The Unwilling Luna.

Chapter 9

~ Angelique

"Ava tell me?" I plead very desperate looking at her intensely, raw emotion evident in my eyes.

She wiped her face with her hands and amidst sniffs she said "I didn't abort it Angelique, I wanted to, I was going to but I couldn't"

Relief broke out all over me and my tensed body relaxed "What stopped you?" I drawled a little pissed at her cowardice and inmaturity.

She rubbed her hands and seemed to drift off into a distant yet pleasant memory "my mother stopped me. I was about to take some pills but then I saw her smiling face and I couldn't continue"

She turned her back on me "I'm not proud of what I was thinking and I'm ashamed of myself and I know Gabe will never forgive me for -"

Gabe's entrance sliced through sentence" forgive you for what?"

She quickly pivoted to face us nearly stumbling in the process. Gabe rushed to her side steadying her.

"Whoa careful babe don't want you hurting yourselves" he said joy expressed clearly on his face.

Ava's eyes grew wide "yourselves"

Gabe smiled as though to himself "Dr. Stein mind linked me and told me the news and Beta excused me for today, family emergency he said"

Ava forced a smile and Gabe saw it, he knew her so well . A frown appeared on Gabe's attractive features.

"What's wrong, aren't you feeling well?" He started circling her, searching for signs of irregularities.

A hoarse laugh escaped Ava's lips" what's wrong with you? Why are you acting so weird and stop that I'm perfectly fine" she said and I detected a hint of irritation in her voice.

Gabe pulled back a bit "I'm worried about my pup and my pregnant mate" Gabe countered a little taken aback by her response.

"I knew this would happen!" Ava complained.

Gabe looked confused "what would happen again?"

"This" she reiterated throwing her hands around in frustration "we're now that rehearsed, old fashioned boring couple! No more hot sex and crazy make out sessions in inappropriate places" she yelled annoyed.

Okay! That's my cue

"Ummm guys I think I should-" I started but she nodded and motioned to the door "solve your issues guys and congratulations on the pup"

With that I took a much needed exit closing the door behind me gently. With I sigh I relaxed back into the door.

Well that was intense

"Angelique get down here immediately!" Mother shreaked through mind link.

Her shrill voice has no mercy when it comes to me. It won't rest till it gives me a headache.

Heathen

She could put the banshee to shame. I trudge out of bed, tripping on my blanket that knots around my feet.

Ouch!

My sleep induced haze reduces the intensity of the fall but I know when I'm out of it, it'll hurt like a bitch.

I brush my teeth and comb my putting it up in a stiff knot atop my head, just the way my mother wants it.

She hates that I let my hair down, she thinks it uncouth and disorderly for a lady . She's just so uptight .

After some powder and applying the faintest amount of mascara and lip gloss, I'm pleased to say I managed to pull off the natural look.

Dressed in long wavy yet casual dress that goes down past my ankles I walk elegantly down the staircase, nose up and chin held high.

I snort unladylikely at my façade. Who am I kidding? I'll never be her and I don't want to.

"Where are you
