I am surprised by what Adam told me. Why does Richelle's cousin be the leader of the healers in this generation? What happened to my family? What was the reason why my family stopped managing the group?
Adam sighed. He was too unhappy, and I didn't even know why. He scowled, and his forehead ceased when he was gazing at me.
“Shit, you're pregnant.” He muttered. His eyes widened in disbelief. How could I forget that he knew about what happened in the past? I couldn't even hide secrets from him.
“Seriously, Adam. You chose to use your ability on me. I can't believe you, and I am sure you saw how I fucked with Alpha Brandon.” I sarcastically told him. Adam's cheek turned flushed.
“Of course, I skipped that part. I want you to know that I could forward it.”
“And do you want me to feel thankful for that? You didn't even respect my privacy! You shouldn't use your ability on me, especially since I want to keep a secret from you!” Adam raised his hands to me. He acted like he was surrendering to me.
“You should calm down, okay? I'm sorry if I do that. I'm too worried that maybe you have a disease, and I want to know the truth. You know how protective I was of you. I don't want you to die because—”
“You're overreacting. Adam, and why would I die?”
“Because Keer told you that he successfully put the disease inside your body.” I was stunned when I heard his reason. I tried to act like I wasn't scared if I might die, but deep inside, I was hoping that Keer was lying all along. “Leah, I don't want something terrible to happen to you, especially now that you're protecting Amoux's child.” He added.
“Adam, I can protect myself.”
“I'm aware of that, Leah.” He whispered sadly, and I felt terrible that I was mad at him. Although I'm still furious that he used his ability on me, I know now that he was too worried about me.
Adam was too scared to lose someone, and I think that he had a traumatic experience after his parents died in front of him.
“I'm sorry if I get mad at you. I don't even think about what you felt.” I started crying when I felt guilty for what I acted towards him. Adam stopped, and I saw his face turn into panic. My tears continued flowing, and I couldn't even prevent them.
“Hey, Leah, you shouldn't cry, okay? I'm not mad at you, and I understand you.” Adam whispered to stop me from crying but instead of stopping, my tears flowed so fast. I sobbed so loud when I felt my chest tighten, not because Amoux was doing nasty behind my back but because I was guilty of treating my cousin so severely.
“What is happening here?” Almera went into the room. I saw Karen behind her, giving me a death glare from my cousin. I cried more, and I felt that it was my fault that Karen was mad at my cousin.
“She started crying, Almera. I'm trying to comfort her.” Adam confessed.
“What did you do now, Adam? Alpha Leah wasn't a crybaby! She won't cry without a valid reason.” Karen was about to move toward her.
“Don't be mad at my cousin; it is my fault.” I coughed when I felt my throat throb in pain.
“Alpha Leah, you don't need to protect this man. I would do everything for you.” Karen stated. Adam's eyes expanded when Karen tried to get him, but he moved back so fast.
“Baby, this isn't funny at all. I'm telling you the truth; I didn't even make Leah cry! Okay, why don't you ask her first!”
“Her tears were proof that you did something hurtful to her. Adam! How dare you? I don't want you to sleep beside me from now on!”
“Karen, it's not his fault. I cried because I got mad at my cousin. After all,- because of what he did. I realized he was trying to protect me, and I felt guilty.” Karen's mouth hung open when she heard my reason. She took a breath as if she was trying to calm herself down.
“Are you telling me the truth? I don't want to think that you're trying to protect him too. Alpha Leah, I don't even see you cry, and because of my mate, you cried so hard. It's too weird, and I thought that something possessed you.”
“I am telling you the truth; please don't get mad at h-him.” I bit my lips when my voice cracked. I blinked when my eyes turned to tears again, and I couldn't stop them from falling.
“What is happening? You're too emotional. Okay, I'm not mad at your cousin; I was trying to scare him.” Karen reasoned out, but it didn't even stop me from crying. Damn, these freaking tears; what is happening in my eyes?
“I-I am sorry if I am too emotional. I couldn't prevent myself from crying.”
Almera was observing me. I could even see how serious her face was. She sighed.
“She's pregnant. That's why she's too emotional. She couldn't stop it, and we should think of a reason to make her stop crying.”
“Wait, how did you know? Please don't tell me that you two hide this from me again. I couldn't believe this, Alpha Leah. I am your Beta too!”
“Bitch, please, she didn't even tell me about it, but I was the one who told me to check herself in the hospital. I know you're one of her Beta, but you didn't even notice that her body turned a lot.”
“I thought that Alpha Leah wanted to eat more. I don't even mind if she's fat.” Karen defends herself, but I whine when she tells me I am fat.
“I don't even know that I am fat!” Karen panicked when I stomped on the floor. I couldn't believe I was fat, and maybe, I wasn't too delectable.
“Okay, that's not what I mean. Do you want me to cook some food for you?” Karen sweetly caressed my hair. I stopped crying, and I felt excited about the food that she would be going to prepare.
“I'm excited to eat.” I stood up, and I saw their shocked faces.
