The Tripartite Mate Bond Chapter 119: CHAPTER HUNDRED AND NINETEEN

Come on, Elena. You can't just drop a bomb like that and walk away like you're talking about the weather. I know I've been feeling a little down recently but I was pretty shaken after connecting you to Zeus and then that bitch tried to kill me. How did the baby survive all of that by the way?” I rambled on while she stared at me with a weird smile

“Calm your horses baby girl. It seems one of your mates is hell-bent on making sure you don't jump on a very beautiful dragon and ride off into the sunset to save some strangers and what's the best way to do that?”

“You realize you're randomly accusing my mates of a terrible crime, right? Or you're trying to make me hate one of my mates so you could go after them,” I accused her, my mind running to different scenarios.

She laughed at me and shook her head.

“Look, I've already apologized for that incident, okay? I felt stupid afterwards by the way and I can't do anything to hurt you after you nearly killed yourself helping me move on from my dead mate. But I know this is difficult for you to process so just go see a doctor with your meds. He'll best explain it to you. Go with Ares, he's the best out of the three,” she suggested and walked away with a pep in her steps.

She did have a point, she'd have to be a pretty wicked person to still want to hurt me after what I did for her and she literally saved my life afterwards but then, what she was saying just didn't sit right with me.

Anyone who wants to give birth to a child in the midst of all this chaos was simply dumb. I'd been taking my pills religiously and I didn't ever think we'd be having children without at least talking about it.

Why would they deceive me when it's my body and not theirs?

I found it difficult to believe, and really hoped Elena was wrong but then, she was a witch. They just had a way of knowing things and as I walked into the penthouse with my heart in my throat, I found only Axel in the bedroom studying a map.

“Hey baby, we've been trying to reach you since. You locked us out. Thank the goddess someone saw you going to visit Lyra, we'd all been terrified,” he told me but I looked at him weirdly.

What if he was the one responsible for this? Maybe he'd been acting all nice and sweet so I wouldn't suspect him.

“She's sick so I needed to go visit her. Scarlet has gone to get help from Arkonos,” I told him, my voice calm, a contrast to the raging tornado inside me.

I wasn't ready to have a baby, I would be thrilled to have my children running about the pack and growing, surrounded by love and peace but that was impossible with all the unresolved issues around me.

What if one of the people trying desperately everyday to kill me succeeded and I took the three of them with me? I'll be abandoning my child to suffer the same date or worse than I did.

Everyday, my mates ran towards danger, trying to save a dying world from the powerful horrors that plagued the supernatural world. What if one of them died and took the rest of us with him?

Whoever did this was obviously not thinking straight and I had my suspicions but since she only mentioned Ares, the other two were going to be kept at a distance.

So I ignored whatever Axel was talking about and I went into the bathroom cabinet and opened my drugs compartment.

I opened the container and I took a closer look at the contraceptives I'd been taking and then I compared it to another one that had not been opened until now

The difference wasn't so vast but a keen observation would show that they were different.

A year dropped from my eyes.

Somehow, I had been hoping that Elena was lying or something. Maybe her assumption that I and Lyra had to be pregnant at the same time was clouding her judgment or whatever other excuse.

But my discovery had solidified my fear and confirmed her assumption.

Anger and pain enveloped my mind and I couldn't hold back the tears.

Why would anyone take away the joy that came with a baby from me, using my own body against me this way?

I felt used and unloved and in that moment, I wanted out of this mate bond.

Angry and frustrated, I walked out of the bathroom and I walked into the elevator, ignoring Axel's calls for my attention.

He was running towards me when the elevator doors shut in his face, the confusion on them irritating me.

I didn't want to jump into conclusions but he seemed the perfect culprit, I just needed to talk to Ares first. He was his twin brother and he would know better.

As I walked into Kane's office with my contraceptives in hand, the expression on Kane’s face took me for a whirl ride.

I'd been suspecting the wrong person all along.

He looked like I'd come into his office with a gun while Ares stared in confusion between the two of us.

“Hey Mama, we missed you when we woke up. Where did you run off to?” He asked, coming to my side but I wasn't in the mood to be romanced.

“Lyra is not feeling well. Apparently, she's pregnant,” I said, eyeing Kane who looked like he wanted the ground to open up and swallow him.

“That's impossible. I see how you take those meds religiously and by the way, why are you carrying them? Is it finished? I can get Doctor Ben to get you refills this evening,” Ares the everloving mate suggested but I was too angry to feel the emotions he conveyed.

“But it's not, Ares. In fact, Scarlet has gone off to Arkonos to get help because some selfish mate of mine thought it a wonderful idea to knock me and consequently, my dragon as well in the middle of a war that is claiming lives every single day,” I snapped, my eyes fixated on Kane who was looking more uncomfortable the more I spoke.

“Mama, you're confusing me. Why would anyone do that or even, how? Getting pregnant in these times is indeed unwise and we are all part of a mate bond. Serious decisions like that need to be made together,” he said and immediately, Axel barged into the office.

“Hey Baby, what did I do wrong? If it's about the other day, I was gonna apologize before we all got knocked out but I'm really sorry. Wait, what's wrong? Kane looks like he's been poisoned,” he commented as he took a sweep across the office, finally reading the room.

I was livid but I was waiting for him to say something. Maybe I was wrong in some way and this wasn't actually happening but unfortunately, he just sat there, speechless.

“Aurora is saying she's pregnant, I don't get it, did you know anything about this?” Ares asked the two of them.

“Pregnant? That's impossible. She takes her meds all the time,”

“Kane?” Ares called his attention but he was sweating in the AC filled office.

It took them a few more seconds to piece together what was happening.

“You messed with her meds?”

“How dare you?”

They erupted on him and I just had to find a seat so I could process the betrayal.
