Chapter 0127
Sara POV
I rose from the sofa as the Alpha’s presence grew stronger. The fact that I could now sense him from such a distance despite all the walls was somewhat thrilling. But I refused to let that weaken my resolve.
I sucked in a deep breath to brace myself as silent footsteps approached from the hallway. Nick and I would be face to face after a night of accute passion.
In spite of my feelings about his mark, I was eager to see how he would look at me. His scent filled the room afresh as the door gave its gentle beep.
He entered the room, and a whirlpool of emotions followed him. Did something happen? I wanted to ask. His face was blank, but anger was only a tiny part of what I picked up. He was hurt and disappointed. Maybe a bit confused too.
Did these have something to do with me? I wanted to go to him. Hold him. Tell him it was all going to be okay. But that was just the bond trying to screw me over.
“That is a nice dress. You look beautiful.” The rich deep timbre of his voice sounded in my
mind even though he spoke the words aloud.
For the first time since I changed this morning, I looked down at the new outfit and realized I was far too dressed up. Of course, the dresses on the hanger were all made to make me look pleasing for the Alpha’s eyes.”
I smoothed it with my palms before I could stop myself. Then, awkwardly let my hands fall to
the side.
“I didn’t mean to keep you waiting,” he said. “You were sleeping when I left. I didn’t want to wake you up. The doctor is running some tests to make sure you’re alright. He also wants you to come for proper medical checkup later.”
“I feel great, I mean fine. I need to get back to town.”
He nodded. “Okay. I’d like you to wait for the test results at least. Let’s be sure there’s nothing to worry about.” His tone was gentle,
It was a request I wished to grant but for the wrong reason. Not because I worried about my health.
He stood, waiting for me to speak.
I had questions after hearing what his mother said, but I wondered what the answers would

yield. A lot of time had passed. Was there any need to hear him say why he abandoned me?
“What happened between us last night,” I began. He held his breath.
“If your mother hadn’t dragged me here yesterday, I would’ve ended up in another male’s bed.”
“Woe to the unfortunate male!” he said simply.
I was unsure what that meant, so I ignored it.
“The mark. It was a mistake. We got carried away. But it’s reversible like I said-”
“Look at me,” he commanded.
I lifted my head. His eyes were so intense that my legs wanted to force themselves to him. But I held firm.
Just because I had a situation yesterday and he helped me through it didn’t mean we were
close
“It’s a mistake, but it’s reversible,” he whispered, narrowing his eyes in recollection.
“I remember these words. I said them to you years ago when you told me you might be
pregnant.”
His chest rose and fell before he went on.
“I’m ashamed of myself, Sara. For acting the way I did. I was under a lot of pressure, but I should’ve handled things better.”
He lowered his head, and I could tell it was hard for him to admit what he just did.
I opened my mouth to defend myself. To tell him that what I said wasn’t an attempt at
payback. But my chest had gone tight, and I didn’t trust my voice.
“The first time I saw you with our son, I couldn’t believe how stupid I’d been, demanding that you get rid of the pregnancy.
I mean, yeah, he was unplanned, so you could call it a “mistake.”
But he’s a blessing. A gift from Goddess. Which I don’t even deserve. But I’m working to deserve it. I can be a better male if you give me a chance.”
He took one step closer as he went on.
“Sara, I owe you everything for your courage. For keeping our child despite my threats a–and… utter foolishness. I was a horrible coward. That’s not me anymore.”

I blinked a few times to send the tears back.
‘Is that why you tried to take him from me?‘ I asked using mindlink. My voice couldn’t work at that moment.
“I’m petty and vengeful, Sweets. You knew that I knew he’s my child, yet you screamed that he wasn’t. You tried to run off with him. Yeah, I deserved that, and I understand why you did it. But I couldn’t help being pissed. Coming to your home to force him out of your arms was my silly revenge.
