The Tale Of A Pregnant Luna
Chapter Fifteen

**Chapter 15:**

A week had gone by and continuously meeting with the real estateagent, I had finally found an apartment I felt was going to be it. Ilooked ahead of me, the wind blew towards me, my hair flying indifferent directions. This was where I was going to stay for the nextcouple of years. The rent was decent and the place had been placed abit away from the suburbs. Sure it wasn't the quietest places, but itshould suffice if I needed to transport to and from. I touched the bellythat was slowly beginning to show.

My New life started here.

Entering the apartment I headed to the bedroom, flopping myself onthe comfortable bed. I let out a sigh as I let my thoughts wander. It'sjust us now. Funny how lonely it sounded just thinking about it. I laid tomy side, picking up my phone in hopes one of the places I had appliedfor work to would call and let me know I had been accepted. Gettingaway from Reese was one difficult thing but starting life a new in aplace unfamiliar and foreign was even more difficult. Sighing I stood upand made my way towards the door. I needed to get some fresh air. Allof this was overwhelming. I smiled as the bright sun touched my skin."*Positive vibes, Collen!*" I said to myself trying to pick up my mood.Walking down the street I've become familiar to for the past few days, Ilet out a deep breath. There was no fretting about what couldn't bechanged. All the "ifs" needed to be erased. I close my eyes for amoment, I suddenly felt myself bump into someone. Embarrassingly, ithad enough impact to back me almost fall back. The person had caughtmy hand, helping me steady myself.

"Are you okay madam?” a deep voice questioned in a thick Frenchaccent. Shying away, i pulled away from him in embarrassment.

"I'm perfectly fine, just a little clumsy and spaced out.” I smiled. I lookedup only to be taken back slightly. He was quite good looking. Tall, withsandy blond hair and green eyes. He bent down studying my face for asecond. I felt myself step back at how close this man was. Was there nodefinition of boundaries in this mand vocabulary?

"You must be new around here, haven't seen a face like yours aroundthis side of town." he said hitting a nail. He must be acquainted withthis place. I nodded confirming his answer.

"We don't get a lot people moving in around here, they say it's infestedwith Vampires and Werewolves" he said making a clawing effect withhis hands. "-but that's not true, they're myths. The only thing you reallyneed to be careful with is walking home late, cause then the onlyvampires and werewolves are those who harass everyone else.” hechuckled, I Laughed awkwardly along with his innocent gesture. If onlyhe knew...

"I see” I said my eyes diverting.

He looked at me and smiled, "Forgive my manners, we have not evenintroduced ourselves and I was already blabbering. I might seem likesome weird man. Pardon, my name is Alex Montezuma. And who mightyou be?" he questioned.

"Colleen, Colleen Anderson." I replied and he nodded

"I guess you're American, based on your accent?" he said.

"Yes, I guess the accent does give it away." I smiled.

"You seem too young to be here on your own, are you here with yourfamily?" he asked. I don't think we were close enough for him to askthat many questions.

"Ah, sorry, I seem to have made you uncomfortable.” he said realizingmy discomfort. "I guess that's too much of a personal question.” hesmiled.

He seemed to mean no harm. But it was still new place that I was notfamiliar with. Nothing Better than being safe than sorry. His eyes driftedtowards my belly a few times before clearing his throat, making melaugh out loud at the curiosity that glimmered in his eyes.

"I'm sorry if this question is out of line but, are you pregnant Colleen, orare you like this.” he questioned pointing at the small baby bump.“Always like this' that seemed a bit offensive. "I happen to be pregnant,yes." I replied a bit bitterly.

"Does he know? Your boyfriend or husband I mean, does he knowyou're carrying hid child?" he asked concerned. I shook my head. "Butdon't you think that's bad considering, if he replaces out he's going to takethem away from you." he said.

"he won't.” I said my mood dropping. If he did I wouldn't be here in thissituation, now would I? He wasn't ever going to replace me. Not like hewas looking in the first place.

"If I were your boyfriend and you kept this hidden from me, I'd honestlyhate you. But perhaps he did something for you to keep quiet.” I staredat him. This man was intrusive.

"Well, I don't think that s for you to judge, don't you think so Alex?"

"I guess I have crossed a line yet again. I'm really sorry.”

"Well, I don't think that's any of your business. But even if there was areason, I don't think I can ever forgive him." I said my words pricklingwith thorns.

He didn't deserve that kind of mercy. He didn't deserve that kind offorgiveness. He didn't deserve us

"Colleen would you like to join me for dinner?" he asked.

"I don't think I should. Plus I need to head downtown, so I could checkup for more available work.” I smiled.

"Work?" he asked.

"Yeah, the food isn't going to put itself on the table and the rent isn'tgoing to pay itself, you know." he chuckled at my statement.

"Well, if its work you're looking for, I own the diner downtown, wouldyou like to work there? We're a little short on hands, I could set aninterview for you." he asked with a bright smile.

"Really?" I asked.

Was this the moon goddess's way of making things easier for me?"Should we head there now?" he asked. I nodded eagerly. Somethingwas finally going right in my life.

**Reese’s POV** *(Sorry for the switches in POV, it will end soon!)*

I had been here for a week, searching place after place. Being in acountry where there aren't many packs, makes it difficult to tracksomeone down. I hauled a cab after looking through a couple morehotels. Where could she have gone? Was she okay? Was the baby okay?Getting in the Taxi, I directed the driver to the hotel I had been stayingat. The driver seemed to be in a good mood as he spoke about thetrips he had been making to the airport and all the tips he had beengiven. Smiling along with him to appease him his next words had mefrozen.

"There had also been that nice young girl last week who had tipped megenerously.” he said.

"A young girl?" I asked furrowing my eyebrows.

"Yes, she looked American, well at least from the accent I had heard,seemed to be going through a lot at the time. I hope she’s doing well."he smiled.

"Do you know which hotel she stayed at?" I asked him.

"Hmm, I think it was Marine Gold, the one near the airport.” he saidmaking me want to bang my head against the window.

Of course shed stay there.

"Could you take me to that hotel then?" I asked as he noddedconfused.

I was going to replace her, and I was going to replace her now.
