His promise of forever love

Scott!, That was what I wanted to say with pride.

I could see myself doing it and naming all his promises to me.

I'm sure even if didn't Scott would find a way of bringing me out of the tight corner.

A slap landed on my face, bringing me back to the reality.

“She is pregnant and smiling to herself, Is it a thing to be happy about?”.

I felt my world crashing as I realized that indeed a slave wasn't permitted to get pregnant just like it was rumored.

I wonder how they got to know, it was not like they had done this to everyone.

“You must be curious rather than worried about your fate, or aren't you scared at all?” an Epsilon said, making my heart skip.

What fate!!.

The way and manner they were dragging this issue made me terrified as I wondered what was the fate of a pregnant slave like they had said.

I was a pregnant woman, so what else did they want to do to me because I got pregnant.

I wondered still crying when pregnancy became a pack thing or a matter to be discussed among the pack elders alongside the Beta and Alpha.

“Well not everyone buys a pregnancy kit” another said and showed me my test.

It was no wonder why I was worried during the early hours of today, I immediately looked at Scott.

Did he by any chance have any idea of this meeting, or was he in fact the one that had planned this out?

I have been giving him little tips of how it seems that I was pregnant, and also he had commented on my breasts the other night.

Was he the one, or was he really innocent and couldn't help me at this point?

Worst still, the man I was pregnant for seemed as curious as they were as though he was not the one I spend my nights with.

“I'd ask you again and if I get no reply, then you'd be in real trouble” the eldest Epsilon said, pulling me out of my thoughts and tears.

“Those crocodile tears of yours wouldn't help you at all, it would rather implicate you the more” he added.

“It's obvious that you are pregnant, and it had also be proven too by your pregnancy kit alongside your obvious body changes and signs”.

“More especially, it was noted you do sleep anyhow and your mood swings too, so we did our search, and you were found guilty”.

“So…”

My heart began thumping harder than ever as they all looked at me, awaiting my reply.

“Aria!” He shouted, pulling me back to the present.

“Aria Jones” he added again before saying, “who is the father of your unborn child?”.

“Of your bastard child!!” The Beta added rudely, making me gasp and immediately lock eyes with Scott.

I almost laughed at what was happening here.

My heart was still thumping hard against my chest as I was asked that question.

I hoped and prayed in my mind that Scott would speak up or do something already, even though I knew he wouldn't.

I still choose to trust him, as the only thing that was being heard in the room was my heart beat.

How could someone do this to the same person they claimed to love and cherish was surprising?

What if the final decision turned out to be death?

What if they decide to remove my child…our child forcefully!

Didn't he care at all?

This was his first child and first heir of the pack!

I felt like screaming in front of everyone that this coward of an Alpha was the father.

He had promised me forever under the stars and moon.

The heavenly bodies were our witness as he made it a habit to always proclaim his love for me and how he saw me as Luna, sited beside him on his throne.

Scott was the one that made me look forward for the future after my parent's death

He was the one who knocked me up, and here he was staring at me with no emotion on his face.

Moreover, It was less than a week before he'd become Alpha, so why wasn't he saying anything at all.

What about those promises he made toe, to our future, even to my late parents on their dead bodies?

Didn't they matter anymore?

The kisses, our playful banters, the sneaking around, was I the only one taking it as serious as it seemed?

The promise of a better future, his promise of forever love.

His words rang in my ears, making the tears that were escaping my eyes.

“Once we get into this, no one ever has to hear this until I mark you as Luna and if by any chance leaks out.”

“ Then I'm sorry, but I won't get involved” he had said while he thrust into me.

He was indeed right, I was all alone now and never have I feel this alone before.

Then I was too excited, and the pleasure then blocked my senses to think about that statement very well, but being in this situation made me realize how right and truthful he was.

I wondered if I should answer at all or let them humiliate in this way.

I opened my mouth to speak when the Beta took the words out my mouth and mockingly said, “the slut doesn't know who has the bastard”.

It seemed like he was against me and anything I wanted to say because of the cu

My heart fell, this was a man who had helped our family then, or was he also on Scott side here.

The side of pretentious people that only cared for you when you weren't on the bad side of the law.

He used to be a friend of my parents and was always visiting them until their deaths.

As he said, they all burst into laughter, I made a move to protest that my cold wasn't a bastard, but then Scott looked at me.

