<h4>Chapter 310: TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT</h4>


    By the time Maria returned back to the moonlight pack, she already had an idea of what she was going to do.


    She found him at the gardens ying chess with Red.


    She beamed in rage but remembered what her mother had told her and called down instantly.


    And then she faked a smile and walked up to him.


    "Honey." She greeted.


    He looked up and she gave her cheek for him to kiss.


    When he was about to kiss her cheek, she turned to face him, making him kiss her lips.


    "You are back safe and sound." He remarked. "I trust your journey went well."


    She smiled. "It was perfect. My mother sends her regards to you and appreciated the viftx


    He leaned back. "And her health? All is well?"


    She nodded. "All is well."


    Then she turned to Red who got up to curtsey.


    "Mydy wee back from your journey." Red said .


    "Thank you." Maria replied and then she turned back to face her husband. "I brought back some gifts for you, I was in the belief that you would like to see them".


    "Oh." Bale mumbled to himself. "Can I see themter?"


    She shook her head. "I am afraid not. It’s best you see it. And it is a surprise."


    He rose up from his feet and kissed her cheek and then he turned to Red.


    "Excuse me for a moment."


    And then with that he left.


    Red was about to rise up to her feet when Maria stopped her. "Sit back down."


    Red looked up at her and then eventually obeyed.


    Maria sighed in and then took the seat her husband had just left.


    Then she looked up at Red.


    "I know that you are fucking my husband." Maria said.


    Red’s eyes went open in shock.


    "I beg your pardon?" Red said.


    "I also know that you are pregnant for him." Maria said coldly.


    And Maria eyed the fur coat that concealed her pregnancy.


    Red rolled her eyes. "You are unbelievable."


    "Unbelievable for confronting the woman who came from nowhere to take my ce?" Maria gave a bitterugh and rolled her eyes. "You have absolutely no idea what I am."


    Maria waved her hand over Maria. "I do not know where my husband found you. But what I will not take is you openly prancing around like you own this ce. Like you belong here when in fact you don’t."


    "I am not sleeping with your husband." Red denied. "You have it all wrong. Bale is like a brother to me. Why would I sleep with him?"


    Maria threw her head back and started tough so hard tears cane out of her eyes.


    She wiped them away. "How rich of you to say that."


    And then Maria licked her bottom lips and said. "What? You are going to deny that you are not pregnant."


    Red’s facial expression changed.


    "I can have my guards strip you naked and reveal it to the world." Maria said.


    Red eyed her. "Yes, I am pregnant."


    Maria felt a pang in her chest.


    She already knew that Red was pregnant, but somewhere deep down in her hearts, she prayed that it was false.


    That it was all a lie.


    But hearing Maria say it with her own lips made her angry.


    Maria swallowed and suppressed her emotions.


    "But I am not pregnant for your husband. I will never take what belongs to someone else." Red promised.


    Maria gave a stiff smile. "How many months?"


    Red said nothing.


    "How many months?" Maria demanded.


    Red looked down at her stomach and touched it tenderly.


    "Six months." Red said as she looked down at herrge stomach tenderly.


    And then she smiled at her stomach as she rubbed it.


    Maria was filled with nothing but jealousy.


    It was supposed to be her!


    She was supposed to be the one with the the child and excited with her husband not this woman.


    Envy and rage filled herpletely.


    And then Red looked up at her and Maria took her face away and went straight to the matter at hand.


    "I will make a deal with you." Maria said. "You will take your things and leave this pack and never return. You will also write a letter to my husband telling him how much you miss wherever you came from and you can no longer stay here."


    "What makes you think I will take such a deal?" Red asked.


    "Because you will die if you do not." Maria said. "You and your unborn child. I promise you that if you stay here, you will regret the day you were born."


    Red sighed heavily. "Look. I know you don’t like me. And I don’t like you either. I don’t want to be here. It is your husband who has insisted that I stay here. My child does not belong to your husband. But circumstances are the reasons why I am here."


    "What sort of circumstances?" Maria asked.


    Red looked away. "I am afraid that is none of your business mydy. But I can assure you that I am not your husband’s lover neither is my baby his".


    "You stupid bitch." Maria said irritated as she rose up to her feet and eyes ten beautiful woman before her. "You have no intentions of ever leaving do you? You are going to stay here for the rest of your life and take away my ce."


    Redughed and held her stomach Maria was bewildered .


    "You think this is funny don’t you?" Maria demanded.


    "Yes." Red said. "Because you really think that I am interested in taking your ce. I have zero interest in being a Luna or the wife of a great alpha. I simply want a good ce for my child to live and if not for your husband I will be here."


    Maria looked at Red. "Will you take this deal yes or no?"


    Red looked at her and said. "No."


    Maria already fuming said. "Suit yourself and stormed off."
