Grace"God, what's wrong with me?"This was the fifth time when I threw up. I even skipped my job because of my bad stomach."I was fine till last week then what happened to me."I could hardly eat the sandwich I made today. It was my favorite cheese sandwich but today its smell even disgusted me. Confused and angry, I deliberately swallowed and that’s when I started throwing up. But it wasn’t today but has turned into a routine. I ignored it earlier but today is the third day.Disgorging the contents of my stomach, I finally washed my face and leaned against the sink. I had a terrible headache. Double trouble."Mum, please help." Clutching my head, I dragged my feet to the bed and plopped on it with a thud. I was feeling too weak."Maybe I should see a doctor."I quickly retrieved my phone from the nightstand when the doorbell of my apartment chimed."Oh, no."I am already so tired and now I got a visitor too. Great.Grunting in pain, I somehow managed to reach the door. The person o

"So that's why you came here," Adam spoke with a sigh. Grace gave him an imperceptible nod while keeping her eyes glued to the ground. After getting exposed at the hospital, Grace had nothing to hide anymore. Was there even anything left? He'll probably start hating her and cut his ties with her or support her which was nearly impossible. Grace decided to be honest with him and told him everything. How her heartbreak led her to trust a stranger. A profound silence swept in the room as Adam mulled over her words. It was really too much to digest. Grace on the other hand bit her lips. Tears of shame filled her eyes. She hated to be in such a situation. "I-I know it's too much and you must be hating me right now. But I-I didn't have the strength to reveal my past. It is traumatic for me too and I was so busy in getting my life back on track that I completely forgot about it." Her last words were an innuendo of that sinful night. She had never thought that she was carrying his seeds the

"Here you go"Grace chimed as she handed the latte to the man. Her pink-tinted heart-shaped lips were curved in a beautiful smile that melted him. He took the cup from her hands and Grace quickly turned around to prepare another set of orders. She expected him to go but to her surprise, he remained rooted on the spot while eyeing her with admiration.Grace was slightly flustered."Uhmm, Sir do you need something?""Your number, love. Can you give me?" He blatantly asked. Grace was caught off guard."Nope, buddy. She is off-limits." A deep voice answered him. The man was puzzled but soon his gaze turned to a glare when Adam came near Grace and snaked his right arm around her waist pulling her closer.His hold was possessive and the look on his face was threatening. The man felt intimated by that 6 ft hulk and quickly scurried away. Once he left, Grace shot her head up and threw Adam a glare."What was that for? You can't behave like this with the customer." She was annoyed.Adam chuckl

To say Grace was shocked would be an understatement. She was terrified out of her wits, not because Xavier was a werewolf but because she was one too. And that only led to one conclusion.He knew who she was.There wasn't a tiniest bit of doubt in it because no werewolf would reveal his secret in front of a mere human. Grace cried internally but her tears expressed her misery to Xavier who was still celebrating his victory."I was ready to turn the whole earth upside down and would have set it on fire if I hadn't found you."His words added to her trauma. Werewolf or not, the man was a completely gone case. And that gave a valid reason for Grace to run away.Suddenly something cold contacted her skin which grabbed her attention. Grace peeked at it through her peripheral vision. It was a candle holder. A perfect weapon which she could come as handy.While oblivious to her plans, Xavier was busy marveling at her beauty. Grace was startled when he suddenly dropped his whole weight on her

"Stop crying. It's not good for the baby, An." Adam spoke comforting words in her ears while hugging Grace tightly who was sobbing like a child. The tip of her fingers had turned white due to how hard she was clutching his shirt.The poor soul was traumatized. Xavier’s return was a brutal reminder of how dark and haunting her future would be. She had tried so hard to protect herself and her baby from his hawkish eyes but now she had seen his strength. The power he holds, he’ll be able to find her even from the core of the earth."He found me Ad. There's no way I can trick him. He will drag me from the claws of death too. I can never win against him." Grace cried and buried her face in his shoulders.Adam caressed her hair. He was bristling with rage but at the same time, he was worried for her.Adam was shell-shocked when he found Grace on his door, shivering like a leaf. Unruly hair, face soaked with tears, face pale as if she had seen a ghost. He was eager to punish the culprit who
