Alison POV“Why didn’t you just abort me?”I queried her,“You were all I had left. I couldn’t afford to lose you too. That’s why I kept you.”“Why am I using the surname of such a ruthless family? I don’t want it! I’m changing it to yours.” I began to lament as I developed a sudden hatred for my father’s side of the family.“It was to protect you. I knew that they were searching for me to make sure that I got rid of you as they told me to. They didn’t want anything about me to interfere with their son’s political career. I changed my last name to Quinn on your birth certificate because I knew they would search for me using my legal name. They will never think to search for me using their own name.” She explained.I get her reluctance to give out information about who my family was but I’m okay with what she has told me now, I will use the information I have now, to find out who they are. I just want to know them, so I will know who to stay away from.“I don’t want you to suffer the s
Alison’s POVI need my mom, I miss her so much. It’s in times like these that I wish she hadn’t betrayed me like she did. I called in sick and excused myself from work and reeled in pain in my bed, when I couldn’t take it anymore, I called my mother.It hurts that everyone else has hurt and abandoned me. Roberta was also giving me the cold shoulder, I needed someone and my mother was the only one I could think of.“Can you please come over? I’m sick.” I pleaded with her over the phone. She must have flown here because she arrived about 30 minutes after the call, and barged into my room.I don’t know what happened, but I burst into tears as soon as I saw her face. She trotted to my side, hugged me, and then quickly let go.“You’re so warm and your face… What's wrong? Let’s go to the hospital.” She said, packing up my stuff.“I’m pregnant…” I broke the news. She stopped packing immediately and froze for a few seconds. When she defrosted she slowly sat at the edge of the bed staring at
Alison’s POVI thought I was doing better till I saw Ralph again today at the lobby. To say that it messed me up was an understatement, my heart was shattered all over again. My anguish was far from over, I don’t know how I’m going to tell him that I’m carrying his child and from the way he looked at me it was as if he knew.Roberta saw me dash into the staff room and walked up to me,“Are you okay?” I shook my head, “Ralph was in the lobby.” She raised her eyebrows, and I could understand her astonishment. Ever since our relationship ended Ralph has never set foot here but today of all days he was here, it was one of the strangest coincidences ever. It was like fate had presented me with the opportunity to break the news to him.“I think this is your best opportunity to break the news to him! Don’t tell me you didn’t…”She looked horrified as I shook my head,“You said he blocked all access to him and now you had the perfect opportunity and still didn’t take it!” She stopped ramblin
Ralph’s POVToday Alison smells so wolfish, is it only me? Or do other wolves perceive this smell too? I had questions so I stayed close to Melody in the home spa and observed as Alison massaged her, from her reactions and how relaxed she was it was obvious that she hadn’t noticed the change in Alison’s natural scent. Perhaps I was the only one perceiving it.When they went downstairs, I observed as Iris spoke to Alison and her friend. She also acted normally. When she came up to me, she didn’t mention anything about Alison, so I concluded that she also didn’t perceive it. I decided to let it go and focus on my work, but occasionally, that singular incident lingered on in my memory.About a week and a half later, I was fishing. The water was so clear that I could see my target. I lowered my bait into the river, and just as I thought, this fish caught the hook. However, when I drew my hook out of the water, there was no fish at the end of my hook. It was a pup, a beautiful brown pup! W
Alison’s POVAs we left for my apartment, I felt deflated. I kept thinking about what I was going to do. It wasn’t part of my plans to get pregnant at this point in my life but no matter how I look at it, an abortion isn’t for me, my mom kept me so I don’t see myself terminating mine. But still, I don’t think I can do this, especially with Ralph out of my life. What am I going to do?“So… what are you going to do now? Will you inform Vandyke?” Roberta asked. I sighed heavily. “He will think it was intentional, he will think that I planned this from the start and he will hate me even more,” I replied.“Don’t assume on his behalf, give him the chance to decide what his reaction will be.” Roberta scolded me.“How? He doesn’t answer my calls, and I can’t go to Moonlight County, how am I going to reach him? We are from two different worlds, there’s no way I will randomly run into him down the streets.” I rambled.“You know the way to his office?” Roberta reminded me.“When we broke up, I
Alison’s POVI had successfully done a week without crying because I have Roberta by my side, though I was secretly hoping that Ralph would reach out, he hasn’t but that’s okay, I have new hobbies and Roberta to talk to and keep me company. Today we have a day off so we decided to go to the beach and relax. I woke up when Roberta was still sleeping and tried to slip out of bed and take a shower, but I suddenly got crippled with excruciating pain in my waist.It was sharp as if I had been cut with a knife. I shut my eyes tightly, unable to scream, the pain moved swiftly to my abdomen, and then I felt something wet between my thighs. I touched and stared at my fingers wondering why it was red. Why am I bleeding? Why can’t I get up? Am I dying? Have I been poisoned?The pain in my waist worsened until I yelped in pain, Roberta opened her eyes and stared at me.“What’s wrong?”“My waist… my abdomen. I’ve never felt this kind of pain before, “ I cried.“Do you have dysmenorrhea?” she asked
