Waking up to an empty bed after giving yourself to your mate wasn't
how she pictured it to play out. But yet there she was, as she woke up
from her sleep she still felt exhausted after last night's events.
Her cheeks redden as she recollected the events of the previous night.
She runs her hands along the other side of the bed, hoping to find
Adryan's warm body but only comes up empty, when she feels the
emptiness beside her where she was sure he had been yesterday.
The essence of their actions still lingered in the air around her room,
she felt cheap and embarassed at herself for throwing herself at him so
pathetically. She felt used, and slowly the anger inside her started to
stir. She hated him for making her feeling these unknown emotions.
She wished she could go back and time and undo her actions from last
night.
She smelt the metallic scent of blood. Lovering her hands to her nether
regions she feels wetness around her core and on the bedsheets she
previously laid on. She sighs as her shoulders dropped with exhaustion.
2 month later
"Hello, Jade? Are you there?â Earth to Jade" Violets voice snaps Jade
out of her thoughts.
"huh?" Jade asks with confusion. She didn't hear what Violet was talking
about. Nowadays, all she could think about was that night. No matter
how hard she tried not to go back to those memories she couldn't help
herself.
Jade and Violet were sat in Jade's room talking about random things.
"Are you okay, Jade? You seem to be lost in a daze? â" Violet
questions her. Worry seeping into her voice as she looked at Jade.
Something seemed to change within her for the past few weeks. Her
normal tan complexion looked pale now, with dark circles under her
eyes.
"I'm okay Violet, it's just that I haven't been getting enough sleep â"
the feeling of bile rising hits her, she cups her mouth as her eyes
widens. Running towards the direction of the bathroom, she empties
the content of her stomach into the toilet. She could feel Violet
standing behind her, holding back Jade's long hair away from her face.
She stands up on her feet after she was sure that she wouldn't feel like
emptying the contents of her stomach again. She rests her back onto
the wall behind her.
For the past week, she had been vomiting for almost every morning
and honestly speaking, she felt tired and exhausted. Jade had been
hauled up in her room ever since and the only person she ever
socialized with was Violet.
Violets brows furrow in confusion. She couldn't pinpoint what was
wrong with Jade, untill a throught entered her mind. Was she â was
she pregnant?! Now that she thought about it, Jade's scent had
changed over the past few weeks. It was faint but if you were a
werewolf of a higher rank you'd easily picked upon the scent.
"Jade, by any chance could you be uh â pregnant?â Violets question
made Jade still. Jade had thought about the same a few times but she
didn't want to believe it yet. She wasn't stupid to believe it was some
bug or food poisoning. She was a werewolf. Werewolves don't get sick
easily, they have strong immune system and Jade had never ever been
sick before in her life.
"I â 1 don't, maybe" Jade replies back in a small voice.
"Did you have sex?!" Violet asks her making Jade's cheek turn red.
"Yes"
"Oh" Violets eyes widen with Jade's answer. She was sure it was Adryan.
Jade didn't look like the type to give herself to anyone other than her
mate.
Violet guides Jade towards the sink, helps her wash and clean her
mouth with some mouth wash. She asks Jade to sit on the counter
beside the sink while she went and picked up something
"Where are you going?" Jade asks her with confusion.
"I'm going to pick up some pregnancy tests from the pack clinic, and
don't worry I wouldn't tell a soul about this" she adds after knowing
what was circulating Jade's mind. After knowing each other for a few
months, Violet was able to pick up on certain things even without Jade
having to voice it out.
Jade nods her head, thankful for Violet's help.
Jade waits for Violet to comeback, meanwhile her mind wanders back
to the question that circled her mind â what if she was actually
pregnant? what was she supposed to do?.
Her trail of thought come to a halt when she feels Violet entering the
bathroom once again, only this time with the pregnancy tests clutched
in her hands.
"Here" Violet places the test in her Jade's hands. Explaining to her that
she just has to pee on the stick and wait for about three minutes for it
to reveal the test results.
After doing as told, both of them wait for the results. Jade could feel
herself get more nervous and anxious as the time passed by. Silence
filled the air around them as they waited for the results.
"I think it would be done by now" Violet says, breaking the silence. Jade
couldn't help but play with her fingers, a nervous habit of hers. She
could feel her heart beating loudly in her ears as she waits for Violet to
speak.
Violet looks at the tests, that laid on the counter. She takes in a breath
when she gets a glimpse of the results. She had bought three of them
since the results weren't necessarily hundred percent legit. her eyes
move towards the rest of the tests. She heaves a sigh.
All of them showed the same thing.
Positive.
"What does it say?" Jade asks her, nervousness lacing her voice.
"I- you're pregnant, Jade. All of the test says so." Violet replies.
Jade could feel her heart drop, tears brim her eyes when her mind
comes up blank, she couldn't see a future ahead of her. And on top of
that, taking care of a child was out of the box.
"Hey" Violet shakes her shoulders, getting Jade to snap out of her
trance.
"I-" she takes in a shaky breath in "What am I going to do? I can hardly
look after myself how am I going to look after a baby?" She couldn't
still come to terms with the fact that she was really pregnant.
"We have to tell Adryan-" Violet starts to say only be stop speaking
when she sees Jade shake her head in a no wildly.
"No, No. You can't do that" Jade says, then her eyebrows scrunch in
confusion "wait, why would we tell him?" She asks Violet.
Violet's eyes widen at her slight slip up.
"Uhâ Look, I know you and Adryan are mates. I've known about it from
the day you've arrived.â Violet speaks the truth, there was no point in
lying.
"What? No. That's not true" Jade tries denying causing Violet to roll her
eyes at her words.
"Jade, I've a mate myself. Besides, I'm an observant person. I could tell
you both were mates by how you both acted around each other, also
how Adryan gets pissed everytime he saw you with Nate was a dead
giveaway." Violet says, making Jade's mouth to drop open in shock.
"You can't tell him, Violet" Jade pleads. She didn't want to tell him. He
might be the father of her child but what was the guarantee that he
wouldn't reject her child, even though he didn't reject her it was clear
that he wanted nothing to do with her.
"Why?, it's his child isn't it?" Violets asks with confusion. If Adryan knew
about this, surely he can help out with the situation.
"He doesn't even wants anything to do with me Violet. All he does is
sleep around with her. What makes you think that he'd want this child?
Beside, I want to leave." Jade whispers the last sentence in a small voice.
"NO. Are you out of your mind Jade?! You're carrying the heir to one of
the most powerful Alpha of our time, you can't just leave.â Violet says
incredously.
Jade shakes her head, she was adamant on leaving.
Violet was tormented. Jade had become her best friend and then there
was Adryan, her Alpha.
She as a pack member and The Beta Female should inform her Alpha all
necessary information she gets regarding to things related to the pack.
It was one of the rules. But, how was she supposed to hide this? Hide
the fact that he was soon going to be a father?
Violet sighs.
"Okay" pinching the bridge of her nose, she continues speaking "I will
help you leave, but you should not speak about this to anyone else, or
about the fact that I'm helping you" Violet looks at Jade, who now
seems a bit relieved when she heard the part where Violet would help
her escape without anyone knowing, especially Adryan.
Jade nods her head in reply.
"Seems like we have an escape mission to planâ.
