2024-10-29 19:42:56Meghan POV
I left the doctor’s office in a daze, unsure of what to do or where to go. I couldn’t shake the feeling of anger and betrayal that had taken hold of me.
I walked out to the parking lot and sat in my car, tears streaming down my face. I just wanted to curl up into a small, tiny ball and die. It kind of felt like I had cheated on Zack and I felt horrible.
My chest burn with more anxiety, Panic pain stabbing a hole through every fiber of my being as I sat wailing in silent.
I was not even sure I wanted this child anymore. Everything was all so messed up. Things were not meant to happen this way!
It took me more than a few hours to pull myself together and drive home. On the way, I wondered just how I was going to break the news to Zack without breaking his heart like mine was.
I even considered – excruciatingly – when I was going to tell him, and if I should even tell him at all. I mean, I’m the one who received the news, and I’m the one carrying the baby, so maybe... Maybe Zack didn’t need to know. If he asks specifically then I’ll tell him...
Just maybe.
I arrived back in the pack later in the day and thankfully, Zack was nowhere in sight. I was sure he was still busy with pack activities in his office and won’t be back until evening.
"You're back!" A voice came from behind just as I was about to sneak into my room."Ye-yes!" I replied knowing full well it was Zack."What's wrong darling?!" Zack's voice came just as I was about to step in further into the room and shut the door behind me.In no time, he appeared in front of me, his hands darting out to wrap around my waist and pulling me close to himself.I literally melt into his arms, his familiar scent hitting my nostrils hard, calming my raging nerves as well. We pulled away after a while and my eyes moved up to peer back at the man in front of me, my heart couldn't help but sink even more. How do I tell him the child we have all been expecting won’t be his?I quickly averted my eyes to the floor, unable to meet his eyes much longer."Hey? what's wrong? Have you been crying?" I felt his finger under my chin as he lifted my face up to look at him, his searching grey eyes staring into my already teary ones.I swallowed the dry feeling in my mouth before meeting his eyes again."I'm…I’m pregnant!" I let the word slip out of my mouth in a quiet whisper."What?!" His eyes went wide at my words.He picked me off the ground and began to twirl me around, screaming at the top of his voice.“Thank you, thank you! You have just made me the happiest Alpha in the whole of America”I could see the happiness glistening in his eyes as I struggle to catch my breath, Tears couldn't help but stream down my face knowing fully well, this happiness he was feeling won’t be for long before it’s taken away from him. "I have to let everyone know!!" Zack's laughter brought me back to my senses. I looked up and saw Zack pacing around the room, his face expressing how happy he truly was.Seeing this, I collapsed back on the nearest sofa, my lips starting to tremble. This was the end. What was he going to say when he finds out the baby is not his?He finally came to a pause before turning to face me, "Hey, why do you look sad? There's even tears in your eyes!" I quickly wiped them off with the back of my hands before sniffing back the rest."It's nothing!" I said trying to fake a smile, but the pain in my heart didn't let the smile come. All I could muster was a bitter smile."Meghan, something is not right, why are you unhappy? Is this not what we have all been waiting for? We are going to be parent my love, don’t you realize how big this is? I can finally shut everyone up. This news have made me so fucking happy" Zack said, kissing my hand over and over again.I considered telling a lie, I really did; but in the end everything just came bursting out without my consent.
"Zack...." I fumbled with the words as I didn't know where to start but I knew I wasn’t going to keep quiet any much longer, the guilt was eating me whole and the longer I wait, the more terrible I feel.
"Whoa whoa, what’s wrong Meghan? You are starting to scare me. Why are you crying?" Zack's frown deepened as he stared at me."The thing is..." I shuttered, not knowing what to say next."Meghan, tell me what's wrong!" Zack called out to me, his voice sounding panicked, making my heart beat even faster."I'm sorry Zack but the child I’m carrying is…is not yours!"

