Chapter 15
ALPHA XANDER
I couldn’t stop thinking about the news as I paced around my room in shock. Just then, the door cracked open and Lord Williams came in.
“Alpha, you sent for me,” he said with a bow.
“Have you heard the news?” I asked, ignoring his greetings.
“Yes, I met with Madam Rosalie on my way here,” he said carefully.
“I do not believe the doctor. It is not possible for the girl to be pregnant for me. It has never happened before so is this supposed to be some kind of miracle?” I shook my head, unable to believe the news.
No matter how much I thought about it, it just doesn’t make any sense.
“As much as this is hard to believe, the doctor said the girl is a week pregnant and she has only been with you since she got here,” he reasoned. “If she was two months pregnant or three, I would have said it belonged to Prince Kane, but she is only a week pregnant.”
As much as all of this made sense logically, none of it sits well with me. She can not be pregnant for me.
It doesn’t make any sense because my stepmother had ensured to turn me to a barren. for as long as I could remember.
Seventeen years ago when I turned sixteen was the exact day I first turned into a wolf. It was the happiest day of my life because I have always felt so useless but after turning to my wolf, I felt fulfilled.
It was the best birthday gift ever. I didn’t know how to control it yet, since it was my first time, but I ran into the woods and kept on shifting back and forth just to test my abilities.
My stomach bubbles with joy at the moment and it felt as if nothing else mattered.
I rushed hope that day, knowing how much my father despised me. I thought he would at least be proud of me and throw me a party as he has always done for himself whenever something good happens.
“You cannot go in, Alpha had requested to be alone,” the guard at the entrance tried to stop me but my excitement wouldn’t allow me to listen.
I pushed my way through and met with my father’s cold gaze. My heart sank immediately, but I brushed it off.
I bet he didn’t even remember that it was my birthday. I could live with that. I have been trying so hard to get his attention and I guess that was my chance.
“Father! I finally turned into a wolf!” I yelled excitedly.
I had expected his face to light up and tell me how proud he was but he didn’t even act like I was in the room.
“Father, did you not hear me? I can finally shift to a wolf now, I repeated myself. This time, the excitement was gone but I tried to be optimistic.
My words fell on deaf ears as he pretended that I was invincible yet again.
“Father, please look at me,” I found myself begging as tears pricked in the corner of my eyes.
“You are not worthy to be looked at. You are the son of an Omega which makes you a slave and not worthy of my royal blood,” he spat out. “You are weak and useless and it is by luck that you get to be my son.”
I ran out of his room in tears, feeling heartbroken all over again. I thought he would finally accept me now that I have finally turned to my wolf, but it doesn’t seem to make any difference to him.
I went back to my room in pain and all my excitement was gone. I lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling when a maid came in.
“Luna asked you to join her for dinner,” the maid said, and I jolted up in surprise. Luna wanted to have dinner with me. That was shocking.
Luna has made it clear that she can never accept me into the family, thus, I always eat by myself and do everything alone.
I rushed outside before she changed her mind and I was surprised to see a lot of food. on the dining table.
A few of my favorites were there and other foods I had always wished I could taste whenever I watched them eat from across the room.
“Xander, you are here. Happy Birthday!” She greeted me with a smile.
I was even more shocked by how polite she was and I couldn’t help but stare at her in disbelief.
“T- thank you,” I muttered.
“Have a seat. I called you over so that you can enjoy all these foods,” she said with at smile and I pulled back a seat, still surprised to see how nice and polite she was.
I watched all the food in awe and I couldn’t stop myself from asking questions that had been playing in my mind since the moment I got here.
“I don’t mean to be rude, but what is the occasion? Why do you invite me to join you for dinner?” I asked wearily.
“Now that you have a wolf, I thought it wouldn’t be a bad thing to celebrate you after all. you are not exactly the misfortune everyone assumed you to be,” she said with a smile.
That was the closest thing to a compliment I could get from her so I took it with a smile.
I wasn’t sure if I should believe her because everything seemed so new to me but I didn’t want to offend her so I kept a polite smile on my face.
“Go ahead and eat,” she urged me and I nodded.
I put a moderate portion of food on my plate and began to eat carefully. I was being cautious about how I ate so that I wouldn’t get on her nerves.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
“Eat everything. I prepared them for you,” she said, and I nodded.
I ate everything until I was full and she watched me with a smile. Once I was done, she stood up with a smug face.
“It’s a good thing you ate everything,” she let out an evil laugh. “At least he won’t be able to produce any more of your kind,” she said with a devious smile on her face.
“W- what do you mean?” I stammered.
And she burst out laughing hysterically. “Did you enjoy your food?” She laughed and I wondered where this was going.
“I’m glad you did because I just poisoned your food.”
My face flushed red as I began to cough out in disbelief.
“Calm down, you won’t die,” she chuckled. “The poison won’t kill you, it will only make you infertile,” she grinned. “You would never be able to have a child again in your life.”
