Collared (Dom!UchihaItachi x Sub!Malereader)

Part 12

The pregnancy is going very well. Itachi is also very helpful and protective. Sometimes a bit too protective. He is the kind of father-to-be that doesn't let his pregnant mate do anything. No lifting, no cleaning, no cooking etc. You don't really mind since you feel the love in his actions and he pampers you a lot. He always makes sure you are comfortable.

The clan was very excited to hear the news. A new heir to the Uchiha family is apparently a big deal. Not that you care about that stuff. All you want is for your pup to be healthy and happy. Your stomach is clearly showing by now. After all you are 7 months pregnant.

Suddenly you feel a kick and you quickly call for Itachi. ''Itachi! The pup is moving again come quick.'' Itachi quickly turns to you and lifts his hand. He is always very excited to feel the pup move and can't keep the smile of his face when he does. You quickly grab his hand and move it towards the correct location on your stomach. Itachi smiles as soon as he feels the kick. ''hmm our pup is going to be a strong one judging by its kicks.''

''Haha yeah. I just wish it wouldn't use my kidneys as a ball.'' The two of you sit in silence until a servant comes in. ''I'm sorry to interrupt masters but an urgent summons has come.'' Itachi sits back up and regards the servant with a blank look. ''A summons from whom?'' The servant diverts her eyes to the floor, intimidated by Itachi's dominant aura. You can tell Itachi is not happy to have his time with you and the pup interrupted. ''From the elders master. The summons is for you specifically.''

You can tell Itachi is reluctant to leave your side. ''I'll be fine Itachi. I'll stay in our room to wait for you. I could use a nap.'' You smile at him and squeeze his hand to reassure him. ''But you'll be home alone. They should know better than to summon me now.'' ''I promise I'll stay in our room and if I need something I'll tell one of the servants.''

Itachi is still very reluctant but he knows not to ignore an urgent summons. At least your promise eases his mind somewhat. Itachi first takes his time to take you to the room. With a lot of reluctance and a very sullen mood he finally leaves, with a promise to come back within 3 hours. You just hope the elders will survive his wrath.

You let out a yawn and change your clothes in something more comfortable to sleep in. You quickly crawl inside the comfy bed and grab Itachi's pillow. The scent on his pillow helps you fall asleep faster.

CRASH

You are startled awake when you hear something crash. When you look around you see nothing out of order. You get out of bed and walk towards the door and open it. Giving a glance towards your surroundings you still don't see anything. 'One of the servants must have dropped something.'

Now that you're awake nature calls again and you quickly go towards the adjoined bathroom. When you're done you go back towards the bedroom. You suddenly stop in the middle of the room. Your senses telling you something is wrong. Sniffing the air doesn't help since your sense of smell is off due to the pregnancy.

Unfortunately you notice too late that someone is standing behind you. Suddenly a cloth is pressed to your nose and mouth. You try to scream for help and struggle to get yourself free. Your energy is draining when you can't help but breathe in the chemicals on the cloth. Before your consciousness completely fades you can hear a dark chuckle. ''You will be in my care from now on.''

~~~~~

When Itachi finally arrives at his destination he doesn't see the elders in the council room. He quickly walks away to find one of the elders. After a little while of searching he finds Kenzo walking in the halls. ''Kenzo! What is going on? Why did you send me an urgent summons?'' Kenzo stops in his tracks and looks at Itachi surprised. ''What do you mean Itachi-sama? What urgent summons are you talking about?''

''I received an urgent summons a little while ago.'' Kenzo looks at Itachi in confusion. "I assure you Itachi-sama we did not send out an urgent summon. There is no need for your presence here.'' Itachi is now starting to get suspicious. ''Why would I receive a false summoning?'' Both Kenzo and Itachi look at each other in alarm and realization.

''Go quickly Itachi-sama! Check if he's safe. I'll send word to your family.'' Itachi doesn't stay to listen to Kenzo's words. He quickly runs towards his home, hoping his mate is safe and sound. He runs all the way there and goes inside quickly. He immediately notices a servant unconscious on the floor. When he hears a heartbeat and breathing he quickly runs towards his bedroom. He tears open the door and panic settles in when he doesn't find his mate in the room or in the bathroom.

He sees signs of a struggle and his heart breaks when he knows that his pregnant mate has been taken. He releases a howl filled with agony at the loss of his mate and unborn pup. 'I will find who did this and make them pay.' His eyes turn red and are filled with fury.
