GLORIA POV
“So Mrs….. Sorry Miss Gloria, we have several samples here what are your preferences?” The Doctor asked after I came back from the lab where the test is done.
I crossed my hands on my shoulders unsure of what to say.
“Well, get me the most handsome man there, I don’t care if he’s poor just a man that can give me baeutiful baby and a sperm that can get me pregnant in 10 days” I said defiantly.
The doctor brought a file from his drawer and gave it to me, “You can choose any man that looks handsome to you, and you need to sign a contract that if anything goes wrong, we are not in amyway at fault, because you choose the man yourself”
"I know." I sniffle. "And if this is going to be my only baby, I don't want to take any chances. I want the best donor you have no need of any preference”
“You don’t want to mind even if the fellow is poor or have any health issues?” The doctor sound concerned.
I sighed with anger as I rolled my eyes to look at him only of he know how shattered my heart was right now. “Okay let me see the pictures of the donors”
He handed me another file which contained details of several men but as much as I tried I can’t settle for one, the more I see the men the more angered I was as they reminded me of Gabriel severally. I hissed with disgust and tossed him the file. “Give me anyone doctor, I’m too busy for this”
Gabriel and Dorcas had cahsed me out of the house, I have to let them know who is the boss in the game. Yes I should be dead to them but alive for my baby. My only wish is to go back to them with a pregnancy in my stomach.
I signed the confidentiality agreement and was lead to the OBN-GYN office where a female doctor who introduced herself as Lucy was.
I find her quite interesting and as she constantly jokes around during the process. It was kind of painful since my pussy still bleeds from the abortion but with a pleasant doctor as Lucy, I was able to pull through.
"It's all taken care of now, Miss Gloria” She promises, "You can come back in ten days to receive your pregnancy results because I know you will pull it through”
“Thank you so much doctor” I smiled stiffly and stood up. She also stood up to help me. “You should refrain from alcohol and sex during these 10 days”
“Sure Dr Lucy, see you in 10 days”

When I arrived at work the next day, I found that my keys no longer fit the locks on the front door of my the house. I was actually surprised because the woman I work for told me that I was the only outsider that has access to her keys because I nanny her two kids which left me overwhelmed with confusion.
I was about to walk towards the backyard where the kitchen was and ask her what the problem was only to be stopped by her as she bolted out of the door leading to the kitchen (in the backyard)
I bowed slightly immediately, "Good morning Mrs Tekashi”
To my utmost dismay, this short woman only hissed with disgust which made me raise my head immediately.
“Mrs Ferguson why are you not here since Monday? The kids almost killed me with questions” She asked which made me sigh with relief, she only hissed because I wasn’t around.
“Mrs Tekashi I was sick and was admitted to the hospital I got discharged yesternight, where is Nick and Ted?” I asked about the kids before streching the key towards her “Did you change the front door lock? my keys aren't working Madam, did you perhaps know…….."
"They're not meant to." She answers coldly, "As of yesterday afternoon, your services were no longer required and my mother-in-law has already sent a new nanny for my kids”
"I... you're firing me?" I asked, not believing my ears. "Why?"
“I got a call from your husband!" She annoucned without control "How can a married woman think of having an abortion? Are you trying to mock me or what? What morals will you teach my kids if you keep acting that way? You’ll teach them to marry wives that can abort pregnancies?”
"That isn't the case Mrs Tekashi" I plead. "My husband cheated on me so you can’t believe what he told you madam. He was the one that fed me the abortion pills I can swear with my parent’s tomb”
"I don't want to hear it." She hisses. "Now leave before my motehr-in-law comes around because she was the one that gave orders for your dismissal the matter is not in my hands you know she rules the house ”
"Please, can't I at least say goodbye to the children? I still take them till last week let me tell them goodbye madam please?" I request, praying she'll grant me this one kindness.
"I'm dialling my husband now Mrs Ferguson leave my house now! Or did you want the kids to know your atrocities too?" She tells me simply, pulling her cell phone from her pocket.
"No!" I raise my palms in supplication, "It's okay, I'll go."
For the second time this week, I find myself shamefully retreating from this house with tears streaming down my face. What hurts even worse than losing my job is the fact I didn't get to say goodbye to the kids which I take.
I know Gabriel might have called the woman’s mother-in-law I left home for the mall. He might think I am dead now since he hasn’t seen me since the day I left. A rush of fury takes hold of me, and suddenly I wish I could punish him somehow. It's not like me to be so vindictive, but right now it truly feels like my entire life is falling apart, and it's all his fault.
I spent all my money on the insemination, the last one chance left to get a loan, I used it to rent a mini apartment last night to lay my head, without any clothes or even my school certificates and without a job I have almost nothing. How can I ever going to afford to have a baby now? I left my jewleries at Gabriel’s house also. Thank goodness the landlady gave me spare clothes last night because I told her that I was alone.
As if things weren't already bad enough, I got to the mini apartment and my phone bills got finished!
