Pregnant And Rejected

Pregnant And Rejected By My Alpha Mate By Caroline Above Chapter 50

Chapter 50

Selene‘s POV

That isn‘t fair. I object immediately. And it isn‘t ethical, how can you abide bringing an innocent child into your troubles.

You mean the way you oh so ethically chose to hide your Volana daughter in a pack you know is incapable of safeguarding her, all the while knowing the Calypsos are after you? Bastien growls, genuine anger in his voice.

Then who did? He thunders.

Probably your damned saboteur! I throw back, narrowing my eyes to slits. Or maybe it‘s the person who set the fire after locking me in the closet. I can‘t imagine they were very amused when they realized I escaped.

Bastien freezes. What are you talking about?

What, you didn‘t think it was an accident did you? I goad him, feeling particularly feisty in my wolf‘s skin. And I just magically got. locked inside in the small window of time your mother was gone.

No, of course we assumed it was murder at the time. Bastien combats. I just.

What? I prompt. Thought a fake body eliminated the element of foul play?

Then you saw who did it? Bastien questions urgently.
