Chapter 1

"Are you serious?!" It was the excitement in his voice that made his parents break out in a smile, the Luna letting out a small giggle.

"Yes You're allowed to throw a party but no crazy things and Valerie is basically in charge." The Luna gave her conditions and I watched my best friend nod along like a little child.

Rohan was finally turning 18 and heh had always wanted a birthday party, we came to plead our case and his parents finally said yes.

"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" Hr punched the hair with so much happy vigor, "I love you guys so much!" And went ahead to suffocate them with a bear hug. 

"Calm down, You're still a kiddo to us." His father straightened and Rohan only rolled his eyes, "We will be gone for a few days only, don't sell off the pack in a bet like you did the last time." He warned and I held back my laughter.

There was a time he did sell off the pack to the son of the neighboring pack. Fortunately for all of us, both alphas were childhood friends and taught their sons a big lesson.

"I won't!" He saluted.

Days pass and the party is in a full swing. Rohan had gotten me a pink dress that had the most beautiful ruffles and a diamond pendant. I was friends with the Alpha's son, and he had been very good to me. I was more of his caretaker but he saw.

 me as the only one he could trust. Ultimately, he made me his date for the night.

And I made sure he didn't blow everything up.

"Here Val, just take a little." He pushed the drink closer to me and the intoxicating scent itched my nose, causing my face to squeeze.

"No Han, I have to stay sober so I can make sure you don't run into the wild naked." I pushed it back and turned to see the goofiest drunk smile I had ever seen on his face.

"Don't be so stuck up Val! It's just a sip, You're not going to get drunk from a sip." He cackled at me, a hiccup taking him by surprise.

I wasn't moved.

"You're just scared, that's why." And he downed the rest, to pour himself some more. I could handle anything, fighting a lion with bare hands but I couldn't stomach being called scared. Growing up with the hatred of the whole pack for being an orphan gave me the courage to do anything.

The Luna was the one who found me after I stole some food to survive and she took me in. And that was how I met Rohan. He was like a brother to me, and like typical brothers, they get on your nerves. And he had stepped on mine.

"I'm not scared!" I barked back at him, my brown orbs lit with feral determination and I snatched the glass from him and downed it in less than a minute. It was bitter and harsh against my throat but I shook it off, "don't ever call me that." I barked at him.

But he smiled at me with dreamy eyes and poured another glass, his smile becoming more idiotic.

"I bet You're too scared to take another." He waved it at me and I wanted to forget he was the Alpha's son and whoop his silly ass. The only thing that stopped me was the woozy feeling the alcohol gave me after a few minutes and inevitably I took the glass from him and took a sip.

"I'm not scared…I like it…" I admitted shamelessly and he laughed at me. Soon we were laughing at each other and dancing with our worst moves, with everyone cheering us on.

Everything was spinning so fast and it began to spin faster when his lips pressed against mine. It was all a blur, it felt like a beautiful dream, I could feel tingles all over me.

My long lashes fluttered slowly and as I came around, the batman wall clock that hung loosely was familiar and I realized I was in Rohan's room. In his bed.

Naked.

I scurried to pull the sheets across my bare skin and my fair skin was turning pink. I was trying to remember what happened, he kissed me then…he licked my neck and… oh Goddess no!

I turned to my right and he was snoring like an animal, he was also naked and the facepalm that followed was enough to send me crashing back to the bed. What have we done?

It was just a mistake right? I kept imagining what would happen if his parents found out, they would send me into the wild and I'll probably be killed. I turned once again to face him.

It was a beautiful moment, never to be repeated again.

Days passed and his parents came back from their meeting. Rohan had been silent for the past few days and I could understand, he couldn't look at me the same way. Neither could I.

"Did you enjoy your birthday party honey?" His mom pulled his cheeks and the best he could do was manage a smile, "I trust you handled things well Val?" She pulled my cheeks too and I managed a nod.

It could be that I nodded too hard but I started to feel nauseated. I held back the puke that wanted to force its way out of my mouth and the Luna noticed it.

"Are you alright Val?" She was concerned but I could only nod, the nausea came back and I was forced to leave their presence and throw up elsewhere.

But that wasn't the last one, I kept throwing up and soon I was sick and in bed. I was rolling around trying to get some rest until I heard a knock on my door.

"Are you okay Val?"

His voice made me jerk from my resting position, he was in casual clothing and he wore a concerned look on his face. I wanted to come to him but he stopped me with his raised palm. He crossed the distance between us and sat beside me.

"I came to apologize." He started, I listened, "What happened was a mistake and I didn't treat you right after, not talking to you and all." He maintained deep eye contact and I knew he was sorry.

"I'm not angry." I croaked.

"But you should be. You're my best friend and my sister, I wish I never got you drunk…" there was silence before he spoke again, "you won't tell mom and dad right?" His eyes were expecting. I was silent for a while before my lips parted.

"It's our secret."

His shoulders slumped In relief when I said that, "mom says you should go to the pack doctor to check what's wrong with you. She thinks it's food poisoning." He relayed the information before putting his hand on mine, breaking my concentration, "do you want me to follow you?"

"No you don't need to. I'll go by myself." I flashed him a sincere smile before reaching out for a hug, one he warmly and eagerly took.

The pack hospital wasn't so far, it was a stone throw and I got there on time so I could return early enough to help around the pack house. The doctor examined me and then told me to wait in his office for me.

I was nervous. I had never felt this way before, I stared at everything to distract me but I couldn't shake off the anxiety that was building up inside of me.

Then he came back and took his seat. I leaned in and he handed me a file, I opened it and read a bunch of things but it wasn't making sense to me.

"What does this mean?" I pointed out, I knew, I didn't want to believe it was true.

"Valerie, You're pregnant."
