*NOT EDITED*
Violet's POV-
It's been a month and half since everything happened. A whole month and a half since we defeated the war against the hunters, a month and a half since I found out I was pregnant, and it's been 4 weeks since I've last seen William.
After telling him there was now way in hell that I was killing this baby, he's been really...distant.
At first he was there for me during my recovery, but after that week was over, I just started seeing him less and less. My father and Uncle say that he's been training to control his Dendrix, but even if that was true, shouldn't he have at least a few minutes to check in with me? To tell me he's okay and that he loves me...us. It's different now because he can't even look at me. When I enter a room, he makes an excuse and leaves. That's how it was for two straight weeks and I've tried confronting him, but he just doesn't give me the time of day anymore and it's breaking my heart.
I need him the most right now...and he's acting like I don't even exist.
I looked down at my now round stomach with blurry vision, then looked back into the full length mirror. I was back at my parent's castle. I was with William and his pack for a few days, but I got so lonely that I couldn't handle it. At least here I had my parents who I knew loved me unconditionally.
I looked at my dull grey eyes, my skin that paler than usual. My cheek bones are more prominent with the weight loss I've undergone. I'm not the fierce warrior I once was, but that's okay. As long as my baby was receiving all the energy in order to survive, I was fine with it. It's just... I can literally feel my Dendrix detaching itself from me. My wolf has been long gone since the day William has ignored our presence. My Dendrix has tried making the effort to nourish our baby, but with the absence of our mate, I'm dying faster than I should be. I'm getting weaker and weaker by the hour and I just pray to who is ever out there, to give me enough strength to at least make it through these last few weeks in order for my baby to live.
"Princess, it's dinner time," I heard someone knock on the other side of my bedroom door.
"Coming," I called out. I slowly took my time waddling to the door, opening it and letting the guard at my door wrap his arm around me in order for him to support my weight. Yes, as much as I hate to admit it, I'm getting too weak to walk by myself. Teleportation isn't even an option in my condition.
Slowly we walked downstairs and to the grand dining room where my parents were already seated. James and Melanie were here, Bates and Heather (William's beta and little sister) were here as well. Other guards and my father second and third in command, with their mates were seated too. Slowly I walked to my chair with the assistance of my guard, and he helped me sit down across from my mother who was seated at my father's left, with me on his right.
"How are you darling?" my father rested his hand on top of mine.
"Fine," I smiled. I could tell no one believed me, and I was starting to doubt if I was even fine at all, as well.
"How did the appointment go today?" Bates tried steering the conversation away, which I was grateful for.
"It went great, thank you Heather and Melanie for going with me," I smiled at them.
"Anything for our future...." they shut up and gave me a look.
My mother dropped her silver ware and looked at me with excited eyes.
"You know the sex?!" she questioned. She was as happy as any grandmother would be with the news of her first grandchild.
I grinned as all the attention went on me, I pulled out the picture of my ultrasound and it was immediately snatched by mother who looked at it while my father leaned towards her to get a look.
She started squealing and then the picture was passed around the table, ending with Bates and Heather who were to my left.
They were staring at it in awe, as well as everyone else.
"It's a boy," I grinned not able to hide my excitement.
Everyone started cheering and it was crazy, they all congratulated me and I was able to quickly wipe away the tears that were falling.
Suddenly I froze, as well as everyone else. I smelled him, his scent was so close. I looked at the entrance and waited for him to make his appearance, but if anything it stayed behind the wall that led to the living room, before it started disappearing as he got further and further away from...me.
My right hand went to my heart and my left hand around my waist. I looked towards my plate, trying to ignore everyone's looks of sympathy and pity. I've seen enough of those to last me a lifetime...or what was left.
"THIS IS BULLSHIT!" Bates shouted and I jumped, not expecting his sudden outburst. He stood up, his chair toppling over as he stormed away from the dining room and towards William's disappearing scent.
My father cleared his throat and everyone went back to eating.
"Eat something sweetie, you and my grandson need it," my father coaxed.
"He's gonna grow up strong and a fighter, like his mother," my mom smiled.
I covered my mouth with my hand and tried to keep the tears at bay. Despite the doctors wishes to tell my father, I ordered him not to tell anyone about my condition. Why bother trying to find something to help me that I knew wouldn't exist. This is the way of life and there was nothing that could get in the way of fate.
They just think William's acting like this because of his Dendrix.
"Honey, what's wrong?" my mother asked.
The hormones were getting to me, the tears just won't stop.
