Page 9 of Surprise Baby for My Fated Alpha

“Come in,” Orion’s voice called from inside, strong and steady, as always.

I opened the door and stepped inside. He was standing behind his desk, adjusting his cufflinks. He looked up at me, and for a brief moment, something flickered in his eyes—something that told me he felt the same connection I did. But it was gone as quickly as it had appeared, replaced by his usual composed expression.

“Luna,” he said, a small, polite smile on his lips. “What can I do for you?”

I hesitated for a moment, suddenly feeling unsure. How could I just blurt out what I’d heard?

“I … I need to talk to you about something,” I said, stepping closer to his desk.

Orion raised an eyebrow, glancing at the clock on the wall. “Can it wait? I have a meeting in a few minutes.”

“Uh … sure,” I replied.

I have to gather enough evidence first. I need to find out their identity,I thought.

“Okay then … you don’t have to wait for me because the meeting is going to take a long time.”

“Uh … that’s fine … we can just talk about it tomorrow.”

As he walked past me, our hands touched and I immediately fell into a trance.

I was standing in a dark forest, the trees looming overhead like silent sentinels. The air was thick with fog, and I could barely see a few feet in front of me. But I wasn’t alone. Vaguely, in the distance, I saw Orion, his back to me, as he faced something hidden in the shadows.

And then I saw them—the wolves. Dozens of them, their eyes glowing a sinister red as they surrounded him. They moved silently, circling closer and closer, their teeth bared.

I tried to call out to him, to warn him, but no sound came from my lips. I was frozen, helpless, as the wolves closed in. One of them leaped, jaws snapping, and—

I jolted back to reality, my heart pounding in my chest. The vision had felt so real, so vivid. I could still feel the cold of the forest. Hear the growls of the wolves.

I knew, without a doubt, that Orion was in danger. Something was coming for him. Something dark and deadly.

“Luna … Are you okay? You look like you’ve seen a ghost!”

Is Orion a werewolf?I thought.

Orion

Iheld Luna’s hands, as they kept on shaking uncontrollably.

“Luna … what’s wrong? Why are you looking at me like that? Is something wrong?”

“Uh … yeah … you can go to your meeting,” she said, clearing her throat.

“You look pale … I’m definitely not leaving you like this. Come with me.”

I led her to the couch in my office and stroked her palms, hoping she’d feel better.

“You really don’t have to this for me … I’m fine … I guess it’s because I haven’t eaten all day.”

“Then let’s get you something to eat -”

“Oh no, don’t worry, I can just get something to eat on my way out,” she interrupted.

“Nonsense! I’ll have them prepare something for you.”

“Really. I’m fine. You’ll be late for your meeting”
