ALPHA SIN

SIN

Out of everything that I wanted to hear from her, I wasn’t expecting that. But again, it didn’t surprise me.

Nonetheless, I was curious how Laurent, and she, had done it. I hadn’t seen her with Laurent before. They never spoke.

It was confusing, and I didn’t want to assume anything yet as well because, for all I know, Emma was a liar.

“Laurent?!”

Adrina was the first to break the silence.

“He did,” Emma affirmed. “I am sorry, Sinclair. Everything I did, I didn’t know why I did it, and I wish I could see Artemisia to apologize.” She fell to the ground and sobbed harder.

“Bitch!” Adrina yelled. “Tell me you are lying about what happened between you and Laurent. He didn’t father that bastard in you?”

“He did,” Emma said. “I wish I can say otherwise.”

Adrina bristled and yanked on her hair. “I am doomed.”

I did not know what she was talking about, and listening to Emma’s tears got on my nerves.

I sighted Laurent strolling towards where we were at the end of the hallway.

He halted as his eyes stayed on mine, and he wanted to turn the corner, but I

stopped him.

Beckoning to him with my hand, I saw him grimace.

I believed he knew the reason I had called him.

As he neared, he glared at me and then at Emma.

“What now?” He grunted.

“You have some explaining to do,” I said.

“On?” He tilted his brows.

“I am pregnant,” Emma said.

“What should I do about that?” Laurent asked.

He was dismissive, and I felt sorry for Emma, but again, I shouldn’t have such a feeling about her.

She had done more than enough, and pushing another man’s baby on me was what I didn’t want.

She deserved what she was getting.

“You are the father,” Emma mumbled. “I know I didn’t tell you, and I am sorry…”

“Hold up.” Laurent did a time-out with his hands. I presumed he was just catching up with what was going on.

“You are pregnant for me?” He asked, and Emma nodded.

He tilted his head back and burst out laughing.

“We just had a freaking one-night stand, and you told me you were on pills!”

“I-I’m sorry!” Emma cried.

“Why did you lie to me? Were you trying to hold me down with a baby?!”

“I’m sorry!” She yelled again. “I wanted to get back at Artemisia for being with Sinclair. I didn’t mean to get pregnant. And I thought it would be a good thing to push everything on Sin. She was so happy, and I didn’t want that.”

“You are such an evil brat,” Laurent said. “I don’t care about the child you have inside of you because I didn’t know about it until now.”

“Please, Laurent, I am really sorry!” Emma sobbed as she moved to run after him, but Adrina yanked her back.

“At least, if you don’t care about her child, you’d care about mine as well. I am pregnant with your child, Laurent Stone.”

This was the funniest day I had ever had in my life. I know it shouldn’t be funny, but presently the situation was.

Yet, I couldn’t laugh.

Emma was pregnant with Laurent’s child, and so was Adrina.

I didn’t know why I feel they were stupid enough to let that happen.

Knowing the kind of person Laurent was, he would never accept both of them. Perhaps he’d take pity on the child and accept them, but not their mother.

Regardless, I was happy I wasn’t the one in the mess.

“Okay, this is it!” Laurent yelled after getting over the shock. “How the hell are you pregnant, as well?”

“Did you forget? Perhaps reminding you would be better.” Adrina glared at him. “The newest pub in town, the dirty Martini…”

“I want no details from you!” Laurent barked. “How the f**k did you let yourself be pregnant when you know I wouldn’t even accept you?!”

I sighed, creasing my brows. I didn’t know what to do with the two women, but only one thing was on my mind.

“Banishment,” I mumbled.

“Do you have a need for both of them?” I asked with a tilt of my brow.

“Perhaps the children they are carrying. I have no use for their mother, and I don’t want to look like someone irresponsible.”

Startled, I gazed at Laurent. He was talking about responsibility, and he looked serious about it.

It was my first time hearing him say such a thing because he had told me several times he wasn’t ready to be burdened with anything.

But him taking responsibility was the best thing I heard from his mouth.

“Very well,” I said.

I turned to Adrina and Emma, “Pick up whatever you feel is necessary in your luggage and be present in the throne hall in an hour.”

I strode away, leaving Laurent with them.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

***************

“I find both of you guilty of defamation of character. You made people see me as less of an Alpha, and you lied against me. I, Sinclair Stone, Alpha of Blue Moon Pack, hereby banish you, Adrina Merlee, and Emma Mercer from Merene and its surroundings. You shall be executed if found in any town, village, or city in Merene.”

It was my first time banishing people, and it was satisfying. I nodded toward the guards, and they marched to where Emma and Adrina stood, yanking them off the ground.

I turned to the rest of the pack. “Anyone found guilty of this will face the same punishment.” I said, before dismissing them.

After the announcement, I believe some peace settled in the palace.

No Emma to run into or even Adrina to hide from due to how cunning she was.

Everything seemed perfect again, but it wasn’t at the same time.

Artemisia wasn’t here. She didn’t know I was innocent, and she might never know.

I wished it was easy locating her. Even Mila had a hard time doing so, and each time I prayed to the moon goddess about her safety, I doubted she answered it.

Regardless, I didn’t lose hope. She left of her free will. She’d be back herself and I would willingly accept her, no matter what.
