History Repeats–2
She noticeably sighed with relief: “Ill give you all the time you need. But please remember, I love you. Even when I thought you were dead, I kept you in my heart. I hope you’ll believe that if you need us, your father and I will be there in an instant.”
God, it felt good to be wanted, but I didn’t know if I could really trust them. Only time would tell.
I’ll think about it,” I answered briefly, then hung up.
I understood her feelings, but I still had doubts. What if they were just looking for someone to fill a void? That’s what worried me. Being used, being second choice, just like I was Sebastian’s second choice.
Bethany suddenly sat down across from me, interrupting my thoughts. She was notorious among my colleagues for gossiping and always managed to catch me exactly when I least wanted to talk.
“Wow, such a good appetite today?” she remarked with surprise, looking at the food in front of me. “You’ve been so moody lately, and eating more, just like… well, a pregnant
she–wolf.”
Though I knew she was joking, I froze in my seat. Her words echoed in my mind likke a broken record, and fear spread through every fiber of my body.
“Thea? Are you okay?” Bethany frowned, “You know I was just kidding, right?”
Before she could finish, I grabbed my bag and rushed out of the lounge, not even caring about my next class. I practically stumbled out of the school, jumped into my car, and stepped on the gas, tires screeching against the pavement. Damn. This couldn’t be happening. Please don’t let it be happening.
My brain was a mess as I ran two yellow lights, speeding toward the nearest pharmacy. The moment I jumped out of my car, I froze–Aurora was walking out of a shop next door, holding an elegantly wrapped package.
“Thea?” she called out, slightly surprised, probably because I looked like a complete mess.
I ignored her and pushed through the door, heading straight for the women’s health

section. I grabbed five or six different brands of pregnancy tests and quickly went to the
checkout.
Back home, I robotically drank three large glasses of water, then walked into the bathroom and started testing. This couldn’t be real! I couldn’t be pregnant, especially now, carrying that traitor’s child!
Five minutes later, when all five different brands showed the same result, I collapsed onto
the floor.
“Why? Just fucking why?” I whispered weakly, tears blurring my vision.
Was the Moon Goddess punishing me? Because I was a wolfless freak, so I had to be this unlucky? Going through two unplanned pregnancies? First Leo, and now this. I tried to get up from the bathroom floor, but I just didn’t have the strength. I was completely
drained.
Thinking back, Kane and I had had one intimate encounter without protection. I’d forgotten to take the morning–after pill, and by the time I remembered, it had been
several days. I’d told Kane about it. I thought he’d be angry, but he wasn’t. Instead, he
comforted me. We both thought it was unlikely I’d get pregnant. I’d noticed some
changes, like my period being late, but I attributed it to the stress I was under. I never
thought much about my increased appetite because I always ate when I was stressed or
upset.
When a sudden knock on the door startled me, I jumped. I didn’t want to see anyone,
much less let anyone see me like this. The knocking became more urgent, but I just
buried my head in my knees and covered my ears.
After a while, the knocking stopped. I sighed with relief, but then I heard the door open. Heavy footsteps came up the stairs, heading toward the bathroom. I started to panic.
I wanted to hide the pregnancy tests, but it was too late. A tall figure appeared in my bathroom doorway.
“Thea?” Sebastian’s voice was deeper than usual. I looked up at him, tears flowing uncontrollably again.
“Why you?” I was almost sobbing. “Of all people, why did it have to be you?”

Sebastian slowly walked in and crouched in front of me, his eyes hiding emotions 1
couldn’t quite identify,
“Aurora saw you at the pharmacy,” he began, wiping tears from my face with his
fingertips. “She said you looked completely out of it, bought a bunch of pregnancy tests,
and rushed off.”
Fucking Aurora! What right did she have to tell Sebastian about this? What the hell was she trying to do?
“She had no business running her mouth,” I snapped through gritted teeth. “This isn’t her concern, and it sure as hell isn’t yours either.”
He didn’t flinch at my sharp tone, just asked quietly: “Did you take the tests?”
I nodded silently, another wave of tears threatening to spill over.
“What were the results?”
I couldn’t answer. I just couldn’t bring myself to admit what those tests had shown.
Sebastian’s gaze swept across the bathroom, eventually landing on the pregnancy tests scattered near the sink. He stood up and walked over, picking one up. Under normal circumstances, I would have been furious at his intrusion, but right now, I couldn’t bring myself to care about such trivial things.
He returned to my side, this time choosing to sit on the floor beside me. “Congratulations. You’ll be an amazing mother,” he said softly, a strange tremor in his voice.
I rested my head on his shoulder, letting all my pent–up thoughts pour out: “Really? For seven years you never wanted to give Leo a sibling, even though I was so hopeful. I thought… I thought it was because you didn’t think I was good enough to be a mother.”
Every moment with Sebastian had been accompanied by insecurity. I knew the truth–he didn’t want more pups because he was always waiting for Aurora to return. I chose to deceive myself because believing he thought I was a terrible mother was easier than

After it was all done, I fled like the hounds of hell were chasing me.