The threat in his eyes in his eyes was obvious, and it made me shiver.l and successfully broke my heart a thousand times.

I needed no sorcerer to tell me that Scott had washed his hand out of my issue and if I was suspecting that I was alone, he had just confirmed.

He was asking me to shut my mouth when I knew that the moment my mouth open, my child and I would be given a chance to be judged right.

The guards weren't even making it easy for me because as soon as Scott shot me a look, the guard holding a sword against my chest pushed it closer to my chest.

I watched the epsilon gather round the table that was facing where I knelt and talk in shushed tones.

“Do you know it's against the rules of the pack to carry that bastard?” One of them asked me, making me raise my head to stare at them.

I moved to talk when another spoke, “I wonder how you did it, I mean it seems like a curse is flowing down your family tree”.

My heart broke as it hit me that they were mocking my late parents.

The Beta burst into laughter as he said, “her parents betrayed the pack while their daughter that should more concentrated more on making a name for herself is a cheap slut that got cornered in her web”.

They burst into laughter, joining him to mock me, I raised my head to see Scott laughing alongside them.

I wanted to scream how much of a lie that was and the only bed

They started throwing shades at me, ignoring the flood that was escaping my eyes.

Every time I'd try explaining or saying anything, they would all shut me up with their laughs, and it was beginning to seem like they were aware of my affair with their affair.

It was understandable if that was indeed their reason because no one ever gave me the voice I was entitled too.

The pack elders of Blue Moon pack sat down, deciding, not minding her at all.

“She's loose” I heard one of them say.

“Well this are benefits of having betrayals as parents” she heard the Beta reply scornfully.

“Don't you think you are going too far?” The head of the Epsilon asked.

“Too far?” He asked, before adding, “I wasn't the one that got all knocked up and didn't even know the father of the bastard”.

I knew the father of my child and my child wasn't a bastard.

I couldn't believe the story I had told the world was that I was weak in strength, heart and mind, I had let Scott fool me.

Not only that, but I wondered how I could be blind to the signs I was seeing, this was the worst way for me to have found out.

My eyes were stuck on the one person that had caused all this, Scott Adams.

The Alpha prince of Blue moon pack, the one that had promised me heaven on earth.

Last night's memories flashed in my unconscious mind.

**Flashback**

“You can't stay over tonight” Scott said as he planted kisses on my neck.

“Why?” I asked him, looking at him confused.

What was today different from other days, I wanted to ask him, but held back myself.

“What do you think, why don't we run around to our spot, I have a surprise for you” he said with his signature smirk plastered on his face?

He knew that I'd never refuse him on this one.

The thrills of bathing naked in that lake with his body next to mine overshadowed his suspicious request.

“Fine, in our wolf form or…” he interrupted me immediately with a laugh.

A laugh that caused my heart to get warmer in bliss.

In a time when wolves were allowed to pick their mates, the moon goddess had blessed me with an Alpha.

One that had promised to erase the bad name of my family and perfect the name of my dad.

I looked at him, and then he pulled me into a kiss before muttering, “God, you don't ever have the slightest idea of how much I love you”.

His hands trailed down my body before stopping at my butt and groping them and this too.

“I love you too” I whispered back.

“Babe” he said while sucking the soft spot on my neck.

“Yeah” I moaned out.

“What are your thoughts on being my Luna?” He asked.

**End of flashback**

I sobbed harder and was called out by the Beta, “shut that slut up or I'll be forced to, and once I do, it will not be any funny”.

My eyes moved to Scott and I pleaded with my eyes that he'd do something like he swore too.

He had always promised me a bright future, especially on the night of my parent's death on the night he had gotten me into his bed.

 

What happened to those sweet words he used to say while we made love, did they all mean nothing to him?

The more the truth was being revealed, the harder it was for me to believe.

I could hear them saying mean things about me and I hoped he'd say just one thing, but he didn't rather he looked away from my pleading eyes and bleeding eyes shocking me more than I was already shocked.

He turns to the same Beta that had been insulting I and our child, who then shakes his head scornfully at me.

His nonchalance about all these accusations shocked me more.

Who was this, and what had they done to my Scott?

Could it be that he was promised the throne, If he'd pretend like he didn't know me at all?

 Someone among them cleared their throat, and I raised my blurry eyes to meet the person.

“Aria Jones” he began and so did the thumping of my heart.

“We have come to a decision”.
