“Please keep my daughter safe,” said Jade, following me to the door. Then, in a quieter voice. “Do you think it could beyourbaby?”

“I don’t know,” I said, sweat running down my back.

“What? Were you part of the group who hurt her?” she asked, eyes flashing.

“No,” I said vehemently. “She went into heat after we saved her life. Did she tell you that?”

“She didn’t,” she said, shaking her head. “Sorry for thinking you’d hurt her. Have a good night.”

“It’s okay,” I said. “You didn’t know the whole story.”

With that, I headed out the door, perplexed by Liv’s parents. No wonder she stayed in her room all day depressed. I was going to find her and make sure she was okay. And she could be carrying my child in her belly right now.

Hopping into my car, I went in the general direction of the park that Caleb had mentioned and thought about Liv as I drove.

I thought about her cherry lips and scent. Her curly black hair fanning out under my chin when she rested her head on my chest. I missed everything about her, and I couldn’t wait to talk to her.

I needed her to know how I truly felt and how I would never let her go ever again.

OLIVIA

After walking for several hours, occasionally vomiting into bushes- I stumbled into a dark cave for some shelter. It had gotten dark outside, and fear went through me upon entering the cave.Shit, I had gone too far from the camp.Ahead of me was a cliff, so I decided to stop and rest here.

Sitting in the cave was terrifying. I couldn’t see anything in the dark, and panic settled within me.

But the longer I sat there, the more I was lost to the darkness.

“No, no, no,” I said out loud as memories started to surface again. Memories of the OBC. Memories of Brett and the sweaty alphas. “No!”

I ran out of the cave and breathed in deeply when I looked up at the moon, which barely peeked through the trees. Tears flowed down my cheeks as I stood there staring at the cliff.

I could just end it all.

Make all my memories disappear.

My feet seemed to move by themselves toward the edge, and my heart pumped wildly as tears streamed down my face. Nobody gave a fuck about me. I was just a breeding tool for alphas.

And maybe I was. I was just a toy for the alphas.

I stood at the edge of the cliff, looking down at the swirl of darkness that would end me. The peace of no more worrying.

I held a hand to my belly, suddenly feeling a flutter within me. And chills went through me.

At that moment, I knew I was carrying a baby within me.Was it fair to him that I might end my life right now? And his life?

No, no I couldn’t do this.

Letting out a long breath, I turned around on wobbly legs. I couldn’t believe I almost gave in to the dark. My heart was beating wildly in my chest, from my attempt.

But I suddenly slipped on the edge.

I screamed as I felt myself start to fall in the air, and I automatically reached out to grab the edge, but instead, my hand wrapped around someone else’s.

The hand quickly pulled me up mid-air, setting me on the ground.

“Olivia,” barked a deep male voice.
