Paralyzed in fear, the scent of perturbation invaded the room. My terrorized feet refused to move and all my body agreed to do was shake in pain. I've never wanted to be so safe in my life.
My head slowly looked down where I saw the once safe blade on my hand penetrating my stomach. My hand still wrapped around it with the hybrid’s firm hand on top of mine.
I blinked.
Once, twice.
Until it hit me full force.
I didn’t realize he was the one holding my figure up on my feet until he released his hold and my legs failed me. I fell on the ground, my hand terribly shaking as warm blood slowly pooled around my tank top and fingers.
My baby
A simple inhale felt too brutal on my lungs, making them burn and strike with agony.
My ears were ringing terribly, yet I could hear each loud heartbreak against my ribs as I watched with blurry eyes my blo
“Ryan, stop feeding me, I’m so full.” I groaned, a frown pulling on my lips but of course, he didn’t listen to me.“Just this one and your plate will be finished,” he grinned down at me when he stuffed the last bits of myfifthcroissants down my throat bringing my hot chocolate to my lips.I didn’t really have a choice but to swallow it down even though I felt like throwing up.“There you go! That wasn’t so bad, wasn’t it?”I glared at him but he barely paid any attention to me as he put the empty plate beside me,” you need to eat more now that you’re pregnant, you’re going to let me name her, right? I’m thinking Isabella, maybe Elena or Lexie, I don’t know I haven’t made up my mind, yet.”He took the news a lot light-heartedly than I thought. Something tells me he figured it out the night I stayed
SkylarThe past couple of days passed by like a blur. Vetino was taken prisoner not even an hour after the meeting from his mansion by the Lawkers own soldiers. Would I be a bad person to say that I didn’t pity his life one bit? If so, then I must be one because I didn’t even pity the hybrid that made me go through hell when I saw him lying dead on the ground with his own body parts completely messed up.Every time I want to ask Alexander why he held such a deep grudge, something came up. The only person that crossed my mind after the lawkers final decision was Vetino’s wife and son. I met them before, and they both looked far too nice and good to be wrapped in Vetino’s swamp. The four days delay was enough to track down and stop his illegal work and all his followers were taken under Xander’s commands.Leaving the throne empty for so long would be chaos and logically, everyone immediately thought that Damon, his so
Skylar Seeing the lawkers mansion once again brought many memories back. The night I first met Vetino and the same night I encountered Dimitri’s mate. Ever since then, a lot has changed. The execution was held behind their house, out of human’s eyes to see. I felt sick just thinking about it. To my utter surprise, many people stood near the empty wooden stage with only a wood board and ropes on each side and a sharp, shining heavy ax on the headman’s hands. Their shattering was loud and I could taste the waves of disgust and hatred rolling of them as they spoke with each other about the common subject, the former Alpha and Luna, and how Vetino got what he deserved. They clearly loved them dearly. I even heard a few speaking about me, most of them sounded worried and even caring about what happened. I was really glad to know that my presence as their Luna was being accepted. Once people acknowledge our presence, eve
Skylar “You know?” I quickly turned on the water from the sink to prevent the men outside from hearing our conversation. “I guessed it but I suppose I was right, Damon is your mate.” She nodded, running a hand over her short, loose hair, “did Xander…?” When I shook my head, she let out a sigh of relief. “Did something happen between you two?” I asked, keeping my voice down just in case. Violet sniffled and splashed some water over her face. “We first met the day he came to our house, and it’s been good then. We would meet from time to time in secret and Damon wanted to speak to Xander about us and make it official between us,” she took a deep breath and looked back my way before continuing. “The day I finally decided to let him speak to my brother was the same day you were taken so then, of course, the last thing on my mind was this subject and after you came
