Pregnant By My Best Friend Alpha

Chapter 102: Chapter 102

Kyra’s POV fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

It was just 5 AM when I decided to go out and swim. I spotted an infinity pool and thought I might as well enjoy my stay here—or rather, my imprisonment. The walk-in closet of my room contained hundreds of clothes, and I chose a black two-piece swimsuit.

I didn’t want to look happy here. But I was already trapped in this beautiful prison. I had two choices: I could either feel sad all the time, or I could try to stay hopeful.

Hope. I laughed bitterly as I continued swimming. Snow was the only hope I had left. I’d tried asking Kieran to let me have my phone, even just for a few seconds. I desperately wanted to hear Snow’s voice, but he refused to give my phone back.

When I was tired of swimming, I went back into the house. I saw Kieran in the hallway. His hair was messy and he looked worried. Sylvia, my wolf, growled inside me because she could feel I was nervous.

"Where were you?" he asked. His voice sounded worried, but I knew he just wanted to control me.

I looked at him and touched my bathrobe. "Is swimming not allowed too?" I asked.

He sucked in his breath and looked away. I saw his jaw clench but couldn’t bring myself to care. So what if he was angry? I would continue to push his buttons until he could no longer stand me.

I walked past him, planning to return to my cozy but lonely room when he spoke.

"This chase will not go anywhere—not even progress—if you continue doing this." freёwebnovel.com

The corner of my lips rose and I scoffed at his words. "And you really think I care about that?"

"You won’t be able to see your daughter if you continue resisting me, Kyra. You will be trapped here for as long as you refuse to forgive me."

I clenched my teeth and took a very deep breath. When I looked at him, there were tears in my eyes. But I wasn’t sad; I was very angry. He was looking right into my eyes. He was waiting to see how I would react to his words. Now I understood what he wanted. He was trying to upset me until I would do what he wanted.

"So that’s your plan? To take me away from my daughter and torture me emotionally until I can no longer hold my sanity together?" Sylvia paced restlessly within me, wanting to tear into him.

Amanda was in jail after it was proven she killed my father, but Kieran, even as an accomplice, hadn’t been charged. He was immediately released, which I had expected. That’s why I’d asked Emily for a favor to implement Plan B in case my initial plan failed. I just hoped she was alright, or we wouldn’t be able to end this nightmare.

I was tired of living in fear, tired of running away, hiding, and keeping my baby in the dark. I wanted the best life for my daughter, and I couldn’t give her that if Kieran was still here, chasing me, demanding forgiveness he didn’t deserve.

He moved closer, his cedar and musk scent overwhelming me as he reached for my hands. I tried to pull away quickly, but he caught my hands. His eyes looked very intense and desperate.

"Kyra, I truly love you," he pleaded, dropping to his knees again before me. "I’ve already begged for forgiveness. Don’t you remember how happy we were together? We had moved past our circumstances: I wasn’t your stepbrother and you weren’t my stepsister. We loved each other truly, deeply."

Sylvia howled within me, her rage burning as fierce as my own as memories of betrayal washed over me. I yanked my hands from his grip.

"That’s exactly why I can’t forgive you!" I screamed, years of pain finally erupting. "Because I did love you! And your love was nothing but a scheme to gain control of my father’s pack and fortune! Your love was impure, calculated manipulation!"

My voice cracked as tears streamed down my face. "When I finally believed in us, when I thought we would marry and raise our child together, that’s when I saw your true face. Do you have any idea of the despair you caused me? The betrayal I felt?"

Kieran’s face paled. "Kyra, that’s not—"

"Love isn’t imprisonment!" I cut him off. "It’s not force or coercion. It’s two people choosing each other freely. What you’re doing now only proves how twisted your idea of love is."

"I don’t want to do this either, Kyra. But I have no choice. I’m desperate." Still on his knees, he tried to grab my hand.

I jerked away coldly. "I’ll never forgive you."

"Kyra..."

I continued walking, ignoring him. Once inside my room, I sobbed after closing the door. I rested my back against it and covered my mouth, suppressing my cries. I wouldn’t give him the satisfaction of making me surrender hope. I needed to get through this and end his evilness so I could be with my daughter again.

I sniffed as I wiped away my tears and stared blankly at nothing.

Phoebe’s POV

Five years ago, when Dad told us Kyra had died, I believed him. My brother was very sad. He had lost someone very special. Kyra was not just his mate, but also his best friend. They were perfect for each other. I was very sad about her death too. I cried a lot. I thought I would never see her again.

I loved Kyra like my sister because she understood me so well. She was very kind to me and treated me like family. For five years, I thought she was dead. I never imagined I would see her again. But it was real. Kyra was alive. Now I could see a little girl who looked just like Kyra. She was standing in front of me with a surprised look on her face.

"Who are you?" Her little gentle voice made me sob.

"Are you okay?" she asked curiously, her big eyes filled with concern.

I laughed and nodded while wiping my tears. I ran to hug her tightly, and my tears fell into her soft hair.

I felt very sorry. Kyra was with a bad man, and I couldn’t help her.

I didn’t know what to do. I had promised Kyra I would take care of her daughter. I really wanted to know if she was my brother’s child. She looked a lot like both of them. She had Nathan’s eyes and face shape, but her nose and smile were like Kyra’s.

"Did you know Kyra was alive?" I asked Luke. Snow was playing in the living room and singing quietly.

"Yes," Luke said slowly. "I’m sorry I couldn’t tell your brother. Kyra asked me not to tell anyone."

I sighed and nodded. Then my phone started buzzing. I remembered I hadn’t gone home last night. My brother had called me many times. My parents had sent me many messages.

I waited for a taxi and answered my phone. I had left Snow with Luke and promised to come back soon. But first, I had to explain to my angry family.

"Hello—"

"Where are you, Phoebe?!" Nathan shouted on the phone. He sounded angry and worried.

"I’m coming home now. We can talk later," I said.

In the taxi, I tried to think about what to tell my family. When I got home, my heart was beating fast. I wasn’t sure if I should tell them about Kyra and Snow.

When I opened the door, my whole family was there. My grandparents, my parents, and Nathan. My parents looked surprised. Nathan looked angry and ran to me.

"I’m sorry. I just—"

But Nathan hugged me very tightly, like he was afraid to let me go.

"Nathan..." I hugged him back.

"Where were you? I was so scared. I thought I would lose you too," he said in a sad voice.

I bit my lip hard. I thought to myself: How can I tell Nathan that Kyra is still alive? How can I tell him there’s a little girl who has his eyes and might be his daughter?
