LAURA'S POV “You look so ridiculous” Laura said as she continued to laugh at Ricky. Coffee was all over the place, and the coffee mug rested on Ricky's head. He felt embarrassed, he got up and dropped the mug on his desk.“This is so sticky” he said, using his fingers to sweep the dripping coffee off his forehead and flinging it away. He looked at Laura, who was still laughing and smiled. She looked beautiful, it was the first time he ever saw her laugh like that.“You can stop laughing now” he said, and she struggled to seize her laughter. Their eyes met and she blushed.“You should take a bath and wash all that off” she said, walking to the closet. She pulled out a bucket and a mop. She entered the bathroom, filled the bucket with water, and came out to mop up the coffee.“Thanks for helping me clean. I'll take a shower quickly” Ricky said and entered the bathroom. Laura stared at him until he disappeared into the bathroom. She wondered what had come over Ricky all of a sudden.He

THIRD-PERSON POV “What are you talking about?” Melo blinked at Ricky, who smirked at her. With his hands behind him, he walked over to her, and stood directly over her, peering into her soul, through her eyes. She felt her heart sink into the stomach as she struggled to keep eye contact with him.“You know exactly what I'm talking about” Ricky said in a husky voice. Everyone was surprised and couldn't wait to find out what was happening.“Ricky, what is all this embarrassment for? Why are you doing this? First you call off our marking ceremony, now you're belittling me in front of everyone!” Melo screamed, trying to act like she didn't know what Ricky was talking about.Ricky chuckled and passed his fingers through his hair.“So… Do you want to stand here and lie to my face? I hope you haven't forgotten who I am and what I can do to you” he paused and lowered his head to her face, making sure she felt his breath on her.“I won't hesitate to have my gammas strip you and torture you un

LAURA'S POV"Good morning my lady" Laura opened her eyes only to see two Omegas standing at the foot of her bed, each holding a tray filled with different lotions, perfumes and what looked like clothes.She was surprised because that has never happened before. She wondered what they wanted."Good morning" she rubbed her eyes and sat up on the bed, still covered with a blanket."My lady, it's time for your bath" one of them, the blonde one said. She looked around the room and back at the Omegas. Were they referring to her? As 'my lady?' "Why?" She asked."The Lycan King ordered us to" the dark haired one replied with a smile.Laura was surprised. Why would Ricky ask them to give her a bath? What's the special treatment all about?"Um.. okay then" she answered and reluctantly got out of the bed.The ladies led her into the bathroom where they had already run a warm bath. She got rid of her clothes and climbed into the bathtub. The ladies poured in some of the scented oils into the wa

LAURA'S POV Ricky sat next to Laura in the lobby, where they were waiting for Andy. She turned to him and noticed how pale he looked. She felt bad that he had to risk his mental and emotional health to bring her to the hospital. “Are you okay?” She asked. He turned to her and nodded. He shifted his gaze to the glass window, it was still raining, but it wasn't so heavy anymore. “You didn't have to get in the rain because of me” she added, folding her arms across her chest.“What should have I done? I had no idea what was wrong with you, so I had to bring you here, to make sure you're alright” he explained and she looked away. She didn't like what her heart was doing. It was pulling her to the same man who tortured her.Laura tried to resist, she really tried.“Thank you” she murmured, and he chuckled at her childish behavior.“It's alright, don't thank me. I'm just glad you're fine” he said and she sighed.“You should change into some warm clothes, it's cold” she pointed out. Ricky

GOVA'S POV “So what are you going to name the baby when it's born?” Gova asked, expertly cutting onions into a pot of soup.“Really? The pregnancy is barely two months old, and you're talking about a name?” Laura questioned, watching her cut the onions.“Oh please! If it's a boy, we'll call him Ryan” Gova beamed, ignoring what Laura had said earlier.“Seriously? Why Ryan?” Laura asked.“Because I've always wanted a baby brother, called Ryan” she giggled.“And if it's a girl?” Laura was curious.“Then we'll call her Maya… Gova shrieked, and Laura couldn't help but laugh.“Sounds nice, though. Let's wait until it's born” she stated and Gova nodded.“I'm going to get some sleep. I'll check on you later” she said, walking out of the kitchen.“You're always sleeping. Lazy pregnant woman” Gova stuck out her tongue and Laura giggled before leaving for her room.“Maya…" Laura repeated, laying on the bed. She touched her tummy and closed her eyes. She felt a connection, between her and her ba
