Chapter 66
\- Jason -
I slowly walked into the hospital room where Aria was laying unconsciously on the bed
I folded my hands into a fist as I struggled to hold in the emotions that flooded in
I caused this. If not for my stupid ego and whatever rule and boundary I had spoken about I would have prevented it
"Goodness, I didn't know it was that bad," someone muttered behind me and I almost forgot Alexei was there with me
"I am sorry," I said within myself as if she could hear. "I am so sorry Aria."
"What will happen now?" Alexei asked. "She is no longer having Marcus's baby. Is she to remain Luna?"
I turned my head slowly and looked at him.
Seriously? Was this the time to ask that?
"I need to be left alone right now, and I don't want to hear anything. Just leave."
"Alright, Alpha," he said and quietly walked out.
Even though I didn't want to think about that, Alexei was actually right.
I took Aria in and marked her for only one reason. And that was because she's carrying the only seed of Marcus and I wanted that to be part of my vengeance on him
Now she's lost the baby, and there was no way we could go about it any other way, unless she returned to his pack to have any engagements with him, definitely risking her life and pride.
It would be selfish of me to even have that as an idea
But will I have to do away with her now that I can't achieve what I wanted?
How would she feel? I didn't want to think about it. At least not now. We'd deal with that after she's gotten better
\- Natasha -
My phone rang and I looked at it with a small smile creeping on my face
It was a call I was expecting.
"Tell me," I said immediately I took it.
"It is done," Doctor Kira said on the other end and my smile widened
"She's lost the baby?" I said just to be certain
"There was no way that baby was going to survive that," she said.
"There is no pregnancy then," I stated.
"That is right," she confirmed.
"Good job, Kira," I commented to her. "Very good. At least, your old ass is still good for something. How is the Alpha taking it?" I wanted to know.
"Not good at all," she said and I huffed. "He's been by her side. Looking very hurt and battered. It was almost like when he lost his first wife."
Now I scoffed. Does this Doctor know what she is talking about? Should Jason care about some woman he hasn't known for a year and her bastard child as much as he cared about Elena? How ridiculous.
"You can't compare it to that," I said. "There's no way. That child is not even his."
"Well, I am only saying what I noticed. He's not left her side since then."
"Oh, he'll be over it as soon as he finds another way to go about the things he needed her for. He'll be fine."
"I hope so," the doctor said. "What if he wants to make a thorough investigation to know what happened?"
"Didn't you have it fixed already? You told me that the drug cannot be easily traced."
"Yes, and that was what we told the Alpha when he asked. I am just saying, in case he still wants to do any findings aside from that. You know how the Alpha can be."
"Don't worry about it," I told her. "You do what you need to do to cover things at the hospital, and I will take care of things here."
"Alright."
"And Aria? How is she doing?" I asked with a satisfied grin on my face.
"She's still unconscious, slowly recovering from all the blood loss."
Oh, I cannot wait for her to be up and find out what happened.
"Be the good doctor you are and do everything to resuscitate her, will you?" I said. Doctor Kira went quiet for a while.
"Sometimes I wonder what you are really up to. I don't understand many things."
"You don't have to. Just do as you are told. I'll talk to you later. I have things I need to attend to right now."
"Anything you say," she said. "You are the boss.
Yes I am, I smiled to myself. I have always been. I call the shots here, and Aria is about to learn that the hard way.
She would have saved herself and that pathetic baby in her womb, all these troubles
But she chose to stay because she liked the idea of power
Very well then, she has to learn too that power comes with sacrifice and pain
"Let me know if there are any updates," I said to the doctor before ending the call
It was time to put up the perfect act and go in there like I knew nothing about it
Then even went to comfort the Alpha of the loss which was particularly not his
He should be glad I am doing him the favour of not letting him play the man and father in the lives of total strangers
When Aria gets out of the coma too, I will come to her with the condolences, while I enjoy her pain and agony
I laughed to myself, then frowned lightly. Aria had brought this upon herself. She called for it, she had it comin'. I tried to make things easy for her, and if she had any sense in that little brain of hers she'd have picked whatever things she had, of which she came with nothing, and left. But she stayed and even rapidly became arrogant.
She must have thought she had all it takes to bring me down simply because Jason let her have the royal sceptre.
I laughed again. Not even the royal sceptre can save her from me. Things are just about getting better right now
