Madeline:<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re pregnant, Madeline.\u201d The doctor sat in her seat, her eyes fixed on me as she pointed to the reports on the table. My heart stopped. I had suspected it when I missed my period, but I hadn\u2019t dared to accept the truth.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you know who the baby\u2019s father is? Is it your fated mate?\u201d she asked in a soft but firm tone, tapping the tip of her pen on the reports.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
I was shaking under my oversized hoodie, my sleeves pulled so far down that only the tips of my fingers were visible.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Waiting for the results had knotted me with anxiety, and now that they were in front of me, even breathing felt heavy.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
My mind spun with a thousand questions. What would happen to me now? The doctor would tell the alpha, and then what would happen?<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
My heart sank. The council would be furious. An 18-year-old girl without a wolf or mate getting pregnant was enough to shake the entire pack. That was unacceptable. The doctor\u2019s eyes said it all, she was judging me.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTell me, Madeline, you do know you are the daughter of an omega, right? And they spend their entire life savings on your education, and this is how you repay them. Does your mother know you are pregnant?\u201d she hissed, her eyes crunched in disgust.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
She wouldn\u2019t speak to a beta, gamma, or alpha\u2019s daughter this way, but I was just an omega\u2019s daughter. Of course, she felt no empathy for me.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
I started nervously fidgeting with my fingers.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMadeline, do you even know who the father of your baby is?\u201d Her voice snapped louder this time, but what cut deepest was that she was right.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
I didn\u2019t know who the father of my baby was.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Two Months Ago:<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHappy birthday, Madeline!\u201d Alpha Elgin sang in the sweetest tone, while Alpha Graham and Alpha Baxter clapped along. It meant so much that my three best friends had come to celebrate my 18th birthday.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, what did you wish for, Madeline?\u201d Alpha Graham asked, his green eyes sparkling. His black hair fell perfectly over his forehead, a little messy in that effortlessly handsome way.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Every time I looked at him, my heart skipped a beat. But I doubted he ever noticed me that way. To him, I was just the silly little friend he had known since we were too young to understand love.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf I tell you my wish, it won\u2019t come true,\u201d I said with a small smile, feeling shy around them. All three were powerful Alphas from large packs\u2013over six feet five, muscular, and very handsome.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay, fine. Don\u2019t tell us your wish,\u201d Alpha Baxter said, his gray eyes fixed on me. \u201cJust tell us, did you find your mate today?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
My heart started racing, and I was confused. Why was I attracted to all three of them? They were my best friends. A crush was supposed to be for just one person, right? But I felt differently around each of them.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, I still haven\u2019t found my fated mate. But my wolf isn\u2019t awake yet either,\u201d I murmured, shrugging. Sadness washed over me.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAlright, enough,\u201d Alpha Elgin said, smiling. \u201cWhy are we sitting around talking about mates when she already has three friends here? What does she need a mate for?\u201d His blue eyes flicked to Graham and Baxter. \u201cLet\u2019s not spoil the mood. We\u2019re here to celebrate her birthday. Let\u2019s make it special.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHold on, Elgin. I don\u2019t agree with that,\u201d Graham said, but after a moment, he leaned back, stretching with a quiet yawn. As he did, his shirt shifted slightly, and I glimpsed his abs.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
His pants sat a bit low on his hips, showing the waistband of his underwear and his V-line. I tried not to look, but I couldn\u2019t resist.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cShe will need a mate eventually,\u201d Graham said after stretching. \u201cThe three of us are her friends, but a friend can never replace a fated mate.\u201d He adjusted his shirt, and I had to force myself to focus on his words.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t get me wrong,\u201d he added, \u201cI\u2019ll always stand by her, but some things only a mate can do.\u201d He sat back on the bed, his gaze intense and focused on me.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat things?\u201d I asked, unsure what he meant. They exchanged a glance, then looked back at me.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTell me,\u201d I pressed, still confused. Baxter glanced at Graham and smirked.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWho will help you with your body heat, Madeline? You\u2019ll need a mate for that,\u201d Baxter said, leaning across the small table with the cake. The way he said it, looking straight at me, made my heart race.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
We were alone at my house; my family wouldn\u2019t be back until the next evening.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, look, she\u2019s blushing,\u201d Graham teased, poking my cheek lightly. His voice lowered, losing some of its teasing tone. I looked down, and they all laughed.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay, you\u2019re getting ahead of yourselves. Her mate or not, we\u2019re here for her,\u201d Elgin said, stopping their laughter. I looked at them, noticing how closely they were watching me.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI mean,\u201d he continued, \u201cisn\u2019t it easier with friends? She might feel more comfortable with us, and we can be gentle.\u201d Elgin got up and sat beside me on the sofa, making me squeeze into the corner.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
He placed his hand on my thigh, and my heart sank.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI agree. We can make you more comfortable than some stranger claiming to be your mate.\u201d Baxter, agreeing with Elgin, left me shocked.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
For a moment, I thought they were joking. I never imagined they could look at me like that.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t understand,\u201d I said softly.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLet me explain,\u201d Elgin whispered, leaning close while the others watched. \u201cLet us be your first. We will be gentle with your pussy.\u201d The moment he said that, I understood what they meant.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Call it my desire for their attention or the result of a long-time crush, but I gave in. I remember them taking turns, and I felt every moment with them. Their whispers and promises to never leave me made me feel confident being with all of them.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
The night ended, and we all fell asleep. I hoped to wake up with them beside me, holding onto the promises they made.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
But I woke alone, wrapped in a blanket and naked underneath. I sat up quickly, confused and shocked. They were gone.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
The worst part came when I checked my phone and realized they had all blocked me.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Present Time:<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMadeline, I asked you something. Do you know who the father is?\u201d Doctor Willow\u2019s voice thundered as she slammed her hand on the table. The sound snapped me out of my thoughts.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
I slowly lifted my head and met her eyes. What I saw shocked me. She was angry and disgusted.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
I was trapped in something far bigger than I had imagined. I was pregnant, with no clue which of the three was the father.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
And the three who had promised to stand by me were nowhere in sight. They were gone.<\/p>\n