"Wh-what are you talking about Meghan?" Zack laughed. "What do you mean the child you are carrying is not-"“The doctor’s made a mistake and I was artificially inseminated by another man’s semen," I blurted out, still sobbing.Zack’s laughter turned into disbelief as he turned to face me, and after seeing the seriousness in my eyes, his face quickly changed into something borderline furious. “What? Are you kidding me?” he exclaimed, shocked.I shook my head and went on to explain everything that the doctor had told me about the mix-up at the fertility clinic. It took me ages to complete the simple story since I kept on bursting into tears intermittently. By the time I was done, Zack had realized that this was not a joke, and he grew livid. “Are you serious right now? How could this even happen?” he shouted.I grabbed onto him to stop him from rising and storming away in anger.“Zack, I would never lie about something like this. I, I do not have the foggiest idea what to do Zack. I d

"Fine, I'll abort it!"Zack nodded, and before he left, he looked at me and said, “You made the right choice. I hope you never put me in this situation ever again.” And left without looking back.At that moment, I felt like my world has completely fallen apart, even more so than it did at the hospital because somewhere deep inside me I had wanted to keep this child.I loved my husband, but this baby was my chance for motherhood. I realized that I was between a rock and a hard place and had to make a decision.I was scared of what Zack would do if I chose to keep the baby, and at the same time, I couldn’t bear the thought of losing him. He wasn’t just my mate, he was my everything and I can’t afford to throw it all away just like that. I broke down in tears as soon as he left the room. I had just lost everything - my mate, his trust, and even my own self-respect. The thought of killing my own baby stung me deeply, but I felt like I had no other option.I sat alone, filled with remorse

It took me quite a while to find myself back at the hospital, the anxiety that returned by the time I found my way into the hospital halls was crippling. It also did not help that the weather was now overcast and rain was falling with a vengeance. As I sat in the waiting room at the hospital, I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. The stark walls and floors, the uncomfortable chairs, and the hushed silence all served to amplify my anxiety.I tried to take heart in the fact that today was one of doctor Vera's working days and at the very least she would certainly look out for me and try to ease my worries before the abortion. As lost in a maze of nervousness as I was, I did not notice a dark haired man sit down next to me until he turned to me and asked, "Are you okay? You look like you've seen a ghost." I managed to offer up a weak smile and told him I was fine. "Are you pregnant?" he asked suddenly. I was taken aback by his question and a bit offended too. The very las

I paused at the door to doctor Vera's office, outright freezing up once the door loomed before me. My anxiety returned once more, almost crippling in its intensity. I took the time to contemplate the intricacies involved in what I was about to do.I, both as a matter of principle and as a person, did not look favorably upon abortion at all. The reason was not quite religious or even remotely related to any religion, and was quite simple.You see, my mother had tried to have me aborted while I was about four weeks old. She had tried a dozen times, had gone about it a dozen different ways, but had not succeeded in the end. My twin (sister I would like to imagine) had taken the fall for both of us and left me to live on. While that was in no way traumatic - I don’t know jack shit of what was happening at the time -, the fact that my mother had drummed that story into me during my early years may have definitely been.She had been quite clear that I was, in fact, a big colossal mistake,

Doctor Vera led me down the hallway towards the room where the ultrasound was going to be performed. The hallway was white and sterile with a few doors opening up to various medical offices. The scent of antiseptic lingered in the air and made me feel uneasy. As we approached the door, Doctor Vera turned to me and smiled reassuringly."Okay, we're almost there. Just a few more steps and we'll get started," she said softly. I nodded nervously, feeling a mix of excitement and anxiety all at once.The room itself was dimly lit, with a small window on one side that let in a bit of natural light. The walls were painted a pale yellow and there was a large, cushioned exam table in the center of the room, positioned in front of a large monitor. The ultrasound machine was set up nearby, its small screen illuminated with faint blue light. Next to it, there was a small stool for the technician to sit on as they performed the examination."Alright, if you could just have a seat here please," Doct

