DAMIAN
āI can smell my pupā I said as I entered the doctorās office. Of course, I can feel my pup near. Before entering the doctorās office, Alaric had alerted me beforehand that he could smell our pup near but I donāt take it serious because I really have doubts about my swimmers working. I had initially thought that I might never be able to have a child in this life firstly because few werewolves do opt for artificial insemination which will probably make it hard to find a surrogate. Entering the doctorās office and smelling my pup is quiet surprising. "Your pup?" The male doctor was the first to ask after a brief silence. I raised my eyebrows, āDid you expect me to be delusional at my age?ā I quipped angrily. As I quipped, my eyes landed on the woman staring at me that sitting in front of the doctor. Suddenly, that awful human woman mixed with another scent that I canāt identify find its way into my nose. āWhat is this Damian? Why did she had different scents?ā Alaric growled. I also wonder why. This woman smelt more human than werewolf making her scent more awful to my nose. But waitā¦.. my pupā¦.. this woman with an awful smell is carrying my precious pup? I looked at the two doctorās face with surprise, āDoctor, donāt tell me this woman is the one carrying my pup?ā She looled at me more intently, āExcuse me?ā āEm⦠Mr Moon we can explain, actually there is a mixā¦ā¦ā the female doctor was about to explain but the awfully smelling woman interrupted with the way she banged her hand on the table making all of us look at her abruptly. She faced the female doctorā¦. āDr Lena tell me what on earth is happening here? You asked me to come with you, tell me what the problem is?ā She demanded angrily as her eyes released nothing but fiery sparks of anger. āOh, sheās a tough one, Interesting!ā Alaric commented. This is not funny. I was actually desperate for a heir and my fiancĆ© whom I was expecting to give me one cheated with my rival now the surrogate for my pup is now this awfully smelling woman? No. I looked at the doctor again, āTell me what is happening doctor?ā āThis is a mistake from my side Mr Moonā The female doctor she called Dr Lena continued and I nodded for to continue. āMr Moon, actually because of how much people that came for insemination were that day, Iā¦. I mistakenly inseminated Miss Gloria here withā¦.ā She fidgeted, āWith your sample soā¦.ā āNo⦠Dr Lena tell me that you made a mistake againā The awfully smelling lady, stood up with fright and trance-like look and asked the doctor. "What are you talking about?" She questioned again almost yelling at the doctor this time. I stood there observing the lady. He face held nothing but panic now as she now calmed down. āMany women would have been happy to be the mother of your pup why is she looking so down?ā Alaric questioned but I shrugged. I donāt know if I should be happy or not because what I needed the most now was a heir or a Luna. I had given up all hopes of having one but here, this awfully smelling woman is carrying the pup that I wanted earnestly and she doesnāt look anything happy about it which made me more sceptical. My phone vibrated in my pocket and I checked immediately, it was Luca informing me that Veronica is waiting for me. I frowned at this message but pocketed my phone immediately. āI am so sorry Miss Gloria but the deed is done, I will glady accepy any punishment from you twoā The female doctor tried to pacify her by placing a hand on her shoulder but she yanked her hand away immdiately with anger. āDonāt tell me sorry Dr Lena! How did you expect me to poop in peace with this werewolf baby inside of me?ā She now looked very sad and pissed. I only crossed my arms and watch her rant, āThat bastard aborted my normal human baby and now I am carrying a werewolf? the same beasts that murdered my parents? Dr Lena are you drunk when you are doing it?ā The poor female doctor could only bow her head in shame and let the lady abuse her all she wanted. āI refuse to be a werewolfās babyās mother! I wonāt accept this Dr Lena say something!!ā She yelled this time. āI am sorryā The doctor apologized again. She slumped back to the chair and cried again, this time she looked so dishevelled and sad indeed. āHow should I face my parents in heaven after I die? Do I tell them that the same werewolves that killed them was the father of my child?ā "Then abort the werewolf child!" I suddenly growled with infuriation. Hearing her swearing about werewolves makes my blood boil. "Don't pretend like you are not happy that you will be carrying the pup of the most richest werewolf in the country Miss Gloria! Abort my pup if you really hate my kindā The two doctorās really looked very flustered by now. They looked at each other and then at me and at the lady. āWhy are they acting weird?ā Alaric questioned. āI canāt say. But I canāt let some random human from nowhere carry my pupā I replied telepatically. The lady faced the doctor now, āWill your hospital take the responsibility if I become barren? Or have you forgotten my story?