**Chapter 5**
**Elle’s POV**
A month had slipped by since that fateful night with Brad Rayne, a night that had altered the very fabric of my existence. In an effort to escape the whirlpool of thoughts swirling in my mind, I had thrown myself headlong into my work. I took on extra tasks, stayed late at the office, and buried myself in endless reports and meetings—anything to keep my mind occupied and distracted from the gnawing uncertainty that had settled in my chest.
Yet, despite my best efforts, my body felt distinctly different these days. A constant fatigue clung to me, and the mornings were particularly brutal, often accompanied by waves of nausea that rolled through me like an unwelcome tide.
Today was worse than usual. The fluorescent lights overhead buzzed mercilessly, their brightness piercing through my skull like a thousand tiny needles. Even the usual comfort of my morning coffee had turned against me, its once-familiar aroma now making my stomach churn violently.
“West! The report needs to be completed by noon,” Mrs. Jenkins barked as she dropped yet another folder onto the precarious mountain of paperwork on my desk. Her eyes narrowed slightly as she scrutinized my face. “You don’t look well. Are you feeling alright?”
I nodded mechanically, forcing a smile that felt more like a grimace. “Yes, Mrs. Jenkins. Just tired.”
As she walked away, I felt a prickle of unease. My gaze drifted across the room, landing on two werewolf executives who had come down to HR for some paperwork. They were staring at me, nostrils flaring slightly as they exchanged hushed words. One of them took a tentative step towards me, but his colleague grabbed his arm, whispering something urgently in his ear.
A wave of dizziness washed over me, and I gripped the edge of my desk, my knuckles turning white as I fought to steady myself. My vision blurred, and an unfamiliar warmth began to radiate from my eyes, an electric sensation that coursed through my body in a way I had never experienced before.
“Elle?” Sarah, a coworker from the desk next to mine, called out, her voice sounding distant and muffled. “Are you okay? Your eyes…”
My heart raced in my chest, each beat echoing a sense of impending doom. Something was terribly wrong, and I could feel it deep within my bones—a shift, a change that I couldn’t quite comprehend. Panic clawed at my throat as I tried to stand, to reassure everyone that I was fine, but my legs betrayed me, refusing to support my weight.
“Help her!” I heard someone shout, the urgency in their voice barely registering as darkness began to close in around me.
The last image etched in my mind before I succumbed to the void was the shocked faces of my colleagues, their expressions a mix of concern and confusion.
When I finally regained consciousness, I was met with the steady beep of a heart monitor. The stark white ceiling loomed above me, and the sharp, antiseptic smell confirmed my suspicions—I was in a hospital. But this was no cramped human clinic; this room was spacious and filled with advanced medical equipment that I had only ever seen in glossy magazines.
At the foot of my bed stood a doctor, his attention fixed on a tablet as he furrowed his brows in concentration. He was undeniably a werewolf—tall and imposing, with that innate grace that seemed to flow effortlessly from him.
“Ms. West,” he said, glancing up as he noticed I was awake. “How are you feeling?”
“Confused,” I admitted, my voice coming out in a hoarse whisper. “What happened?”
“You fainted at work. Your colleagues called for emergency services,” he explained as he approached me slowly, his intense gaze locked onto mine in a way that made me feel both vulnerable and exposed. “I’m Dr. Reeves. May I check your eyes?”
Before I could respond, he shone a penlight directly into my right eye, then my left. I felt my stomach drop as he inhaled sharply, a sound that sent a wave of dread coursing through me.
“What’s wrong with me?” I asked, panic bubbling up within me.
“Your heterochromia… it’s exhibiting unusual properties,” he said, carefully choosing his words. Yet, I could see the barely contained excitement flickering in his eyes. “The different colored eyes you were born with aren’t just a cosmetic difference. They’re… reacting.”
“Reacting to what?” My voice trembled, laced with fear.
“That’s what we’re trying to determine.” He set down the penlight and picked up my chart, his expression growing serious. “Ms. West, I’m going to tell you something unexpected. According to your blood work, you’re approximately six weeks pregnant.”
What the hell did he just say?
