Sold To The Scarred Alpha

Alpha Xander

I had just finished a meeting with the elders and I went back to my chamber to get some rest. The bed looked exactly how I left it in the morning which shows that Maliya. hadn’t cleaned my room today.

A frown spread across my face upon seeing everything exactly how I left it.

“Anyone outside?” I yelled and a maid rushed in immediately.

“Why is my room looking like this? Where is Maliya? Why hasn’t she cleaned the whole place?” I glared at the maid standing in front of me.

She shifted her weight from one leg to either as she trembled nervously

“I- the… I’ll get her right away,” she stuttered.

I felt a surge of anger course through my veins as I looked around the whole place. I liked my things in a certain way and seeing how my room was only rile me up.

“Alpha, can I come in,” someone called out, and I dismissed the maid.

“Come in.”

“Madam Rosalie is here to see you,” the maid announced.

I was certain that I didn’t send for her so I didn’t understand what she was doing here. It was unlike her to disturb me without a reason.

“Let her in,” I commanded.

“Yes, Alpha.”

The maid went out immediately and my eyes scanned the room back in disgust.

Just then, Rosalie came into the room looking a little worried.

“Alpha,” she greeted with a bow to show her respect

“What’s going on? And why is my room in this state? Where is Maliya? Why hasn’t she cleaned the whole place?” I frowned and she looked around for a while before speaking

up

“My apologies, I will send over to clean the place.” She assured.

“That doesn’t answer my question.” I crossed my arms. “What’s going on, Rosalie? Spit it out.”

She cleared her throat, her eyes avoiding mine. “It’s about Maliya.”

My gaze narrowed. “What about her? Has she been slacking in her duties?”

Rosalie hesitated, her hands clasped together. “It’s more serious than that, Alpha, Something just happened and I’m not sure if should believe it myself,” she muttered.

“Don’t keep me in the dark. Tell me what is going on,” I ordered.

“Erm… the thing is… she fainted earlier while she was working,” Rosalie cleared her throat before she continued.

“At first, I thought maybe she was suffering from a big illness seeing how the doctor kept on talking in parables, but-”

“But what, Rosalie?!” I snapped, my patience wearing tiny.

“Maliya is pregnant, Alpha. Maliya is pregnant and we both know that it can not be possible considering your health,” Rosalie said with a shaky breath and my jaw dropped,

She–she’s pregnant? That is impossible. I can not have children. That is a fate that I have come to accept. There is no way she could be carrying my child.

“Are you sure you heard the right thing?” I asked in disbelief.

Rosalie took a deep breath, her words spilling out in a rush. “We’re not sure, Alpha. I mean, did the doctor confirm that she was pregnant, but I am just as confused as you are right now.”

I stood there, my mind reeling in shock, my eyes were fixed on Rosalie as if she had just spoken blasphemy.

Pregnant? Maliya, pregnant? With my child? The impossibility of it all echoed in my mind like a cruel joke.

“No,” I whispered. “That’s not possible.”

Rosalie remained quiet as she allowed me to digest the news.

I felt like I’d been punched in the gut. The news of Maliya’s pregnancy reminds me of my stepmother and all her evil deeds.

She had made sure I would never father a child in this lifetime and it was a cruel fate that I had come to accept.

Hearing this now felt like a slap on my face–as if the life was mocking me for being infertile.

“How…?” I trailed off, my mind struggling to comprehend. “I was told it was impossible. My stepmother… she made sure of it.”

Rosalie’s expression softened, her voice gentle. “It seems the impossible has happened, Alpha.

I shook my head, trying to clear the fog. This couldn’t be real. It was some kind of mistake, but Rosalie’s words kept echoing in my mind.

“Maliya is pregnant.”

“I need to see that girl immediately and call another doctor to confirm this news. It refused to believe that she is carrying my child. This might be just a scheme to make her work reduce,” I announced.

Even I cannot believe my own words but it was the most logical excuse I could come with.

up

Seeing how she left my room untended, she probably needed an excuse to avoid being punished.

I refused to believe anything until another doctor come here and run a test on her. I have to hear it with my ear or nothing would make me believe that it was true.

Rosalie nodded and sent a maid to fetch another doctor.

Rosalie led the way to Maliya’s room and I saw her sleepy figure on the bed. She jolted up upon noticing my presence and I didn’t miss the dried tears on her cheeks.

Just then, the doctor came in and bowed to show his respect.

“You sent for me, Alpha,” he said and I nodded.

“Run a proper test on her. I need to know how she is doing,” I ordered and the doctor nodded.

“Please lie down,” he instructed Maliya, and she did.

I watched the doctor’s move like an ogle, making sure that he knew what he was doing and he didn’t make any mistake.

I watched how he raised her wrist to check her pulse. He continued to examine her for a while before he broke the silence.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

“Alpha, she is a week pregnant,” he announced. “She is in a very delicate state and her pulse is weak so she needs to get enough rest and stay away from anything that might threaten her safety or her baby.” The doctor announced, leaving me in shock.

Maliya is pregnant.
