I find the right room and quickly do my business, washing my hands when I’m done.

As I exit the bathroom, ready to head back downstairs, I hear cooing.

My body stiffens, feet freezing in place. Ears perking up, I listen for the sound again.

Is that what I think it is?

As if I’m on autopilot, I spin around on my heel and walk down the hallway in the opposite direction I’m supposed to be going.

The sound gets louder and I stop in front of a door. It’s cracked, so I push it open.

My heart races when I see it’s a baby's nursery. The whole thing is covered in pink, girly everything.

With my heart threatening to burst out of my chest and my stomach a twisted mess, I slowly creep towards the crib on the other side of the room.

And there she is, a sweet little baby lying in the crib. Her bright blue eyes look up at me, and I swear I see a little smile.

She makes more cute little baby sounds, her tiny fist reaching up towards me.

“Hi there,” my voice cracks as images of my sweet baby boy flash through my mind. He would be older than her, but only by a few months if I had to guess.

She’s so small.Would he have been this small?

I’m about to reach out and let her wrap her tiny hand around my finger when I hear something behind me.

Spinning around, I see a woman step into the room. Her eyes flash when she sees me, lips parting like she’s about to scream.

I’m over to her in seconds, my blade pressed against her throat.

Who the fuck is she? And what is she doing in my Alpha’s house? Do they already have an Omega?

Sniffing, I know right away she’s a Beta.Who the fuck is she?

If I don’t get answers right fucking now, someone is going to die.
