CHAPTER 5

Lucinda’s POV

I was allowed to leave and was paid thirty (30) percent of everything they received last night. I could have asked for more but I know they have to pay staff plus I'm not that greedy.

If only my situation was real and Someone was going to come for me but I know better than anyone that if Alpha Killian was going to come, he would have been there since last night.

If he had come to rescue me, I would have had him shut down the place but since I'm on my own, I had to think of other ways to leave. I very well know that they would have been suspicious of me if I hadn't requested money in exchange for my silence. Leaving empty-handed while promising silence after threatening them that someone powerful was going to come for them would have given away my lie.

As I walked down the street in my tight dress and barefoot in broad daylight, I wondered what I was going to do with my suitcase filled with money.

It was almost evening before I reached home. Once my mom saw me, she immediately knew I had a rough night. I didn't know when but I ran into her arms and cried. I cried all over again because of the events of last night. A night I would never forget.

ONE MONTH LATER

“You're pregnant, Lucinda.” The doctor announced. Her words echoed inside my head.

I was dreading to hear that news, honestly, I kind of knew because of how sick I was but I didn't want to accept that fact.

After that night, I kept on working as a waitress at a restaurant. I missed a day of work so my pay was deducted but I didn't mind and it's not because of the money I got from the whore house. I haven't even touched a dime from it since a month ago.

I should have taken it easy during work, if I had, I wouldn't have passed out and been brought to the hospital. Now Dr Susan knows! She's practically a gossip with no hint of professionalism. She would have been without a customer a long time ago because of this if only she wasn't the only doctor who was treating Omega in the whole pack.

And just as I expected, once I got home, everyone was giving me weird looks and some even boldly called me a whore, pregnant before getting married.

The news kept on spreading rapidly and I increasingly grew anxious. At this point, everyone knew that Alpha Killian had rejected me so my getting pregnant could only mean that the child I'm carrying is his and I'm sure he would think the same as well but I'm not sure if it's his.

That night, I slept with two werewolves and I don't know who the father of the life growing inside me but there's one thing's for sure, I can't go to either of them.

After the way Alpha Killian rejected me, I don't want my baby to have anything to do with him and if I go meet the Lycan king, I'm sure he'll take my baby away and we'll be separated since I'm only an Omega and he can't be with me.

The bottom line is that my baby and I are not safe in this pack. I can no longer live in this pack anymore.

After coming to that conclusion, I felt a bit happy and relieved. This pack has brought me nothing but pain anyway, it's best to go out and start anew and I have the money for it.

I told my parents my plans and although they were sad for me to go, they understood my reasons.

The next day, I packed some of my things and then rented a car to drive out of town, I didn't want to ride a bus or use a plane because everything would be recorded and my whereabouts could be found if someone decided to track me down.

I drove out of the border, leaving the Crescent Moon pack behind and I pray I never have to return to it.

I kept on driving and driving till late at night. I slept inside my car which I parked in the woods and once it was morning again, I continued my journey until I was very far from my former pack.

*****

I settled down at an enemy pack and changed my identity. I rented a nice house that should be big enough for my kids since I discovered I would be having twins. The news did overwhelm me a bit since I was all on my own with no support, financially or emotionally, I also didn't have anyone who would teach me how to take care of my kids but I was still excited to meet both of them.

While I still had enough money, I needed to start a business. I had a little space on the ground floor of the house and I decided to turn it into a bakery and cafe. Two months later, the shop finally opened for business but I didn't get any customers. After five days of no one visiting, I was starting to get depressed and worried about the future, all my money was almost gone. It was at this point in my life I met Marcus, who one day entered my shop and became my first customer and best friend.

Marcus tried my pastries and genuinely loved it, he invited his friends over, and he hosted parties and business meetings here which in turn got me even more customers and my business finally picked up.

We became friends, and although I didn't tell him the truth about myself we were very close. He brought his family to the shop one day and that was how I became friends with his family as well and a month later, I was due for labor. His mother was the one who helped me get to the hospital and consoled me when I thought I would die from all the pain I felt.

The delivery was successful and I was so happy to welcome my children to the world. I thought from now on, only joy awaited me until a nurse came in with someone, “Layla Woodward, the father of the children is here.” She announced and once I looked up, I froze, forgetting how to breathe.
