ABL 02: Nioz

“Where?” I whispered looking around my surroundings, where the hell am I? There were people behind the woman who was standing in front of me, they were seated as if they were part of a council of some sort.

“Nioz my child,” she said still smiling and my smile slowly grew as I stared at her, I chuckled and scratched my head.

“It’s either I am dead or I am dreaming, because I don’t know who you are and where I am,” I said and she shook her head smiling.

“You are in Nioz, a planet in a different realm than the one you’re from, Earth I believe it is called,” she explained and that had me convinced she was crazy. I laughed and clapped my hands.

“Did Frank break into my apartment and take me into an asylum because I was seeing black butterflies?” I asked the woman, she was wearing a red long dress that reached her feet, her black hair was tied in such an elegant manner that made me believe she had some supremacy aura coming from her. Her eyes were a light shade of purple, and her kind smile was relaxing but kind of freaking me out as well.

I am a black young woman who lives alone and has a fast mouth at times, so this is really freaking me the fuck out.

“I’m sorry, but I don’t know a Frank, and black butterflies you say? How often have you been seeing them?”

“Lady, the way you’re being so soft is scaring me. Who are you?” I asked, taking a step back and she smiled, giggling a bit.

“My apologies, my name is Nyleve Acula, I am-” loud footsteps rang across the hall

“Mother, why was I summoned?” I heard the voice I never thought I would hear again, well hoped I would but hell! “What is she doing here?” He asked as he pointed an accusing finger at me, I frowned and looked at him from the corner of my eye.

“That’s what we’re trying to figure out, asshole,” I said, crossing my arms over my chest. “Lady, this is your son?” I pointed to Miall and his growl literally vibrated the room, what the heck.

“She’s Luna Acula to you,” he roared and I stared at him.

“I don’t know her!” I replied. “And who do you think you’re talking to like that, you better watch your tone around me.”

“And you better watch yours around me too, you don’t know me,” he said dangerously low as he stared down at me.

“Who do you think you’re intimidating, just because we’re in front of your mother doesn’t mean I won’t beat your ass,” I said, stepping closer to him.

“I would love to see you try, human,” he said and I cocked my head to the side.

“What, like that word is supposed to make me feel weak? I will hurt you, don’t tempt me,” I said.

“Yes, you are weak,” he whispered and that’s when I noticed his canines protruding out of his mouth.

“MIALL!” His mother shouted as she clapped her hands at him.

“What the fuck?” I whispered trying to register what that was, his teeth shrunk back into his mouth and I was not about to let him feel like he won because he bared his teeth.

“What? Because your teeth can come out of your mouth makes you think I am scared of you? Fucking dog,” I whispered turning around to face his mother and he grabbed my arm so painfully I thought it was going to fall off.

“Miall she’s pregnant!”

“Huh/ What?” Our heads snapped to his mother. “Who’s pregnant?” I asked as I tried to pry myself away from his hold, but it got tighter and it felt like nails were digging into my arm. “Do you mind!?” I screamed at Miall and he let go.

“You are Amanah, you’re pregnant with Miall’s child,” she said, still smiling.

“Ahaha, no I’m not,” I shook my head.

“No she isn’t,” he said after me and I looked at him from the corner of my eye, was this the same man I wanted to have the whole friends with benefits thing with? Just him being here annoyed me and I really wanted to hurt him.

“Yes you are child,” she said walking closer to me. “You’re pregnant with my grandchild,” she said softly and I did the maths in my head. I haven’t had my period in at least five weeks, I dismissed that with the fact I’ve been under a lot of stress lately, I’ve been eating foods with kidneys, I loathe kidneys. The sudden sweet tooth I had.

“Oh God,” I whispered, covering my mouth. “I am pregnant,” I said as if I was confirming. “I’m pregnant.”

“Yes,” she said, wrapping her arms around my body. I was still in shock about the sudden revelation, how could I have not seen this, or suspected it? How ignorant am I? “Let me see your marking,” she whispered as she pulled away and I looked at her confused.

“Where he bit you when you were-” she waved her hands and I was embarrassed to say the least, normally, I wouldn’t feel embarrassed, but seeing how this woman was treating me made me feel shy.

“Oh! Here,” I touched my neck. I did think it was a bit weird that he bit me while he was climaxing, but it’s not as if I didn’t mind it.

“I didn’t mark her,” he said and his mother looked at him and he immediately kept quiet.

“You know in our pack, a female can only get pregnant if she’s marked during the interaction, you marked her, she became pregnant!”

“She could have slept with someone else after me, mother.”

“I am not some whore who sleeps with anyone, I didn’t sleep with anyone else after you,” I said angrily, I felt immensely disrespected.

“Then you were already pregnant when we slept together,” he accused and I was past my boiling point.

