Chapter 12: A Pregnancy test.

last update Last Updated: 2024-12-10 22:36:21

I can’t contain my anger as I march down the stairs.

Max’s silence as he walks ahead makes me lose more of the hold I barely have on myself so before I wreak havoc on the walls of this hospital I grind out, “You have three minutes, Max.”

Max leads me into an office and hands me a file as he says, “Emery was here two weeks ago.”

The feeling of anger rushing through me halts and I look at Max.

He nods, gesturing to the file he handed me, “You can check in there.

She came here the night you went to pick your new Luna from the borders.”

I hear some tinge of derision in Max’s tone when he says your new Luna, but I ignore it because the information he’s given me is a bit more precious.

She was here the night I went to pick Nadia. The same Night she asked me to let her go.

Emery’s exact words flow through my mind as the scene flashes past before me.

(Flashback Pg 18)

~The room smells like sex and sweat.

I thrust into the tight, wet, heat of her, wishing to pound away all my worries, all my

    Emery’s pov.A sudden shudder runs down my back.I turn around to see if I'm being watched, but no one is there. That’s strange.The feeling I had just now is one I get when I'm either being watched or my body is sensing some kind of danger I'm not, but there’s nothing. I’m alone in the room.The same room I have stayed in for the past two weeks now.Turning back to the mirror and releasing the short sigh locked up in my chest, I cast away the feeling and focus on what’s ahead instead. Looking at my reflection….. I almost can’t recognize myself anymore.These past two weeks, I've learned several important things. The biggest among them is the name of the pack I'm in, and what kind of pack this is.I was saved by the Raiden Tempest of the Tempest Pack, and their way of life is quite,...My door slams open and I jump at the loud sound. One of the pack guards stands in the doorway, a cross look on his face and a frown etched onto his brow, “You said you would be ready ten minutes ago.”I

    ”So…. where did you say you were from again?”I grunt as I raise the sickle in my hand and bring it down on the branch.My throat is burning and sweat is running down my neck. Heath is busy talking to Sky, asking where she’s from like they’re not from the same pack. Where else could she be from?”We grew up in the same pack, Heath.”A single word responds leaves the caverns of his mouth, “Oh.”I shake my head, yanking the small sickle out and bracing myself for another attempt at cutting this branch. To be young and in love is such an awkward thing.I was never lovestruck while in my teens.But of course that was thanks to my father’s insistence on keeping me away from boys. I had a very protective dad.The memory of him makes a rush of sadness go through me even as a soft smile spreads on my lips. I’m sad my parents were taken away from me so soon.Me and Raven.Raven used to be their spoiled pet. She was their copy, and mum would go on and on about how they look adorable together in

    As the rest of the harvesting goes on I formulate a plan in my mind.It’s more like I try to formulate a plan but the more I think of it, the more I hit roadblocks, because what exactly can a pregnant twenty-one-year-old female do to a Rogue group of wolves that have wiped out entire packs?From my conversation with Heath and Sky, I know that one of the most obvious ways to get my revenge would be to get the help of a large pack.Like the Night pack, or the Redstone pack.Nikolai’s pack would be able to take care of this problem, and maybe if i had gotten this revelation a month ago then i might have begged him- bribed him, into doing something…. but now there’s nothing i can do. I can’t receive any help from Nikolai.I doubt he’ll give it to me, or that Nadia will let him give it to me.The Redstone pack is known for their pride and if I was to approach them with this issue, they’d laugh in my face and disgrace me publicly. All the other packs now aspire to be as aloof as the Redstone

    Bryce fills me in on information regarding the rogues and for a moment, I can't believe my luck. He knows everything about them.Bryce knows everything about how the rogues attack, their mode of operations, their manner and form of assault. They usually lull whatever pack they’re about to attack into a deep sleep by some strange means.”It’s either a type of gas or a spell.”I chortle at the spell part but Bryce doesn't look like he’s joking. He looks dead serious, and I don't comment about it because despite my chortle, I live in this world of werewolves. My parents had strange abilities.Father could tell the weather through some strange intuition, though I suspect he just sniffed the air for rain or not. My mum would randomly slip things into my bag before I leave for school.That snack I didn't know I needed. Or that assignment that isn’t due but which some teachers would still ask for. It’s like they just knew, but I always chalked it up to them being our parents.The healer at N

  • Fleeing her Rejected Mate   Chapter 17: Nice to meet you.

