I was completely shocked when I found out I was six weeks pregnant. I couldn't believe it! How did this happen? Now I don't know what to do.

Should I tell Alpha Valdo about this? Will he refuse to divorce me because of the baby? I don't think so. He'll probably think I'm using the child to manipulate him.

Feeling frustrated, I quickly put the ultrasound report in my bag and left the hospital. Outside, I saw a fancy car called a Maybach with one window slightly open. I could vaguely see an attractive man sitting in the driver's seat with a cold expression.

A handsome man in a luxury car would definitely get a lot of attention from people passing by. Alpha Valdo Dawson was rich and good-looking. After many years, I had gotten used to people staring at us. Ignoring them, I got into the car's front seat.

When the man, who had his eyes closed, felt me getting in, he furrowed his brow. Without opening his eyes, he asked in a deep voice, "Is everything taken care of?"

"Yes!" I nodded and handed him the contract I had signed with the hospital. I said, "Dr. Thomson sends his greetings to you." I had planned to sign the contract on my own at the hospital today, but I ran into Alpha Valdo on the way. I don't know why, but he offered to drive me, saying it was on his way.

"You'll be in charge of the case," Alpha Valdo said in a brief manner. He was always a man of few words. Instead of taking the contract, he gave me those instructions before starting the car.

I nodded and stayed silent. It seemed like obeying him and following his orders were the only things I knew how to do.

The car drove towards the pack center. It was already evening, and I was confused about where he was going, if not back to the Castle. Even though I was puzzled, I didn't ask him anything. I just remained quiet.

The ultrasound report was on my mind, but I didn't know how to bring it up. I was torn about what to do, so I glanced at Alpha Valdo from the corner of my eye. As usual, he had a cold and distant aura, with his sharp and ruthless gaze focused straight ahead.

"Alpha Valdo!" I blurted out. My palms started to sweat a little, probably because I was nervous.

"Speak," he said without showing any emotion.

He always treated me like this. After a few seconds, I relaxed a bit and took a deep breath. "I'm..." pregnant.

I wanted to say the second word, but his phone suddenly rang, cutting me off.

"Camilla, what's wrong?" Some people only show their gentle and loving side to one person.

Alpha Valdo's gentle side was only for Camilla Robert. It was clear from the way he talked to her over the phone.

Camilla's words made Alpha Valdo suddenly hit the brakes, and he spoke to her in a soothing tone, "Alright. I'll be there soon. Don't go anywhere, okay?"

When the call ended, his icy expression returned. He looked at me and ordered sharply, "Get out."

There was no room for discussion in his order.

This wasn't the first time he had kicked me out of the car. So, I nodded and kept the words I wanted to say to myself. I opened the car door and got out.

My marriage with Alpha Valdo was a result of a twist of fate, but there was never any love involved. Alpha Valdo already had Camilla in his heart, so my existence was unnecessary. Maybe even an obstacle.

Two years ago, Alpha Valdo's grandfather, Hamilton Dawson, had a heart attack. While he was in the hospital, he forced Alpha Valdo to marry me. Alpha Valdo reluctantly agreed for his grandfather's sake. During those two years, Alpha Valdo ignored me except for that. Now that his grandfather had passed away, he couldn't wait to get a lawyer to draw up divorce papers for me to sign.

It was already dark when I returned to the Castle. The huge house felt empty, like a haunted house. Maybe because of my pregnancy, I didn't feel like eating. So, I went straight to my bedroom to wash up and go to sleep.

In my sleepy state, I heard a faint sound of a car engine turning off in the courtyard. Is Alpha Valdo back? Shouldn't he be with Camilla?
