CHAPTER 3

Vanya's POV:

"Oh my goodness doctor! Will she be okay?! I don't want anything to happen to my best friend! You have to make sure that she'll be fine! Do you hear me?!"

I woke to the sound of an angry voice and machines beeping. The smell of disinfectant in the air let me know that I was in a hospital. For a moment I was lost, then I started to recall all that had happened.

Cian rejected me.

The pain started to register, along with the sound of my wolf mewling in pain. My hand went to my stomach, and I sighed. The tears started to gather again, stinging my eyes. 

"Best friend!" I heard the voice cry out. 

Josephine. 

I turned my head to her, mustering the darkest glare I could. She grabbed my hand, tears in her eyes. Tears that I was sure were fake. 

"I'm so happy you're okay now!"

I pulled my hand away from her and turned to doctor John. "Where is my husband?" I asked.

"He..." Doctor John started to say and sighed. "I'm sorry, my Luna, he didn't come."

"Oh she's not Luna anymore." Josephine said, turning to the doctor. "Don't call her that. You're going to make her sad and she'll start crying all over again. I hate to see my best friend in such pain."

Doctor John looked confused, his eyes moving between I and Josephine. "Um...okay?"

I glared at Josephine. "Thank you for your help. You may leave now."

"Aww, come on," Josephine whined. "We have a lot to talk about and you're just going to..."

"Get out!" I screamed at her. "I don't want to ever see you again!"

She pulled back, sucking her teeth. "Fine." She huffed and got to her feet. "I'll be back when you're finally ready to talk in a calm manner."

"Don't let her back here." I said to doctor John.

He nodded, his brows furrowed in confusion.

"Bye Best friend," Josephine said and blew me a kiss. "I'll see you later." She turned and left.

Cian didn't even bother to check up on me? And I was going to tell him about the baby. What was the point? If I even got him to take me back for the sake of the baby what would happen when I had the child? He would take it from me and he and Josephine would raise it together.

I shivered, hugging myself tightly.

"Luna?" Doctor John said, placing a warm hand on my shoulder. 

"Did you tell Cian that I'm pregnant?"

"No, I had hoped you would tell him yourself."

"Don't ever tell him." I said, glancing up at him. I rose to my feet. 

"You need to rest for a bit. Your body underwent a huge amount of stress, it's not good for you and the baby."

I laughed softly. Stress was a severe understatement. My mate and husband just rejected me. 

"Will my baby be okay?" I asked, tears misting in my eyes. "Will the.... will the rejection hurt them?"

"It could," doctor John said. "It hasn't been recorded, but with your standing as an omega..."

I raised my hand and he fell quiet. Enough of the omega talk. I know it. And I don't need anyone rubbing it in. "I'll be fine." I announced in a firm voice. Yes. I'll be fine. "I accept his rejection."

"Luna..."

The last part of the bond dissolved into nothing. Tears rolled down my eyes. I hugged myself, pulling my knees to my chest. 

"It hurts..." I cried. "It hurts so bad..."

Doctor John patted my back. He didn't say anything. 

****

Josephine dropped my suitcase off for me in the hospital. Words couldn't describe how insulted I felt. 

"My lady please," Emily grabbed my hand, pulling me back. "Please let me come with you!"

"You can't " I replied with a smile. "I'm not Luna anymore. You're not under any obligation to serve me."

"I want to!" She cried. "Please! Don't cast me out! You're all I have!"

"I wish I could, but my decision has already been made." I replied. 

She bit her lip hard, and I could see the tears in her eyes. "I..."

I pulled her into a hug. I'll miss her, a whole lot. But this is something I must do for myself and my child. I can't have any ties left to the werewolf world. Not even Emily my loyal bodyguard.

"Goodbye Now, Emily." 

"My lady," She sobbed into my shoulder. 

I felt a few tears leave my eyes too. Behind her I could see the car waiting for me. I was surprised it had taken them so little time to respond to my distress call. The driver took off his sunglasses, piercing gray eyes meeting mine. He leaned on the car, watching me with an unreadable expression.

"I have to go now," I said, pulling away from Emily. "Take care of yourself, okay?"

She nodded. "And you too, my lady."

I walked past her to the car. He held the door open, a smile on his face. "Took you long enough, daughter." He said. 

"Thank you, father." I replied, getting into the car.

Marco Leon. An old friend of my father. According to my father before he died, Marco was the one who had suggested my name, which came about the fond nickname I used for him.

Father.

I found a letter after my parent’s death with his contact information should anything ever happen to them.

"Where are we going?" I asked, turning to glance at him. 

"Your new home." He replied. "Emilia will be so excited to see you again."

I touched my stomach, a smile on my face. "I'll be happy to see her too."

Marco glanced at me but said nothing. I hadn't said anything to him yet and I guess he was just dying to know.

I'm going to raise this child by myself. And I'm going to make sure I'm never seen as a lowly omega again.

Watch it!!!!
