Chapter 6

Levana's POV

"Come here darling." My aunt pulled me into her embrace.

I had come to find some peace and solitude and I knew I would definitely get it. I would soon forget Alessandro. It was only a matter of time. My Aunt would help me raise my child and it was definitely Alessandro's loss for losing someone like me. She pressed me into her warmth and I breathed an air of relief.

"It's okay. Stop crying about him, you'll definitely find someone better and besides I'm here for you. Anything you need just say darling." She took the box from the chair and moved into the house.

I also needed to tell her about my pregnancy but the fear of her judging me held me back. That has always been my biggest obstacle, I always feel like people would judge and blame whenever they hear my story. I mean, I was just judged and blamed for not having my wolf yet as if it was my fault. But I needed to come out pure and clean if I wanted help from anyone again.

"Aunt, there's one more thing. I- I'm pregnant." The words rolled out of my mouth painfully

"You're pregnant? How? Did you get a mate?"

"No. No, I didn't. I had a one night stand with my rejected mate. He slept with me before the rejection and I wanted to break the news to him then he rejected me."

"Ohhh. I'm so sorry dear." Her face paled.

She led me through the house and onto a familiar room. It had so many of my childhood pictures, my favourite Christmas tree still hung by the door. I remember how we used to come here to spend Christmas together. I looked around, reaching out to the beautiful portraits that hung on the wall.

"Ring a bell? Huh?" My aunt's voice behind me.

"Of course." I burst into laughter as I stared at a picture where I pouted my lips and ice cream dripped from my nose.

"I can't believe you Aunt. You've kept these pictures since then." I turned to face her.

"Of course, these are the only memories of you that we have. The time you came to spend the Christmas holiday."

"I still remember and I love it. Thank you."

My Aunt was such a sweet soul and that was one of the reasons why I was here. I knew I would feel loved and she would give me and my unborn child the motherly love and care that we deserve.

"Let me make something for you to eat Lev, make yourself comfortable." She dropped the box on the bed.

Of course memories of my childhood Christmas holiday filled my head, My Aunt's daughter Gabriella who is now married and used to be my best friend during my holidays here. Sometimes at the beach, park or even the golden castle. I cleaned the stay tears from my eyes and proceeded to change and have dinner.

I moved towards the dining table after changing into my night gown. I was feeling a bit weak and I knew it was because I hadn't eaten since I arrived. I was pregnant and I knew it came with a lot of symptoms and all.

"Hey Lev. How do you feel?" Michelle checked me out at the dining room.

"I feel good. Thank you Aunt." I gave her a weak smile.

"Uhm, I think we should visit a doctor and register you for anti-natal as soon as possible. How many months are you in?"

"Uhmm, it's not months but weeks. I think two weeks or so. It's not up to a month."

"Wow, that's good then because the earlier we visit a gynaecologist, the better for us. So get ready then, we'll be going to see a doctor by tomorrow morning. How does that sound?" I barely managed to answer before I saw Uncle Larson approaching us. He had just got back from work.

"Levana? Wow, such a pleasant surprise." He walked up to kiss his wife.

"Hey Uncle."

"How have you been dear?" He shot a broad smile.

"I have been fine. How was work?"

"Fine thank you." He disappeared into his room and My aunt came to remind me still about our antenatal visit tomorrow.

I wished them good night and retired to bed after eating dinner. Regret still filled my heart, regret of having to hide the truth from Alessandro. Regret of running away like a coward after being rejected. I closed my eyes and waited for sleep.

Knock. K ocm. Knock. A soft knock on the door woke me up. I answered the door with sleepy eyes and I saw my Aunt come in, she was fully dressed like she was heading somewhere this early.

"Hey, you're still sleeping? Come on go get dressed dear." Confusion itched my face.

"Good morning Aunt. Are we going somewhere?" I rubbed my sleepy eyes.

"Of course dear. I told you about the gynaecologist. Have you forgotten?" She reminded me.

I ran off to the bathroom, "I'm so sorry Aunt. I- I totally forgot."

I had been so tired from yesterday's whole activity that I didn't even remember about our hospital arrangement.

"Do you have something to wear? You can check Deborah's drawer." She told me.

"Thank you Aunt." This was exactly my fear because I brought a small box with me, and it contained very few clothes and my night wear.

Deborah and I are age mates and expect from the clothes that she was busty, we wore the same size in everything.

Soon, I was in a flay blue gown ready to go to the clinic and maybe tour the city with my Aunt.

"You look beautiful dear. And I could bet that you're expecting a girl just as beautiful as you." My heart leaped with joy at the thought of having a little me.

That would be a bigger blessing than even being mated to the highest Alpha. I would cherish and keep my seed till she/he was ripe for birth. Then watch her/him grow and be the best mother to her/him
