I could feel him tense as he held me, then he released me from the hug and quickly unlocked his phone. He glanced up at me with a sigh. “Jas, I really have to go. We'll talk later. If you need anything, just call me.”
I watched as he hurried away without waiting for my response. Even though I was his mate, Mira had a higher priority than me. They had fallen in love some years ago, but when Mira found her mate, she broke things up with him, and moved to her mate's pack in London.
I couldn't sleep as several thoughts roamed my mind. I couldn’t keep doing this to myself, it was obvious that Liam prioritized Mira over me. I had to move on with my life, and give the baby the best care it deserved.

My eyes flew open as intense pain flooded through me. I gasped as a sharp, stabbing sensation shot through my stomach.
“Liam! Something is wrong with the baby!” I cried out frantically, my voice breaking.
Silence answered. I turned my gaze to where my mate, Liam Hunter, should have been, lying beside me on the bed—only to find the space empty. He wasn’t back from Mira’s place.
