DANERA'S POV

I stood up from the chair feeling exhausted after a hectic day of putting the pack straight, and now I just had to go to cook food for my husband not that I didn't want to do it, but I was exhausted right now, moreover he wouldn't be home till late in the night, so I could take a little rest before then.

I walked through the pack as I watched the children play around, which made me extremely happy. I loved children, even if I couldn't bear one. I simply wish a miracle will just happen, but what choice do I have but to wait.

I noticed a couple in the far corner making out, and my heart sank not that I wasn't happy for them, but I wished that could happen to me, I mean they were happy, and I could literally feel the chemistry between them, but I never felt that in my four years of marriage.

I've known Cyrus since I was a kid, mainly because he was the Alpha's son, and I was the Beta's daughter. My mum will always tell me that I had this little crush on Cyrus and I wouldn't stop talking about him, but when we found that we were mates he didn't like the idea.

Though he never rejected me, which made me think that at some point he will learn to love him the way I grew to love him, a year after we knew we were mates we got married and to say I was the happiest girl on earth was an understatement.

I went crazy and did every single thing he asked, how I ended up taking care of the pack business I could barely remember and all I ever asked for from him was to love me, but he never did.

I took a deep breath and took a turn which made the Alpha's chambers come in view, I let out a small smile and continued to walk, come to think of it what was I supposed to even cook for him, he never tells me anything and even if I ask him about it, he will just grumble some hateful words which I was not really in the mood for.

I opened the door and to my surprise I saw him sitting on the couch reading a paper with a smile on his face which was quite strange for the Cyrus I knew who rarely smiles, especially when he is at home, he raised his head to look at me and continued what he was doing.

Oh, the type of husband I have! But I'm still head over heels for him.

I walked towards him to maybe get a kiss but as soon as I got close he sent a death glare towards me just like I expected which made me sigh. I wanted to say something, but then something on the paper he was reading caught my attention.

I looked at the paper closely and saw that it was a pregnancy test, I don't remember taking a pregnancy test in the past two months so why on earth could he have possibly found this one

"Whose pregnancy test is this?"

"The lady who is pregnant with my child." His words were like daggers to my heart and I took a step back.

"What?!" I asked as my eyes began to blur with tears, and he stood up from the couch to look at me.

"Are you deaf or something?" His stern voice always sent shivers down my spine whenever he talks, and you really couldn't blame me after everything I have suffered in his hands the past four years or perhaps five.

"Cyrus, I have done nothing but loved you ever since we knew we were mates, so tell me who really owns that pregnancy test and why do you have it?" Anyone could hear the trace of sadness in my voice, for I was at the bridge of breakdown right now with different thoughts going around in my head.

"It's my baby Danera. Get that into your thick skull." I felt my heart drop and the tears roll down my face.

Though I knew he never loved me since we meant, but I would never expect this from him, I looked into his eyes and saw nothing but disgust which made me wonder if I was destined to be a broken-hearted person.

"Who's the bastard's mother?" I asked out of anger, I know I really wasn't supposed to say that, but I'm upset right now so fuck him.

"How dare...?"

"That child is going to be born out of wedlock, and we all know a child born out of wedlock is a bastard, so I ask again who is the bastard's mother?" He was furious. I could see it clearly, but why the hell didn't he want to react like he always does?

"Listen." I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion and that's when I heard it, a heartbeat.

My heart began to beat uncontrollably as I followed the sound of the heartbeat, to tell you the truth I didn't even know how I felt right now my head was just spinning with emotions.

The sound of the heartbeat was without a doubt coming from outside the door but who could it possibly be, I mean we had a lot of maids around the Alpha chambers after all but who could dare to sleep with Cyrus behind my back?

I walked out and saw my best friend; Roxy picking grapes from its bush and I felt another wave of pain in my chest, she was the one who was pregnant, and I knew she didn't have a mate which could only mean she was holding my husband's child, the one person who I grew to love as a friend without having a second doubt.

Roxy was the nicest person I knew, so how could she have possibly done this to me knowing everything I have been through? She turned away from the grape bush and looked at me with a cheerful smile on her face, but it immediately turned to a frown when she looked behind me, Cyrus!
