~{INGRID'S POV}~

"That Flare's mate, Rhema, is pregnant."
The weight of that word pregnant hit me like a cannonball and my lips parted in disbelief as I searched Jelly's eyes for a lie. It had to be a lie, right?
"Don't be ridiculous," I blurted out.
"I'm sorry you had to hear this now." He apologized in all seriousness and I gasped in horror as I slowly stood up and moved wherever my feet took me.
Rhema was pregnant. Why? How?
"Please, stop torturing yourself," I heard Jelly plead with me and it only made me feel worse.
I slowly placed my hand on my chest when I felt the hotness.
This couldn't be happening right?
I slowly moved to the glass wall and stared at the sky as I parted my lips to speak. However, not a single word came out, only a whimper.
I couldn't afford to cry again. Crying meant I had accepted defeat and I didn't want to accept defeat but…
She was pregnant.
