chapter 30

•••

"I have to call Alexa." I say as I barge into the house. It's still early in the morning and everyone is still asleep except for Sebastian.

I bump into him on the stairs "Woah, woah, woah, where are you going to in such a hurry?"

Sebastian stumbles slightly as I push past him and continue up the stairs. I run all the way into my room and start looking around for my phone.

"Phone, phone, phone." I chant to myself as I look around for it. I finally find it on my bedside table charging. "Aha." I say as I pull it from it's cord. I unlock it and go straight to my contacts.

The first ring goes by, followed by the second and he picks up at the third ring. "Why are you calling me. It's three in the morning?"

I make a sound by sucking in air with my teeth. I completely forgot about the about the time distance. "I'm so sorry Noel." I whisper back.

He sighs "It's okay. What to you need?"

"I need Alexa's number."

There is silence at the other end of the line "Noel?"

"I'm here. Why do you need her number?"

"I can't explain Noel but trust me."

I hear shuffling in the background and Noel's muffled voice, "It's just Odetta babe. Go back to sleep."

"Okay, I'll text you the number in a few. Please Don't do anything reckless. Okay?" He says and hangs up.

I decide to take a quick shower and change into a dress. I'm combing my hair and thinking of the things to say to her when my phone vibrates. I hurriedly pick up my phone to see a message from Noel.

'I hope everything's alright. Text me if it isn't. This is her number *********' It reads and I quickly type back.

'Thanks. You're the best brother in the world'.

'I know :)' he replies back and I roll my eyes.

I dial her number and wait as it rings. She doesn't pick up on the first ring or the second or the third. She doesn't answer the phone at all. I let out a frustrated sigh and call the number again and this time she picks up on the first ring.

"Who is this?" She sounded sad, so fucking sad. That's not healthy for a pregnant woman.

"Alexa it's me, hope I'm not bothering you?"

"Odetta?"

I nod, "Yeah." I say as I nervously walk around my room.

She didn't say anything for a while before she finally spoke, "Are you calling to see how miserable I am." she spits out.

"What are you talking about? I just wanted to know if you're okay."

"It's been months. You could have called then not now."

"I didn't have your number."

"Don't call this line again and stay away from our family." She hangs up and I look at the phone. I dial her number again and she doesn't answer. I dial again and she answers.

"What's your fucking problem?" She almost shouts and she sounds so tired and hurt. "I don't want to get mad at you. It's not good for the baby."

I swallow, "I just wanted to tell you that if there's anything you need that I'm here."

"Why?" She whispers.

"Why what?"

"Why didn't you tell me that mason was your mate, you could've fought for him. I wouldn't have been with him if I knew."

"He made it pretty clear that he didn't want me."

"Look, I swear that I didn't know." She sounds close to tears. "He told that he didn't have a mate and he seemed so sweet and handsome that I didn't give it much thought. I loved–love him you know."

I decide to pry a little, "What happened to your mate?"

"He just up and left me one day. I don't know why?" she sighs, sadness in her voice.

"What pack did he come from?"

She doesn't say anything for a while "He wasn't a werewolf"

"A human?" I wanted her to say it.

"No a—nevermind." She murmured.

"Would it be okay if came to your pack to stay with you for a while?"

"Why?"

I remember Mason telling me that she doesn't need to know. "I just need to come desperately and I promise that I will tell you the reason when I'm there."

"I'm not sure—" She drawls.

"I know you don't trust me Alexa but this time, trust me."

She sighs in defeat, "Will you be okay with that? You know with the whole mate and attack thing."

"I don't mind you know."

"How about you come in the next six days. I could get the place ready for you by then."

"Well them, It's a done deal. I'll be there by Tuesday."

"Good Bye." she doesn't wait for me to reply to her and she hangs up.

I look at the time. '6:57'

There is definitely no one awake making breakfast and I'm so hungry. Maybe except Sebastian but I'm not sure he's back from training with the pack guards. I shrug. Might as well make toast instead of starving. I go down stairs and there is no one there like I figured so I start making toast.

I sit on a stool top humming to myself ,trying to ease my nerves while waiting for my toast. After a few minutes, the toaster pops out my brown, crunchy bread. I wait for it to cool before putting it on a plate and spreading nutella on it. Casper's right, this meal will be the death of me.

"Morning Odetta."

"Morning. How was your night?"

Isabella sighs as she starts to brew her cup of coffee "I felt the baby move a bit."

"I'm so happy for you. I'm sure that's exciting. I can only imagine how happy Victor was.", I say and give her a disapproving look when I realize the meaning of her silence. Victor still doesn't know about the baby.

She sighs and stops brewing the coffee. She starts to make tea instead, "The idiot still doesn't know that I'm pregnant"

"How is he supposed to find out without you telling him?"

"He thinks I'm just gaining weight. Yesterday night he told me that I looked bigger than normal and I just wanted to scream that I'm pregnant."

"You're pregnant?"

Isabella and I both look at the door way to see a surprised, wide-eyed victor.

"How?" He breathes out.

"I believe it's through a process called sexual intercourse."

He waves my comment away, "Why didn't you tell me that you're pregnant?" He smiles and walks over to her.

"Because I wanted you to notice it. Everyone knew I was pregnant."

He caresses her stomach, "I did hear two heartbeats at time but I thought you just had irregular heartbeats or my ears were playing tricks on me."

"Well now you know." I smile at him. He didn't even look at anyone, his eyes were on Isabella's cloth clad stomach.

Will Casper look that way if I did get pregnant?

I shake my head. What the fuck? Why was i thinking of that? I finish my toast sandwich and make some for Javier.

A smile makes it's way on my face when I enter Javier's room. Half of his upper body is off the bed and his mouth is slightly open. The duvet wasn't even on his bed anymore.

I drop the plate of Nutella toast sandwiches on a table and arrange his body. I carefully put the duvet back on him. I walk around the room picking any cloth on the floor and arranging his room.

"Ody?"

"Yeah it's me." I whisper back at him.

He stretches and rubs his eyes "Good morning."

I pick up the last of his shorts that is on the floor and look at him. "I made nutella, toast sandwich"

He smiles, "Cause that's the only thing you actually know how to make."

"You're definitely your father's son." I give him a playful frown.

"But I love your sandwiches better than anything dad has made." He quickly mends.

"Nice save. Now go brush your teeth so we can eat this."

He groans out and takes his sweet time to get up from the bed and go to the bathroom. I arrange his bed when he leaves and sit on it before taking a sandwich and munching on it.
