#Chapter 57: Social Climber
Edrick
Throughout the gala, I tried not to look too long at the way Moana’s body looked in her dress -- but there was also something else that caught my eye and held my attention, even while I was busy schmoozing with other wealthy socialites to get donations for the foundation.
Her belly, which was always slim with nice curves at the waist, was a little bit rounder.
I quickly looked away as her eyes met mine, chalking it up in my head to the simple monthly fluctuations in a woman’s body; besides, if she gained a little weight, maybe it was good for her. As far as I was aware, she had next to no money before she began working for me, so maybe she didn’t get enough to eat and now her body was settling into a healthier weight.
Soon, however, I had to push aside these thoughts as it was time to give my speech. Kelly, who made a generously large donation prior to the g

MoanaEdrick’s eyes flashed with recognition as I refused a drink. I knew, then, that he was onto me. Edrick quickly disappeared into the crowd again, leaving me alone with Verona once more, but that interaction alone was enough to cause me such stress that I suddenly felt as though I was going to throw up.“Excuse me,” I said, pushing my chair back and standing. “I’ll be back in a moment.”Before Verona had the chance to respond, I quickly turned on my heel and beelined for the bathroom, holding my hand over my mouth to keep myself from vomiting. Thankfully, the bathroom was empty when I entered, and I barely made it to the toilet before the contents of my stomach poured out.When I was finished throwing up, I flushed the toilet and stood shakily, leaning on the side of the bathroom stall for a moment to steady myself before walking over to the sink. I to

EdrickI put Ella to bed myself that night. It was calming to see how peacefully she slept; if only I could have slept like that. As I returned to my room, still fuming over whether Moana was lying to me or not, I felt as though my daughter’s nanny was being suspicious.I couldn’t shake the feeling that Moana was pregnant with my brother’s baby. I knew that she went out for dinner with him the other night, and had seen him multiple times before that. For all I knew, she only ever accepted the job with me to try to climb the social classes, and now she had gotten herself knocked up by my brother. I wanted to believe that I was wrong, that she really was just sick and gaining a little weight, but I couldn’t shake the feeling that something more was going on behind the scenes.For quite a while, I tossed and turned in bed. Finally, I gave up on sleep altogether and decided to get my
Nanny and the Alpha Daddy #Chapter 60: The Billionaire’s Baby
MoanaI had just begun to drift off to sleep. Somehow, I had made it through the gala, and Edrick hadn’t pried about the pregnancy. Maybe he didn’t actually realize it after all; maybe it was just my nerves getting to me, and the Edrick I saw that night was only him being his usual abrasive and cold self.As I began to fade off into sleep, the tears on my cheek drying, I felt much more at peace. I would still have to make a decision soon, but at least I could do it in my own time.Oh, how wrong I was!I must not have been asleep for more than ten minutes at the most when I was suddenly startled awake by the sound of my door flinging open. I gasped and sat up in bed, my eyes wide and still full of tears from before and my heart racing as my fight or flight response kicked in, to see Edrick standing in my doorway.“Edrick…?” I said,

Moana“It’s your baby!” I blurted out.Edrick fell silent, his eyes wide with disbelief. Beside me, Selina gasped and clapped a hand over her mouth. Even I was shocked by my own candidness.“I-- I’ll leave you two alone,” Selina muttered. I didn’t break my gaze from Edrick, but I heard the sound of her feet scurrying toward the door followed by the sound of the door closing.Edrick was silent for the longest time before he finally spoke. “Is this true?” His voice was so low it was almost a whisper, a stark contrast from how angrily he was speaking to me before.“Yes,” I replied, nodding solemnly. “It’s yours. Five weeks along -- six, now, actually.”Edrick went silent again. He seemed to be calculating. I just hoped that he trusted me enough to
Nanny and the Alpha Daddy #Chapter 62: Like Mother and Daughter
EdrickI couldn’t believe my ears.Moana was pregnant, just as I had suspected… but she was pregnant with my child.At first, I didn’t want to believe her, but the pleading look on her face told me all I needed to know. I could tell that she was being truthful -- there was no doubt about it. But at the same time, I couldn’t quite tell if she was being truthful about her original intentions. Was this really just an accident, or did she intend on getting pregnant with my child from the beginning?I thought back to the night that we had our one night stand as I walked back to my room. I was drunk that night, so the memory was hazy, but I remembered how she seemed to be unable to resist me in the back of the car. When I took her up to the hotel room I’d booked for her, she had practically leaped on me and began kissing me all over.&nb
Nanny and the Alpha Daddy #Chapter 63: The Decision
MoanaA few more days passed after I told Edrick about the pregnancy. Not much about our relationship changed, aside from an increase in the amount of side glances he would give me throughout the day.I kept puzzling over what he had said the night I told him.He had told me, plain and simply, that he would ensure that the child had a good life here and that I could stay since Ella was already attached to me -- but he would never publicly accept the child as his own, and he would certainly never marry me.I knew from the beginning that these two things would be true, but when he said it out loud, it felt so much worse. All I wanted for this baby was for him or her to experience growing up in a loving home with two parents who also loved each other. Yes, the child would have a wealthy father who would provide everything, but money could never replace this lack of love b

MoanaSwallowing my anger over Edrick’s sudden choice to leave me at the hospital overnight and chalking it up to him simply wanting to protect his daughter, I took a deep breath and opened the car door before stepping out.I walked into the spacious lobby, where a secretary was sitting at a small desk. She shot me a confused look as I entered.“Ma’am, this is a werewolf hospital,” she said, her tone of voice sounding flat and annoyed.This angered me even more than what Edrick had said in the car.“I know,” I replied, walking up to her desk. “I have an appointment.”The secretary stared at me for a moment, looking me up and down briefly, before she returned to slowly chewing her gum and clicking around on her computer. “Name?”“Moana Fowler,

EdrickAs I watched Moana walk into the hospital, I already had my doubts. I was already uneasy enough as we pulled up to the front doors, but seeing her walk away only solidified that feeling.My wolf was just as distraught.“You’re really gonna let her do this?” he asked with a growl. “It’s your baby, too. Think about what it was like when you held Ella for the first time, and then imagine how it would feel with this new baby. You’ve always secretly wanted to experience that feeling again, and now you’re letting this opportunity get away from you.”I shook my head as I watched the doors close behind Moana, then put the car in drive and pulled out of the hospital parking lot.“I know you don’t want this to happen,” I said to my wolf out loud now that we were alone, “a