    Raiden’s words catch me off guard as much as his tone does. He sounds angry - Angrier as the seconds pass by because he has a scowl on his face and a storm brewing behind his bright green eyes. Eyes I haven't seen more than once this week, and which I've never seen angry. Until now.Green eyes that bright showing anger is a sight.”Tell me Emery, didn’t we say we wouldn't do anything about your sister without my consent?””This isn’t about my sister. It’s about my parents.”The words slip out of my mouth even though I don't want him to know any of it. I didn’t want him or anyone to know about it. ”Your parents wouldn’t want you making stupid decisions like asking about rogues.”Raiden’s tone is cold and his words are harsh. The scowl on his face becomes even more pronounced. I feel some of my anger rising and pushing through to take control but I keep it in check. My voice hardens as I respond to him, “You don’t know anything about what my parents would have wanted.”Raiden’s scowl dr

    Something about Morwenna’s glossy smile makes me feel I'm missing something, or not seeing her correctly, but there’s nothing other than what she’s showing me right now.She’s an unnaturally beautiful woman with hair that reminds me of my sister. They only share the same hair color, after that there’s nothing else about her that reminds me of Raven.Raven would never smile at me like this, like there’s a million things behind her smile and none of them are good. She stares at me daringly and asks in a mocking tone, ”Do you want to know what’s gotten Raiden so angry or are you going to be a scared mouse?”I should tell her I don't want to but the challenge in her eyes makes me ignore that thought and I hold the door open for her to come in.She doesn't waste any time and she doesn't hide what she came in here to do. Looking around, she takes in whiffs of the air.A sharp smile spreads on her face, “He was definitely here.”She’s tracking his scent, ignoring me totally and focusing…. on

    “Hey stop that!”The sound of laughter and an excited squeal floats through my open window. My office is shrouded in darkness but it’s okay, I like it this way. I can see well enough and having all the lights on only makes it easier for me to see myself, and see the failure I have become.Me and my pack.I should be thinking about the trip I made this afternoon. A trip that could very well decide the future of my pack, but all I can think about is her. The woman I brought back to my pack, and the look of silent rage on her face when I left her room this evening. I shouldn't have gone to see her with my mood the way it is but I did and that’s a mess on my part.But now that I’ve seen her, she’s at the forefront of my mind, the same way she was two weeks ago when I brought her to the pack and she refused to tell me who she was.~ Raiden.~My Beta mind links me and I listen in on the details of the harvest that went on today. It’s remarkable what my pack can do when we all put our minds

    I don’t think he understands what he’s about to do.And I don't know how to do what I want to do because it’s going to be hard.It’s hard for me to keep on lying to him and I can't reveal I know anything too sensitive about Nikolai’s pack, but I have to stop this. I can’t let him enter into an alliance with Nikolai. With a look of desperation I ask, ”Are you sure they’re going to help you?”A look of annoyance crosses Raiden Tempest’s face, but I see him suppress it. I see him push it back because he doesn't want to act the way he did with me earlier, and I don't want that either. Living here for the past two weeks has shown me that the Tempest pack adores their Alpha. They’re a small pack, nowhere as large as others, so he doesn't have the resources other Alphas have to give to their packs, but unlike large packs where every other member is treated like just another pack member, Raiden knows his pack and the people in it.He has a lot of responsibility on his shoulders… and if I kee

  • Fleeing her Rejected Mate   Chapter 35: We need to find whatever it is they want.

