Pregnant

The next day, right after training we go to the doctor. Alpha, you need to wait out in the waiting room.

The Alpha gives the doctor attitude. Why do I have to leave?

Alpha, I need to give her a checkup. He storms out of the room and slams the door on the way out. Hello, my name is Doctor Richardson, I will be running the test to see if you are pregnant. Here take this cup and bring back a urine sample.

I pray quietly to the Moon goddess, please dont let me be pregnant. I dont think he is my mate, and I dont feel anything for him. Here doctor. I handed him back the cup. All I think is I want to go home, please let them find me and get me out of here. I feel so dirty he has touched me for ten days and I let him. If I am pregnant, they might not want me back.

Ill be right back. He leaves me there all alone. When he comes back, he is all smiles. Alpha, would you please come in. It seems you are going to have a pup. Congratulations.

Thank you doctor. He is staring at me, sarcastically saying. Arent you happy to be having my pups?

I'm not going to lie to you. I'm too young for a pup. I want to be a good mother; I just don't know if I will.

If you cant take care of the pup, I will get a nanny and leave you in the dungeon until I want another pup.

Mariah, please help me calm down. I cant stand him anymore.

I will help you. She starts humming in our mind, reminding me of what mom used to do when I got hurt.

Seeing the tension between us, the doctor begins to talk. Well, with you pregnant, you will come to see me every two weeks. Also, in two weeks we'll do an ultrasound.

Thank you, Doctor Richardson. Adrian said.

Oh, here are some prenatal vitamins. Take them every day.

Can I still do my workouts?

For the first two months but no sparring. The pup will be here in four months.

Are you happy about the pup Alpha? He never answers me and when we get to the room, he is still mad.

Youre pregnant so I will not come to your room. What I wanted from you I got.

As you wish, Alpha. He does not know how much of a relief that is to me.

I went into my bathroom, closed and locked the door, turned on the shower, to cover my crying. He got his way Mariah. The tears dont stop, I cant stop them.

Ray! Ray! Stop we will be Ok. The pup will be OK. Mariah said loudly, getting my attention.

I don't want his pup! I want to go home and back to my life.

This is our pup too! Mariah injected commandingly. Please you're going to hurt yourself calm down.

What will my family do? Are they still looking for me?

You know they are, they love you.

How can you be so sure? They would never let a disappointment like me back in their family.

Think about them and you will have your answer.

Sitting in the shower I think about them. Dad is the king. He is a large man with dirty blonde hair and blue eyes with an aura that is strong and intimidating. Mom, oh Mom. She is kind and strong. She gave me my Auburn hair and taught me to be kind. She gives the best hugs. I could really use one right now. They love me, I know that. I hope they will understand.

Micah! I say out loud, Will he still want me? He might hate me. I miss his long blonde hair and he has the brightest smile. Goddess, I miss him. We've been friends since I was little. On my eighteenth birthday, we were going to be formally engaged. We have been betrothed since I was born. He will hate me. Mariah cuts in on my thoughts, No. He loves us just as much as we love him. He was made for us and will understand that we did not choose this.

Why has the Moon Goddess done this to us?

She has her reasons, and we might not understand them, but the reason will come in time. Get out of the shower and get some rest.

There is a knock on the door, then it opens. Luna, Ive come to take you for your workout.

I am ready, Jamie. How are the rest of the guards this morning?

They are all waiting downstairs, the Alpha and Beta are not coming today. I dont think they will be coming at all from now on.

Thats fine I have my favorite men coming along. Jamie, can I ask you something?

Of course, Luna?

Why do you call me Luna?

The Alpha explained to us that you were too young to have a Luna ceremony, but you will be Luna when you are old enough.

I understand. The guards and I talk while I train, and I believe they are starting to respect me. I do know that I have a great deal of respect for them. After hearing what Jamie said it has me thinking, what did he tell the pack about me. This has been a good workout thank you for bringing me. I have learned a lot in the last six weeks.

Luna, we have learned just as much from you and gotten a lot more stamina. Walter replies. I could never run in human form as long as I can now and some of your moves are very useful. Time to go back.
