chapter 002

Watching the damn pregnancy test for the humpteeth time, I don't know if I should cry or scream with joy. 

I am pregnant. 

But how? 

We only did it once! 

It was a mistake, or so he called it. 

Noah was fucking drunk that night when he came knocking on my door. 

After turning eighteen, I found out that he was my mate, just like I had prayed. 

I was over the moon but he didn't share the same excitement. 

He even warned me not to breathe a word about the news of being mates to anyone. 

I did as he instructed, hoping that he would come to wrap his mind around the fact that I was his fated mate and accept me. 

When he arrived at my doorstep reeking of alcohol, I welcomed him. 

When he kissed me Possessive, I kissed him back and when he spread my legs and settled between them, I spread them wider for him, granting him access to my treasure. 

Noah made love passionately to me that night but the next morning, my heart was shattered into a million pieces by his words. 

I had tried hugging him only for him to push me away so hard that I landed butt first on the floor. 

It's like my touch disgusted him. 

“ What happened here?” That was the first question he blurted out as he glared at me with undisguised hatred. 

I had tried explaining what transpired between us and how he ended up on my bed only to be cut off harshly. 

“ Shut up! This is a mistake, it's all a mistake!” He said before leaving the room. 

The days that followed, I didn't see Noah. I didn't even leave my room. I was too broken to face the world. 

It took me weeks to pull myself together and now with this, how was I going to live with this?

A pregnant Omega without a mate? That would warrant me the  title of “the pack's whore”

That's what they call an unmated pregnant women. 

It's funny how only the female has to bear the brunt of the society's wrath when the males get to wash their hands clean of such dirty titles. 

It takes two to make a baby, obviously, a dick doesn't trip and slide inside a vagina. The two parties involved should take responsibility yet this heavy weight falls on the females. 

Born and raised by a “ Pack whore” I know what life is like and honestly, it's the last thing I want for my child. 

I will never let my child grow in such a situation. 

I have two options, either leave this place, go to a far away place and raise my child on my own because there's no way in hell I am getting rid of my baby.

The other option is to approach Noah and let him know about my pregnancy. 

He is his own flesh and blood and the heir to this pack. I doubt that he would discard his own child. 

Choosing the second option, I hopped to the shower and took time cleaning my heart. 

I would be lying if I said I wasn't nervous. 

Heck, I was scared of the reaction I'll get from my mate but I knew that I had to be courageous. 

The future of my child depends on this. 

As his mother, I had to swallow my pride and approach Noah. 

“ What if he gets rid of the child or even both of us?” My wolf, melody, asked. I could feel her hesitation and fear through the bond. 

For weeks, she had not talked to me. After Noah left our room that morning, she too walked away from me and no matter how I called her, she never responded and I figured out that she was hurt by his rejection. 

Our human sides have less attachment than our wolves and even the slightest sign of rejection from one's mate can really break them. 

“ I don't think he is capable of that. “ I defended him but the tremble in my voice said I wasn't so sure anymore. 

“ He rejected us, remember? He doesn't want us.” Melody blurted out the bitter truth and my heart squeezed. 

As much as I didn't want to hear those words, it was the truth. 

He didn't want us or why else would he treat us worse than animals? 

“ We have to at least try.” I insisted. 

Melody didn't say another word and I believed she agreed with me or just didn't want to persuade me anymore. 

It was mid morning when I stepped out of my cottage and headed to the packhouse. 

Being an omega and the daughter of a pack whore, we weren't allowed to live in the pack house. 

The packhouse was unusually quiet, making me furrow my brows in confusion. 

Walking down the pathway, I came across a maid who was heading towards the meeting Hall in a hurry. 

“ Where is everyone?” I blurted out,  curiosity and concern evident on my face. 

“ Didn't you hear?” She asked, looking at me like I was an alien among humans. 

“ Hear about what?” I asked, confused even more. I had stayed away from the pack for weeks and rarely interacted with people therefore, I knew nothing about the things happening in the pack. 

“ The Alpha will be making an important announcement today. I heard that he found his mate and would probably introduce her to the pack today.” The maid informed me before walking away murmuring about how she didn't want to miss the announcement. 

My brain suddenly felt clogged and my heart was sent into a turmoil. 

The alpha found his mate and would probably introduce her? 

Did that mean that Noah finally acknowledged me as his mate? 

But why didn't he inform me about his plans?

Was he planning to surprise me? 

With that thought, I raced to the meeting hall, my heart leaping with joy only to crash the moment I stepped inside the hall. 

“ I want to present to you my mate and Luna of this pack, Serena Williams.”
