Chapter 336
Chapter 336:
“I mean, Jaris and I will be getting married in three days. It’s only right we get enough space to bond. Right p>
She had a smug smile on her face, looking so proud.
“Wow,” I scoffed. “You’ve been with this guy for six years, had kids for him, yet you don’t have even the slightest bond, do you?” I clicked my tongue, shaking my head. “That’s quite sad, Marta. Anyway, not to worry, you can bond all you want when we get home. For now, he wants me to sit beside him p>
I didn’t miss the glint that crossed her eyes just before she smiled.
“It’s fine.” She leaned back, crossing her arms. “You can stay here for now. After all, it’s only temporary. I guess people were right when they said good things come to them that wait. You started off being his mate, but guess who’s Grand Luna today p>
She laughed and stood up.
“If I were you, I’d be more respectful to me considering the difference in our positions. Trust me, you wouldn’t want to mess with me right now, Lyric.” It was difficult pretending her words didn’t sting so badly.
I huffed. “That you see this position as a tool for power, not a responsibility to lead. The people deserve better p>
Her smile vanished in an instant. Fortunately, Jaris returned before she could say anything else, so she had to leave.
Jaris had been trying so hard to make things right between us—trying to make me laugh and all. But it was really taxing, because I was still hurt, no matter what. Today’s revelation only proved to me that my position in his life was temporary, and maybe I’d gotten to a point where I thought I could be more. He left for a meeting as soon as we reached Darkspire, while I went ahead to get a test strip.
Despite being so sure I wasn’t pregnant, my hands still shook as I stood in the bathroom, waiting for the test lines.
Idle and curious, I imagined what would happen if I was actually pregnant for Jaris. That would mean me having three kids for him. I laughed in my head about it.
Last night, when he mentioned Xylon and Xyla were all he had, I couldn’t deny feeling a little hurt. I loved how he loved those kids, but it was sad he didn’t know he had two more he could love like that. So imagine making it three. That was hilarious.

My mirth, however, vanished when the second line appeared on the strip. My brows tightened, thoughts racing through my mind, yet none of them seemed factual.
Two red lines.
What did two red lines mean again?
I dropped the strip, reached for my phone, and googled it.
Oh, of course I wasn’t dumb. I knew perfectly well what two red lines meant. But something about it was keeping me from believing it. Because how the hell was I pregnant p>
LYRIC
I kept tapping my legs against the floor, my arms wrapped around myself as I sat on the edge of the bed.
