Already Taken

Chapter Eleven

                    Chapter 11

   Draven returned to the apartment feeling broken and despaired, he really wasn't sure how this was going to work out.

  "Where did you take off to?" Jesse asked when he walked in.

  "I had to go back to my parents." Draven said, sinking down to the couch.

  "Is everything ok?! Is it Ansleigh?! Is the baby ok?!" Jesse fired off questions before Draven could answer them.

  "An is fine. The baby is great. She still has over a month before she should start to get anxious. I had some business to attend to with Ryan."

  "Ryan?" Jesse questioned.

  Draven let out a sigh and then launched into the story about how Ryan was jealous of him, and took his mate as his own. When he finished, Jesse was shaking, trying to keep control of his wolf, he let out a growl.

  "That little bastard. Who the Hell does he think he is to mess with the future Luna like that?"

  "I don't know what he was thinking. I really don't. But it gets worse." Draven told him, shaking as well.

  "I can't see how?" Jesse raised his brow.

  Draven sucked in a deep breath, "He got her pregnant man."

  Jesse's faced visibly paled. "She's carrying his pup?!"

  Draven shook his head, "Just his baby. A human can't carry a wolf pup. Just like she wouldn't be able to go out into the woods, find a feral wolf and get impregnated by it. If a human gets pregnant by someone with the wolf gene in them, the baby will be only human."

  "Oh shit!" Jesse yelled.

  "Yeah, Ryan took off when he found out that his child is not going to be a wolf. I don't know where he went, but for his sake he better hope that it was far away from here."

  Both guys heads snapped up when they heard a light knock on the door. They looked at each other and Jesse shrugged, indicating he didn't know who would be on the other side.

  Draven stood up and walked to the door. As soon as it opened he was met with the eyes of his other half. His chest tightened from seeing the pain that was in them.

  "Eryn?" Draven questioned.

  "Where the Hell is he?!" She yelled at him.

  Draven put his hands up, backing up to allow her to enter.

  "I don't know. He got mad and took off. I don't know where he went, honestly." He told her, then gestured to the couch, "Why don't you have seat?"

  Eryn huffed. "I don't want to sit down! I want to know where the Hell my boyfriend is! You know, I was shocked when he told me about what you guys are." She gave a pointed look at both of the wolves that were in front of her.

"But then he told me that I was his one and only. I was the only one that could complete him. I was a bit skeptical,  but once I seen him transform into a damn wolf, I figured what the Hell. If he can turn into an animal, then why can't he love me unconditionally for the rest of my life? So I did it, I said those words that he told me to say, the words that were so sweet that I will never forget them. I didn't feel any different,  but he was happy, so that made me happy." She stopped and took a shaky breath, before continuing.

  "And then, then I found out that I was pregnant. You would have thought that I had handed him the moon. He was so excited. I was scared, but he said that it would be ok. We would do this together. Now I get a phone call from him telling me that I am not his one true mate, he has taken off to find her, and he doesn't give a shit about what happens to the baby and I. So I'm going to ask you one more time, Where the Hell is he?!"

  Jesse and Draven's mouth both dropped open. Draven walked up to her and went to put his arms around her but she backed up.

  "Don't touch me!" She yelled.

  His broken soul twisted in pain as she pulled away from him.

  "Eryn, please just listen to me. Ryan was lying to you. I am your true mate. I will be the one that will be completed by you, not him."

  "Don't say that. I don't want to hear your lies. All of you wolves are just the same. Mangy mutts who can't keep it in their pants, and can't keep their lies to themselves. And to top it all off, I am now carrying one of your offspring. But don't you worry, I will raise him right. He won't be anything like you guys! He will be honest and respectful. I'm done with all of you!" She turned and walked out, slamming the door.

   As the door closed, Draven collapsed to the floor. His whole world had literally just slammed the door on his future.