    Raiden’s pov.Mort walks into my office with a gleam in his eyes.He’s happy about something and usually I'd be bothered enough to ask what it is. Mor is rarely unhappy while he is. Usually if she’s unhappy it’s because something has happened between both of them.And he’s usually in no mood to be happy either.But at least one of us is happy. Though I doubt his happiness is going to last long once he learns about what we’re dealing with.”So…. How's the issue with the spy coming along?”Wait….. My formerly placid stare gradually morphs into a scowl that I pin him with, “You knew?”He nods, like I'm surprised this is news.I sink back into my seat and massage my temples, because I shouldn't be surprised. Of course he knew. ”Why did Mor come to you first and why didn’t you come to me right away?”Mort’s voice brims of less happiness as he realizes what he’s unwittingly done and responds, “She came to me with it, hoping we could solve it and save you the stress of having to deal with t

    Mort escorts me to the bunker at the back of the Tempest packhouse, and I can see why he was trying to warn me from actually coming in the first place.I thought he simply didn’t want me here, which would have made no sense, but now…..”Yeah, it’s a bit of a mess.”There’s barely any of the light humor he’s known for in his voice. Instead there’s a kind of deep sadness, and it rings the same with me.The people in here are in pain.“It’s alright. It’s alright.You just have to take this last bit of the draught.”The little girl being spoken to is crying, and she’s crying so silently I know she isn’t crying because of whatever is in that bowl. Even if it’s that bitter, it’s not bitter enough to elicit the kind of sorrow behind her eyes.The sound of groaning fills the air, sometimes soft, sometimes loud, all of it echoing some deeper pain.There’s hardly any free surface that doesn’t have a wounded or injured person on it.“What happened to them?”I’m thankful Mort hasn’t left my side

    A gathering for Alphas.A gathering where all the Alphas this side of our small world will be gathered, where Nikolai will definitely be at, and where I also now have to be, to prove my loyalty to the Tempest pack.Raiden’s beta Mort will be at the event with him, while I'll be escorted around by Morwenna, the woman who hates my guts and who told Raiden he’d let the alliance fall into the hands of a spy by giving it to me.”Is anything the problem dear?”The doctor has his back to me, scribbling in a note while he asks that question but I can't bring myself to respond with a sigh.I’m worried, and it seems no matter how hard I try, I'm always going to be under the threat of being found out.If no one knows who i am, then everyone is going to try and paint me as who i’m not. I’m going to tell Raiden my identity before the day of the Alpha gathering finally comes, and I'll have to hope he keeps letting me stay in the pack.“I need work.”The words tumble out of my mouth but I know I mad

  • Fleeing her Rejected Mate   Chapter 32: What do i have to prove i'm not the spy?

    There’s a stale silence between us and I fold my arms over my chest, refusing to give up or give in to his current attitude.Even now, he’s still not saying what’s wrong, just staring at me like he can’t decide if he wants to choke me or slam me against a wall. I know Raiden wouldn’t do that but I also doubt he likes my words very much.Still, I'm not backing down. Not when something is obviously wrong and he’s erecting a wall to make me the outsider.He wouldn’t have come to me if this didn’t concern me in some way. The least he can do is tell me what’s really going on.“Well?”I know I've pushed a button the moment a cloudy look settles on his face, “Well what?”The beginnings of a nasty temper take form in Raiden’s eyes. My heart slams in my chest but I ignore that fear and carry on, “Well what’s wrong? And don’t say nothing isn’t. I wasn’t born yesterday.”“Why should I tell you what’s wrong? Last time I checked this was my pack. I don’t share things about my pack with just anyone

  • Fleeing her Rejected Mate   Chapter 31: Come with me.