Skylar It is weird to say that I was feeling as proud as a mom cheering for her son at school? Because I am. Too bad Alana couldn’t come. She wanted to, but because she’s very close to her birth date, Dean convinced her to stay home. The thick smell of blood surging through my nose only made my nauseousness worst. Holding a hand over my stomach, I murmured against Xander's chest. “I need to use the bathroom.” Despite it sounding muffled, he heard me and let his grip around my head loosen. I didn’t waste another second as I quickly marched toward the bathroom I was in before, aware of the footsteps behind. From my blurry vision, I saw a standing figure on the sink as I swung the door open and immediately went inside, pouring my lunch out in the toilet. I haven’t started feeling the pregnancy nausea until two days ago, and that shit sucks so bad. I can barely keep anything down, and I have almost
Skylarsix weeks laterMy stomach churning was most likely what suddenly woke me up. The second I was fully conscious, my stomach twisted in distress and I stayed still on my side, praying that it would just go away.It did not surprise me when I still felt a warm presence glued behind my body, Xander’s hand lazily thrown over my waist, under my shirt. He was a big cuddler. Something I don’t think he’ll ever admit.My prayers were definitely not answered when I felt a powerful wave of nausea and immediately stood up on my feet.Closing the door behind me, I rushed to the toilet so fast I almost tripped. My stomach is empty that all I’m doing is gagging on m
Skylar “You haven’t told him yet, right?” “No, this is not something you discuss over a phone call.” I hummed in agreement and cranked my neck to the side, eyeing each individual coming out of the airport’s doors. I was beyond excited to see Dominic once again. I never thought I would live to hear myself say this, but here I am, sitting at the edge of Xander’s car seat waiting impatiently for my friend. Another reason I can’t be patient is that Alana gave birth this morning, and I was more than excited to visit her after picking Dominic up and see her baby girl. “Isn’t he late? Do you think so
Before I could ask Alana about her baby’s name, Dean cut me off, his eyebrows connected to his forehead in pure surprise as he stared at Xander.“What are you doing here?I didn’t realize how awkward Xander was standing until I turned around to meet his eyes. He looked as if he rather be fighting with Voldemort’s army than be here. I had to stifle back a laugh. I saw Dominic outside, clearly flirting with a nurse by the look of it.Xander huffed under his breath, eyes narrowing at me while I smiled innocently, “She wanted to come and congratulate your…” he cracked his head a little to take a small peek at the baby and slightly cringed,” potato.”I kn
SkylarA small frown plastered on my face upon my mate's words. He didn't say anything about his conditions to me. Not even a mention.His gentle hands left my shoulders, only to rest one on top of my head, the other in the pocket of his black jeans.Have I mentioned that I adore when he's touchy with me?Dominic raised his tattooed brow and leaned back in his seat. I wonder how his pants haven't ripped yet with how tight they were."If you were to ever be in a state where you have to choose between me or Skylar, you choose her. Always. No hesitation."My heart skipped a beat. Or two."What? No!" I whipped my head to face Xander, but his ultimate attention was placed on Dominic, whose face remained yet again neutral."No! Why would he do that-""This isn't up for an argument, Sky." He barely even looked my way. His tone was absolutely stern as if e
Skylar"Do we have to tell them today?"Alexander kept circling his thumps on my upper thigh as I sat in front of him on his office table with him in his extensive leather seat.He leaned slightly forward, putting his hand on my hips, making us much closer, and despite him sitting down, his eyes level was finally on mine."We can tell them whenever you're ready, baby. It's your choice."I nodded when he pecked my lips sweetly and even slightly giggled as he pulled me more down, my legs colliding with his chest. He grinned boyishly, like an idiot at me, and I found myself grinning foolishly back for literally no reason."Ayo! I hope no one's naked!" Dominic's voice shouted from behind the closed door and stormed in, "not like I would complain if you are though." he finger-gunned Xander with a terrible wink attempt and biting his lips while squinting his eyes.I couldn't stop my
