Chapter 144 - Not One But Three

Hailee POV

Later that night

I sat on my bed, pulling my knees to my chest. Frederick's words would not leave my head. I kept seeing his face. He didn't judge me. He didn't ask questions. He didn't look at me with anger. Instead, he offered me something I didn't expect—protection. A cover. A name to hide behind.

But why?

Why would a vampire I barely knew say such a thing? What would it cost me if I agreed? What would it cost him?

A lie I could never take back.

My heart beat fast, too fast. I pressed my face against my knees and whispered into the room, "Can I really trust him?"

My body changed in ways I couldn't hide anymore. My belly was no longer flat, and every step reminded me of the secret I carried inside me.
