Andro inhaled deeply then tapped his fingertips on the table. “How does this help stop them from making good on those threats?”

I hated to say it, but honesty was the best policy. “I have no idea. I figured we could think on it. Maybe find that youngest brother to see what he knows. Or corner the middle one. Or, and this might be crazy, but we could send someone to infiltrate their family undercover.”

Andro was contemplative for a moment, the gears in his mind working at high speed. “This is good information, Louie. Nice work.”

I was too stunned to speak. Even Orsino had raised brows. An outright compliment from Andro was rare.

Pride in myself made me sit up a little straighter. “Happy to help.”

CONNOR

I didn’t even need to pee on the stick to know it would be positive. I’d been feeling a different pull to Louie for a few weeks, and whenever he was off the property, the ache in my chest was so intense, I wanted to wallow in my bed the whole day.

Some days, I did.

But I couldn’t just lie around and ignore what was happening any longer. I had decisions to make, and if I didn’t make them soon, someone else would make them for me.

I knew the rules. I’d agreed to them. I’d seen them enforced.

Whenever an omega in the harem got pregnant, there wasn’t any discussion about what would happen next. The pregnancy was terminated, and in many cases, the omega was sterilized. It was the risk we all agreed to accept when taking the job. We were meant for the alpha’s pleasure, not to bear their children.

And now, I wondered why the hell I had thought that was okay. Why did I sign the contract? Why did I think living in luxury as a fuck boy would possibly be worth the sacrifice I was making?

In my heart, I wanted a family.

Before joining the harem, I’d assumed I’d have one someday. After joining, before I’d fallen for Louie, I assumed I’d retire someday and be able to start a family of my own. I was paid well, and if I had kept my head down and didn’t make waves, I would have been able to retire wealthy at a very young age.

None of that was possible now. This baby was my one and only chance, and if I didn’t make a move, I’d lose that chance forever.

Not only that, but this was Louie’s child. Whether he wanted it or not, I did. I wasn’t gonna let anything happen to my child.

Leaving didn’t feel like an option but neither was staying. No one was gonna take my baby from me. Which meant I had to run. I had to take the chance. I might not survive it, but if I stayed and they did what they always did…I wouldn’t survive that either. Grief and a broken heart would take me from this world.

I wasn’t rich, not like the Ferrinis, but I had been paid well by the family, and I did have a bit of savings I could use to get out of town. Out of state. Maybe out of the country. I could get a regular job and live like a regular person rather than whatever I was now. The family wasn’t gonna use their resources to find one omega. I simply wasn’t important enough.

Joey had shown me that escaping wasn’t the hard part. Staying alive after that was where things got dicey.

As I started putting together a plan in my mind, I got a text from Louie. The text I knew was coming but I wasn’t looking forward to now that I had a positive test in my hand. Come to my room in 20.

There was no way I could get away before seeing him. He’d know something was wrong as soon as I didn’t show up. And really, I needed to see him. One last time.

A final goodbye, even if I was the only one who was saying it.

I quickly showered and put on a pheromone-blocking cologne in an attempt to mask any evidence of my pregnancy that Louie was likely to scent. Not all alphas would notice it this early on, but the siring father was usually the very first to know of a pregnancy. I just had to keep my secret from Louie until he went to sleep.

Then I could make my move.

I had my bag packed with as much clothing as I dared to take and a few personal items I didn’t want to leave behind. I couldn’t take it all, though. I’d leave the silly purchases I’d made on a whim. All my books and knick-knacks would be cleaned out and tossed by the household staff.

My beautiful golden pothos vines draped over my bookshelf, but that would have to stay. I let myself shed one tear for everything I was leaving behind. I couldn’t arrive in Louie’s room with a puffy, tear-streaked face.

Exactly when he was expecting me, I knocked on the door to his bedroom suite.

The door flew open, and Louie was there, looking me over from head to toe. “Hey, baby. I missed you.” His lavish grin spread across his face. The corners of his eyes crinkled as he pulled me into his arms and held me tight. “Is everything okay?”

I held him a little longer than usual and breathed in his natural scent. “Yeah, I just missed you too.”
