She stilled. She kept on staring at him as if he would change his words or crack a smile and somehow the whole situation would turn around to come something completely different but he never did that. No matter how much longer she stare at him she only gave her a sincere expression that spoke that he was not lying.

"What?" She murmured out in shock. I didn't still could not believe it and she was still watching him begging the lords above to tell her that it was a joke.

​​

He nodded. "Yes," a smile came to his face. "It's true."

She almost went ballistic at that. What the hell did that even mean?

"What! Why?!" She screamed. Did he even know what he was talking about was he too far gone into madness?! "Do you will know what you're talking about argue that far gone!" She screamed at the top of her voice.

He shrugged. "Be alive for hundred of years and you will realise how things can sleep past into the darkness and you won't even realise it."

She scoffed and crossed her arms over her belly trying to protect it from the man. "Yo-you. . ." She whispered but did not know what to say. Adaline did not have problems initiate in conversations but this man had crossed all the limits of barbarism. "Do you even recall what you just said to me?"

"What are you looking for here? Split personality disorder?" He scoffed. "Of course, I remember it."

She blinked and gulped something. "Yo-you want to. . ."

"East the mutt's baby, yes, I do." He confirmed with a distasteful look on his face. "Even though I do not particularly enjoy In eating the shapeshifting kind or eating and general I would do it to bring my made back from the dead."

"First things first," she bit back and still tried to process what he had just told her, "if you do not particularly enjoy eating, as you put it, why would you eat and second why are you eating a baby? My baby!"

"Oh please," he snorted, "you are not even aware of this pregnancy because of the portion and your motherly instincts that are now surfacing above Were perfectly buried."

"The portion . ." She mumbled and held up her head. "Why are you doing this?" She ended up whispering barely on the verge of crying. She is named as she looked at him with her still in her hands for stop this is all too much for her to handle but this was not over yet and she knew that.

"Can you please let me go?"she pleaded to him and waste because she had no strength anymore. "Please, let me go." She begged closing her eyes while crying.

"Maybe I will," he sighed as he said, "if you managed to live after the baby is carved out of you that is." He shrugged helplessly as he was nothing but the pawn in this game.

She continued to cry and shake her head. "You talking about killing me and the baby. Noah you cannot do that!"

"I can," he said dryly, "you are not my priority but my mate and to bring her back and need to consume a life after which I will once again provide her with my blood and she would rise again from the dead." He revealed and then a smiled at her. "You must be feeling overwhelmed and I understand after all you're the one who is going to die. Don't worry it is your choice if you want that I shall give that anything you want to live, I'll leave it to it."

He stood up and straightened his clothes. "Now if you'll excuse me I have to go and get ready for the ritual." He glanced at the belly making Adeline place her hands in front of it. "Perhaps you could spend this time with the lovely baby you have. After all it will be the last moment ever spent."

He flew out of the room after that and Adeline only blink out of the moment when the doors were slammed shut.

"Wha-. . I. .." her hand went up to her forehead and she gripped it tightly. It has started to pain and she did not even know how to process all of it.

He was going to eat her baby?! She gapsed in horror and palmed her belly immediately. "What?" She muttered as she looked at the child growing inside her.

Everything made sense. The frequent flashes of back pain and swollen feet along with with the constant hunger that she had faced. It someone told her that she had been at least 7 months pregnant she would really say yes. These were the symptoms that she had failed to notice as the portion had worked really well and now the only moments that she was getting with her child was hours or even minutes before dying.

Her baby was going to get killed in front of her and she knew that as helpless as she was she could not even do anything about it.

How pathetic was her fate she thought about it, she could not protect herself when she knew about all of it and she could not protect her father died right in front of our eyes then came her childhood she was not even aware of and now I would die because of her again. She was literally losing everything.

Her hand slid down from her head to connect with the pendant was and unconsciously grip that it when a certain thought came to her mind.

With one hand she held her belly and the other she had been holding the pendant in it and it did not take long before she connected all the dots.

It was Xaviers baby as well and the fact that he was never going to see her really hurt her. She was never probably going to see any of them again and even though she would love to never meet her father's murderer it still hurt that they had a possibility of having a good future together which was now a ruined.

She jumped up when the doors opened.
