Killing My Alpha Mate
Chapter 68

"Pregnant" I breathe that's... that's...I don't know the name of it.

Of course, I am happy, but I don't want a baby now. With the issues of the crown a baby will only slow me down and if the crown gets to know we have one last defendant for the bloodline they'll want to get my child. A small knock on the door pulls me from my daze.

Nisha walks in slowly a slight smile on her lips

"So how did it go?" Nisha asks softly sitting next to me on the bed.

"Fine" I state simply clutching the reports in hand.

"Don't give me that bullshit what did the reports say" her tone sharp, I could hear the concern lace with it.

Though I and Nisha just met recently she's been nothing but an Angel, I've developed a connection deeper than her being my friend.

She's the only female I could turn to, one I could trust with my life, who I've come to cherish because of her care, her stubborn attitude I've grown to love and her beautiful smile.

The news of my first child has left a mark on me. I haven't gotten enough time to think about what having a child might mean.

And honestly, I'm scared, a child around the crisis we're all facing, will I be able to pull through with this baby or even survive long enough to give birth to this child?

"Well, Hailey..." Nisha patiently says, patting my hand softly.

"Nisha..." I say with a sigh." I'm pregnant"

Her expression runs wild with shock before she brightens up and then pulls me into a tight hug.

"Ahhhhhh!" She yells in glee.

"Oh my God I can't believe it, Hailey, you're having a baby" She says jumping from the bed.

"The moon goddess be praised. I mean Is he a boy? Is she a girl? What are we going to name her or him oh my this is too much to take in" She stops pacing finally realizing I'm not sharing the same enthusiasm she is. "Hailey are you alright? Are you feeling fine? nauseous, a fever?" She inquires softly.

"No Nisha I'm fine it's just a baby that's a big deal" I say staring into space, a lot of responsibilities.

I was planning to have a child once we resolve the issues concerning the crown once and for all.

"What are you saying Hailey, don't you want this child?" Nisha asks, sounding a bit sad.

"No no not, that I want a child but Nisha it's a bit early to have one" her mouth forms a small 'o' as she stares at me a bit confused.

"Well, how do you tell Jaden?" She voices my fear.

Jaden has mentioned having children. I'm sure he will be happy and I'm sure he'll end all my attempts in replaceing the crown.

He will isolate me and try to protect me and guard my room heavily to ensure my safety.

No!

Nobody knows how ruthless those monsters are except me, including the fact I am a target. Something in my blood helps the serum soon enough. They'll come for me, that's why we have to get to them first and clear my father's name. "Please Nisha promise me you'll not tell anyone about this not even Elijah till I can figure out something I need just a little more time" I plead desperately holding her hand in mine, looking straight into her eyes.

"No problem Hailey, your secret is safe with me" she says calmly and I believe her.

"We should head back to the pack house you are still having the baby so you need proper care and rest"

"Nisha..."

"What? I ain't telling no-one I just want to ensure you and the baby are faring well plus you haven't eaten

The mention of food makes my tummy rumble sure I'll eat and maybe rest since I feel a little bit tired but that's just it.

Nisha helps me out of the bed and we exit the hospital.

She drives a bit slower than she normally does and I'm certain it's because of the baby.

When we arrive at the pack house I hide the pregnancy results in a drawer I know Jaden hardly visits, pushing it underneath a lot of files.

Hopefully, I'll get enough guts and finally come clean but till then it's our little secret.

I stare at myself in the mirror twirling in my pink dress, hands on my belly my imagination runs wild as I envision how I'll look with a baby's bump.

I envision her lovely smile and cute cheekbones.

Will she take on her mother's red hair or her father's, what will be the color of her eyes?

I know I'll protect this child with everything I have.

I hold promises of an amazing future for her or him, one where she can run around having no fear of turning into a mind control wolf or a mindless zombie.

I cringe at the thought, no child should ever go through what Sal did or the guy in the woods.

Hopefully Jaden and Ride will replace something useful since they have been gone for a while.

There's a knock on the door, stepping away from the mirror I stride to the door, pulling the door open to a maid with a tray in hand.

Nisha had gone through the trouble of cooking for me.

"Miss Nisha assigned me to deliver this Luna Hailey" she says with a bow.

A vegetable, chicken noodle soup.

I take the tray from her hands smiling at her as she leaves.

Got stem up the plate indicating it's hot. I drop it on the bedside table. I'll give it a few minutes to cool.

I hop in bed wondering where Nisha is when the door flings open Jaden steps in with a look I don't like.

"Hailey we have a bit of a problem" he begins.

I gulp hard and we're back to square one.

"You didn't replace anything did you?" I question sitting up, praying badly he'll prove my theory wrong.

"Not really, I won't say that, I'll let Ride explain" he says stepping aside.

Ride walks in, struggling with a small girl who's trying to break free from his grasp.