“You fucking dog! I haven’t slept with anyone besides you since I was raped when I was sixteen!” I burst out and looked away from him once I saw the pity settle in his eyes after hearing what I said. I crossed my arms over my chest and took a deep breath in. “Your mother says it’s yours and the facts say it’s yours, now stop provoking me.”

We sat in front of the ‘council’ and Nyleve sat right in the middle of the council, she still kept her kind smile. Miall sat next to me and his knees were knocking the table from underneath, and besides the fact that I was pissed, it did manage to make me laugh.

“Are you okay, Amanah?” Nyleve asked and I breathed out my laugh nodding.

“Yes, your son is a giant,” I said as I pushed the table forward so he could sit much more comfortably. “Stretch out your legs, idiot,” I whispered to him and he stared at me before slowly stretching out his legs with a satisfied sigh. “Sorry,” I apologised to the council that looked annoyed that I had interrupted their ‘briefing’.

“We may continue,” Nyleve said. Despite the fact that I had been here for a few hours, I hadn’t bothered to remember what I wore to bed, a simple very short black chemise nightgown that was higher than mid-thigh, I hated the stares I was receiving but there was nothing much I could do.

I placed my hands on my thighs to hide as much as I could but it was a wasted effort, maybe I shouldn’t have pushed away that table because Miall wasn’t comfortable, I was comfortable then but right now, all I wanted to do was curl up into a ball and hide, and it’s all because of the way that man keeps looking at me.

I saw the jacket being laid on my lap covering my legs, I looked over at Miall and I saw him taking off his shirt.

“Why are you taking off your clothes, Alpha?” the same man that was staring me up and down asked and Miall growled lowly as he put his shirt over my shoulder.

“The mother of my child is feeling cold,” he said glaring at the man and I smiled as I buttoned up his shirt, ooh this man smells really good.

“That doesn’t excuse the fact you are undressing in front of the councillors,” he said and I scoffed as I finished up.

“Pervert,” I whispered.

“Did you say something?” The man asked and I raised my head, cocking my head to the side.

“Did you hear me say something?” I questioned feeling my confidence coming back, hell, he really did make me feel that uncomfortable I felt inferior.

“Yes, I am quite sure I heard you whisper the word pervert.”

“Must be your personality since you’re hearing things,” I said smiling and he clenched his jaw, Miall chuckled.

“Human,” he growled and I scoffed.

“Luna Nyleve, you were saying?” I looked at her and she smiled back, seeming amused by the ordeal happening.

“Thank you Amanah, you will be required to stay here while you’re pregnant. Believe it or not, this is the first time an Alpha from our pack has impregnated a human who wasn’t his mate, so we need to take care of you and watch over your pregnancy.”

I understood what she was saying, and it sounded fair.

“Once you have given birth, you will return to Earth leaving behind the pup,” the pervert said and I shook my head.

“Unacceptable, my child goes where I go,” I said, crossing my arms over my chest. “And if you will be needing me to go back to Earth once I have given birth, my child will go back to Earth with me.”

“You won’t be able to raise the pup in your home grounds, especially with such power soaring through his veins!”

“Then if it’s a girl?” I asked and it seemed the question made them feel uncomfortable.

“Then you may leave with her.”

“I will also leave with him if it is a him. Regardless of gender, and power, my child stays with me,” I said, staring at the council and they looked surprised, while the ones who wanted to take my child from me looked furious

“You surely don’t think I would let you take my child away from me do you?” Miall asked and I looked at him.

“And you surely don’t think I would leave my child, do you?”

“Regardless of the decision the two of you come to by the end of this, Amanah, do you agree to stay here while pregnant?” Nyleve asked me and I shrugged my shoulders.

“I don’t mind at all,” I said smiling at her, I just want to spite Miall as much as I can. “Given the condition that if I want to go home, I will be allowed to go home when I want… and I am not taking no for an answer.”

Nyleve smiled and pointed to Miall. “Alpha, you have to answer,” Miall stared at me as if he was ready to say no, I raised my eyebrow and he sighed.

“Granted,” he mumbled and I smiled happily.

“Cool, is the meeting dismissed?” I asked, looking around the room.

“Yes, but aren’t you going to ask what we are?” Nyleve asked and I stood up still holding onto Miall’s jacket making sure it didn't fall.

“Werewolves no?” I answered and she smiled.

“Aren’t you scared?” She asked and I cocked my head to the side smiling.

“I’m hoping Alpha Miall wouldn’t let anything happen to the human woman who’s carrying his pup,” I used some of their words and she smiled looking both amused and impressed.

“Believe so, my child,” she has such a gentle nature it’s crazy, as for Miall, he really is something different.

“You don’t have to act so smart assed about it,” Miall said standing up and staring down at me.

“Don’t be an asshole if you want us to get along, it’s going to be a long nine months,” I whispered smiling and he smirked, why is he smirking?

“You’ll be pregnant for six.”

THE WOLF SAYS WHAT!?