"Violet," I looked up at my parents.
***
Minutes later I was in bed with a tray of food next to me, since I wasn't able to eat anything downstairs. My parents were in front of my bed, Heather, Melanie, and James were in here as well.
"Well?" The tears haven't stopped and nothing has stopped then, there was nothing anyone could do to help me, except for one person and he doesn't even want to see me.
"T-the day I found out I was pregnant...I also received some more news," I wiped away the tears and made sure my voice wouldn't crack anymore.
Everyone was waiting for me to continue, "There's a high chance that I won't make it through the birth of my child," I whispered, but everyone heard me. It was chaos from there, everyone was freaking out. I explained to them the same thing that the doctor has said to me and the chances I had that I would survive.
"This is preposterous!" My father yelled.
My mother was by my side hugging me, as were the girls while James and my father were going into a rage.
"If this is true, then why is William being so distant, if now is the time you need him the most?" Melanie asked and the dam of tears once again broke free.
"H-he doesn't w-want the ba-baby, h-he told me to k-kill it," I sobbed into my mothers chest.
My father and James froze, they shared one look before they both disappeared from the room.
We all went quiet though when we heard a powerful smash ring through the castle. You could hear a pin needle hit the ground, that's how quiet it was.
All of us zoned out to focus our hearing, trying to figure out what was going on.
"What the fuck?!" oh how much I missed his voice.
"How could you!" James yelled as we heard something else smash, making us wince.
"What do you mean?"
"Listen James, I've already talked to him, he isn't listening," Bates' voice rang out.
"Give me that! You don't deserve this," we heard him snatch something.
William growled, "Give it back!"
"Oh, so now you want to recognize your child huh? What happened to not wanting it?! You're a real fucking bastard for putting Violet through this! You don't deserve her as a mate-" We heard a punch and something tumbling into what seemed like a dresser.
"What?" James spit out, "Hurts to hear the truth? She needs you the most right now...they both do and what the fuck are you doing? Ignoring them like the plague, ignoring their entire existence as if she wasn't even your mate and he wasn't your son!" Tears blurred my vision, a sudden wave of sadness hitting me like a ton of bricks.
"William no!" Bates yelled and the sound of someone struggling filled the silence.
"No Bates, let him! Someone needs to knock some sense into this son of bitch!" James yelled.
"ENOUGH!" my father's voice rang out.
Everything went quiet. "James go clean up, Bates you help him," he ordered and they both left.
"You know what I'm feeling right now? Rage. Fear. Sadness. But overall disappointment. I thought you were better than this Alpha Silver. My daughter is dying because her mate is rejecting her." I gasped.
"I'm not-"
"Yes, you are., maybe not purposely, but you are... There's a chance my daughter won't make it out of this pregnancy, and right now she needs all the strength she has in order to believe that she will. She has to fight for her life, and if not hers, then her child's...Your child. As the days pass her energy is lowering and I'm disappointed in myself for not seeing the truth behind it sooner. You as an Alpha  should know that you are only at your strongest when you have your significant other. It's the same way with Dendrix. We maybe deadly creatures, but we know how to love as well, despite the myths. Right now, she needs you, she needs you to have a stronger reason for living. A stronger reason to fight for the great future she well deserves."
It was silent for a few moments.
"They both need you William," he said and with that his footsteps were heard as he exited the room.
I stopped hearing in when I heard something smash.
I didn't want to cry, and I wasn't going to. Hearing my father...it just made me realize that he was right. I need to believe I will survive, I need to fight through this and have hope that there will be a future for my child where I'm in it...I was going to be stronger...from this day forward, I wasn't going to care that William wasn't here, because I was. I'm here for my child.
I took a deep breathe and felt something in me change. There is now a part of me that is locked away, and who know's when she'll be back, but for now my son needs a fighter.
I opened my eyes, now realizing I had closed them.
"Can you pass me the tray please?" I asked, no emotion behind my voice.
The only time I'll show emotions from now on is when I'm with my baby.
"Uh, sure," Heather said as she passed the tray of warm food towards me.
I started eating, putting weird things together, but I didn't mind. These were my baby's cravings and I needed to keep him strong.
"We'll leave you to it okay sweetie," I moved my dull eyes to my mother and nodded.
She looked at me, confusion flashing through her eyes, before it disappeared.
"C'mon girls," she said and they all left.
"Don't worry baby, we'll both get through this," I whispered to my baby boy. I felt him kick beneath the hand that was laying on top of my bump and smiled. We were going to get through this, one way or another.