Skylar"I presume this means I should be worried sick." I absentmindedly picked on the flower in my hand, the yellow petals slowly falling down on my balcony's floor.Yes. Dominic bought me flowers on our way back.The faint breeze calmly pushing them away. I tucked my hands under my thighs, letting the bouquet of roses on my legs.I nodded."What are you planning to do now, Stellina?" (little star in Italian)A sigh left my left as I blinked my very puffy eyes."I have to tell Xander first."We stayed quiet for a few moments; him enjoying his cigarette as he leaned against the railing, while I rocked myself on the love seat. Alexander was still at an important meeting when we came back and Dominic wanted to keep me company in my room, claiming I looked too sick to be left alone until my mate finishes.Charming, I know."I told you not
SkylarHolding my stomach down as I walked out of the restaurant seemed such a hard task at the moment. It was until I reached the car on the other side I let it out, though nothing came out, mostly because I have eaten nothing since this early morning. The morning sickness was too rough on me these past days. Yet, I'm glad I haven't. I rather eject nothing but acid and spit than my digested meal.Tears blurred my eyes, and my legs slightly trembled. I didn't realize Dominic was holding my upper arm until I saw his blurry figure near me, a tissue offered in hand.Once I felt myself finish, he quietly led me in my seat and climbed beside me.Silent tears run down my damp cheek, until they fell in small droplets down my jaw, to my neck.As odd as it sounds, it was ticklish, which made me giggle, and more tears fell. My laughers grew and my vision blurred stronger that I barely made out whatever w
SkylarWas this a bad idea?Maybe it is, but then again, I'm running out of ideas.Bitting the inside of my cheek, I got out of the car next to Dominic.Maybe I should have given a notice before coming uninvited.Screw it, just go in"Need time before going in?" I heard him speak low beside me, eyeing the quite empty restaurant in front of us.I took a deep breath, trying to ease down my nauseous and shook my head firmly, "no, let's go."I choose a random booth, my eyes noticing the familiar figure I've wanted to see. Dominic kept his black shades on, complimenting the whole bad boy-black outfit he had on. He takes his intimidating job way too seriously. Because even I at this moment was slightly intimidated by him, even though he's just casually sitting in front of me."Do they actually have nugget-""What are you doing here?"&
Skylar“Alexander,” I hesitantly stepped forward when I noticed the witch’s hand twitching, most likely to hex us to the afterlife, which he definitely could, ”he’s right, we got our answer so let’s leave.”I do not know where I found the strength and calmness to drag my mate outside and inside the car.But once the car began moving, a buzzing sound echoed inside my ears as I noticed Xander talking beside me.My brain stutters for a moment and my eyes take in more light than I expected. Every part of me goes on pause while my thoughts catch up.It’s confirmed, he or she is a hybrid. The prophecy is coming together. Our doomed f
SkylarFor how long have we been sitting here? An hour? A minute?My mind was blank yet my heart was a mess.From the corner of my eyes, I could make out the silhouette of my mate, sitting too still beside me, eyes looking at the large trees in front of us keeping his hand wrapped around mine on his lap.The only sound echoing around the car was our quiet breathing and unheard thoughts. The witch’s house in front of us was a burning reality that, indeed, this was happening. The whole car ride was a twist to the guts, a poisoning reminder. And now, here we are, sitting alone in the car right in front of the house, in the middle of an empty forest, as I expected.
Skylar This will forever be graved deep within my memoryWe left the check-up room a few minutes later, with more questions from Xander that for a while I felt bad for the doctor having to answer each detailed question. I don’t even know when he did his research about this when he barely finds time to eat nowadays or how he even noticed all the little things I did.He even questioned my unnoticeable bump, which she assured us it was normal.Each pregnancy was different.I was fully satisfied with her answers and assuration and when Xander was finally too; we left.I was madly craving chicken nuggets, so
SkylarDr. Sery was waiting for us at her desk when we walked in, a file in her hand.She smiled beamily at us offering us a seat, “My luna, Alpha, how are you?”“Good, I hope.” I let out a breath as I sat down, my anxiety surging through the roof.Xander didn’t sit and stood beside me, hand on my shoulder. Unconsciously, I put my hand on top of his, his presence alone was already comforting.“I have all your medical information here and so far everything seems good, however, is there something concerning you would like to discuss?”My mind searches for anything unusual besides my c
