Caliana's

POV

My heart was hammering in my chest as I stared at the man I hated, oh so thought I'd hate. His gaze held many emotions but I couldn't decipher them all. Edward's eyes swayed my body and settled on my stomach and a pain squeezed my heart. I swallowed and looked next to him, I smiled at the girl next to him. She grinned when I opened my arms and she ran into them. It was the most beautiful and longest hug I've been in. I kissed her several times. "How are you so big already?" I chuckled as I put her down.

"I missed you so much, mommy," She said and my heart warmed with adoration for her. I missed her little voice. Love had not yet noticed my belly and when she did, she gasped and touched it.

"A baby!" She squealed, touching my stomach fondly and looking back at her father. Edward's eyes bore into me and I shuddered, my knees wobbled at the intensity of his gaze and I felt so many eyes on me. Wherever did they come from? "Caliana," Edward said after what seemed like an eternity.

"Alpha Edward," I said coldly. I composed myself and stopped my fingers from trembling. I glimpsed back at Pauline, she shrunk under my glare and quickly took them out of the room but Ellis came back. He looked at me with apprehensive eyes. "I'll be fine, go ahead to play," He gazed at Edward and seemed unsure,

"I'll call you if I need help, promise," I said and he nodded before finally leaving the room. Edward advanced towards me and I took a step back. My gaze on him was cold but my heart was beating out of my chest. I'm sure he could hear it. "Can we talk," He asked, his voice a whisper and unrecognizable to my ears. No, yes, no, yes. I didn't know what to do.

"I deserve to be heard out," He insisted. I sighed and directed him to a private salon. I crossed my arms against my chest.

"Speak,"

He asked me to sit next to him but I sat across from him, his eyes raked me again and I felt hot. My baby was kicking me and my stomach, his eyes followed my movements and he smiled. I didn't know how much I loved his smile until now. "You're pregnant, I'm very happy, Caliana," He said calmly. He tried to speak for so long but failed. He was at a loss for words.

"I had- I practiced doing this for so long but- I can't seem to replace the right words now that you are in front of me," He was stuttering and I couldn't believe this," How are you, Caliana," He finally said and tears welled my eyes, how can he ask me that? Did he think he had the right to ask me that after all the pain he caused me?

"What do you think?"

"I'm sorry for hurting you, I don't deserve your forgiveness but I will still go ahead and ask for it,"

"What are you sorry for, Edward?"

"Everything, everything. The pain, sadness, loneliness, all you've ever endured and I'm most sorry for not kicking that woman out of the pack the day she attacked you," He said. My heart rate was quickening. He meant Candace, he couldn't bring himself to say her name. How come?

"You love birds, have a fight and you come running to me," I scoffed and he shook his head.

"No, she did dark magic that made her look like you and we slept together, I was a fool, I should have known instantly that she wasn't you,"

I laughed at what he said, how can he make this up? I stifled my laugh and urged him to continue with this bizarre narrative. I see where Love got it from. Edward's face paled and a look of fear and worry took over his features.

"I'm speaking the truth," He said, coming closer to me. He crouched down and held my hands. Both of us gasped at the sparks that flew on my hands, shocked, I stood up. He got on his knees fully and looked up at me. "Please forgive me for not knowing it wasn't you. You were so different, your mannerism, touch, smile, even the way you sleep were so different, I should have known," He said sincerely.

'He is telling the truth,' Liana said but I ignored her.

"I don't believe this, this is ridiculous, just like you are right now," I said and pushed him away slightly, moving past him. He grabbed my wrist just as I reached the stairs, causing the tingles to spread on my arm again. "You've caused me too much pain and hurt, Edward, I think we should officially end our relationship,"

"No," he growled and hugged me from behind.

"Please forgive me, Caliana, and I'm sorry for hurting you," he begged, holding me tighter. I was heaving as he was.

"I want to be with you and our baby,"
