Chapter 197: Forced out the truth from Reid...
Selene POV
"You’re pregnant?" Kurtis’s eyes widened with shock and then he snorted "That’s impossible unless Noah is not the father,".
"Don’t be silly, Kurtis," I wrapped a hand around my body "I’ve not been with any man since I got married to Noah, he’s my husband and I’ve been faithful you know. It’s just that everything is so confusing. I was told that I would never be pregnant for another man who is not my fated mate but...".
"Selene, did you sleep with Xavier?" Kurtis stared at me with apprehension
"No!" I scoffed glaring at him "I am not stupid the problem is, I didn’t even know about the baby, it was Kragen who told me and honestly I don’t know what to do or make of this whole thing. A child is the last thing I need to worry about. A lot is going on already and now with Noah’s accident, I don’t know what to do or what his family has planned next. I’m scared,".
"Seriously?" he rose to his feet cocking his head in my direction "You don’t know what this means?". I stared at him blankly trying to understand what he meant. "Don’t tell me you don’t know that carrying Noah’s child gives you automatic immunity. I don’t know what the Carrells have planned they will never be able to hurt anyone carrying a royal baby,".
"The Carrells’ are not embodiments of pity or mercy, Kurtis. If they think I am a threat, they will not stop until I meet the same treatment as Noah. They’ve done it before, so they won’t hesitate to do it again, I only hope that this time, they leave me alone with my children,".
"They’ve done what again?" Kurtis eyed me strangely "Is there something you know that I don’t know?"
"Th-They killed my parents, Kurtis," I stuttered trying to fight to tightness in my chest as I struggled to breathe "Nora, Noah’s sister,".
