It's been a few weeks since Stephan's rejection, and these past few weeks have been way worse than anything she's ever experienced. Everything Stephan ordered to be carried out on her has been done in ten folds, despite them having workers in the pack, she was being made to do almost everything, leaving her super exhausted by the end of the day. Stephan also hasn't stopped to sexually and physically abuse her, even though he's rejected her.
For weeks, all Jasmine could do was cry as she didn't have anyone who would stand up for her, nor anyone who would rescue her from this torment and torture she's been made to go through every single day.
She was currently sitting outside the pack house washing the pack member's clothes when she suddenly felt nauseous. Jasmine immediately stood up and went to throw up, literally vomiting the little breakfast she had earlier. After throwing up, she stood up and wanted to return to her chores, but then she felt nauseous again and threw up for the second time.
Jasmine placed her hand on her forehead; she was already burning up. Lately, she's been feeling sick, randomly throwing up, getting easily irritated and also having headaches once in a while. She couldn't tell what was wrong with her because she hasn't had the chance to go visit the pack doctor, but now that she really wants to find out what's happening to her, she puts it at the back of her mind to go visit the pack doctor when she is done with her chores.

Jasmine finally managed to complete all her chores, and to say she was tired was an understatement, she felt like she could collapse at any moment. She was currently resting in her room, and she could only pray that no one comes to bother her because if she's made to do any work, there's no doubt she would pass out from exhaustion. Luckily for her, she hasn't vomited again after throwing up earlier.
Even though she was so tired, she forced herself to get up so she could go see the doctor; the earlier she knows what's happening to her, the better. If she has a chronic illness, then she hopes that's the thing that kills her because she's so tired of living this miserable life, she has no one and nothing to live for. Her existence means nothing and If she dies, no one would bat an eye, not even Stephan.
On her way to the pack doctor's office, Jasmine made sure that she was careful to not be seen by anyone because the last thing she needs is having this news getting to Stephan.
When she arrived at the pack doctor's office, she gently knocked on her door, waited until she heard a “come in” before going inside, and she was thankful that there was no one else with the lady.
“Jasmine.” The pack doctor instantly stood up from her chair. “Oh dear, it's been ages since I last saw you.” The woman went to hug her.
Because she was well aware of what Jasmine has been through, she treated her differently from everyone else, she was the only person in the entire pack who wasn't mean to her; who didn't hate her.
“How have you been?” She asked, gently taking Jasmine's hand and helping her sit down.
“I'm well, Mrs. Monroe.” Jasmine lied, a small smile placed on her lips. Even though Mrs. Monroe was nice to her, she really wasn't comfortable being there. Everything that's happened to her made her so terrified of being around anyone because she believes they would harm her in some kind of way. She was traumatized by her experience, and that has made her cherish her privacy so much that she has so much difficulty being around people.
“I don't feel well.” Jasmine started because the sooner she gets checked, the better. At least she'll be able to leave here quickly.
Mrs. Monroe went to take a seat, giving Jasmine her undivided attention. “Alright, dear. Please explain what's going on to me. How do you feel?'' She asked, and Jasmine explained what's been happening to her body these past few weeks.
By the time Jasmine was done, Mrs. Monroe could already diagnose her because her symptoms weren't new to her.
“When last did you have your period, Jasmine?” She asked.
Jasmine furrowed her brow as she thought about it, and that's when she realized that she didn't even get her period last month, but because of everything going on in her life, it slipped her mind.
“I… I can't remember.” She stuttered. “But I'm pretty sure I didn't get it last month, and I think it's probably because I've been so stressed out, that's why it's been delayed.”
Mrs. Monroe smiled in understanding. “No dear.” She shook her head. “The delay has nothing to do with stress….” She heaved a deep breath before breaking the news to her.
“You're pregnant, Jasmine. That's why you've been having those symptoms, it's all signs of pregnancy.”
Jasmine's heart literally skipped when she heard those words. “W…what?” She stuttered. “I… I'm pregnant?” She asked. Mrs. Monroe nodded.
“Yes, Jasmine. You're pregnant.” She confirmed.
Jasmine's hands dropped to her side and she leaned into her chair; a wave of grief washed over her. This should have been good news, she should be happy about this, but instead of feeling happiness, she felt so much pain and fear. If Stephan were to find out about this, he's definitely going to make her lose this pregnancy, like he had done with her previous pregnancies.
Tears began streaming down her cheeks as the memories of her previous miscarriages flashed through her mind, and all were due to Stephan's beating each time he found out she was pregnant. He would make sure to beat her up and that would cause her to lose her baby.
