'Stop pretending!' Adrian said.'If you think lying as though you have fainted, will stop me from punishing you, then you better have a rethink!' he said raising his hand to hit her again but Iris remained unmoving. He turned her round but she remained still. He was about to leave the room when he saw blood dripping from her thighs. 'What the hell?' he thought and carried her back to the pack hospital that was in the same building, from where he had dragged her some hours previously.The doctors hurried to attend to her.'Why was there a lot of blood?' Alpha Adrian asked his personal physician when he came out after a couple of hours inside the ward with Iris.'Alpha Adrian, didn't you know your Luna was two months pregnant?' the doctor asked.'Well.. I er.. but why was there so much blood?' he asked shocked by the news. Why hadn't Iris told him she was pregnant?'We managed to save the pup this time', he said. 'but like I told your brother, she needs to take it easy, rest alot and ke
'That serves Andrew right for always supporting Iris against me!' she said to herself, as she walked into the room where Iris was receiving treatment.She looked at her sister looking so pale. 'My sister?' She isn't my sister. We are not related. Our fathers are different so are our mothers. I feel like I was just adopted with no blood relations to them!' she told herself.Iris stirred.'Oh, you're awake!' Roxy said.'Roxy, what do you want?' Iris asked weakly.'Is that any way to treat your own sister?' she asked sarcastically. ' I came to see how you are faring and all you can ask me is what I have come to do in your ward?''Please leave!' Iris said. 'I don't have the strength to argue with you'.'Then don't. Just listen!' Roxy commanded. 'Adrian will never accept the baby you have in you', she said smiling maliciously. 'He just left now. And do you know what he said before leaving?''I'm sure you will tell me!' Iris said with a hint of irony on her voice.'You bet!' Roxy smiled, ob
'I have smeared an anti-inflammatory cream on the bruise on your cheek, Luna Iris', the doctor said after checking up on her. 'The injection I just gave you contains a sedative, it performs a dual function of easing any pain and discomfort you might feel and luring you to sleep'.Iris nodded, she could not say anything. She was too overcome by the events unfolding daily in her life.'Thank you very much, Doctor ' A drew said.The doctor nodded and left, wondering what the problem was with Alpha Adrian. How could he make him attend to Roxy first before his own Luna?Andrew had come for him and as he was hurrying to see what had happened to their pregnant Luna, Adrian had stopped him.'Where are you going Doctor?' he asked. 'To attend to the Luna to avoid any danger to her or the baby!' he replied respectfully but purposefully.'Attend to Roxy first!' he ordered. 'She is seriously injured and can barely move!''Sorry, Alpha?' he said astonished not believing he had heard right.'Do you
'What a cozy little scene. My Luna holding hands intimately with my brother who is head over heels in love with her!' Adrian said, leaving the door he had been leaning on and coming at a leisurely pace into the room. 'What are you going to do, dear little wife, divorce me? Reject me? So that you can be together with your lover?''Adrian, you are despicable?' Andrew spat.Fearing this was going to lead to another fisticuff, Iris quickly intervened. 'Andrew, thank you for your support but right now, I'd like to be left alone with Adrian, if you don't mind'.'Are you sure about this?', he asked. 'Iris, he...''I am sure, Andrew', she said, looking at him imploringly. He opened his mouth to say something more but changed his mind and shutting his mouth, left the room.'What a touching scene', Alpha Adrian said. 'Is your lover planning on dethroning me so that he can take both my position as Alpha and my Luna?''What do you care?' she asked. 'Afterall, you have decided the pup in my womb
''Doctor', Adrian called, he was with Roxy. 'Are the rest results out?''That is the reason, I called you, Alpha', he said. 'The results show...''Wait a minute, doctor', Alpha Adrian said. 'I'd like for the result to be ready in front of the Luna!''Is that really a good idea?' the doctor asked, clearly uneasy and fidgety.'Are you questioning me?' Adrian asked.'No, my Alpha', he said hurriedly. 'Of course not! I wouldn't dare!''Good!' Adrian said, 'Now come let's go to my Luna! Roxy come along'.'Wouldn't miss it for the world!' she said and Adrian looked at her strangely. 'I mean, I'd want to know if my little sister has been faithful or if I was right to suspect her!' Roxy amended, quickly, thinking to herself that she'd better be careful. Adrian was a smart Alpha male.'Now, doctor', Adrian said, when they got to Iris' ward where she was trying to sleep but failing woefully because she was anxious for the test results to be ready so that she and Andrew vindicated. 'read the
'And you, Roxy', Andrew continued. I feel ashamed that you are related to this wonderful woman!''If you knew what she did, you would not be saying...' Roxy was saying but Andrew did not pay any attention to her.'Doctor Ricky', he continued, 'I have always held you in the highest esteem. 'Why did you do this?''Do what?' Roxy asked, getting scared. 'What are you talking about?' she asked very hurriedly.'Will you confess to your crimes or should I do it for you?' Andrew said looking at the doctor.'I do not know what you are talking about', Dr. Ricky said, turning back to go back to his room office.'Not so fast!' Andrew said pulling him back by tugging the helm of his lab coat.'You do not want to own up to what you did right', Andrew continued. Iris was not sure what was happening. Adrian was staring at his brother like he had lost it. Roxy was looking very scared but telling herself there was nothing to be scared about.'You speak of hard evidence but what evidence can be harder
Iris was still shocked at the turn of events. She could not thank Andrew enough.'You rescued me again!' she told him when Adrian finally left them alone. He was too embarrassed and ashamed to say anything other than. 'I'm sorry'.'It is the toxicity of our relationship working', Andrew smiled. 'I believe Adrian will be a better husband to you now', Andrew said wistfully.'Perhaps', she said simply.'Your love will grow to overflowing proportions now, won't it? With the baby on the way and all the misunderstanding resolved', he prophesied.'I don't know', she said thoughtfully.'What do you mean?' he asked.'Nothing. I am confused right now, Andrew and feeling drowsy', she said lying back on the bed for a well deserved rest. 'There is something I cannot wrap my hands around. How did you find out about Roxy and her plans?''I had left the hospital that day very angry with Adrian for treating you the way he does. As I left, I saw Roxy leave her bed to come eavesdrop in your ward. I hide
'I heard that you have made a baby with that daughter of a murderer who you call your wife!' Luna Selina said, looking at Adrian with disapproval.Adrian was not happy with what she had said but he could never raise his voice to his mother who had gone through so much in life, especially for him.'I only just found out that she is pregnant, myself', he said by way of explanation. 'Roxy, ried to frame her, thank goodness we found out early enough before I caused her any real harm!''Would it have been so bad if you had harmed her?' she asked.Adrian looked at his mother in shock. 'Did you hear what I said about her being pregnant with my child? I mean he's also your grand child!''No grandchild of mine will come from a murderer', she spat. 'I'd rather be without any. Make Roxy your Luna and breeder, let her bear your heirs'.Adrian looked down to hide the pained expression on his face.'Oh, I see how it is', his mother continued. 'You really love the girl, like I suspected and everyon
