Chapter 304
304 – Too Jealous To Live Peacefully
Kaylee:
Everyone was happy. Graham’s face paled for a moment before he stood up and walked around the table to hug his father.
I could not move.
What the fuck was that? Why would she get pregnant? She had her time and could not get pregnant for years. Now it was our time.
My baby was supposed to be the alpha of the pack. Why was she getting pregnant now?
What angered me the most was that Graham did not seem to understand something so simple.
“Kaylee, what’s going on?” Penny asked, and everyone’s attention turned to me.
I noticed Eldon’s eyes lingering on me. He was the one who had helped me secure a place. 1
He was the one who had done everything to get Madeline out of Graham’s life so I could stay in it. I had to keep this together for him. 1
I smiled widely, stood up, and walked around the table to hug her.
“Congratulations,” I said, wearing the fakest smile on my lips. I congratulated her, but it did not change the fact that I was burning with anger inside my chest.
The same Kaylee who had been eating dinner and enjoying it could no longer do so.
I was so fucking annoyed. I had to force a smile every time I took a bite, acting as if I was happy, but I truly was not. I was just angry.
The reason was that now she would be sharing everything with me. All the attention I had was suddenly shifted to Kaylee.
Of course, since Lord Eldon was still the father and a council leader, everyone was happier for him.
I felt neglected. A new rule was even introduced that there would be gifts for her from now on, because I had already received enough gifts, they said.
I returned to my room with a sour look on my face.
“Are you okay? You haven’t been smiling much,” Graham remarked, mentioning how I had eaten dinner in
silence.
He sat beside me on the bed, gently rubbing my back.
“Didn’t it make you unhappy that your father has impregnated his new mate, the woman because of whom your mother died?” I tried to choose my words wisely, but when you are angry, you cannot think straight.
“Why are you speaking about it?” he hissed, then quickly corrected his tone. “My love, I don’t care about anyone. You’re the only one who matters to me now, so I don’t care what others are doing with their lives, Graham replied, gently touching my chin.

As he leaned in to kiss my cheek, I pulled away from him.
“Do you have any idea what that means, Graham? You are the alpha now, but when all the children grow up together, there is a possibility that your father’s child could be crowned,” I argued, watching him in disbelief at how little he seemed to consider it.
“Oh, come on, Kaylee. We don’t even know if the child will be powerful, and if it’s a girl, we’ll just get her married early, the moment she turns eighteen. So don’t worry,” he stated, gesturing with his hand as he
got up.
That was true. If she was a girl, I could make sure her personality and character turned in a way that others would rush to marry her the moment she turned eighteen. 1
I could ruin her. Madeline’s parents had done that to her, and it worked.
As for me, I was giving birth to three sons. That was a huge deal.
Although I had comforted myself with the thought that I would be able to deal with her daughter once she was born, it did not change the fact that what if it was not a girl.
With that being said, over the next three days, I realized that Penny was even more cunning than I had thought.
She must have known about her pregnancy for a while. She had just been waiting for the right time, because she had been avoiding alcohol for some time now.
I had been thinking about all of this so much that I passed out the other day, and the doctor told me I was taking too much stress.
Nobody could understand what the stress was, but I had seen Graham watching me.
He had warned me a few times to take care of our baby, but he did not understand that it was not easy like
this.
I was getting annoyed more and more, and then, at one dinner, Penny decided to push me so far that my discomfort almost turned into hatred.
“So I had the blood test done to find out the gender because I really wanted to surprise my husband.” Penny was such a wannabe, speaking softly and acting like this was the first time she was getting pregnant.
I mean, it was, but it was not her time. It was my time, and she was stealing my shine.
“Really, what is it?” Lord Eldon asked her, the shameless man who had cheated on his wife and was now having a child at this age.
“It’s twins, and guess what, it’s boys,” she announced. 1
As soon as she said that, my face went completely blank. I could not force a smile anymore. My breath started to get caught in my throat.
Graham gently placed his hand over mine and squeezed it, signaling for me not to react.
As the couple celebrated, I turned to look at Graham.

“See, I told you she was pregnant for a long time. She’d been hiding it,” I whispered to him.
“It doesn’t matter. Come on, just enjoy your pregnancy,” Graham replied, once again raising his glass to cheer with his father.
When I looked at Penny, I noticed she was looking back at me, and there it was.
A smile of satisfaction.
