Pregnant By My Best Friend Alpha Chapter 137

Kyra’s POV

I ran toward my car. Tears threatened to fall, but I held them back. Soone grabbed my elbow. Nathan turned around. He was breathing hard. His face looked worried and scared.

"Kyra, it’s not what you think—" he said desperately. He held my arm tightly but gently.

"I’m sorry," I said.

My throat felt tight. "I didn’t an to walk in. I just..."

"Kyra, listen." His eyes searched mine. "Sophia and I are nothing. We broke up years ago. I don’t love her."

"We broke up years ago too," I whispered.

He loosened his grip a little. He stared at my face. "I want us to try again. I’ve wanted that since I saw you again."

"This isn’t the right ti—"

"I can’t wait anymore, Kyra." His voice broke. "I didn’t kiss Sophia. She forced it. She ca to my office and did that. Please, believe ."

I looked at his eyes. I could see love there. I could see his fear of losing . I knew when Nathan lied. I knew when he told the truth. After all these years, I still knew him.

"Why should I believe you want back, then kiss her the next day?" I asked quietly.

"Because I’m not that guy," he said. "I’ve never been that guy. You know , Kyra."

I pulled him close and kissed his cheek. I wanted to kiss his lips, but Sophia had been there.

He stayed still. Then his hand touched my back. It felt good.

"Am I forgiven?" he whispered. His breath was warm.

I stood on my toes. I moved close to his ear. "Give ti. Let’s fix our problems first."

Our eyes t. I saw hope in his eyes. He swallowed hard and nodded slowly. "Promise you won’t stop loving ."

I smiled sadly. "I can’t stop loving you, Nathan. My wolf picked you long ago. I tried to stop but I can’t."

He stared at my lips. "I want to mark you right now."

I touched his cheek. I felt his stubble. "Get rid of Sophia, Nathan. Get rid of everyone keeping us apart. Snow and I want to be happy."

"I will. Please wait for ," he begged. "Don’t get tired. Don’t stop loving ."

I closed my eyes. He took my hands and kissed them.

I didn’t care about the people watching us. I needed to feel him. I wanted him to promise it was only .

"Goodbye for now, Nathan."

He looked into my eyes. He nodded. "Goodbye, my love."

I stared at him, then got into my car. I looked back once. I drove away feeling peaceful.

The peace ended fast. As I turned the corner toward my building, my heart stopped. Huge flas swallowed the tower. My daughter was inside.

My mind went wild and I could only think about Snow. I parked badly and ran toward the fire, but firefighters blocked .

"Ma’am! You can’t go inside!" one shouted. He held back.

"NO! MY DAUGHTER! SHE’S INSIDE. LET THROUGH!" I scread.

Tears stread down my face as I fought the firefighters, but they were too strong. Sylvia fought inside because she wanted to shift. I slapped and clawed at them while screaming my daughter’s na. I couldn’t think straight—only my baby mattered. I would jump into the fire for her; I couldn’t lose her—I’d die first.

"KYRA!" Soone called behind .

I spun around. Emily was there.

I grabbed her arms. "Emily, help . My daughter... she’s inside."

"Kyra, no. She’s not inside. She’s with ." Emily’s voice was calm.

I breathed shakily. I wiped my cheeks quickly. "Where is she?"

She touched my hair. "She’s safe, Kyra. I took her to the hospital. She breathed in so smoke but she’s fine. Ana’s with her."

I broke down crying. "Thank you. Thank you so much, Emily."

"I figured you’d co when you heard. I rushed back here. Sorry I didn’t call. I panicked when the fire started."

"I want to see her. Now."

"We’ll use my car. I’ll drive."

I followed her. I looked back at the burning tower—my ho was gone. But I almost lost my daughter.

When we reached the hospital, I ran to Snow’s side and wrapped her in my arms. She was scared but awake, and the doctor said there were no problems—she was healthy, just shaken up. I was going back to Snow’s room when I saw Nathan running toward with a pale, worried face.

He was breathing hard when he stopped in front of . "I heard what happened. How’s Snow?"

"She’s safe," I said.

He let out a breath. "Thank the Moon Goddess! And you? Are you okay?"

My phone vibrated. I saw the number.

I looked at Nathan. "Let’s talk later. I need to take this call."

He nodded. "Can I see her?"

I smiled. "Of course. She’d like that."

I went to the ergency stairwell. I answered the call. "How dare you call after what you did?"

[What?] Kieran sounded confused.

"Don’t act innocent, Kieran!" I hissed. "I know how evil you are! You hurt people without caring. Tell ! Were you planning to kill my daughter?"

Silence.

"Stop trying to hurt people I love, you monster!" I spat.

[How sure are you that it was ?] His voice was cold and angry.

I laughed bitterly. "You’re the only one who threatened my daughter, Kieran! She’s just a child! How could you?"

[It wasn’t , Kyra! I called because I was worried about you! I wanted to check you were safe, and this is what I get?]

"Don’t play for a fool! You’re selfish. You only think about yourself. You’d even hurt a child—"

[I can’t harm anyone close to you, Kyra, because I’m scared you’ll hate more!]

I laughed. "You expect to believe that?"

[You have to because it’s true.] His voice grew weak. [Yes, I threatened you. But I can’t touch anyone close to you because I know you’d hate more! I’m so fucking in love with you and I’m ruining myself because I can’t live without you!]

"You can’t bla for your twisted actions!"

[I’m not blaming you!]

I swallowed hard. I made fists. "You can’t manipulate again."

[I’m selfish! A bastard, and I’d kill for you. But hell, Kyra! Even when I saw you kissing him today and looking at him like you used to look at ... I couldn’t do anything because I want you to forgive . Why can’t you see I regret everything now? Why?] His voice sounded desperate and panicked. I started to doubt myself.

I took a deep breath. "I’ll never believe you again, Kieran. Turn yourself in. Pay for your cris. Maybe then I’ll think about forgiving you."

[I’ll find whoever did this to you,] his voice was suddenly calm and scary.

[I swear, I’ll find who hurt what’s mine and make them beg for death.]

The call ended. I stood there shaking. I wasn’t sure if I believed him, but sothing didn’t add up. If not Kieran, then who wanted to harm my daughter?
