“I – The what?” I blinked at the girl – woman, rubbing her hand on my stomach with a satisfied grin. “What - What baby?” I pushed her hand off my stomach but she put it back.“Why, the one in the oven.” She grinned at me. Her grin dimmed when she saw I didn’t return it. “Oh, did you not know?” She looked sombre for a second before her face lit up brighter than ten Christmas trees. “Then I will be the first to congratulate you!” She pulled me into a hug. “Congratulations, Luna Sihana!”“I – I am not pregnant.” I pushed her away from me, placing a hand on my stomach.… Yes, I don’t want children.Those words danced through my head with Cahir’s cold voice.“Ah, has Asena not picked up the new presence?” The high priestess took my hands in hers and then grinned. “You have such pure energy, Luna!” She hugged me again, pulling back before I could push her off. “It’s no wonder the goddess favours you.” She continued to smile at me.If the atmosphere in the temple wasn’t calming, I would be s

It seemed dramatic to sneak out of the house in a disguise but I was sick so there was no way anyone in the Alpha Castle would let me go out on my own. If I insisted, they’d involve Cahir. As for the disguise, well, if anyone saw me buying pregnancy tests, the news of the Luna’s pregnancy would spread within a day.I snuck out to the nearest pharmacy and picked out three pregnancy tests and then I hurried back home. It took me less than an hour to sneak out and sneak back in but unfortunately, when I got back to the castle, the house was in an uproar.“Luna!” Irene looked on the verge of tears when she came into my room after I successfully stuffed the tests far back into my closet. “Where were you?” The girl asked. “We’ve all been searching for you. The Alpha is on his way.”“W – What do you mean?” I said with a fake giggle. “I’ve been here all along,” I said but she shook her head.“No.” She shook her head harder. “You weren’t. Laura said someone had kidnapped you.” I blinked at her

The tests confirmed what the high priestess already told me. I was pregnant. With child. Had a bun in the oven. The first thing I did when I saw the tests show I was indeed pregnant was to wrap them up in black plastic, after destroying the packs they came in, and then I buried them deep inside the trash can.Next, I curled up in bed, put the covers around me, and then I cried. I bawled my eyes out like a baby, hiccuping under the duvet as I wept. Once, I heard someone knock on the door so I stopped and pretended to be asleep until the person left, and then I continued to cry. I cried until my weak body had no more tears to produce.“A baby.” I placed a hand on my stomach. “What am I going to do?” I whispered into the room then I sighed, getting out of bed.It didn’t matter what Cahir said, this child was mine. If he didn’t want kids, there was nothing I could do. If he asked me to take the child and leave, I would. It may hurt, but I would. This baby was my responsibility and no matt

“It will – It will never come to it,” I muttered. I didn’t fully understand what he meant by choosing me before our child but he seemed to threaten my baby. Would he try something if my symptoms got worse?“I hope it doesn’t,” he responded in a quieter tone with a forlorn expression. “Are you hungry?” He asked and that was the end of the conversation about our unborn child.I wished I could say it didn’t prick me how he dismissed the subject as if it wasn’t something life-changing. I didn’t want to fault him, knowing he had issues of his own he hadn’t dealt with and he may be unwilling to have a child because of said issues, but I was tired, cranky and thus upset. My brain told me he was supposed to be happy and since he wasn’t, I got even crankier.“Is that all you have to say?” I asked with ill-concealed annoyance. “I tell you I am pregnant but you ask if I’m hungry?”“What more am I to say?” He asked with narrowed eyes.“We’ll have a baby soon! What do you mean by what more are you

*CAHIR*“Sooo –“ Aristo drawled as I tapped away on my computer. “I can tell you can’t even see what you’re typing.” I swiped the computer off the desk with red eyes. My Beta caught it before it hit the ground. “What’s up with you, man?” He asked, setting the computer back on the table. I glared at it as if it was the source of all my problems.“She’s pregnant,” I blurted out.“Yeah, I kind of figured that out myself but it doesn’t explain why you have been cranky the past week. What’s wrong with her being pregnant?” My beta asked.What’s wrong with her being pregnant, you ask? For one, the child was slowly draining her life force. Secondly, what good could a child with my blood bring? Thirdly, she was not speaking to me because of said child.My mate and I had been together for a little over three months now. We just started building our relationship. Things finally started going well and for the first time in my life, I loved someone.It is possible I may have loved my parents, that
