My mother took my hand and led me to a room with Astraeus close at our heels. When she closed the door, they both hugged me tightly. I was taken aback by the gesture and stood awkwardly between them. I moved my hands up hesitantly to hug them back and just as I did, they both moved back in sync.I looked at them weirdly and both their eyes were filled with awe and love. This was a strange sight to see from two people that were very strong and poised. My mom started to rub my belly and things seemed to get even stranger as her eyes glowed while looking down at my belly. “Is the little one treating you well?”Lucian:I was having one hell of a headache today and even after popping a lot of pain pills, it seemed to be one of stubborn nature refusing with all of its might to go away.I tried my best to listen to both the pack meetings and the business meeting but I found it hard with this throbbing headache. It felt like a cat had sunken its claws into my scalp, refusing to let go. I
Scarlet:My head was spinning at their words and it just felt unbelievable. My jaw hung open and then tried to form words that seemed to not want to come out. “Wait, what do you mean?” I eventually got out and stared at the both of them with a questioning gaze.They looked at each other strangely before looking back at me. “Scarlet, your pregnant”, My mother said, as if it was just common knowledge.I turned around and found a seat nearby, sitting down due to the shock. “Didn’t you know?” Astraeus asked in a caring tone that seemed weird coming from him but still something I could get used to. It seemed like him and his son were worlds apart. While Lucian was warm and friendly, his father was cold and fierce. They both held each aspect of each other to an extent but yet they were their own people and not a copy of one another.“Scarlet?” My mother placed her hand on my knee and crouched down to meet my gaze. I shook my head slowly whilst looking into nothingness.“Don’t you want t
Lucian started looking around, making sure that he was indeed hearing correctly. I giggled a little at the sight of this gorgeous man looking like an unsure boy.“Lucian, I’m pregnant” I said between the laughter. His face was priceless, it was like I was bringing him unbelievably good news.“Shouldn’t you have one of those stick thingies?” I scrunched my brows, wondering what he could possibly be talking about. He then ran out of the room and I looked at Layla, wondering what was happening. She just shrugged her shoulders. I heard the witch giggle as she saw the scene playing before her. In a sudden cloud of smoke she vanished wherever she meant to go.I stood up and started getting out of the mud bath. Just then Lucian came storming in. “Princess no, sit down, you can’t fall from there. Here let me help”He grabbed me and held me in a bridal position, getting mud all over his expensive suit, making me feel guilty. “Lucian your suit”“Princess, I can get this dry clean,. I, howeve
I woke up to the smell of hot chocolate and saw my mother sitting next to me on the couch. I got up quickly and hugged her tightly. “When did you get here” I asked in an over-joyed tone. “Oh honey, me and your father left the moment Lucian gave us a call.” She said whilst handing over a cup of hot chocolate to me.“So then where’s dad?” I asked looking around the room. “Oh he and Lucian are in the lounge". I hoped out of bed and ran to the lounges expecting them to be at each other’s throats.When I entered, I saw two lazy boys pointing at the window. Both of them sitting on their own with a beer in hand. Whilst watching the view of the sun setting over the Los Angeles horizon,“You know Lucian, I'm going to be honest with you. When I met you I thought you were a prick”, my dad said, looking at the view.Lucian's head whipped in the direction of my father with a curious expression.“And why is that Mister Bloodmoon?” “Well, only a prick would show up at a beta-families house in ano
A sudden scream filled the halls, causing me and Lucian to sit up in bed at a fast pace. He jumped up and looked around the hall. I then saw his eyes go cloudy for a moment, meaning that he was mind linking someone. When the color returned to his eyes, the color of his skin faded.“What is it Lucian?” I asked in a panic tone, hearing the screaming voice echo through the halls and pound right on my ear drums. It was a scream of total torture and pain.I was afraid that we were under attack and Lucian's pale face didn’t ease my worries. I stood up and got out of bed, making my way over to Lucian steadily. “What's wrong Lucian”, I asked again, placing my hand on his cheek. It seemed to do the trick and he came back blinking his eyes.“R..Riley is in labor” he stuttered. Her scream echoed down the halls again, bringing a shiver down my spine. Was this what was awaiting me in my near future? I took a deep breath and shook the thought out of my head. “Shouldn’t we take her to the pac
3 Weeks have gone by in what seemed to be a flash.I was out of my 1st trimester and onto the next. My morning sickness, however, didn’t see it that way and seemed to think it should stay for the long haul. I looked at the toilet as it flushed away my breakfast that I had eaten moments before. I’m constantly hungry but unable to keep anything down.Which has become quite depressing. Today we will be going for a sonar.Lucian was so excited watching the time every five minutes, seeing if it was time to go yet.The bathroom door busted open, revealing no other than Lucian with a big happy grin plastered all over his face.“It’s time to go see our little pup” he said, almost jumping up and down with excitement. I couldn’t help but giggle but soon realized that was a terrible idea. I held my hand over my mouth and my cheeks soon blew up. I was about to puke. I once again hung over the toilet getting rid of whatever was left of breakfast. I could feel Lucian rubbing my back the whole t
Scarlett:I sat in my office staring at the boards containing the themes of the gender reveal. I wanted everything to be perfect. I looked over the boards to three anticipating and exciting faces awaiting my answer. Each one of them drew up a board with games and themes.Layla, my mom and Freya all sat with big smiles plastered on their faces and their hands tucked into their laps. Like three little girls awaiting a sweet or a toy. I giggle a little at the sight before me. I shifted my eyes back to the boards, looking carefully over each one.One had a theme of pink or blue.We still love you and all though the idea was cute it felt like something was missing. I placed the board down making the decision not to have that theme. I looked between my two options and stood stuck between the two. Buck or doe? It was cute. It kind of played on our animalistic nature. Then we had a boy or girl can’t wait to sea. With an ocean theme.Little pirates and mermaids and it was absolutely too
Saige:I stood at Asher’s side combing my hands through his hair. He turned around with fury and hatred filling every inch of his dark eyes. I pulled my hand back in fear but never broke contact with him. “Now I’ll never be able to find my real mate”, he growled. I knew what he meant. It was the talk of his family and all the high-ranking pack members. Scarlet wasn’t his real mate and she admitted it. Although I thought I would be happy about it, I soon realized that wasn’t the case.My mate hated me with every being ever since he found out. He now would never know if I was his real mate or not and he would no longer be able to find her due to marking me.I took hold of his hand shakily. Scared that I might anger him even more.His eyes didn’t soften for one minute nor did he try and grab hold of my throat. I was in this middle grey area of hatred and love and I hated every moment of it.“It’s OK Ashy baby, I love you and that’s all that matters” He pulled his hand out of mine an