I drove around the city without any particular destination, allowing my thoughts to drift aimlessly as my mind processed everything that had been happening somewhere in my subconscious. I felt like the weight of the world was on my shoulders, and each thought I had kept piling up the pressure.The city has always felt like an overwhelming place, but it was doubly so in my current state. The tall buildings and siren sounds made me anxious, and I could not bear to think about how I would ever be able to face Zack. I knew he would be upset, disappointed, and most probably, angry with me.In what felt like a dozen hours too soon the sun began to set. The sky turned pink and orange, streaked with shades of purple and red. It was beautiful, in a painful sort of way. I hated it.Eventually, I found myself pulling up to Jessica's house. At that moment, I felt like I needed someone to talk to, someone who might understand what I was going through and Jessica was the only one who made it to the

Lin’s PovAs I sat in the waiting room, my mind was preoccupied with thoughts of the woman I had just met. She had been sitting in the corner, and immediately I saw her, I could not help but notice her striking appearance. Her long, dark blonde hair cascaded gracefully down her back, and her light blue eyes seemed to shimmer perpetually with tears unshed.I couldn’t help but feel shaken by the look of despair on her face and the weight of her emotions. It was clear, through her eyes, that something worried her deeply. I had been at the clinic for my mate’s regular check-up, but my attention had been drawn to the woman who looked so very vulnerable.I was consumed with a mix of empathy and concern for her. It was easy to see that she was carrying a heavy burden, and her worried expression only added to my own unease. I couldn’t help but think about the many possible reasons that led her to be in that state, and my heart went out to her. That had been the major reason, above all else, t

I had not been with her and the doctor since I had arrived rather late.Ashley turned back to the window, and after a few seconds mumured something I couldn't get."What was that?" I prodded. "I couldn't quite get that."Ashley sighed and turned to face me."Well, there was a mix up or something, and the surrogate mother is nowhere to be found."I immediately hit the brakes and pulled over."What?!" I exclaimed before reigning my shock in and bringing my voice low. "Well, I can't say I'm surprised. I told you it was a bad idea.""It was not meant to happen," Ashley snapped."Oh, maybe; certainly; but it did," I said, my voice rising in sudden frustration. This was a sensitive topic for me, and we had argued severally on whether having a surrogate or not was a good idea. "I told you from the very beginning that we should carry the baby o

His birth came at a time when we were going through the most difficult moment of our lives and I can’t help but cherish the bond I have with him. Jaxon looked like Ethan when he was a month old. A resemblance that was uncanny to their father. Our little family went from four to five and ever since my hands have been more than full.

Meghan’s POV."What's happening to him?" I demanded, desperate for answers but mother simply looked at him as though nothing was wrong even though Lin looked like he was undergoing something more life threatening at the moment.“The cursed blood is getting fused with his beast making the transformation twice as painful for a normal wolf”My eyes widen, “How do we stop it?”"It can’t be stopped, child. Lin has to learn to control the powers that plagues him," mother said, sounding unbothered. "Often times, great powers comes with great responsibility"Lin let out a strangled cry, curling into himself and I pulled him closer, wrapping around his frame even though my arms barely fit across his board shoulders."Mother..look at him, this is a freaking curse…there has to be a way to help him." I pleaded, looking up at her."I’m sorry, Meghan but not all curse are a curse! Some are actually blessings if and only if he learns how to control it. If he doesn’t then he will die”My heart sank a

Lin's POV I could feel the life force within me waning, the pain in my chest intensifying with every breath. But I refused to give in to defeat. Desperation surged within me, and I summoned every ounce of my strength but it was of no use against him.Vincent's claws dug deeper, pressed down against my chest, his grip tightening around my heart, and for a fleeting moment, terror coursed through me. The pain was excruciating, the sensation of my life being forcibly extracted unbearable.But in that moment, I felt a presence, a force surrounding me. From my peripheral I saw Meghan and her mother not far from the chaos. Her mother’s hand outstretched and enchanting some strange words.A surge of energy surged through me, a surge that matched the desperation in my heart. It was as if I had tapped into an ancient wellspring of power, a wellspring fueled by the love and determination of the two incredible women who held my heart in their hands, figuratively and literally.With newfound str

