The Tale Of A Pregnant Luna
Chapter Eleven

I walked home, only to see the door unlocked. Panicking, I entered in arush. Mom. That's the only thing that was running through my brain.trying to take deep breaths, i walked towards her room only for hersobs to scho through the hallway. i panicked slightly at hearing herquivering voice. Why was she crying? Soon I heard a voice. One I'dnever forget. One I'd want to rather die than have seated in my home.rushing to the bedroom, I threw the door open, allowing it to slamagainst the wall. my rage intensifying as our eyes locked. It made nosense for him to be here. He had no reason to be here at all.

he sat near her bedside as moims eyes continued to water tears. justwhat had he done? was not tormenting me enough? did he have totorment my family too?

"What are you here?" I demanded. "What!" I yelled, my heart thumpingin my chest inn anger and i sadness. Mom, startled, jumped slightly, hereyes widening at my sudden outburst.

"I came to speak to your mother.” he explained non-chalantly.

"Why would you come see her? as far as i knw there is nop businessbetween you and i for you to pay my mother a visit." My wordsdripping with venom.

"Indeed, There shouyldnt be a reason for me to visit, But you wouldntbelieve me if i said i came to inquire about your well-being because youhave been acting weird all day.” he said, his eyes flashing an alienemotion.

I instantly scowled at his words, who does he think he is? "Forgive mybehavior alpha,” I mocked, "-but who are you to come into my houseand speak of my well being, and that too especially with my mother? Ifyou have a heart, you wouldnt be here right now." I spat out.

"I am your alpha and i am your mate, so I do care, even if ive rejectedyou, the mate bond still exists. so i have no choice but to worry.” Hespoke without a hint of emotion. Even though the words were notmeant to have an effect on me at aoll, here i was, hurtby his words, hurtby his outward demeanor.

"Yes you are my alpha, but my mate? You lost the right to call me thatthe moment you uttered the words 'reject’, or have you forgotten? andeven if the mate bond is forcing your actions, wouldnt ignorimg it be inyour best favour, alpha?" I asked him.

He looked like he was hurting for a split second, but hurt and him, dodnot belong in the same sentence. what ight did he have to feel "Hurt",he did not deserve that emotion. "You seem fine, i guess i was worriedfor nothing.” he said as he stood up, his tall frame, a hand reach away."Then you may leave. being in your presence is sickening and i dontwant to feel your phermones or your scent. Stay away from my familyand Stay away from my mother. Get out of my Lif-" i froze i felt mynausea resurfacing. Why now? i wanted to kick something. unable tohold the urge, i ran, hitting my shoulder against the wall as a sharp painmade its way upo my arm, rushing out the door and making my way tothe bathroom.

I felt my breathing all as i emptied the contents of my stomach in thebathroom. breathing heavily, i felt my body weaken. This was the worst.A hand pulled my hair back bringing me back to reality. pushing awayfrom him, I felt my back hit the bathtub. Ah, I was going to bruisetoday.

"Don't Touch me." I spat out. as i tried steadying my breathing.

feeling fine, i stood up and headed to the basin, rinsing my mouth.Turning around i came face to face with Reese's eyes. His body stoodconcerned as he watched my every movement. almost as though i wasgoing fall and break at any given chance. my mind began tocontemplate telling him the truth. making him suffer and bringing himdown. making him miserable in a relationship tied to me. but... I couldnoty do that. I couldn't do that to mysel and I couldnt do that to mychild.

"I'm-, Ihave been having food poisoning.” I blurted out. He stared at mefor a moment to detect any motion of lies on my face.

Not saying anything, he continued to observe my demeanor, beforesighing and simply nodding as though seeing right through me.

why did i feel as though i was about to cry? H e didnt deserve my tears.he didnt deserve my sympathy. he looked as though he hadn't slept indays, my heart clenching at the sight of his dishvelled appearance.shaking my head slightly, i refused to let myself fall victim to the matebond. he had already broke my heart and lost my trust. He didntdeserve me, He didnt deserve... Our child.

He opened his mouth as though about to say something beforeholding back and closing his mouth. he put on a small smile, beforespeaking up, "Well then, I'll be taking my leave now." he said as hewalked out of the bathroom

I heard the front door close as I bent down. *I hope I'm doing the rightthing*.

Sighing, I walked out of the bathroom and into mom's room with ascowl on my face.

"How could you let him in?" I asked her, my heart aching.

She smild sadly as she looked my way, her eyes holding a sorrowfullook. He probablysaid something.

"Why are you smiling as though you're aboput to cry?" i queestionedwith a tremble in my voice. "What did he say mom?"

She shook her head at me, "I wish you'd bpoth try to understand eachother." she said making me laugh out at her words. "Honey, know, hemeans well but is doing it in the wrong way, he just wants-" I cut heroff.

"Understand? Mean well? Mom, he hurt me. He didnt even think twicebefore doing so. what more is there to understand? The least hecouldve done if her wanted me to "understand" was for him to talk tome, but what had he done? he humiliated me." I said as the tearsstarted rolling.

Wiping away my pathetic stature and feelings, I simply turned to her,"Mom, if you love me and you don't want me to suffer, don't ever seehim again. Please.” I requested. "I have work, ill see you soon.” I saidmaking my way out of her bedroom, before she could answer.

I got ready and walked out before saying goodbye to mom. I arrived atthe house, my mind drifting slowly, only to be pushed down on thefloor by one of Lillian's followers bringing me back to reality. Or shouldI say the "Luna's" followers? This made no sense whatsoever.

Soon a scream was heard. I swear if you were in Antarctica, you couldhear it. Or even the ice three would Crack or better shatter into trillionsof pieces.

"What have you done to my mate?!?" she screamed. Now I was veryconfused.
