Scarlett:

“Shit…” I hissed, gripping my stomach tightly as my baby kicked. I gripped on my door handle as I tried to calm my breathing down, wanting to process the pain that I was suddenly feeling.

Today was a day where my beloved little one was more than determined to make himself known. The kicks grew more intense with each passing minute, and needless to say, I knew that I didn’t have it in me to try and relax. I was due in a few weeks and the last thing I needed was to skip work or skip the one thing that would ensure our survival after I gave birth, at least, until I was back to work.

I shook my head, and taking a deep breath, I forced myself to open the door as I walked out of my apartment. I walked to work, making sure that 1 didn’t forget anything at home, and basically, by anything, it was a small bag of clothes if any accidents decided to occur, and something to eat if I didn’t want to eat any leftovers. The café was a few blocks away from the apartment, that was something that I was grateful for, because regardless of not needing a cab, I knew that I wouldn’t afford paying for one if I wanted to, especially if my job was further away from a few blocks away.

My heart clenched, and my wolf grew more alert as another kick hit. My eyes widened in surprise and, catching sight of HIM, I felt my whole body freeze. My heart raced against my ribcage, and despite the pain of my abdomen, it seemed like I was distracted, all too distracted, to try and keep up with what was happening.

His eyes met mine, and for a second, I could swear that he frowned in confusion, probably no longer making out my features as easily as he could, or catching sight of how different I looked. I have lost more weight in the past three months to the point where my once beautiful face grew pale. My eyes had black circles under them, something that never existed, and that was due to the exhaustion that I was dealing with. Me being pregnant, studying, and going to work didn’t come out as easy as I thought it would be.

Alpha Alexander, the love of my life and my first heartbreak took a step toward me and that was when I felt like my lower half was no longer supporting me. A cry of pain escaped my mouth before I could stop it, and looking down at my feet, my heart dropped to my stomach when I saw red.

Blood.

It was MY blood. “Scarlett…?”

“My baby” I said, putting a hand on my stomach, my vision blurring. My eyes rolled to the back of my head, and I could vaguely hear Alexander asking for help before I felt his arms wrap around me. My heart throbbed, and my wolf whimpered, but I couldn’t care less. I felt my heart weaken, and my body go numb.

“Hold on, Scarlett, help is on the way” I heard Alexander say as he lifted me “I just need you to hold on…”

My eyes fluttered open in a familiar room, my room.

My whole body ached, and the sound of the heart monitor only gave me a headache, and taking a few seconds to process what was going on, I found myself sitting up so quickly that my head throbbed as a headache kicked in.

“My baby?” I asked, looking down at my stomach, remembering the blood and what happened out in the street. Two hands were put on my shoulders, pushing me down gently, and looking up at whose hands they were, my heart raced against my chest when I saw that it was Alexander.

“Your baby is asleep in her crib” he said, not allowing me to get up. “Her?”

“You gave birth, or more specifically, the nurses helped you give birth to a beautiful little girl” he said, his voice softening “her body is a little weak due to you being unhealthy, but she should be fine in a few days. They have her in an incubator room that we set up for her. She’s laying in a crib that we got her, you don’t have to worry about her now, she is in safe hands”

“How…?”

“How what, Scarlett?” Alexander asked, stopping me. His annoyance was clear in his voice, and despite the pain that I felt in my chest, I fought to stay as calm as I could so as not to show him that his words, attitude, or even presence, had an effect on me. They did, but that was the last thing that I wanted him to know of.

“How did you find me?” I asked, watching as he took a step back “when do I get to see her…”

“You are very lucky that I did find you when I have. You would have died if it was a ‘human’ who found you and took you to their hospital. Why the f*ck did you choose to leave if you were pregnant, Scarlett?” He asked, glaring at me “do you realize how worried my parents were? And f*cking pregnant…”

“You would have had me killing the baby…”

“I would have found out who the child’s father was and ensured that he took care of the two of you, why the f*ck would I have asked you to kill your child?” He asked, glaring at me. My heart ached at his words, and shaking my head at him, I glared back at him.

“The baby is yours” I said, snapping at him “but just like you chose to f*ck me to please your wolf, asking me to keep it quiet; you would have had me aborting the baby to ensure that YOUR life doesn’t get ruined”

“What?” Alexander asked, frowning in confusion “what do you mean the baby is mine…?” “A child of a bloody mating bond, that is what it is…”

“You can’t be…”

“What do you f*cking mean by a child of a mating?” Alpha Mathew’s voice broke our conversation. Alexander and I froze, and turning to the door, Alexander’s eyes widened when he saw his girlfriend, Luna Delilah, standing by the door with wide eyes. His parents, Luna Katlyn and Alpha Mathew seemed to be more surprised than angry; however, Delilah was not only angry. The woman was raging…

“You cheated on me, with…” she pointed at me as if I was some virus that she wanted nothing but to get rid of. Her choice of words took me off guard as I knew that it was all she saw me as “this THING?”
