Author' s pov Alpha Damien's voice was rough. Each word was hard for him to say. If she hadn't told him that she and Ethan had slept together on the 27th, he would have let her keep the pup. They had lost a pup two years ago. He didn't even know it existed before it died. The memory of her being thrown out of the pack house, suffering alone, filled him with guilt. But now, there was a fifty percent chance this pup wasn't his. Last night, she had been ready to leave with Dave to find Ethan.She knelt at his feet, begging for Dave's life. She looked so desperate that he almost strangled her. "Alpha Damien... Miss Aria's body is very weak. She's had a miscarriage before, and now..." Dr. Rowan stopped, watching Alpha Damien's reaction. Alpha Damien closed his eyes.
