Chapter 9
Rebecca's POVI vomited the entire contents of my stomach into the sink. The nausea intensified, causing me to vomit several times.After the incident ended, I quickly cleaned my mouth with water. I felt my body getting weaker and seemed to be losing strength. I looked at my reflection in the bathroom mirror, and there I saw my very pale face with my lips starting to turn white."I hope you're okay, dear. I'm sure you're a strong child, just like your father."I bowed my head as I rubbed my stomach which still looked flat. It's not even visible from the outside, so no one knows that I'm pregnant.Thinking about Luke makes my heart hurt again. The image of his handsome face disturbed my heart again, making my eyes suddenly wet and teary."Alpha, I miss you so much," I whispered unconsciously, and at that moment my tears fell down my cheeks.For a few moments, I was still crying about my longing for AlChapter 10Rebecca's POV "Alpha, Rebecca is pregnant," Doctor Louise said in a voice that sounded a little shaky.My body trembled even more at Doctor Louise's statement. I squeezed the fingers of my hands which were starting to feel cold. Anxiety had taken over me, making my face look pale at the moment."What? Pregnant?"I heard Ken's voice which seemed to imply his surprise, with the alpha's tone of voice rising slightly. I don't know if Ken's and Doctor Louise's gazes were both directed at me at this moment, as I preferred to keep my face down without daring to look at either of them.Indistinctly, my ears heard the sound of footsteps walking firmly towards me. My heart told me that it was the footsteps of the Alpha who must currently be approaching me."Rebecca," called the alpha. His voice sounded low and quiet, unlike earlier when he showed his surprise.Timidly, I raised my face and looked at him. Our e
Chapter 11Rebecca's POV "What do you call a woman who gets pregnant without a husband, if not a bitch?"My whole body was trembling at the accusations that were thrown at me. My eyes felt like they were heating up, channeling all the emotions within me. I couldn't stop my tears from falling as their insulting words pierced my heart."Just so you know, Rebecca. Don't ever expect that you will be able to get close to our alpha because we will never want the alpha to get close to a woman like you," said another girl, who was now standing right in front of me."That's right. Don't ever dream of flirting with an alpha. We will never let our alpha get married to an unchaste woman like you. You bitch!""Stop what you're saying!" I was forced to shout in a high tone.Hearing my shout, the girls immediately fell silent. I didn't want to stir up trouble and make things more complicated. However, I also couldn't bear to hear the
Chapter 12 Ken's POV "Alpha, one of the horse guards wants to see you to report something." Adrian, the beta suddenly faced me."Let him in!""Yes, alpha."I waited on my royal throne, thinking about what the horse guards in the palace would say. Not long after, I saw Adrian enter along with a horse guard who was several hundred years older than me."Report, alpha!""Go ahead, Jeremy!""The horses at our farm have been missing for several nights. I've looked everywhere for tracks, but nothing. I'm worried that a Rogue or a werewolf from an enemy clan has infiltrated our territory," Jeremy said, and I could see the look of anxiety on his face.The report from Jeremy was enough to surprise me, but I tried to remain calm. If I was rash, then it would be bad for the survival of the Pack Blackmoon members."Alright, I'll call a meeting to discuss this matter. Now you go and take good care of the r
Chapter 13Luna's POV"Help! This hurts!" I whimpered as I held my stomach in unimaginable pain."Rebecca!"I saw the alpha approaching me quickly. He quickly grabbed my hand, lifted me gently, and immediately carried my body. But again I saw the anxiety on his handsome face."Rebecca, you're bleeding!"My ears couldn't seem to hear what the alpha was saying. But I could see the worry growing on his face. Yes, this was the first time I saw Alpha so panicked."How is this? You're bleeding and your skin is blistering too. Well, I'll heal your skin first. It won't take long," Ken said even more frantically.I couldn't seem to answer the alpha's words. Because I could only continue to feel the pain that ran through my body.While still enjoying the pain that pierced my stomach, I felt my body as if it was floating lightly in the air. The pain on my skin and face was also like needles piercing deeply."Hold on, Rebecca." Alpha's voice sounded frantic, then he quickly led me to a long chai
Chapter 14Rebecca's POV"What? Like me?" I stared wide-eyed, looking at Ken in disbelief.However, the alpha looked nervous and increasingly embarrassed. He quickly looked away to hide the redness that was on his cheeks. "Ah, I'm sorry, Rebecca. I just misspoke. I didn't mean it like that," said Ken, but his words sounded very nervous and shaking."Ah, okay, alpha. That's impossible after all. Or maybe I just heard wrong." I smiled and lay down again to rest."Yes, that's possible. Now you rest. I will always wait for you here.""Thank you very much, Alpha."That's how it ended. That night and several nights after that, Alpha always faithfully looked after me while I was being treated at the healer center. He even missed several ceremonial events, because he was busy accompanying me who was being treated intensively.Until finally a few days later, Doctor Louise finally allowed me to return to the palace. Accompanied by Ken, I went back to rest in the room. And starting tonight, I'm
Chapter 15Rebecca's POV"Rebecca!" The female healer's helper at the Healer Center scanned my face. Perhaps it was because I had fallen silent as soon as I heard the ending of the incident that left me lying in this room."Oh." I smiled. "I'm fine," I said to dispel the worry on her face."Uh ...." A long exhale came out of this woman's mouth. "Thank goodness! I was worried you were in shock from hearing all that."Once again, I shook my head to reassure my interlocutor.Then, she washed my body with warm water and straightened my back while inserting a large pillow behind me.A pair of hurried steps entered this room. But, they stopped here at the curtain. "Can I come in?"And it was Ken's voice."Wait!" replied the woman who helped with the healer's task. She asked me to eat something very sweet and finished a glass of milk.Then, she carried the empty cutlery away. "In a moment, I'll come with porridge and a potion that will draw out the poison that may have already entered the di
Chapter 16Luke's POV"Agh!" I woke up suddenly. "What's going on? Why did I suddenly wake up and feel bad?"I held my chest as if that would get rid of this bad feeling immediately.I got off the bed and walked towards the window. "The sun hasn't come up yet." Then, I approached the digital clock in the corner of the room. "Ah, maybe it'll be light in an hour."But, this bad feeling in my heart made me unable to stay in my room.I decided to leave the room to alleviate this feeling, even though it was still dark outside."Luke!"Someone called out to me when I was just coming out of the hallway that led to the side garden.I turned my head and saw the Beta of the Winterblood court standing as he looked at me in surprise."What brings you out of your room so early, Luke?" He approached.I shrugged. "I don't know, I just ...." And I couldn't explain what was raging in my heart."Do you need someone to talk to, Luke?" He offered.I was silent for a moment, but then I nodded slowly.Th
CHAPTER 17Rebecca's POVThe morning in Blackwood Castle was beautiful. The bright blue sky shaded the palace which was surrounded by tall pine trees."Oh... how cute ...." I wiggled my fingers in Lucas's grip."Maybe his eyes don't see clearly yet, but he can already track his mother's voice," said Esme who was in the corner of the room.That woman was assigned to help me take care of Lucas after I left the Healer Center.I, who was sitting by the window with Lucas on my lap, turned to her and smiled. "Esme, I'm grateful to live in this place. After this birth, I'm allowed not to work for a while."Esme, who was arranging Lucas' tiny clothes, stopped her hand movements and turned to me. "Who would allow laboring mothers who were also poisoned? If Ken doesn't give me a full break, he'll be a cruel Alpha.""Lucas!"The cheerful shout from outside the room made Esme and me look at each other. "Just talked about it, eh, it appeared." Esme shook her head.She put Lucas' tiny clothes down
