"W...wait, please, stop." Emma breathed heavily as they climbed up a hill. Her body was sticky with sweat and her hair stuck to her hair."Are you okay?" Mia asked, turning to look at her. She had to walk carefully toward Emma due to how steep the hill was."I think we need to take a rest. I'm exhausted." Emma said, holding onto Mia. Her eyes were starting to shut but then she tried to keep them open. On the other hand, Mia looked at her with pity and then looked around. There was nowhere to rest on the hill.If they decide to take refuge on the hill, it would be dangerous. It was obvious it was about to rain and they would get hurt. "I think we have to go down the hill to find a place to rest. Please, let's walk a few more minutes." Mia said, slowly. Emma was silent for a moment, thinking, and then she nodded her head.She followed every of Mia's words as she didn't want to become a burden. Or let the maid think her decision to follow Emma was a mistake.Slowly, they walked up an
Emma held onto her stomach as she gagged. Her lips were parted and her eyes were closed."Ahnnngg..." She made a loud sound as something threatened to go up her throat, however, nothing came out. She felt really uncomfortable and at the same time, she was confused.She rested her back on the wall slowly, not knowing what to do. She had never felt like this before and the uncomfortable feeling in her throat and abdomen wouldn't stop. A few seconds passed and Emma couldn't take it anymore.Slowly, she leaned forward as she wanted to force herself to throw up.Her right hand held onto her abdomen while her other hand hit her chest.She felt like something bitter and vile was stuck in her throat and she was desperate to get it out. "Hmmm..." She groaned as her body fell to the ground, as she was too weak. She curled up and opened her mouth, still trying to get what was stuck out.However, nothing came out.Emma's eyes turned red as her stomach tightened.Her groans increased as her ey
After taking a dip in the flowing river, Emma and Mia got dressed and then set off. They had been walking for hours under the scorching sun. Sweat ran down Emma's red face as she groaned, tiredly.Mia who was walking ahead turned back to see Emma struggling to continue going. "Are you tired?" Mia asked, with a small smile on her face.She was visibly stronger than Emma considering she is a Werewolf."Yes!" Emma said, breathing heavily. Her brows scrunched up and she looked around her.There was a large tree a few steps away from her."Let's rest over there..." She said, pointing at the tree."Sure!" Mia had no qualms about sitting under the tree. They were far away from the Red Moon Pack and she wasn't scared of Audrey. "How long do you think we have before we get to the nearest village?" Emma asked, as she slowly sat down. She sighed in satisfaction as she could feel the sun's scorching heat anymore.A cool breeze blew across her face and she closed her eyes."I think we have to
"Hmmm..." Emma groaned in her sleep as she shifted uncomfortably on the bed.Her eyes were shut tight but she wasn't even sleeping.She felt pain radiating through her body from her abdomen and other parts. As she continued to shift on the bed, Mia who was beside her opened her eyes slowly. There was a frown on her face as she tried to comprehend what was happening.It was almost dawn and the sky was still dark. As Mia sat upright, she put on the lamp which was by the bedside."Ahhh..." Emma continued to groan and the maid turned to look at her.Slowly, she touched Emma's body and immediately she took her hand away due to how hot she was. "Ma'am, are you okay?" She asked, with great worry.Her eyes were wide as she quickly took Emma in her arms."I feel sick..." Emma said, in a shaky tone. Her eyes opened up slowly and she could only see a blurry image of Mia."What should I do? You are burning up." Mia said, hurriedly."I'll be right back!" She said and immediately, she placed Emma
Emma was seen walking into the house, however, she was sweaty and tired. Her legs shook as she slumped against the wall and to the ground.Her body felt weak and she was extremely dizzy."Ma'am, are you back?" Mia asked, as soon as she heard movements in the house.Immediately, she dashed out of the bedroom to see Emma on the floor."Ahhh.." She screamed, in fear, thinking she had fainted.As soon as she got to Emma's side, she took her up in her arms."Are you okay?" She asked, hurriedly after realizing Emma hadn't fainted."I'm fine." She replied, with so much difficulty. At this point, she felt like her body wasn't hers anymore."I need to take you in." Mia said and quickly, she took up Emma in her arms. Being a Werewolf made Mia have so much strength and she was able to carry Emma, effortlessly."Thank you." She said, as soon as she lay on the bed.She then closed her eyes, trying to steady her breath. "Are you okay? What did the healer say? I shouldn't have let you out without t
There was silence for a few moments as Emma looked at the witch with wide eyes. There was a confused look on her face and she looked at the witch like she had grown two heads.What do you mean?" She asked, finally. At this point, she chose to think that she had heard about being pregnant wrongly.On the other hand, the witch smiled, looking from Emma to Mia.Mia then held onto her, with a fearful look on her face as the witch's smile was spooky."You don't believe me?" The witch asked, after some time, looking at Emma.On the other hand, Emma nodded her head frantically while Mia looked at her with a frown.She was starting to think if Emma had truly slept with Audrey and that was why she was pregnant."You are pregnant!" The witch repeated, with a small smile on her face.Her eyes looked directly at Emma and it showed honesty."It's already a month and you are just getting the symptoms now." She added.On the other hand, Emma was stumped as she held onto her chest. She couldn't breat
"Yes, I do." The witch said, with a small smile on her face.She then looked at Emma and Mia with a serious gaze. In the next second, she disappeared and appeared right back where she was before."How do you do that?" Emma asked, with a frightened look on her face.Her eyes widened in shock. However, the witch smiled, mysteriously. "How do you know Audrey?" She asked, seeing the witch was not about to reply to her messages.The witch then burst into a peal of low laughter. "I know most Alphas around." She said and Emma frowned.She didn't believe what the witch said to her about her child.She couldn't believe how a witch could detect a child's paternity, just like that."Is there anything else we need to know?" Mia asked while Emma was lost in her own thoughts."No, she just has to take care of myself. You will receive few medicines for the mother and child when you step out." The witch instructed, stretching her hand toward the door."Yes, thank you." Mia said and then held onto
A few weeks later...There was a knock on the door and Mia frowned, looking at the door."Are you expecting anyone?" She asked, Emma still with a frown on her face."I think so." Emma said, sheepishly and Mia raised her brows."I'll get the door." Mia said, placing the basket of farm produce in her hands on the table.During the past weeks, she had taken on odd jobs to get more money.The money she had stolen from Audrey was being depleted. A few seconds later, Mia opened the door and a handsome man came into view."Hi there." Jonathan said, with a smile."May I speak to Emma?" He asked. His smile was beautiful and Mia was a bit entranced.She then turned to look at Emma who had already seen Jonathan."I'll take over from here." Emma said, standing up to her feet.As she passed by Mia, the maid whispered, "Be careful." Emma nodded her head, discreetly and walked out of the door."It's nice to see you again, Emma." He said, with a smile, as the door closed behind them. "Nice to see
