Pregnant After One Night With The Lycan By Kellie Brown

Chapter 24 You Are More Important!

Marco’s POV:

Lily’s screams ring in my ears, and she thrashes wildly in the pond, sending water in every direction. I race to her side, jumping in before Eric even reaches the edge of the pond.

Eric only glares resentfully at my biting tone before kneeling beside his fiance. I step back, giving them some space.

“Lily, are you okay? What happened?” he asks. “It was an accident; Ayana knocked her purse in the pond,” Lily coughs, her voice overly breathy. “Oh, Eric, I was so scared. I feel so faint.”

I roll my eyes, not wanting to get involved in whatever drama Ayana stirred up. Lily is safe, so I get up to head back into the ballroom and look for Tanya. But before I take a single step, Lily sputters.
