Chapter 58\u00a0<\/p>\n
And then that question about the iron pills\u2026 God, she was making it so obvious. Practically flaunting her pregnancy to lure Nolan in. And the worst part was that it was working.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But his question made one thing clear:\u00a0<\/p>\n
He wasn\u2019t sure.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She hadn\u2019t directly told him. She hadn\u2019t shown him the ultrasound.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Felicity wasn\u2019t sure why Ellie would hide the proof, since she needed to show Nolan that she was pregnant in order to maintain her position. But Felicity wasn\u2019t about to look a gift horse in the mouth.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If Ellie wanted to play this ridiculous game of making him guess and getting him all worked up, then Felicity would just use it to her advantage.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She would make sure to get rid of Ellie\u2019s bastard child before Nolan ever knew about it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She had the means to do it. She had the access. And all the people in the pack house who were loyal to her were keeping track of Ellie\u2019s every movement and reporting it all back.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Felicity was putting together a plan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And soon, it would be time to act.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She was startled from her thoughts by the appearance of a strange man in a blue suit standing in the doorway. The moment the man appeared, Nolan pulled away from her arms, which only irritated her more.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cA guest, here to see Alpha Alaric.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nolan sent the man upstairs to see the Moonstone Alpha, but Felicity could feel the curiosity buzzing beneath his skin.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Exactly what she didn\u2019t need, one more thing distracting Nolan from her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The man in the blue suit ascended the stairs to the guest suites, where the Moonstone pack members were staying. He had been expected, and so he wasn\u2019t surprised when the door opened after only a single knock.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Eastman,\u201d a tall, lean man with silvering brown hair said, stepping forward.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGood to meet you in person, Alpha Alaric,\u201d Eastman replied. \u201cI\u2019ve brought the information you requested, but I\u2019m afraid it isn\u2019t much. As I told you over the phone, we have some records of Ellie\u2019s time at our orphanage, but they\u2019re sparse.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAny little scrap of information is helpful,\u201d the Alpha said sincerely, reaching for the folder tucked under Eastman\u2019s arm.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He handed it over readily.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019ll see in the notes, but just allow me to explain-Ellie had lost her memories when she was brought to us. That\u2019s how she ended up in our care. She was quite young, and it seemed that she had suffered substantial trauma. She couldn\u2019t remember much of anything but bits and pieces that didn\u2019t make sense.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLike what?\u201d the broad-shouldered brunette man beside Alaric asked. Eastman recognized him as Eastman\u2019s son, Cassian.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe first couple of weeks that Ellie was with us, she kept asking if anyone had found her necklace yet,\u201d Eastman explained. \u201cShe talked about this beautiful gemstone necklace and kept saying she\u2019d be in trouble if she lost it again. But when we pressed her on it, she couldn\u2019t give us any more information than that, and eventually, she\u00a0<\/p>\n
1\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n

stopped bringing it up.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alpha Alaric and Cassian exchanged a meaningful look.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Eastman\u2019s words clearly meant something more to them, although neither of them voiced it aloud.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWas there anything else that stood out to you?\u201d Alaric asked. \u201cDuring Ellie\u2019s time there?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHer demeanor,\u201d Eastman said thoughtfully. \u201cShe had a mild injury just behind her jaw. It was assumed to be from a fall, and the resulting head trauma may have caused her memory loss. But even though she couldn\u2019t remember anything about where she\u2019d come from, Ellie had a poise, agrace to her movements, that led us to believe she must\u2019ve come from a noble family. We were surprised when no one ever came looking for her.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI see,\u201d Alaric said, his voice tight. \u201cThank you for the information, Mr. Eastman. You\u2019ve been more helpful than you can know.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
