I walk back to my room with my heart in my throat.
Appetite-suppressant? This new information is slowly sinking in, and it's worse than I thought. And here I was, concerned about going back to Garrett. I thought it was the worst that could happen. How naive I am. Judging by what was written, about why this spirit descends, this is just the beginning.
Why Cyran though? Why my Cyran? There are so many other Alphas it could have taken over. Possessed. Why now, when I'm carrying Cyran's child? When I enter the room, I find him in there. I stagger backward, but it's too late to turn back now. He's already seen me. I focus on clearing my thoughts and acting surprised to see him. "You're here?"
"You're concerned about the pup. Why, is something wrong?" My heart skips a beat. I can't believe that worked! But now paranoia is starting to sink its claws in me. What if he's faking it, the same way I am? What if he knows?
