A big surprise

I woke up with a really bad headache the next morning. I had forgotten where I was until I turned to the other side of the bed slowly opening my eyes to see that I wasn't in my room.

My room didn't have a huge frame of nothing by the side. A plain art. I immediately jerked myself up and opened my eyes sharply. I was in a room I couldn't even recognize lying on a king-sized bed. I looked down on myself and saw that I was wrapped in a duvet and not just that, I was also completely stark naked underneath the duvet!

Oh my God! I screamed in my head

“What.., what have I done?” I stood up and I quickly surveyed the room, and I saw that no one was there. My head was spinning but I tried so hard to recall what happened the previous night.

All I could remember was arriving at the bar, having a few shots of tequila, and a man approaching me with a compliment. The last thing I remembered after that was my lips on his. How and when I got to the mansion and naked I had no idea.

“No…no, no.” I didn't. I shook my head in disapproval Of the realization that I had a one-night stand. I felt embarrassed. I was ashamed of how I allowed my sorrow to push me to the point of having sex with a stranger.

I began to scavenge for my things In the room. My guts filled with regrets and my head bowed in embarrassment at the statement.

"What did I do? " on my lips repeatedly.

I picked up my things and in no time, I was fully clothed.

I was done with my clothing but now I had just one problem. My bag.

"Where is it ?" I barely remembered how and when I got to his house then how could I recall where I placed my bag? Regardless, I continued to search impatiently, and there it was.

I picked it up and made my way to the door silently but hastily. All I wanted was to leave before anyone came in. Successfully, I made my way out of his Mansion. I soon found a cab.

I laid back, breathing a sigh of relief allowing all that had happened to sink into my head.

Tears welled up in my eyes. Not tears of guilt, tears of pain. I tried so hard to cover up my pains in the pretense of being fine but now I couldn't. I just sex, for the first time with a stranger In his house. I wished everything was a one nightmare that was taking too long to come to an end but unfortunately, it wasn't.

In my wildest dream, I would have thought of having a one-night stand with a man I barely knew but there I was sulking and biting down my lips in shame.

When I got home, I contemplated going in. This was my first time staying out and not informing anyone, especially my father. My phone had so many calls from him. I stood outside for a while before I finally went inside.

To my surprise, no one was there waiting for me. Another event that broke my heart.

I ran up to my room and freshened up. A few minutes later, the Alpha came into my room.

Ruth….

Fa..father….fear gripped me as he walked in unannounced.

“Where were you?” He asked flatly.

“I…. I went out for a drink, and I…..” I didn't know whether or not to tell him the truth or lie to him so I kept quiet. My hands were moving nervously behind me.

“Don't listen to what your mother says, okay? “

“She loves you. She is just being difficult” He tried to find his way around the situation skillfully and I understood.

I'm proud of you and Christien. He moved closer to me, rolled his hands down my straight tangle free hair.

“Your idea was perfect,”he said again.

“ I know, Thank you father,” I said with a weak smile and watched him walk away.

I felt bad for not telling him the whole truth about what he needed to know but there was no way I could tell him.

………..

A month had passed since the incident. I had forgotten all about it. I didn't get his name nor did I recall his face. I was excited I didn't. More excitingly, our paths didn't cross again.

Father had organized a dinner party for Mine and Christian's business launching. Everything was going well until It was time for me to speak to my pack. I suddenly began to feel nauseous. It was difficult to maintain my balance yet I tried. I took a few steps towards my father.

Are you okay? He asked softly after noticing my careful steps towards him.

I'm fine, just dizzy. I said, grabbing his hands for support. He barely held my hands tightly when suddenly I dropped to the ground.

Three hours later, I opened my eyes slowly to the three corners of the city hospital.

Mother, Father, and Christen were all in the room with me.

Mother…. I spoke with a frail voice.

“Couldn't you wait till the party was over?”Christen asked disgusted by my presence.

“Not now Christien.” Mother took my side for the first time.

While she spoke, the doctor came in with a medicine tray.

"Congratulations Miss Ruth," Dr Jones said With a smile as he walked up to me pointing my test results toward my mother.

"What?" Christen answered CONFUSED as she rose to collect her files.

"You are 3 weeks pregnant," he handed the files over to her.

What are you saying, doctor? My father and mother echoed at once Reluctantly, Christen collected them with a glance through them. DR Jones was right. I was indeed pregnant. I froze. I was pregnant?

"I will send the nurse to you, take good care of yourself." He said and in no time disappeared.

I was in a state of numbness. I lay numb and dumb for two minutes. Everything the doctor just said echoed through my ears over and over again. Tears welled up in my eyes, heart racing. The blood in my veins ran cold immediately.

My jaw trembling in a struggle to find words. My hands fell to the side as my face flushed with a sudden fall of confusion.

"I…. What? "

"No… I can't….

"No ... .no…no" stuttering in between my words, my eyes clouded with stocked-up tears.

"I can't be pregnant. "

"No, it's not possible….

RUTH? I saw the disappointment in my father’s face as he called my name.