    I get up and walk around the room the doctor is using as his office. What he said just now makes me feel weird. I mumble to myself as I graze the back of my fingers over a figurine sitting on the table, “I’m nothing special.”The way his head whips to me tells me he heard that and for a second, we share a locked gaze, but after that he turns away and focuses back on his work.I came here so I could know what’s happening to my baby and my body. It’s been more than two months. I should be going into my first…. what do they call it?”Here dear.”I turn to the doctor and see him handing me a small book. From the picture on the cover I can tell that it’s a pregnancy booklet. The woman softly cradling her belly has her eyes closed, but my focus really is on the mark someone has drawn over her protruded belly.“What does this mean?”The Tempest Doctor responds without even looking at me, “It’s nothing. Just one of the marks we use in the pack to differentiate the normal pregnancy books fr

  • Fleeing her Rejected Mate   Chapter 30: Something special.

    “You know what you have to do, right Raiden?”I don’t want to do anything. I know what she’s asking me to do, but I don't want to. Mor’s tone goes stone cold as she accuses, ”It’s your fault this is happening, Raiden. You let the alliance fall into the hands of an outsider and now we’re going to be forced into an alliance that will probably make us slaves.””I know that!”, Mor’s eyes don’t hold any kindness as she gets up, “Then do what needs to be done.”She leaves my office and it feels like a part of my heart has been wrung out. I know what I have to do, but I don't want to.I don’t want to believe Emery is actually a spy for the Redstones.But the video I've just seen makes this something that I can't ignore. It makes this something that is more than just about me and what I feel. The fate of everyone in my pack lies on my shoulders and I can't let anyone endanger us.Each step I take towards her room is like the banging of a gavel on my chest. I have to do what is best for my p

    Mor refuses to respond to me or meet my gaze and I can feel anger building up in me, but I know her. I have for the past twenty years. She wouldn't say something like that without cause and she wouldn't say it if she didn't know of something that could make her think so."If you’re wondering why I'm looking away, it’s so you don’t feel too guilty after what I'm about to tell you, Raiden.”Her tone is lightly mocking, and I can't bring myself to smile because I refuse to simply think or believe what she’s saying.A spy in the pack?Who the fuck would want to spy on us? And why would they go through the trouble of making sure I found a woman about to be assassinated on my hunt in the woods just to do so? It doesn’t add up.”She’s not a spy.”“I don’t think you’ll feel that way after hearing what I have to say.”Mor’s eyes catch onto mine and they hold. A muscle tenses in my jaw as she opens her phone and hands it over to me. A simple text message and video are displayed. I read the mess

    Mor stares at me and I don't want to give her the satisfaction of rising to whatever she’s looking for right now.Mor and Mort grew up alongside me, both of them siblings I didn't have, but which I needed especially after the death of my parents.Mor should be my Beta. She’s the only child of her parents, my father’s Beta and his mate, but she refused. She insisted she had a brother who could do the job two times better.Still, sometimes she comes in like this, to interfere in my life and the pack. That’s why we all love her. “Tell me what exactly is happening between you and this stranger.”Her tone is cold and she says the last word with a note of disgust. I respond before I can stop myself, “She’s not a stranger.”Mor chuckles and it’s without mirth. There’s not a tone of warmth in the sound she makes, instead her tone dips even lower and colder as she goes on, “Isn’t she?What do we know about her, Raiden?””She’s not dangerous.”, Mor scoffs at my response and settles into the se

  • Fleeing her Rejected Mate   Chapter 27: Lost in thought.

    I don’t think I've ever done this.I don’t think I even saw where my parents were buried. Looking at the headstones of Raiden’s parents makes me wonder what happened to mine. Were their bodies taken by their killers?Were they thrown into a ditch, or left to rot where they had died?Raiden is silent and the sunlight shining down on us makes warmth roll in through the air, but the heat isn’t sweltering, and even if it is, I don't mind. I think back on the memories of my parents and for the first time, I tell them how much I loved them.I tell them how much I still love them. I tell them that they were the biggest influences in my life and that the influence they had, it won’t be something I take for granted.I tell them that I'll take care of Raven, and that I'll love the child in my womb. I’ll love this child regardless of who his father is.I’ll love this child because the child is mine. This baby is ours, and the love they poured into me is the same love I will pour into my child.
