Chapter 201
SONIA’S POV
I returned home in a dazed state, shocked by everything I had heard.
Even when Lydia tried to question me, I pretended not to hear at first, then I really stopped hearing her talk.
I walked past my brothers gathered at a corner, forgetting I wasn’t supposed to be out and about.
They tried to call for my attention, but again, I was too deep in my head to pay them any real attention.
As I entered my room, I shut the door with the key, and walked straight to my bathroom.
I shed off my clothes, and stepped into the shower.
Closing my eyes, I allowed the water to just fall all over me.
“A child?” I questioned in my head as I showered.
Not just any child, but a child belonging to both Ramon and me.
It only meant I had a piece of him with me. And no matter what I did, I could never get rid of him.
A single tear rolled down my eyes, asi grabbed my tummy.
If only he wasn’t such an atrocious person.
The atrocious alpha I fell in love with like the fool I was.
Who falls in love with their torturer? Was this supposed to be a classical case of Stockholm syndrome?
For the past month, I had tried to keep memories of him at bay.
Now I know why I wasn’t completely successful.
I was carrying part of him in me. How could I forget about him?
Slipping into the bathtub, I began to really sob.
I wailed my heart out, because I didn’t deserve any of this.
Ramon loved Lorena who tried to kill me.
Lorena was also with child for him. Nothing else was true, aside from these two facts.
How was this supposed to work? Except I never tell him about this pregnancy.
What kind of person does that make me? A terrible one?
Sure not as terrible as alpha Ramon, and everything he put me through.
I held on to my tummy, and cried until I could barely feel my heartbeat.
“Go away,” I muttered over and over again, but I didn’t know what I wanted to leave.
“Just go away,” I begged with all of my heart.
Why was life so unfair? Why did I have to go through so much?
I wanted to accept my fate, because it was the only way I could love this child.
But every time I thought of what the future held, I got scared, and resentful.
“Please moon goddess, soothe my aching heart. Please mum, help me,” I cried out, curling into a ball on the tiled floor of the bathroom.

It was in that position that I slept off.
I was awoken the next morning by a strong knock on my room door, followed by the booming voice of alpha Ferins, my father.
Jolting up, my heart began to pound, as the memories of the previous day trickled into my brain.
“Sonia!” I heard him call with a mighty growl that rattled the entire room.
I looked down on my body, and discovered I was naked.
My eyes then went to my tummy, and a wave of depression hit me.
It was a different day, my father had returned from his month–long trip, yet I was still carrying Alpha Ramon’s child.
“Sonia!” He called again.
Grudging, I pushed myself up, because I knew if he called me again, it would be after breaking down my door.
I turned on the shower, and quickly rinsed off, before I walked into the room with a towel tied around my chest.
“Sonia!”

I heard the sound of a key turn, just as I went from my towel to wearing my bathtub because I couldn’t grab a dress faster.
Well at least, my door had not been kicked down, I thought.
My father, with eyes fiercer than a burning furnace, made his way to me.
“You have to appear calm. He mustn’t know about your pregnancy. Not unt you can’t hide it anymore,” I told myself in my mind.
Taking a deep breath, I smiled to neutralize the intensity that was my father’s gaze as he approached me.
“Father, you’re back!” I called excitedly.
He paused on his motion, giving me a suspicious once–over.
“Why are you suddenly so chirpy? Your brothers told me you looked depressed last night. Where did you go, and how are you?” He asked, concern marred on the flesh of his forehead.
Alpha Ferins did have a heart. It just was difficult for outsiders to see it.
“Common father. I felt stuffed in this room. Can’t I really walk around for fresh air? Besides, it was nothing last night. I just had an upset stomach, and needed to hurry into the room. Such gossips!” I added under my breath, to sell my lies better.
I felt him start to relax, but he still kept a cautious eye on me.
“Give your father a hug,” he commanded, and I hurried into his body.
“Did you just arrive?” I asked as we pulled away from each other.
“Yes. The second your brothers told me what happened, I came to find you. But why didn’t you open the door? You must have heard me call you over and over again?” He resumed in a suspicious tone.
“Father, you can send me putting on a bathrobe. It’s your turn to answer my question. Where did you get that key to my room?” My eyes narrowed suspiciously at him.
“Don’t question me, Sonia!” He said firmly, but softened right after. “If you must know, I have spare keys to all of your rooms. As the alpha should,” he added for emphasis.
It must be great to be an alpha, I thought. You could do whatever you wanted, whenever you wanted to do it, and however you wanted it done. “I’m glad you’re home safe. I missed you,” I said.
“You did? Then dress up and come see everything I got for you. We’ll discuss after that,” he said, and my heart began to pound faster again. I could already tell it was the marriage talk all over again.

“Marriage to a stranger, or a confession about your pregnancy?” I questioned myself in
my
head.
Unfortunately, there wasn’t an answer that didn’t lead to my damnation.
