GLORIA’S POV
"Pup." I say, feeling my stomach churn uncomfortably, "like... four legs and a tail? My baby is really a werewolf” I said again as the words sank in my brain even further.
He wasn’t lying, the baby is his. But why? Why did he give semen samples when many ladies would be dying to carry his child
“This child means a lot to me than it is for you Gloria, accept it or not, this pup… I mean child and you stands at great risk of being killed by other werewolves if you don’t abort it or stay with me” He replied my inner questions and I looked up at him.
"Why? Why can’t I raise this child alone" I question, more subued and now used to this man beside me. "Are there no werewolf single mothers?"
"There is , but in your case, you can’t be a singel mother” He explains, leaning back in his chair but never taking his eyes off me. But the fear of the green eyes is no longer strong as before. In fact, I think I find these eyes beautiful. “I am an Alpha touched by the goddess, I was competing to be the Alpha King of my pack alongside a cousin, one of the criterias of being an Alpha King is to have a Luna and a pup. Now tell me, did you think my haters will be happy to see my pup?” He ended his explanation with a question.
Even though I find it hard to understand all that he just say, I just felt too caught up under his scrutiny so I yawned, feigning tiredness, “So in one word, in your park or pack or whatever, you are a politician and to be a king, you need a pup and your rivals could have your pup killed if they find out so you wont be the king anymore?”
"You’re a teacher indeed, that is the simple explanation" He confirms.
I sighed heavily, such a long talking for a simple explanation. “So.. Luna, goddess or whatever, what are those? And if I hid this baby, and raise him as human, will he still be killed?”
Damian adjusted himself in a dignified mannerism, “Luna is like a queen in the human’s world and moon gooddess, that is our own God, so know what you say”
I scoffed and looked the other way with a smirk. I must say werewolves are reallly interesting, back in the days when I was in school, I do have classmates that are werewolves but I nevre have anythign to do with them.
“So what did you suggest we do about this baby?” He stares pointedly at my belly.
"This baby is mine" I tell him possessively and held covered my stomach. “I am still saying it, I will never let this my child grow up as a wolf!”
“And you cant drain my blood that’s running in his veins?” He said with a mocking smirk that made me looked at him with hatred.
With that being said, his phone rang and he excused himself to take the call.
“Can’t you tell that I’m busy at this moment?” I heard him ask the caller.
Well, I’m not interested in his phone calls, my eyes caught the wall clock in the room and damn! Its 7pm.
I scurried up to leave, I can’t pass the night with this green eyes Damian?
“Did you catch him red-handed taking the flier down?” I heard him ask again.
“Kill him and burn his body without anyone knowing”
Hearing this sparked anger inside of me, Did he just say they should kill someone and burn his body? What the fuck is this beast capable of doing?
When he ended the call, I quickly looked away so he wont catch me looking.
I smiled at him awkawdly, “So Mr Moon, don’t you think you should leave so I can reast now?’
“I don’t plan on staying with you much longer too, take care of yourself, I will be back by tommorrow” His reply wa suave, I only scoffed and watched him leave without saying anything else.
~~~
Some hours before midnight when I was sure that he’s gone, he quietly left the hospital and met myself in the middle of a beautiful environment that looks like an estate.
Even though its midnight, its hard to see anywhere dark. I can’t help but gasp with admiration as I continued to walked towards where seems to be the entrance.
I have to leave with my child, I can’t let one wolf use it as a bait of winning one motherfucking election.
As I continued to walk without seeing anyone in sight, I got to a lush forest that was filled with nothing but woods, who knows if this is the entrance.
I just kept walking without trying to look back. I must escape as fast as I can.
Suddenly, I heard some rustling of leaves come after me, as if a wolf was walking over dreid leaves. Without any sage to predict, I can tell that a wolf is probably coming after me.
I held my breathe with worry and continued walking trying not to make a sound.
Suddenly, I heard the wolf increased it’s pace which gat me running breathlessly and as I decided to turn into a corner that seems to lead to a open space, I stepped on wet leaves and fell.
Before I could try to move any limbs, what I saw in front of me was siloutte of two creatures before me.
Looking up, then I saw them, Looking all ferocious and angry. One was black and the other was tri-coloured.
Without any ado, I can tell that I’m in danger.
Suddenly, as if I was dreaming, the two of them changed into humans and I cant help the squel that escaped my mouth. They are werewolves indeed.
The one with black furs is now dressed in balck suit, his expression looking very mean and angry.
He walked towards me with queit stpes and I waited trying to swallow my fears.
“Why are you with Damian Moon?”