ā Before I can stop myself, I burst out into laughter. "Is this an excuse to carry my pup? If you canāt abort it then keep quiet and accept your fateā Tears rushed from her face immediately is as I said this. But I donāt care whatever she might be passing through. Badmouthing my kind and refusing to abort my pup shows that she clearly wants the child. āMy baby is not a werewolf!ā She suddenly looked determined. āMy baby is not some beast! If thereās nothing else, I beg to leave!ā In the next moment she was on her feet ready to leave. āDamian stop her, sheās leaving with our pup!ā Alaric sound very urgent and concerned. āLet her go Alaric, Iām sure sheās going to abort the baby but sheās trying to act all brave and smartā I watched her leave the doctorās office. I made no movement but let her leave. After sheās gone, the two doctorās got on their feet and faced me with action and fear, āMr Moon, weā¦..ā āI donāt want to hear any explanations! But prepare to be jobless if that lady acts funnyā I quipped and they both bowed again. I made to exit the room but stopped at the door and looked back, āSend me every details you have on that ladyā āits.. privateā¦ā I shot the female doctor a glance but the male quickly stuttered, āNo, Not Private Mr Moon, I will have it sent to your emailā Without any words, I left the office. ~~~ āDamian baby.ā¦. where have you been all these while? You were unreachable for the past two weeksā Veronica cooed as soon as I entered the reception of my company. The employees in my way bowed towards me and I stopped when I saw Veronica walking like a peacock towards me. āSee that slut. She even disgusts me more than that womanās awful smellā Alaric said in disgust. Seeing her act all innocent, makes my blood boil . Since that day, I havenāt contacted her and she hasnāt reached out to me. Recollecting her riding Brianās dick day made me want to rush to her and tear her apart but of course, I am a gentle man and not a bad and ruthless person like rumours said and the felling I had for herā¦ā¦so I kept my cool. I pocketed my hand and waited. As she she got closer, she made to jump on me like she always does but I quickkly dodged her. āWhat happened? Why did you dodge me?ā She looked so surprised because if it was before, I would have hugged her so tight. āWhy are you here?ā I asked with a cold tone that match the anger and disgust I was feeling for her. Veronica was more surprised, āWhat are you saying? We haven't see each other for two weeks straight and you are asking me why I am here? Damian what came over you?ā WTFā¦ā¦ Anger surged even more from me with this question she asked which made me yell at her. āGet the fuck out of here Veronica!ā āDamian whatā¦.ā She was about to ask but I stopped her as I raised my hand to stop her. āVeronica please!ā I quipped and pocketed my hand again and proceeded towards my office. āAlpha! Alpha we have a problem!ā Luca called as he rushed to me while Veronica was still standing there looking very shocked. āWhat happened?ā āThe doctor just sent you an email and ā¦.ā I cut him short as I snatched the tablet from him. I read the contents that was sent to me by the doctor, it was the womanās profile. āAlpha, sheās Gabriel Ferguson's wifeā Luca informed as I was still reading. I looked up. āGabriel Ferguson who?ā āThe project managerā I hummed and looked at her profile again. She was my employeeās wife but waitā¦ā¦ Her husband fed her abortion pills? She has only one chance to conceive? She just lost her job? Sheās not human and Sheās not a wolf? I scrolled the medical profile further and read the doctorās report about how she was ignorant of her own originality. A woman that is neither a human or werewolf, and yet has such awful smellā¦ā¦ Regardless of Veronica that was still standing, I tossed the tablet back to Luca, āBring that woman to me immediately!āGLORIA'S POV We donāt spend very long in the bath.As soon as Iām fed and clean, Sinclair takes me to my nest and lays me out like his own personal feast, and he wastes no time in ravishing me.Iāve never been frightened of Sinclair. Not at his wildest or grouchiest, not even when heās on the warpath against others, or assailing me with the full force of his magic. If anything, itās been an incredible turn on to know that I can call such a powerful man my own, that Iām the sole soft spot in his impenetrable armor.But when he makes love to me now, I feel afraid. Not for myself ā never that ā but for the feral energy I can sense swirling through his body. His wolf is in full control and heās near rabid with desire ā ruthless in his affection. He isnāt gentle, nor would I ask him to be. I love his rough passion and savage intensity: the way he makes me feel as if Iām the only woman in the world and heāll die if he doesnāt have me this instant; the way he drives into me with reckless ab