Which leaves me only one option now! That is asking the doctor to let the sperm donor know that I’m pregnant, perhaps I he could give some child care f*e.
As I laid on the flat bed in the room watching the TV, my mind can’t stop from waving towards the days of old when I would be in Gabriel’s arms cuddling in our home. We would both daydream what it feels like to be a parent but now it has became a thing of the past.
On the TV, Damian Moon was suddenly shown on the business news having an interview with the top richest men in Springfield country. This man was just too implacable but no matter how much I swoon, he is a werewolf which I loathed.
Of course Gabriel was never as handsome as Damian, nor did he ever have his charisma or imposing presence. I don't know if I've ever met anyone like him before this got me wondering why a man like him was at the hospital. Did he come for donation? But I hissed in disgust, who cares what he comes to do? He’s just a heartless werewolf Alpha but as much as I wanted to dismiss the thought of why he came to the hospital, a part of me was still taken in by his handsome features and pure magnetism and wanted to know more.
Shaking myself, I turn the TV off. What the hell is wrong with me? The man is a heartless billionaire and I'm still sitting here mooning over him like a silly schoolgirl.
I end up going to bed early, trying not to think about my problems. Of course, I still lie awake late into the night - I know what it means to grow up an orphan, and I can't countenance bringing a child into the world just to abandon it to that bleak existence. The more my life unravels, the more stark my options become.
If I am pregnant... Am I going to abort the child? Even though it's what I've wanted my entire life and this is my last chance of having a child?
GLORIA POV“Congratulations sweetie, you are becoming a mother soon” Dr Lucy announced immediately I got into her office and get the test done.I just managed to smile stifly, if I had received this message when i had a job then I would be the most happiest on earth. But now, I am not even sure if I wanted this baby or not, but what choice do I have? This is my last chance of motherhood.She did some check up and wrote something down on her tabloid. When she was done, we now had the time to talk because this time she had noticed the worried.“What happened? Are you worried if the baby is there or not? Come back after three months and we shall know the gender of the baby” Dr Lucy replied jovially but I only smiled lightly before I fidgeted with my fingers for a while before choosing my words carefully.“Em Dr Lucy you see I….” I can’t form the word properly. I f*el so ashamed to say this despite my determination that I won’t ask the donor for any f*e. But what fucking choice do I ha
DAMIAN “I can smell my pup” I said as I entered the doctor’s office. Of course, I can feel my pup near. Before entering the doctor’s office, Alaric had alerted me beforehand that he could smell our pup near but I don’t 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 doctor’s 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, “Did you expect me to be delusional at my age?” 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 can’t identify find its way into my nose. ‘What is this Damian? Why did she had different scents?’ Alaric growled
GLORIA’S POVI walked down the alley leading to the mini apartment I rented with heavy heart.My biggest goal is to have a child of my own and when I got it, my husband aborted it and now , my last chance in becoming a mother, the father is a werewolf.I hate this life I wished I could just fly away to the realm of the meadows and enjoy myself with my baby but even if I do, my baby is no doubts a werewolf.A tear ran down my cheek as my mind flashed to that day when a werewolf tore my parent’s body apart. I was five then when I came back from school and met them kneeling before a green eyed beast begging for their lives.The memories of that day came back freshly as the metallic smell of blood hit my nose. Mum had gestured that I hid well so none of them would see me, and in that place where I hid, I saw them getting ripped off with claws.Recollecting that day alone is enough reason to hate those damned beasts but now that the child inside of me is one, I think my fate is sealed.If
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 compe
(IMMEDIATELY GLORIA LEFT THE HOSPITAL)DAMIAN’S POVI walked with calculated steps out of the elevator towards the annex with a stern look on my face.I have to go and see who sent the bastard to pull down all my posters from the wall.‘Alpha, the men just called that they have killed the men that pulled down the posters and the person that sent them is currently in their custody” Luca reported as everyone that followed me and I took a turn to a sharp corner leading to the annex of the building.I walked in fast strides, my expressionless face adding to my appearance's glamour. My heart was in turmoil I can’t deny that, that awfully smelling Gloria kept coming to my mind every time and now.When I asked her to be brought to me, I had her confined at the pack hospital where I know she will be safe without any problems for sure. Being at the hospital especially in the (VIP) section, no one would be able to get her scent as a human due to the aesthetic and antiseptic smell hospitals do
GLORIA POV "My senses don't lie, You are a delta, how did you meet Damian moon and who’s the father of the baby inside of you?" The man in black suit asked with anger, leaving no room for argument. All I could feel was fear, I was still there and these people are standing before me like demi gods leaving me no room to escape. This is the question he had been asking me since he knelt before me and doing all these sniffing of a thing, telling me I am a motherfucking delta or whatever. No one is coming to save me in this dare situation I know that without doubt since I left the hospital without Damian’s consent, all I have to do is to escape. “I…. I don’t know what you are talking about” I denied yet again. Maybe these is the reason Damian is warning me against carrying his baby alone. What have I gotten myself into Jah? The man raised my jaw I could now see his eyes more clearly, it was not green like Damian’s, instead, it was blue. Icy blue that sent shivers down my spine. This i
