Chapter 555
"And what time did you get to the bar? I'll try to get the security footage from that night," Taylor told me.
I'm not sure why I didn't think about that sooner.
Running my hands through my hair, I muttered, "We got to the bar a little before
9."
There was more typing on the other end of the phone.
"Can I ask, suddenly, why you are looking into this?" Taylor asked. "It's been weeks since the meeting."
I was quiet for a moment, my eyes drifting back to the hospital room door, a deep- rooted worry festering in the pit of my
stomach.
"Because I might have gotten her pregnant."
Third Person POV
Rachel sat in the hospital bed, watching as Gavin stormed out of the room. Her chest felt heavy, though at the same time, she
was elated. She was pregnant with a baby; this was the perfect opportunity to trap Gavin into mating with her. Once he makes
her his Luna, the entire pack will fall at her feet; she will be able to get all the information needed to take over his company once
and for all, and then bring it to the ground.
"Since you are not the mate of the Alpha, the baby will need a paternity test once it's old enough," Dr. Pierce continued, making
Rachel's heart thud even faster in her chest. "It's just for precaution."
"Of course," Rachel said; a paternity test was easy to fake; it would be no issue getting fake results.
After a few more words from the doctor, she too left the room soon after. The second Rachel left the room, a slow grin spread
across her lips as she grabbed her phone off the table beside the bed. She scrolled through her phone until she found the
person she was looking for.
"About time you called me," he said, his tone low and dangerous, sending a shiver down Rachel's spine.
"Aw, have you missed me?" Rachel teased.
"You've been there for over a month," he growled. "I expected to hear from you much sooner. Why are you now just contacting
me?!"
"Jealousy isn't a good look on you," Rachel practically purred. "Didn't I tell you to trust me?"
"Don't test me right now," he seethed. "I need an update on your progress. Are you sticking to the plan?"
"Yes, I'm sticking to the plan. I'm glad to report that I'm in the hospital right now... just found out I'm pregnant."
"With whose baby?" He asked through his teeth.
"Some humans... just as promised," Rachel said with a chuckle. "Don't worry, I won't let Gavin truly touch me. I'm not his to
touch. I only belong to you, My Love."
"Yes," she replied. “I made him think it was during a drunken one-night stand, one he barely remembers anything from that night.
This is a perfect plan, just like I told you it would be."
"What will you do with the baby once it's born?" He asked.
Rachel rolled her eyes.
"I don't know; maybe give her away for adoption or something. Does t really matter what happens to it? It'll be hatt human...
that's practically useless to us. There's a chance it'll never get a wolf."
"True, but right now that baby is the ticket to get into the Landry corporation. If he thinks that baby is his... he'll think it's the heir.
We need to tread carefully if we want to pull off this mission."
Rachel grinned, her fingers splaying across her still flat belly. The thought of taking over the Landry Corporation as her in a
choke hold and her heart racing with excitement.
"Trust me, love. I know exactly what I'm doing. Gavin might be wary of trusting me right now, but once hez comes to terms with
the fact that I'm pregnant with his baby, he'l come around and start accepting me as his chosen mate."
"You better be right," he growled. "I'm putting a lot of resources into this."
Rachel giggles.
"It'll be over before you know it. Then once I'm done here and Gavin
Landry and his company are officially destroyed, I'll be right back
there, warming your bed and being your mate just like we always planned."
There was silence on the other end before he heaved a sigh.
"Just call me regularly to keep me updated. Don't keep me waiting again, Lila."
"Wouldn't dream of it, Alpha."