Time seemed to freeze. My ears rang with his words as my mind struggled to grasp the reality of the situation.
“What? No, that’s not possible. I mean… I only…” My voice trailed off as the truth hit me like a freight train. Six weeks. The night at the hotel with Brad Rayne. My hand instinctively moved to my stomach, tears welling in my eyes as the gravity of the revelation sank in. “Oh my God.”
“There’s more,” Dr. Reeves continued, his gaze never leaving my face as he studied my reaction. “When you were brought in, several werewolf staff members reported feeling unusually drawn to you. Your emotional state seemed to be affecting them on a physiological level. This, combined with the unique energy signature your heterochromia is emitting…”
He stepped back, visibly overwhelmed by his own findings. “I need to consult with the senior medical team immediately. This is… unprecedented.”
I watched in a daze as he hurried out of the room, my mind a chaotic storm of emotions. Pregnant. With Brad Rayne’s child. A human carrying a werewolf baby. What on earth would that even mean? And what was happening with my eyes?
Through the glass wall of my room, I caught a glimpse of Dr. Reeves at the nurses’ station, speaking urgently into a phone, his expression grave.
Twenty minutes crawled by, each second stretching into eternity.
Suddenly, the door swung open with a force that startled me. Brad Rayne strode in, his powerful presence filling the room like a storm. The moment our eyes met, a jolt of electricity surged through me—part fear, part something deeper that I didn’t dare to name. He looked exactly as I remembered: tall and imposing, with those piercing amber eyes that seemed to see right through me.
My chest tightened painfully, a mix of anticipation and dread. Here he was, about to discover that I was carrying his child. I wanted to vanish, to sink through the floor and escape the intensity of his gaze.
Behind him followed an elegant older woman I recognized immediately as Elizabeth Rayne, his grandmother and the Chairwoman of the Werewolf Council. Her silver hair was pulled back into a severe bun, and her presence commanded respect.
Brad’s eyes remained locked onto mine, his expression inscrutable. Yet I could feel the tension radiating off him, a palpable energy that terrified me.
Elizabeth approached the bed, her piercing gaze scrutinizing my face as if searching for answers.
“So it’s true,” she murmured, reaching out as if to touch my face but stopping just short of making contact. “A true heterochromatic mate. I never thought I’d see one in my lifetime.”
Mate? The word echoed in my mind, foreign and unsettling. I had heard whispers about werewolf mates—soulmates in their world—but what did that have to do with me?
“Mrs. Rayne,” Dr. Reeves interjected respectfully, breaking the charged silence. “The tests confirm it. Her eyes are beginning to manifest energetic signatures consistent with the ancient texts. And there’s more—she’s carrying a child.”
Elizabeth’s eyebrows shot up in disbelief. “A child? Whose?”
Brad’s jaw tightened visibly, a flicker of tension passing between him and his grandmother.
My face burned with humiliation. This can’t be happening!
“I think we need to have a private conversation,” Elizabeth finally said, her voice sharp with authority. “Doctor, leave us.”
As Dr. Reeves hurried out, Elizabeth turned her attention back to me, her expression shifting to one of intense scrutiny.
“Do you know what you are, child? What those eyes of yours mean?”
I shook my head, the words failing me as my throat constricted in fear and confusion.
“You are what our kind calls a ‘true mate’—a perfect genetic match for an Alpha werewolf. Those differently colored eyes are an ancient marker, extremely rare. They grant special abilities, particularly the power to influence werewolf emotions and behavior.” She leaned closer, her voice lowering to a conspiratorial whisper. “But there’s a problem. You’re human. True mates are always born werewolves. This hasn’t happened in recorded history.”
Elizabeth suddenly turned to Brad, her eyes narrowing with a mix of authority and concern. “Bradley, explain yourself. How is this human girl carrying what appears to be your child?”
The directness of her question made me flinch. I couldn’t bear to look at Brad; the weight of his gaze felt like a physical force pressing down on me. Instead, I stared down at my trembling hands, my heart racing with a mixture of fear and confusion.
What the hell is happening to my life?

Perhaps this child could bridge the gap between our worlds, offering a chance for understanding and acceptance in a realm where differences often sparked conflict.