GLORIA āFour broken ribs.ā The doctor assesses grimly, āand with all the exercise youāve done since the initial brakes, they havenāt been able to set or heal. I have an injection I can give you to fuse the bones quickly, but itās painful, and we still need to set them first.āāWhat about his other injuries?ā Henry inquires anxiously, seated on the other side of me.āIāll do a scan to assess the exact placement of his ribs, and I can extend it to the rest of his abdomen to rule out internal injuries. I donāt see anything else of concern.ā The doctor shares with much more optimism.āHeās got a good size lump on the back of his head.ā I inform the physician, still running my hands through Damianās hair.āThen you two will match.ā V interjects, reminding us all of the way I headbutted his chin in my attempts to reach Damian. āWhen youāre done with him, you ought to check her for a concussion.āāI hardly think thatās necessary.ā I complain, reaching back to see if the area is tender, then
AUTHOR POV As soon as Damian left Luca and Dr Lucy alone, the human turned towards the door, determined to flee. Theyād talked about the mating ceremony for the better part of an hour, but as soon as they finished making their plans, Dr Lucy made a break for it.Before her hand could touch the door knob however, Lucaās voice stopped her in her tracks. āOh so youāre back to ignoring me, are you?āDr Lucy stiffened, turning back to the newly-minted Beta. āYou got my sympathy when your brother was dead, but now that we know Dominic is alive, I donāt see any reason to pretend.ā She answered with a shrug, trying to push away the memory of having the huge wolfās arms around her. Of course, that was much easier said than done ā her mind was already carrying her back to that emotional night, and it was nearly impossible to forget the way her heart had raced when he touched her.Lucaās tears gradually slowed as Dr Lucy held him, breathing in her delicate scent and letting her gentle touch tam
GLORIA'S POV When I wake Iām in my nest, hooked up to about a dozen machines and wracking my brains for some explanation of how I got here. Of course⦠the moment my memory kicks in, I wish it hadnāt. My wolf howls in my head, but I shut out the tumultuous emotions threatening to consume me. It might not be healthy, but if thereās one thing Iām good at ā itās repressing feelings.I clench my eyes shut. āItās not real, itās not real.ā I insist to the empty room, reflexively tracing the outline of my womb. āAre you alright, little one?ā I squeak, wondering if my pain is about to multiply by a million.The baby flutters and sends feelings of sleepy confusion through our bond, and the tightness in my heart eases a bit. Heās okay. I tell my whining wolf, but we both know sheās not just worried for the babyās sake.Theyāre both okay. My wolf assures me, sounding surprisingly confident for all her nervous whimpering. I donāt care what anyone says. We would feel it if he was gone. I would fe
DAMIAN'S POV āWhere are you now?ā Gloria asks, her beautiful face looking up at me from my phone screen.āWeāre headed to the Storm Forest pack, but weāve got quite a few hours on the road before we get there.ā I sigh, wishing we hadnāt needed Gabrielās planes for the refugees, so that we might have flown these long distances.āStorm Forest.ā Gloria murmurs, her eyes lighting up, āDoes that mean youāre going to get to see some trees at last?āChuckling, I turn my phone towards the window, so she can see the rolling salt flats flying by in the distance. āNo, unfortunately they chose their name to honor the ancestral lands they left before coming to the hidden territories. Iām afraid that the only trees here are the ones planted in Gabrielās gardens.āGloriaās face falls, and her lips form an adorable pout, just begging to be kissed. āI donāt know how they can stand it.āāMy poor little forest wolf.ā I purr in sympathy, āour dream forest isnāt enough, is it?āShe shakes her head. āItās
GLORIA'S POV After shopping with Lena and napping away the afternoon with the pups in the nursery, I find my way to Edwardās rooms. The guards told me he just returned from the refugee camp, but when he opens the door for me heās all smiles. I give him a hug and a kiss on the cheek, and he welcomes me in. āYou wouldnāt happen to be in the mood for an afternoon snack, would you?ā He inquires knowingly. āBecause personally Iām starving.āIām fairly certain this is a plot to make sure Iām feeding myself well, but my stomach growls loudly as I find a seat on the couch. Still, I try to sound demure as I shrug, āI could eat.āEdward laughs before calling down to the kitchens and ordering a small feast. As we eat he tells me all about his day at the refugee camp and I, in turn, share my frustration with my sudden celebrity and Lenaās news about Roger. He can only shake his head. āThat boy has made some bad choices in his life, but Iāve been very proud of him these last few months. I never t
