Chapter 3

Levana POV

Tears brimmed in my eyes as I stared at the two lines on the pregnant test slip. My period had always come in on time but when it didn't, I decided to know what was wrong, so I bought this pregnancy test slip. 

I was pregnant. That was what it meant but how will I deliver this news to the Alpha now? It's been two weeks since that night of wild passion between us, and within those two weeks, he had not spoken a word concerning it. 

I had thought he was shy, that maybe he would come around so that gave me hope. And that day he had rescued me from Dante, I wanted to let him know that we were mates but could I? 

He knew I had no wolf and would think I was planning to stick to him like a clove. So I had pushed the thought to the back of my mind, pretending that everything was fine. 

I sniffed my nose and picked my phone from where it sat on the bed. I dialed the number of the one person who could cheer me up right now. 

“How're you? It's been so long since you called me like this.” Came Sarah's voice. I had met her when I was four and since then, we have stuck together. She was in fact the only friend who didn't judge me or laugh at me over my predicament up to date. She has never treated me like I was inferior to her…more like a sister instead. 

“No, I'm not. Can you come over to my apartment please?” I pleaded. She hummed in response before I cut the call. 

Within five minutes, she arrived and I walked over to the door and let her in. She took in my appearance before pulling me for a bear hug. 

“What's wrong, baby?” She patted my back and led us to my bed. She sat me down, her hand still wrapped around me. 

I quickly told her all that happened, excluding Alpha Alessandro from it. I trusted her enough to keep my secret but I still thought letting her know after I had told the Alpha that we were mates was the best decision. 

“Call him and let him know.” She suddenly said, causing me to look up at her. 

“How can I—”

She cut me shut with a slap on my head, “How can you not? Listen babe, you need to let this man know that you are carrying his baby. Besides, it's not as if he's a stranger. You both are mates and I expected you to have informed him about it first.”

I pulled out of her embrace, eyes widening at her words. “No, I can't. What if he thinks I'm trying to pin him down with a child? He doesn't know we are mates yet, so going to him and informing him that we are and with this baby too, he would assume the worst and that's one thing that I'm scared about.” I whisper yelled. 

“Then you should wait until the night of the blood moon to tell him about it.” She suggested, and I realized that she had a point. Maybe I had been overthinking all these things for a while…

“It's in two weeks from now, so I shall come over and help you prepare. I can't wait to see who your mate is. You have really suffered and now he's gonna shoulder all your responsibilities and protect you from everyone else.” She said with a smile, her eyes glinting with the hope that I needed. 

I was at a loss of words of what to say to her. Instead, I hugged her tightly and she squeezed my shoulders. “Thank you so much. You are the best friend one could ever ask for.” I whispered with a pout. 

Sarah giggled and let go of me. “You don't need to thank me for anything. What are friends for?” Tears filled my eyes once again, seeing how much she really cared for me. She was the best thing that has ever happened to me, and I wanted it to remain that way. 

We discussed other things like the new boy she was seeing before she finally left for her house.

The day of the blood moon finally arrived, and I happily watched the activities of the pack from my room. Being the daughter of the former gamma gave the privilege to live in the pack house. 

All the omegas were busy and I thought of going to help them out when I remembered who I was to them. 

Soon people started to troop in and I knew other Alphas of different packs would be coming as well. As the Alpha of Alpha himself, every year the Alpha organized a party in the pack so that everyone could attend. 

Many unmated girls found their mates that day, so I knew that Alpha Alessandro would be able to perceive me as his mate today. 

Just as the thought of dialing Sarah's number to let her know that I was still waiting for her, I heard a knock so I quickly went and let her in. 

Sarah was dressed in a short fitted dress that hugged her body to perfection. Her blonde hair was plaited in a bun style, making her look five years younger than she was. 

I gulped. She was really beautiful. Whoever is her mate would be so happy seeing her in that dress. 

“I'm gorgeous, right?” She twirled around, and I scoffed playfully. “No need to get jealous babe. I'm here to make you look hotter than I am, so that your mate wouldn't tear his gaze from you.”

The thought of Alpha Alessandro thinking I was hot made my panties soak with my cream. Scarlet washed over my face and I immediately looked away from my friend. 

“See how you are blushing at the mention of your mate. Goddess alone knows who this man you are hiding from your best friend is.” She closed the door and started walking away, leaving me standing at the door. 

“That's not the case and you know that.” I pouted playfully and ran towards her. She gave me a long look and sighed. 

“Oh, I know alright. I was only teasing you. As long as you will let me know who this mysterious man is tonight, then I'm cool with it.” I looked at her with tears in my eyes. That was why I loved her. She was so understanding and I knew not to lose a friend like her.
