Chapter 78: Two Choices

It was awkward to let Mimi serve me. However, as it was a direct order from our Alpha, I must comply regardless how odd it was. I smiled, knowing today I would be with Cameron again. No more frightening night as I didn’t know what our former Alpha (Elder Horace) would do to me.

At first, I thought he only wanted to prison me so Cameron couldn’t meet me. Yet, when it had been a few days, I was worried that he would torture me. If I weren’t pregnant, I wouldn’t be afraid. I rubbed my belly and sobbed. As a mother, I only wanted to protect my child.

“Anna, is something wrong?” Cameron asked. I didn’t hear him enter the bedroom. “Did Mimi say or do something that hurt your feelings?”

I shook my head but said nothing, as I didn’t want to create a rift between Cameron and his father. “No, I’m only tired.”

Cameron immediately sat next to me and scooped me until our bodies were next to each other. “I can help you relax, my love.”

I sniffled and nodded. “Yes, please.”

Then Cameron rearranged the pillows so I could lean more comfortably. He massaged my feet, legs, and thighs. I moaned when Cameron touched the inner thighs, but he didn’t stop. Cameron grinned and continued stroking my thighs.

“I’m sorry,” he said.

“For what?”

“For didn’t rescue you faster. Because my father threatened to kill you.” His voice was low and heavy. I knew how hard it was for him. Cameron loved his father, but also cared about me. “He told me about your pregnancy too. I couldn’t take any risks to place you and our pup in danger.” Cameron took my hand and kissed my fingers. “I’m sorry ….”

I wiped my tears and shook my head. “It’s not your fault. You made the best decision. I understand.”

“Oh, Anna, how can you be so kind and understanding? I promise I won’t let anyone separate us again.” He bent his head and caught my chin with a hand, then kissed my lips tenderly.

We kissed each other for a while until I moaned and touched his chest. “Cameron?”

“Yes, love?”

“I want you …. Do you still want me?” With my round stomach, I wondered if Cameron still found me attractive.

Yet he kissed my neck and opened the buttons of my sleeping dress. He kissed my chest and licked the cleavage. “Want you? I always think about you. How can you doubt I didn’t want you?”

“I’m pregnant.” I sighed and stroked my belly. “So I may not be attractive anymore to you.”

He opened my dress and rubbed my belly. Then he bent and kissed it. “You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. You are glowing, my love. Thank you for having our pup.”

His gaze was tender and loving. My heart was warm and tears flowed from my eyes.

“Hey, why are you crying? I’m not lying.”

“Maybe it’s because of the pregnancy. Lately, I cry easily.” I touched his shoulder.

Cameron held my hand and kissed the palm. Then he kissed my lips. “I don’t want to hurt our pup. Are you feeling well? I want to touch you and give you pleasure tonight, but if you are too tired, I can wait until you feel better.”

I shook my head. “I want you. Please remind me again that I’m yours.”

“You are mine and nothing will change it. You are my mate, my heart and soul.” Then Cameron kissed my lips.

I wrapped my hands around his neck, then I massaged his nape and scalp. Inhaling his scent, I sobbed. “I miss you. I’m so happy tonight I can be with you again.”

“From now on, you will be here with me every night.” He hugged me and kissed my forehead. “I won’t let anyone hurt you again.”

“But what about Lisa? She is your mate and the Luna of our pack. We can’t be together, as it will be a humiliation for her.”

I didn’t know what Elder Horace would do if we stayed together. He might harm my pup. It was impossible for me to live in Cameron’s house. Tonight was the only exception. Tomorrow I would return to the Omegas’ House.

“Tomorrow I will have a meeting with the Elders. I will let them know what Lisa, Bill, and Elder Fred have done. After knowing what they did, I think they won’t be any obstacle for us to be together.”

I shook my head. “But she is your Luna. If I stay with you, how can she accept it?”

Cameron touched my face and rubbed my cheek. “You don’t need to worry about it. Everything will be clear tomorrow.”

I sighed because it was a terrible situation for all of us. Lisa was a victim of her father and her brother. Both Cameron and Lisa were the victims of the peace treaty. Then Nate and I were also the victims in this matter. There were only two solutions. First, Lisa would return to her pack and end her relationship with Cameron so I could be Cameron’s mate. She could continue her relationship with Nate. Second, I could leave the pack.

I pondered both choices. The more I thought about those, the more workable the second choice was. Because the first option would have a huge impact not only for the four of us, but also for the two packs. I closed my eyes as I wanted to weep.

After losing Cameron in the past life, should I lose him again? It was a second chance for us, but could I be selfish and grab my happiness? Knowing it would cause conflict for both packs, I didn’t know if I could be happy, as I would be the reason for many problems in the future.

“Hey, what are you thinking?” Cameron touched my face.

I shook my head and gave her my smile. “Nothing. I only think about how much I want to spend the night with you.”
