“Here, I have it,” Mera says, walking into the room with a pregnancy test in her hands, not looking at Wolfe even once as she comes over to me.
I’m locked in a room, like a goddamn prisoner, and nobody is speaking to me. Mera is the only person who has said a single word to me since last night, and I honestly don’t know why.
I betrayed her, too.
Yet she has this kindness that I don’t understand.
Wolfe came in this morning, with Knox by his side, and demanded Mera go and fetch a pregnancy test. She did as she was asked, even if she wasn’t happy about it. Now, she has returned, the answer right there in her hands. It could change everything. If it is negative, they’re going to kill me. If it is positive, I’m never free again.
Either way, it’s not looking good for me.
I don’t think I can convince the club to just let me go, why would they? Betrayal isn’t something they take lightly.
Thinking of how I hurt Talon kills me. I want to talk to him, to try and explain, but he hasn’t been in. I don’t know if I’ll ever get the chance to talk to him again. I’ve destroyed every chance I had at being free. Not to mention the fact that I’ll probably never get Lily out now.
“Do it,” Knox growls. “Hurry up.”
Mera’s eyes flash with anger. “At least turn your backs so she can do it with a little fucking dignity.”
The men exchange a look, and then they turn, moving to the doorway, their shoulders tense but their backs to us.
“Come on, honey,” Mera says softly. “Let’s get this over with.”
She hands me a cup, and I go into the small bathroom attached to this room. At least they have given me that.
“Door stays open,” Wolfe growls.
Mera scowls, but she doesn’t argue. She hands me the test and turns her back, too. I pee into the cup, my hands shaking, my stomach twisting with dread. Then, I dip the small white stick in and wait. I watch as it absorbs the urine, slowly creeping up the stick, every millimeter making me feel even sicker.
Then, the lines begin appearing, straight away.
Two lines. No hesitation.
Positive.
I burst into tears, gasping, “No.”
Deep down, I knew it would be positive, but seeing it there, right in my face, is nearly enough to break me. My chest clenches in a way that makes it hard to breathe and I can feel my body begin to heave, even though I have nothing in my stomach. This can’t be happening. I might be a lot of things, but I’ve done nothing in my life that is so bad to warrant this.
Mera turns, rushing over to me, her eyes falling on the test. The men at the door are facing us now, their faces expressionless.
“It’s positive,” Mera mutters. “Just like she said.”
I don’t know what to say, I don’t know what to do. Everything feels like it’s spinning out of control, and all I can think about is how much I’ve lost, how much I’ve ruined.
