Chapter 555

"And what time did you get to the bar? I'll try to get the security footage from that night," Taylor told me.

I'm not sure why I didn't think about that sooner.

Running my hands through my hair, I muttered, "We got to the bar a little before

9."

There was more typing on the other end of the phone.

"Can I ask, suddenly, why you are looking into this?" Taylor asked. "It's been weeks since the meeting."

I was quiet for a moment, my eyes drifting back to the hospital room door, a deep- rooted worry festering in the pit of my stomach.

"Because I might have gotten her pregnant."

Third Person POV

Rachel sat in the hospital bed, watching as Gavin stormed out of the room. Her chest felt heavy, though at the same time, she was elated. She was pregnant with a baby; this was the perfect opportunity to trap Gavin into mating with her. Once he makes her his Luna, the entire pack will fall at her feet; she will be able to get all the information needed to take over his company once and for all, and then bring it to the ground.

She touched her belly where her future lay.

"Since you are not the mate of the Alpha, the baby will need a paternity test once it's old enough," Dr. Pierce continued, making Rachel's heart thud even faster in her chest. "It's just for precaution."

"Of course," Rachel said; a paternity test was easy to fake; it would be no issue getting fake results.

After a few more words from the doctor, she too left the room soon after. The second Rachel left the room, a slow grin spread across her lips as she grabbed her phone off the table beside the bed. She scrolled through her phone until she found the person she was looking for.

"About time you called me," he said, his tone low and dangerous, sending a shiver down Rachel's spine.

"Aw, have you missed me?" Rachel teased.

"You've been there for over a month," he growled. "I expected to hear from you much sooner. Why are you now just contacting me?!"

"Jealousy isn't a good look on you," Rachel practically purred. "Didn't I tell you to trust me?"

"Don't test me right now," he seethed. "I need an update on your progress. Are you sticking to the plan?"

"Yes, I'm sticking to the plan. I'm glad to report that I'm in the hospital right now... just found out I'm pregnant."noveldrama

"With whose baby?" He asked through his teeth.

"Some humans... just as promised," Rachel said with a chuckle. "Don't worry, I won't let Gavin truly touch me. I'm not his to touch. I only belong to you, My Love."

"But he thinks it's his baby?"

"Yes," she replied. “I made him think it was during a drunken one-night stand, one he barely remembers anything from that night. This is a perfect plan, just like I told you it would be."

"What will you do with the baby once it's born?" He asked.

Rachel rolled her eyes.

"I don't know; maybe give her away for adoption or something. Does t really matter what happens to it? It'll be hatt human... that's practically useless to us. There's a chance it'll never get a wolf."

"True, but right now that baby is the ticket to get into the Landry corporation. If he thinks that baby is his... he'll think it's the heir. We need to tread carefully if we want to pull off this mission."

Rachel grinned, her fingers splaying across her still flat belly. The thought of taking over the Landry Corporation as her in a choke hold and her heart racing with excitement.

"Trust me, love. I know exactly what I'm doing. Gavin might be wary of trusting me right now, but once hez comes to terms with the fact that I'm pregnant with his baby, he'l come around and start accepting me as his chosen mate."

"You better be right," he growled. "I'm putting a lot of resources into this."

Rachel giggles.

"It'll be over before you know it. Then once I'm done here and Gavin

Landry and his company are officially destroyed, I'll be right back

there, warming your bed and being your mate just like we always planned."

There was silence on the other end before he heaved a sigh.

"Just call me regularly to keep me updated. Don't keep me waiting again, Lila."

"Wouldn't dream of it, Alpha."
