he felt like he could tear it down in a single kick.
The area was not safe and even the door of her room was not strong enough for her safety. What did she think when she chose to live here? Didn’t she think about the safety of herself and their baby?
The thought of it made Killian mad. He was going to take her back to the pack. He would drag her back if he was left with no other choice.
With that in mind, Killian knocked on the door. He was very impatient for someone to open it. For Althea to open the door. Killian expected Althea to be surprised when she opened the door, but he didn’t expect this.
“Who are you?” A man opened the door, he looked at Killian with a furrowed brows. “Are you looking for someone?”
He was a little bit taller than Killian with the same body built, but Killian could feel he was someone with status. The aura that he had was not something that a commoner could pull through.
For a second, Killian thought his man got the wrong information and was about to leave, until he heard her voice. He remembered her voice very well, it would be forever engraved in his mind.
“Who is there?” Althea asked from inside.
For a few second, Killian stood there frozen. He could hear her footsteps approaching the door and her scent that lingered in the air. It brought back all of the memories.
Sure enough, it was not something that Althea would fond of, Killian didn’t find the memories were great either, but no matter what it was, these memories were something that he shared with her.
“Althea?” Killian called her name when her figure appeared from behind the man, who was standing in front of the door.
She was heavily pregnant, her belly was very round, but aside from that, she looked even skinnier, did that make sense? How could someone looked very pregnant, but at the same time their body didn’t change, aside from her stomach?
Killian expected a surprise look on her eyes, but when he saw them, it was horror and disgust. He was taken aback with the way Althea looked at him.
“Who are you?” Alex narrowed his eyes. He didn’t know this man, but he had a few guesses about the identity of this man, especially after he saw the interaction between the two of them
Alex’s question snapped Killian out of his mind. He glared at him with so much hostility. “Who are you?!” He literally growled at him and was ready to pounce him.
Alex was on alert. He didn’t know this man, but he could feel that he was at the very least a beta, or… an alpha.
He glanced at Althea briefly over his shoulder and could see how she was trembling in fear. She was unable to speak, but her eyes said everything that he needed to know.
His protective instinct turned his voice a little bit hostile than he intended to.
“You are the one, who came knocking on our door. If you have nothing better to say, you better leave.”
“Our?” The word that Alex used didn’t go unnoticed by Killian. So, this man had been living here with his mate? With his pregnant mate?! How dare she copulated with him when she was pregnant with his baby? Did she really pregnant with his baby? Did she get someone else impregnated her behind his back?
Killian was blinded by rage. He couldn’t think straight.
“Althea! Come here! We are going to leave!” Killian used his alpha’s voice when he commanded Althea to come with him and this didn’t sit well with Alex.
At the very least, he knew now that he was an alpha. He would find out what pack he was hailed from. It wouldn’t be hard. Althea shook her head, she took a step back and rushed into the room, she didn’t want to go with him. She didn’t know how he could find her and why he wanted her back, but she assumed, he must have learned about her pregnancy and wanted to take her baby away from her.
Althea couldn’t let him to do that!
“Althea!” Killian screamed her name and was about to barge in when Alex stopped him, he literally blocked the door with his body. He pushed Killian and stepped outside, closed the door behind him.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
“Get lost,” Alex said. He didn’t raise his voice, but Killian could feel his strong aura. He was right, the man before him was not
