Kim "Ethan" Yong-saeng
After talking with omma about mates and how she met father. I decided to give Andrés a chance to explain everything to me. The only way that would happen was that I needed to talk with Andrés to see what in the world was going on. Maybe I just didn't see the whole picture or missed the memo.
I quickly take out my IV trip and put my suit jacket over my gown. It would have to do for now.
Then, I rushed towards the backdoor of the pack medical building. This way I would have to argue with anyone about leaving before my health is better.
I rush over to Andrés's house and knock on the door. Normally, I would just walk in since I have a key to his house. However, I decided it was best to knock since the last time we talked I had a panic attack.
The door opens and I see a female with a white sunflower dress who has long ginger hair with brown eyes. She stares at me with a cold gaze as she looks at me down and up.
I try to hide the medical gown that I am wearing with no luck.
I look at her and notice that I have never seen her before in the pack. Could she be Andrés' fiancés?
"Can I help you?" She asks as she moves her hand over her stomach. I could see that she was now showing a bump on her stomach.
I confirm my suspicion that she was, in fact, Andrés's fiancés.
Andrés and I are about two years apart so there was no extreme age gap which I was happy for. Yet, having a baby was a hill that I couldn't climb.
My fears came back as I asked myself: how could I compare to Andrés' ex-girlfriends? Or even to Andrés' finance?
"Can I speak with Alp-- I mean Andrés?" I ask her. I could sense that she wasn't a werewolf, so I decided it would be best not to call Andrés Alpha around her.
"Sorry, you just miss him. He left to do something," she responds.
"You can leave a message if you want," she continued. Her hands are still around her pregnant stomach. Was the baby Andrés?
I tried to call his phone. It goes straight to voicemail. Then, I try again. No answer again.
"Neverminded, I will come back later," I said to her and quickly turned around toward my house.
I need time to clear my head. Maybe just leave for a couple of days, so I can think better.
My wolf whines as I move farther away from Andrés's house. I try not to look back.
I make it home and quietly open the front door to grab my car key. Also, I go up to my room to check up on Liam. It was late at night, so Liam was sleeping in our room. I kissed his head and headed out the door again.
I wasn't sure where I was going. The only thing that I did know was that I had to leave.
I got into my car and turned it on. I need to give away from everything because it was all just too suffocating right.
Half of me wants to confront Andrés and his fiance about what in the world was happening. I'm Andrés' mate, not her. The other half of me was too scared about Andrés' response.
A row of hot tears falls from my eyes and every time I wipe them off more replace the old tears.
My phone rings and Andrés' name pops up as the caller ID. I decide to not answer the phone call as I escalate the car to run away from everything.
I can't have children, but she can.
I look over to my phone that is ringing again, this time it's my omma calling. I let my phone ring again and again. I'm scared of what happens next.
Do I just pretend that Andrés doesn't have a fiancé and that the baby is not his?
What is the point of answering if I know what they will tell me?
I look at my rearview mirror and I notice a car that has been driving too close to mine. I decided to change lanes to see what they do.
They move to the left lane just like I just did. Then, I pass a car and they also pass the same car.
I go even faster, hoping to try to find a place I could stop at. Such as a store or gas station but I haven't seen one for over twenty minutes. There are just a lot of trees everywhere.
Suddenly, I see an animal crossing the road. The car behind me is too close, so I can't stop.
I tried to change lanes and my car by swerving, so I wouldn't hit the dog. Even when I try to change lanes the other car won't let me.
There was nothing more I could do than close my eyes and hope for the best.
When I opened my eyes, I was in a ditch. I tried to open the safety belt, but it won't open.
I felt pain in my shoulder getting stronger again and my head was dripping blood from my forehead. Also, the airbag didn't deploy and my head hit the steering wheel hard.
I hear the other car stop and the door slam shut.
I try to hit my window to call for help. Everything just hurt so much.
I look out of my window, but all I see is a bright light shining in my eye. Maybe it's the police or someone that can help me get out of here.
My werewolf strength was not working. The pain was getting stronger by the second. I couldn't move at all.
"Why do you have to get in the way, Ethan?" Ask the voice.
I hear three heartbeats.
Then, the gun go off and I feel nothing at all.