GLORIA'S POV After shopping with Dr Lucy and napping away the afternoon with the pups in the nursery, I find my way to Edward’s rooms. The guards told me he just returned from the refugee camp, but when he opens the door for me he’s all smiles. I give him a hug and a kiss on the cheek, and he welcomes me in. “You wouldn’t happen to be in the mood for an afternoon snack, would you?” He inquires knowingly. “Because personally I’m starving.”I’m fairly certain this is a plot to make sure I’m 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, “I could eat.”Edward 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 Dr Lucy’s news about Brian. He can only shake his head. “That boy has made some bad choices in his life, but I’ve been very proud of him these last few months.
GLORIA'S POV If I thought the world was going to look different waking up as a Luna, I was wrong. Everything is the same, even though I feel like an entirely different person than I was yesterday. I suppose I should be getting used to having my entire identity and sense of self turned upside down and inside out, but it never seems to get any easier. If anything it just becomes more confusing. I still can’t believe that I know who my parents are… that my father likely killed Damian’s mother… that my own mother is out there somewhere. Frankly I can’t even contemplate the Goddess’s role in all this, it’s difficult enough being a princess without also being some sort of demi god.Above all else, I can’t wait until Damian is home next week. Yes, we’ll be preoccupied with the summit, but with everything that’s happening right now I simply don’t feel steady without him. I need my mate, and I know he’s just as anxious being away. He would barely release me from our dream date last night,
GLORIA When I wake up the next morning, I feel better rested than I have in weeks. For the first time since I started hypnosis, V hasn’t had to charge in during the middle of the night to wake me from my night terrors. Simply being able to connect with my mate did wonders for my state of mind, and even though our lovemaking was reserved for our dreams, my body is sated and satisfied.Even though I just saw Damian, my heart leaps when my phone rings a moment later, and I pull the device from it’s charger. “Good morning my love.” I greet him, beaming.“Good morning, gorgeous.” His handsome face fills the screen, still drowsy from sleep. “How are you feeling?”“A thousand times better.” I admit, because not only did he save me from my nightmares, but the weight of my lies are finally off my shoulders. I run my hand over my belly, checking in with our pup.Rafe is happy too, he’s been missing you as much as I have”“I’m glad you’re both feeling better,” He rumbles, ” though I have to tel
GLORIA'S POV “What do you mean, it was a memory?” Damian asks carefully. “I thought the priests came to you in the orphanage? I don’t remember anything about humans attacking you in the woods.”I stare at my lap, cradling my belly and trying to figure out how to explain my deceit. I knew this conversation was inevitable -I even prepared for it, but these are not the circ.umstances I expected. I didn’t imagine I would be so emotionally fragile, or that Damian would be wrapped around me purring, fresh off of rescuing me from a traumatic nightmare. I thought I would be able to present my case and apologize, acknowledging my wrong doing with confidence and strength of conviction.Now I fear it’s going to tumble out as a mess of excuses and tangled feelings.“Gloria?” Damian presses, his voice taking on a dominant tone.When I finally look up at him, tears pour from my lashes. “Ive still been doing the hypnosis.” I confess, my l!ps quivering with every word. “I went behind your back and c
DAMIAN'S POV When I arrive in the dream forest, I’m alone – as I have been almost every night since I left.However, rather than calling for my mate as I usually do, by picturing her in my mind and willing her to come to me with the sheer force of my longing and determination, I send my power outward. I unleash the full force of my magic, spreading it as far and wide as I can, searching every inch of this enchanted plane of existence. It rolls off of me like a dense fog, ebbing past the limits of my own consciousness to delve through the mating bond and track Gloria.Dreams are strange this way: both closer to and more distant from reality, so that our souls can join when the Goddess’s power is at its peak, even as doors to fantastical and surreal worlds swing wide. I don’t know where my mate is, but as long as she is also in the realm of dreams, I know I can find her.It isn’t easy. It takes what feels like hours to finally sense her presence, to detect her heartbeat across the vast
DAMIAN'S POV We left the elders place and three days later, I had to go and see Grandpa with Brian and Gloria said she's going back to that Magical Castle with Edward.These days, I haven't heard anything about grandpa from Victoria and this got me wondering what she was up to because as long as I know Victoria, she never backs off that easily. Even though, Evelyn left, I could still sense her scent from Brian everytime we meet and these days that he wasn't bugging me, I'm sure he's up to something with her too.But deep down I really wished they get together because they seems to have the perfect vibe for each other. “I’m worried about Gloria.” I confess, pushing away my dinner. I was at his house after the visiting at the hospital. "I don't trust that guy Edward and that witch she's going to see, who knows who the witch is?"As usual, Grandpa is still numb but there's still life in him. I told him about how Gloria found her wolf and how we still haven't find anything about her p
