Chapter 183
Raven’s Pov
“No, doctor! This result is not mine!” I shouted, my voice shaking like leaves in the wind.
My hands shook as I held the edge of the desk. The room was spinning like a bad joke.
1 pushed the chair back and stood up, but I felt dizzy right away. My legs were weak like jelly.
I reached for the wall and held it tight as I tried to breathe, but my breath came out short and rough.
Pregnant?
No. That was not possible. It could not be.
“Miss Raven, please,” the doctor said calmly. He stood up from his desk and came closer, his hands in the air like he thought I would run away. “You need to sit down. You are stressed.”
“I don’t want to sit! This… this is a mistake!” My voice broke, and tears burned my eyes. The walls felt like they were closing in.
The air was too thick. I could not breathe. My wolf cried inside me, scared and confused, but I pushed her voice away.
I could not listen to her. Not now.
“Raven,” the doctor said again, softer this time. He touched my arm. His hand was firm but gentle. It made me feel a little steady. “Please… just sit.”
Something inside me gave up the fight. Maybe it was the tiredness from everything the lies, the pain, the shame, and now this.
I let him guide me back to the chair. My knees shook as I sat down, holding the chair so tight my knuckles turned white.
I looked at the paper on the table. The two lines on it felt like a cruel smile.
Positive, pregnant, carrying Alpha Ethan’s child.
“This can’t be happening,” I whispered. My voice was so low, almost gone. My heart was beating so hard I could hear it in my ears.
The doctor sat down again. His face was calm but also looked sorry for me.
Maybe he pitied me. I hated that. I did not want pity.
“I know this is hard,” he said slowly. “But this is not the end of the world.”
I laughed, but it sounded like a sob. “Not the end of the world? Are you serious?” My voice shook as it rose. “You don’t understand. I
can’t… I can’t have this child.”
He did not move. He did not judge me. His eyes stayed on mine, calm and patient. “You are young. You are strong. Many women have been where you are now.”
I shook my head hard as tears ran down my cheeks. “You don’t get it. I just… I just started to fix my life. After everything…” My voice
broke.
Memories came back of being treated like trash in the pack house, being Alpha Ethan’s prisoner, his slave, his toy. I had escaped. I

was free. And now this?
I hugged myself tight, like I was holding the broken pieces of me together. “Now this comes and destroys everything.”
The doctor sighed and leaned back a little. “Look, I am not here to judge you, Raven. But you need to be strong for yourself and for the child.”
“The child?” I said the words like poison. My hands turned into fists on my lap. “What about me? What about my life? What about my future?” My voice cracked with every question.
“Do you know what this means for someone like me? Do you know how people will look at me when they find out I got pregnant out of… out of wedlock? And with…” I stopped and bit my lip so hard I tasted blood. I could not finish the sentence. I could not say
his name.
“Alpha Ethan,” my wolf whispered inside me, soft but sure. “Our mate.”ex mate I corrected her.
I slammed the door on her voice and dug my nails into my palms until it hurt.
The doctor waited, then spoke gently. “Raven… I know you feel lost. That is normal. But before you decide anything, I need you to go home and think. Give yourself time.”
I looked up fast and stared at him through tears. “No. There is nothing to think about.” My voice was low and calm, but full of anger. “I can’t keep this child. I won’t.”
He looked shocked. For the first time, his calm face changed. “Raven… you don’t mean”
“Yes,”I cut him off, my voice louder. “That is what I mean. I can’t have this baby.
Do you understand? I can’t.” My chest rose and fell fast, my breath rough. “You won’t understand… no one will. But this” I “put my shaking hand on my stomach, feeling nothing yet but imagining everything. “This will ruin me.”
The doctor’s face softened, but his voice stayed firm. “I can’t make this choice for you.
All I can say is… don’t rush. Go home. Think about it. If you still feel this way, come back.” He paused. “I will be here.”
I stared at him, my anger and sadness like a storm inside me. His words felt like chains. Think about it. I did not need time. I knew what I had to do.
I did not say a word. I just stood up, my body heavy like I was moving in water.
I fixed my jacket, wiped my face roughly, and walked out without looking back.
Each step down the hallway felt heavier. People walked past me, but their faces were blurry through my tears. I pushed the doors open and stepped into the cold air.
It hit me like a slap, but it did not take away the pain in my chest.
I raised my hand and stopped a taxi. My hand was shaking. I got inside and told the driver my address. He did not ask questions. Thank the goddess for that. I looked out the window as the city passed by. My reflection looked back at me, pale and broken.
When I got out and paid the driver, I ran. My legs moved on their own, my heart beating fast, my breath sharp. I grabbed my keys, opened the door, and shut it hard behind me.

I went straight to my room, closed the door, and fell on the floor as I started to cry. The tears I had been holding back came like a flood. I pressed my face to my knees and cried until my throat burned.
“I can’t keep the child,” I said between sobs. “I can’t. I can’t.”
My wolf spoke again, soft and begging. “Raven… please. This is our pup. Our blood. Don’t do this.”
“Stop it!” I screamed in my head, my voice raw. “Don’t make this harder than it is.”
But she didn’t stop. “You can Chapter 183

I lifted my head and laughed, but it sounded bitter. Tears ran down my face. “No,” I whispered. “No, I am out of his life. I am not going back.
Not to him. Not ever.” My chest hurt as I said the words, but I forced them out. “And his child… I am getting rid of it.”
I wiped my face with shaking hands, but the tears kept coming.
The weight of my choice felt like a mountain on me. I curled up on the bed and hugged myself like it could keep me safe from the pain, from the truth.
But the truth shouted louder with every beat of my heart: I was carrying Alpha Ethan’s child.
And tomorrow… it would be gone.
