~Zarek's POV~
It's been two days. Two whole days since Dahlia left my pack without a trace. Two solid days since I found out that Jennifer was pregnant with my child.
Two days since my life suddenly felt darker. Bleaker.
And I didn't know how to feel about all of that.
I didn't know how to console myself or Jennifer, even though deep down, I had no idea what I would've done if the child had survived… if Jennifer had succeeded in pining me down with a child.
By the gods, I didn't want to be with her. Hell, I didn't even get her pregnant on my own accord and this would've never happened if she hadn't done that stupid scent swap/stealing thingy she had done with Dahlia's smell; But still, it doesn't change the fact that the child was pure. Innocent. Untainted by the evils of its mother.
And it was just terrible for its life to be lost even before one's fully formed.
