LOGINFirst time they are not at each other's throats. I think that went well, all things considered.
Gerard POVSilja saying I’m her fiancé to her boss made me feel good. She struggled to say it though. It’s okay. I’ll gain her trust and make her see I’m not the asshole she thinks I am.My phone buzzed and it’s Trina texting me.[Trina: Hey babe! I miss you!][Gerard: I can’t talk right now, however, we need to have a serious conversation.][Trina: Is everything okay?][Gerard: I’ll call you tomorrow. Good night.]I’m going to settle everything with Trina. First, none of what happened today would have happened if she didn’t dismiss Silja’s guards three weeks ago. They would have intervened when Silja was being taken. Second, Silja is going to be my Luna and the mother of my pup. I need to draw a serious line in the sand with Trina now.‘FINALLY! THANK FUCK!’ Terk said happily in my head.I sighed inwardly. ‘Terk, I hope you know that I also feel like an asshole for doing this to Trina too. She doesn’t deserve it.’‘She dismissed Silja’s guards and Silja ended up kidnapped. Screw Trin
Silja POVI gave mom and dad and even Nolan a hug before I left the hospital with Gerard. I’m not really in a position to refuse help right now. The pup’s health comes first and that means I have to take care of myself. If Gerard says he is going to take care of me and give me the best doctors, then I would be stupid not to take him up on it. Even if it’s just so he can keep his heir healthy.‘Terk said he is doing it for you too. Not just the pup.’ Pau said.‘Yeah, right. I’m only doing this because I care about this pup. Even if I’m not ready to be a mom. Even if my dreams and goals are put on hold. None of it is going to matter now without my pup. Gerard will get to be a part of it, but that’s all.’‘Uh-huh. You are starting to soften towards Gerard. Admit it.’ Pau said.‘No.’ I said seriously. ‘He hasn’t earned my trust. But the next couple of weeks, he will have the opportunity. If he screws it up, then at least I’ll know, right?’I rode quietly with Gerard and we stop in front o
Gerard POVI braced myself as I went back into Silja’s room. She isn’t going to be happy about not working. It’s only temporary though.Before I walked in, I hear her talking to Romy. “Oh lover. What am I going to do?”I continue listening to the one-sided conversation because I can’t hear Romy.“I know, but a pup? I’m not ready to be a mom. I had so many things I wanted to do. Now everything is on ice. Gerard said he won’t stop me from working, but how can I trust him? Everything with us started with a lie and drunken night.”“Yeah, the last three weeks have been nice, but that’s only because he wanted to win me over so he wouldn’t lose his alpha position.”“No Romy, Just a little while ago he said, and I quote, ‘I’m not planning to make you my Luna just to reject you later. Not when there is a pup coming.’ I shouldn’t be surprised or disappointed, but I am.”“I know I sound like a broken record, but I wish I never went to that club. Never drank that drink. Never met Gerard and never
Gerard POVI’m about to be a father. Holy Moon Goddess! I’m about to be a father! My mind is suddenly in overdrive. Silja has agreed to be my Luna. Our pup won’t be illegitimate. I will become alpha of Night Crown. Things are looking up.My dad and Silja’s parents stepped outside for a few minutes to talk to the doctor and I was left alone with my mate.When I look over at Silja though, she has her hand on her stomach and she looks sad. Not just sad though. It’s another emotion I can’t describe. Seeing her like that was like throwing ice water on me. I reached for her hand. Feeling the electric jolts that does things to Terk and me. “Silja?”She looks at me and the light in her eyes is practically gone. She’s not happy at all. Is it because of me? Because of the pup? Or is it because of her accepting me as her alpha and mate? Is she regrets agreeing to being my Luna?I used to think that the mate bond would attract your mate to you and you would fall deeply in love. This thing betwee
Silja POVNo, no, no. I can’t be pregnant! I’m just starting to make a name for myself. We only had sex that one time. I don’t remember it, and now I’m having a pup too! Are you freaking kidding me, Moon Goddess!?Anything the doctor said after baby…I didn’t hear it. My head is spinning at the fact that I’m pregnant. I’m not ready to be a mom. I don’t even know what my future with this pup’s father is going to be yet. Oh, Goddess…am I going to end up as a single mom?“Silja. Breathe.” I heard in the distance. “Silja!”I snap out of it and come back to the present. I’m looking at everyone in the room and they are staring at me, concerned.“Silja are you okay? You stopped breathing.” Nolan asked.I shook my head. “I was kidnapped, knocked unconscious, and just found out I’m pregnant. I think my reaction, all things considered, shouldn’t be surprising, right?”Gerard smirked, “At least you still have your quick wit.”“I haven’t had any symptoms of pregnancy. No morning sickness, cravings
Gerard POVThat motherfucker Donovan took Silja. When I finally got to her, he was trying to force his mark on her. I came in right when she kneed that fucker in the balls and he hit her. Something protective came over me and I shifted and ripped his throat out. I’ll deal with the fall out over that later. I was within my rights. He kidnapped my mate, injured her and then tried to force his mark on her.I was pissed off when I found out that Trina dismissed the guards three weeks ago when she went to visit Silja. I didn’t even know it happened until I called them and they told me.“WHO SIGNS YOUR FUCKING CHECKS?! IT SURE AS HELL ISN’T TRINA! YOUR RIGHTFUL LUNA HAS BEEN TAKEN!” I snarled at them as I’m running out of the office. They are flanking each side of me. I call my father, “DAD! SILJA HAS BEEN TAKEN. I’M EN ROUTE TO GET HER!”“WHAT?!” He roared.“Trina dismissed the guards three weeks ago. I didn’t know!” I said.“Son of a bitch!” He growled. “Do you know where Silja is, Gerard
