Eden

Chapter 11: Alternate

I wake up, a bad nightmare making me shake.
I see Jonah walk in and I grin
"Hey princess." He says
"Heya." I shake
He walks over and hugs me
"Hey, it's okay, calm down." He says and I nod
I'm not shaking about the nightmare anymore.
"We need to talk." I blurt
Oh god, I really don't want to talk about this.
"Okay, about what darling?"
"Well. Our options I guess. I should say that Uhm...well I've had two pregnancy scares. I didn't like being put in that position, not that it's your fault, I just...you know?" I say and his eyes widen
"Baby, you should've told me. I'm so sorry I put you through that. Of course we can talk about our options darling."
I'm glad he's open to talking about this.
"I'm sorry." I sniffle and he hugs me tighter
"Darling. Don't be. It's my fault anyway. Cmon, let's talk."
To be honest I'm embarrassed to talk about it with him.
"The obvious choice is protection right? I don't really like that. I love feeling that full when I'm with you." I say and he smiles
"That doesn't leave us with many options." He says and I sigh
"I'm not against birth control." I say and he nods
"It's up to you baby, whatever you want." He explains and I nod
"I think I wanna do that. I love you but I'm just not ready." I say, resting between his spread legs, my head on his chest
"We need to talk about another thing then darling" He sighs
"Oh?" I frown

"Pups, I want to know your opinion in that. I mean it's your body." He says
"Jonah, I promise you I Want pups. It's just a little early for us, right? I don't know. I just know I want them." I sigh
"I want pups too darling."
I kiss him gently and he makes an appointment with the pack doctor.
I press my body into the bed and close my eyes.
I bring my knees to my chest
"Eden, I know you're stressed about something." He says and I shake my head, biting my lip.
"No im not." He frowns at me
"Princess." He sighs and I look at him
"My father. He didn't even know that my mom was pregnant, I don't want that to happen to us but I've already kept some from you. I don't wanna be like her." I sob and he kisses my mark
And my head.
"You aren't like her, princess you have reasons not to share things with me. You know better than to keep the fact that you are pregnant from me." He says and I nod
"I know.." I sigh
"Don't worry angel."
"I've only known you for three weeks, the pack already think I'm a fugitive whore. What would people think!" I sigh and he frowns
"That you are their Luna, and that you should be treated as such." He growls
I squeak and he closes his eyes, trying to calm his wolf
"Sorry." He blurts and I kiss him
"Don't apologise." I smile
I yawn and close my eyes
He wraps his arms around me protectively
"Mine." He mumbles and I smile.
I've grown to like being called his.
I hug him.

I wake up and squeak
"Jonah?" I blurt out, but he isn't here.
I try to push my nightmare of Fras to the back of my mind as I slip out of the room to find my mate.
"J-Jonah?" I say, the nightmare racking my body with fear.
I see a man downstairs and I tense
Come on Eden, you are an extremely well trained wolf. You can hold your own better than most!
I breathe in the scent.
Definitely not Jonah.
I slip away to his office.
I open the door and see Jonah working on something.
"Eden? What's wrong?" He frowns
"Who's the man downstairs?" I whisper
"Who?" He growls
"There's a guy downstairs." I say and he leaves the room.

I whimper, all alone again
I hate being alone.
I hear growls downstairs so I stick my head out
"What the fuck are you done here Jacob." Jonah snarls
"Can't I pay my brother a visit?" Jacob smirks
"Not after what you did you sick bastard." Jonah growls
"Who's that?" Jacob points at me and I dart back
"Doesn't concern you." Jonah growls harder than ever.
"Oh really? Be a shame if something happened to her? But if she isn't important, why would you care." Jacob jabs and Jonah's anger is immense
"Well I gotta go you ass, but I'm sure I'll see you and your little friend up there again soon." He smirks and leaves.
Jonah is in the kitchen, his claws sinking into the table
"J-Jonah?" I say, tears accidentally dripping out of my face.
"Mine." He breathes and I nod
"Jonah, I think I'm going to faint." I blurt
I've never been this scared in my life, the only time that came close was before I met Jonah

He rushes over and holds me.
I cling to him tighter than ever, my heart beating too fast.
Spots form in my vision and Jonah lets out an accidentally growl
I try to calm down
He picks me up and carries me to bed
"He holds me tight and I sob
"Baby can you tell me what's got you so scared.
"That man scares me, and I had a n-nightmare about-t Fras-s." I whimper and he hugs me
"It's okay princess, we'll talk about him later."
He kisses me and I kiss him back
I can't stop shaking
"Oh god Princess." He whimpers
I let out a loud sob.
I close my eyes and try to sleep again.
Who the hell is Jacob, he seems to know Jonah very well.
I don't like the way he spoke about me
Every word seemed to have an alternate meaning.
I sniffle and pull my body closer to Jonah's.
