Forbidden Bonds

Chapter 5

Sebastian

Sebastian drives over to his best friend's house. He gets out of his car and knocks on the door. His best friend, Kade, answers the door. "Hey man," Kade says, "What are you doing here? Did your mate come back?"

"She's back, and she still didn't tell me about her pregnancy until I told her I already knew!" Sebastian shouts, angrily.

"Wait, she's pregnant? With whose baby? There's no way that baby is yours, right?"

"It's not mine! She says that it's Alpha Nathan's baby!"

"What? Dude, he's the reason your father is dead!"

"I know! I don't know what to do! If I reject her Kai will never talk to me again, but if I accept her, I'll hate myself and my mother might hate me!"

"Why would you hate yourself?"

"Because that means I'm okay with being with the species that killed my father!"

"She's a witch?"

"Half witch, half wolf."

"That does complicate things a bit."

"Mind if I crash here for a few days? I need to clear my head."

"Of course, man. You're always welcome here."

"Thanks."

Skye

Skye manages to cry herself to sleep. The next morning, she wakes up feeling exhausted. She gets up and goes downstairs, finding Gray and Theo already eating breakfast.

"Mama!" They greet her, happily.

"Good morning," she says softly. She turns to Alice and asks, "Did the Alpha come home last night?"

"No, he did not," Alice answers.

"Oh." Her shoulder's slump and she looks down at the ground. "Thank you." She sits down and begins to nibble on the plate of food the housekeeper puts in front of her. After a few bites, she pushes the plate away. "I'm sorry," she whispers, "I'm not very hungry right now."

"Mama?" Gray asks, "May we go to the park today?"

Skye smiles sadly and says, "Okay, we can go to the park today. Finish your breakfast and brush your teeth. I'll help you and your brother get ready afterwards, okay?"

"Okay!"

She wanders upstairs to her room and changes into clean clothing. Afterwards, she lays down on her bed. Her stomach begins to churn as she lays on her bed. She gently places her hand on her stomach and whispers, "Baby, please. You're making me sick" Of course, pleading doesn't work and she rushes to the bathroom, just in time for the small breakfast she'd eaten to come back up.

Once she finishes vomiting, she rinses her mouth out and brushes her teeth. As she's walking back into her room, there's a knock on the door.

"Mama? Ready?" Theo asks.

"I'm coming," she responds, sounding tired. She leaves her bedroom and follows her boys to their room. "Alright, what do you guys want to wear today?"

"Mama pick!" Gray blurts out.

Skye sighs and begins to sort through the boy's clothing that Alpha Sebastian provided them. She eventually settles for shorts and a striped t-shirt for Gray and shorts and a green t-shirt for Theo. "Okay, let's get you two dressed, then we can go to the park."

After the boys are dressed, they head downstairs. Before they leave Skye tells Alice that they're going to the park.

Once they're at the park, Gray and Theo run off and Skye sits down on one of the park's benches. Eventually, one of the other mothers there approaches her and says, "Hey, you should really be watching your kids."
