Avery’s POV
I don’t want Avery. I just want the child. Not her. Never her.
The words repeated in my head like a broken record. Over and over and over until I couldn’t hear anything else.
He had come back for the baby. Not for me.
How long had he known that I was pregnant? Did he know before Asher took me? Did he scent it on me? Was that why he had come back? To get his heir?
All of it… it was all for an heir. A way to continue his bloodline. I was just the vessel carrying his child. Nothing more. I should have known from the beginning. I supposed I did. I’d always suspected that he only kept me around because he wanted a mate and heirs. Not out of love.
Now, I was almost certain.
Maybe that was why he’d slept with that woman without a second thought. Temptation had taken hold of him
