"How is it possible?!" Jess murmurs again, the question spilling from his lips over and over, looping in his mind without an answer that makes any sense.
He had wanted this... Tanner becoming the leader. It had felt right. Tanner fit the role, more than anyone else. More that all those alphas who ran around crazily for power.
But now, staring at what just happened, Jess feels like a fool. Betrayed. Deceived. Like the lowest person alive, carrying a child he didn't even understand the origin of.
How could this be happening?
The child was supposed to be Eryx's. Tanner's child had been lost, he had felt it. He remembers the ache, the emptiness when that child was gone.
And when he had been with Eryx, he had felt it again, the stirrings of pregnancy. He was sure.
He hasn't been with Tanner. Not romantically. Not even physically. They haven't even crossed paths from a distance.
So what kind of game is this?
How did he end up pregnant with Tanner's child again?