She slowly placed her hand on her stomach. “I'm so sorry.” She apologized to the child she was carrying in her womb. “It's all my fault for being weak. I apologize for having to bring you to this cruel world. I'm so sorry, baby.” She whispered, crying bitterly.
“Jasmine?” Mrs. Monroe called softly, worry and concern written all over her face.
Jasmine thought hard about what she was going to do. She knew she couldn't afford to lose this pregnancy again. She can't afford to let Stephan find out and lose her baby this time. No! She's not going to let him have his way because she's going to protect the child in her womb with her life. If she were to lose this baby, then she would commit suicide because that would be the last straw of everything she can take.
The only way to save herself and her child is to leave this pack, and that she will do with no hesitation. For this baby, she's willing to risk it all to make sure she carries this child to full term and birth this baby.
She now has something to live for; her miracle baby because this baby has brought hope to her life and given her something to fight for, something to want to live for. She suddenly felt a wave of energy coursing through her body.
Before leaving the pack doctor's office, Jasmine went on her knees and begged her to keep her pregnancy a secret from everyone, most especially Stephan. Already knowing what would happen if Stephan were to find out about her pregnancy, the pack doctor promised to keep her secret and wished her luck in anything she does.
Jasmine thanked her profusely before leaving her office.
When she got outside, she placed her hand on her stomach and made a promise to her child.
“I will fight for you this time…”
“This is a mother's promise to her child.”
Jasmine has no idea on how she was ever going to make her escape from the blood moon pack, even though she was determined to leave, she didn't know how that was going to be possible, not until the perfect moment came knocking on her door; a party Stephan was hosting in a few days time.Her joy knew no bounds when she heard the news about the party, a massive party where other alpha's from neighboring packs will be in attendance, even most of the strongest alpha's. It appears that the moon goddess was on her side this time, and her golden plan was to escape when the party was at its peak because she was so sure her presence wouldn't be noticed then.Jasmine began counting the days until the night of the party; a night that would mark a new beginning for her and the child in her womb. For the next few days, she did her best to not overwork herself, and she began eating well, even though all that's always left for her were leftovers. She didn't let that discourage her and ate those lefto
Just when she thought her life was finally getting better, that was when fate decided to trick her once more.Jasmine recalled her promise to protect her baby. She gathered all the strength she had left in her and while the man was frantically undressing himself, Jasmine slapped him hard, she then pushed him off her and dragged herself up.She wanted to run away but got caught by the other two men. Jasmine tried fighting them off, she screamed at the top of her lungs; asking them to let her go, but instead she got slapped by one of them.The other man whom she had hit hurriedly stood up, he roughly grabbed her hand and turned her to him, then he also slapped her.“How dare you, bitch!” He thundered.Jasmine was crying bitterly. She hated herself for being so weak. If only she had a wolf, then she would have been able to defend herself from these rogues.“I was thinking of going easy on you, but since you want to do this the hard way, I'm going to make sure you regret your actions.” T
As they entered the Crescent moon pack's territory, Jasmine's eyes widened in awe. The pack's sprawling grounds were a masterful blend of wild beauty and organized structure. The air was alive with the sweet scent of blooming wildflowers and the soft rustle of leaves.The overall effect was breathtaking, a harmonious fusion of wilderness and wonder.When the car finally stopped, Nicolai got out first before going to help Jasmine out.“We should get you checked up first.” He said to her,“What?” Jasmine furrowed her brow, confused.“I mean, I'm going to take you to the pack doctor to examine you and get you treated if you have any injuries.'' He explained.Jasmine nods in understanding, she has no problem with this, at least she'll be able to know how her baby is doing. She placed her hand on her tummy as she followed Nicolai to the pack hospital.***Jasmine didn't expect the pack hospital to be as huge as it was, the one in her pack wasn't even up to this. Everything about the Cresce
''No…." Jasmine screamed as she woke up with a start, her clothes were soaked with her sweat, her breathing was uneven, and she had tears rolling down her cheeks.Every night isn't different from this particular night, and the dreams are not different from the same dream that woke her up; her losing her babies.She clutched her heart as she recalled just how many times she's had a miscarriage because of the monster she was with; her mate.Her life has never been easy. She's an orphan as she had lost her parents to the cruel hands of death at an early age, and she has no relatives…she has no one in this world except for herself.When she had met her mate Stephen who was also the alpha of their pack, she had thought that her life would change for the better; that she would finally have someone to lean on, someone to rely on, and someone who's going to be there for her, but how wrong she was to have thought her life would suddenly become better because she found her mate. Rather than her