With the short bloody dagger still in my grip, I readied myself for the worst as the two rogue wolves closed in on me, their snarling faces contorted with hunger and aggression. I braced myself for the impending attack. My grip on the dagger tightened, the maternal instinct within me more than ready to protect the child cradled at the corner, not very far from me. The weight of responsibility bore down on me, and I was ready to face whatever threat came our way.The first one lunged at me, it’s claws slicing close to my cheek in a deadly swipe and causing me to stumble a few step back. Without hesitation, I swung the blade at its snapping jaw, only missing it by a few inches.My stand against them only made them angrier. I knew I stood no chance against them in my human form as my movement was too sloppy and still weak from childbirth. My wolf was of no use either, she was in no position to fight either. An hour or two could bring us more recovery but that seem to be the last thing

Meghan's POV.The atmosphere inside the safe house had grown thick with tension. My wolf paced restlessly within me, its agitated energy radiating throughout my being. It was as if an invisible thread connected me to Lin, and that thread was tugging me relentlessly toward the door.No matter how much I try to shake it off, it still lingered, getting heated right under my skin and making me even more restless.Gently, I laid our sleeping baby on the bed, swaddled in the softest blankets. My gaze lingered on his innocent face, and for a moment, I brushed a gentle finger against his cheek. He was a precious reminder of our love, and my heart ached to hold him close.Turning to Ethan, my seven-year-old son, I knelt before him, my hands on his small shoulders. "Ethan," I began, my voice gentle but firm, "Mommy needs to go out for a little while. I need you to be a big, brave boy and watch over your baby brother and Emily until I come back, okay?"Ethan nodded, his wide eyes filled with det

Lin POV.Chaos reigned, the eerie glow of the moon casting shadows over the relentless clash between our forces and Vincent's rogue wolves. The rogues kept multiplying in numbers since our initial encounter, and their determination was palpable, as if they were been driven by an unquenchable thirst for power.Leon, his eyes reflecting both exhaustion and unwavering determination, has been at the forefront of the defense. When it seem like our efforts were going to waste, his voice filtered through my mind, strained but resolute. "Lin, I don’t think we can hold them off much longer, it's like they're being fueled by some unseen force. They just keep coming."Zack, his wolf form mirroring my own determination, chimed in, "Leon's right. It's possible the gem is their power source. We need to find it and neutralize it if we want to break their momentum."My gaze swept over our burning village that was swimming with rogues, searching for any signs of the gem's presence.

Lin's POVAs I knelt beside Meghan and the kids, the weight of my actions pressed upon me like a leaden shroud. My heart pounded in my chest, each beat a painful reminder of the recklessness that had nearly cost us everything. Tears welled in my eyes, a mixture of relief at seeing my family unharmed and the overwhelming guilt for what I had put them through. I was a fool to trust that woman. I should have listened to Meghan when she wanted her out of our lives but I thought she could lead us to the solution to our problem.Sniffing back my tears, I leaned away, my gaze barely meeting hers. “I’m sorry, so sorry!”Meghan looked confused as her gaze bore into mine, her eyes a complex tapestry of emotions. “Lin, none of this is your fault.. If there is anyone to be blamed then it’s that vile woman”I shook my head, “No, you don’t understand.. I’m to blame too, I didn’t push her away when she offered.

Meghan’s POVMy heart pounded in my chest as I clutched Emily and Ethan close, their small bodies fitting into my arms perfectly. The room had descended into utter chaos, the snarls of the intruding wolves piercing the air like a dreadful symphony.Panic threatened to claw its way into my heart, but I couldn't afford to succumb—not with the safety of my children hanging in the balance."Remember all we've practiced," I implored, my voice a steady anchor amidst the turmoil. I wished I could help - oh, how I wished so - but I was pretty much tucked out at the moment. It was a bother to even keep my eyes open! I had to fight just to stay awake. Over these few months, Lin had diligently drilled them on the basics of self-defense, honing their instincts and abilities. Now, in this moment of peril, that training was going to become their greatest ally.Ethan, standing steadfast by my side, made a promise that sent both pride and trepidation coursing through me.