DAMIAN POV "Yes, make sure that she never have a place to stay in this pack. Hunt her down and bring her to my feet" I said to Luca who bowef immediately I commanded him. It's already morning yet Gloria is still Asleep. Last night must be so tiring an chaotically unstable for the child she was carrying. After the duel with Brian's, she had fainted and when I was taking her away from the woods, I got a call that Brain had already sent his men to free Victoria. Even though I was angry, I kept my cool and focused on the woman wit my pup. Alaric also supported it that I take her to the human's hospital pending the time we would reach an agreement on what to do either the baby. Dr Lucy had examined her through the night and I was at the VIP waiting room until this morning. "Mr Moon, She just woke up and she's still freshing up, shall we bring her here or ..." The male doctor who came to tap me from where I was dozing off asked (Before calling Luca) I sighed, "Inform me w
GLORIA'S POV Yes I meant what I said. I will be with him so we can take care of the preganancy together and when I deliver of the baby, we shall discuss what to do. Yes I fainted last night when I was watching him duel with Brian and when he tried to protect me by saying I was his Luna, it felt so strange yet I love the sound of the tag 'Luna' Thinking back to it, there's no use clinging to the preganancy alone when he wanted the child so badly and what I wanted was a child to opress Gabriel and Dorcas. About being afraid of him, when I woke up some minutes to daybreak, I had to weigh the options before me. Abort the baby and remain poor and barren all my life or Go with him and enjoy luxury while I'm still stuck to being afraid of him. All these are the reason why I decide to swallow all pride and fear and go with him. In the morning, I had Dr Lucy order all great delicacy for me and clothes under his name, what's the use of being with a billionaire Alpha if I can't wear design
DAMIAN'S POV Brian didn't stop, he continued his words, "Isn't this the same Victoria Sinclair who wanted me to ride her faster than horse one saying I con her?" Victoria didn't respond. I was shocked to hear all these from the two of them, I can't lie, I'd thought Brian had a hand in how Victoria was trying to get close to me again but Alas he didn't?'So it's Brian and Victoria love saga now?' Alaric was enjoying this. But l no I am not fuckin interested in whatever it might be. Brian's face was merciless I could tell how hurt he was at this rate. I just realized that Brian is someone who gets hurt easily especially when anyone had a misconception about him.Brian moved closer to me he grabbed my collar therefore scattering the tie that I'd painstakingly knot. "Damian Moon how dare you? How can you say these words now and not support me?" I blinked in awe, I should support him with what? Alaric was behind himself with euphoric, 'I've never see such a delusional person as B
DAMIAN'S POV Over the past few days Victoria and I are growing more closer that I'd ever thought. She made it her duty to always prepare my breakfast and come work me to the hospital to clean Grandpa's body. Despite all these, There's no way I'm ever going to forget the woman that stayed with me when Victoria cheated on me. Each minute, that I see anything relating to her, my heart would swell up with emotions and I'll remember the days when we're both leaving together peacefully. When it's three weeks of futile search, Victoria who had been a constant antagonist to my life story worked harder and sooner, she got Alaric who used to hate her on her side This is a surprise that Alaric who hates Victoria could concur easily, but I don't have any energy to argue with him or else my body will suffer for it. That fateful morning I was preparing for office when Luca came into my room and bowed. "Alpha, about the project we're handling, the board has decided to extend the construction
GLORIA'S POV "In the world where fairness dominates, Werewolves and humans blend together and get rid of malicious and wicked creatures like the Vampires and witches like me" Ulsan explained as we both sat at the veranda of the castle eating groundnut and maize.Despite my reluctance to accept my fate and recoil from this woman, several options and revelations stopped me from doing so as I have been told the reason why she loves alone in the forest. It's all thanks to Victoria who think she abducted me and threw me into the forest either to get killed or eaten by wolf animals, or how else would I have ever met a witch? She took care of me after I'd eaten, take care of my pregnancy and provide alot of recreational activities that keeps me from getting bored. However, what I find baffling is that Ulsan refused to tell me the reason why she said there'll be no election. It's very shocking a surprising that the election Damian and Brian were fighting or will never hold but who am I
DAMIAN'S POV The next day started in a blur. Brian was the first to leave the hospital for his house to go freshen up leaving me and Victoria. Throughout all that happened last night, she was asleep she didn't know anything only to be bothering me with questions. Sooner, she also left to go freshen up, but I can't leave this man here alone. He might want to talk to me again or perhaps something might happen to him. Elder Collins was the first to arrive with his wife. " Alpha Damian, don't you think you should go back to your office? Staying here with him dues nothing right?" He asked. I shot the old man a deadly glance, "Did I complain that my bussiness is going under? I'm fine thank you!" I hate hypocrites like this. He only came here to scorn me,I know that because he's clearly on Brian's side. When Gloria disappear last month to the Lycans Coven, this same Elder Collins was the one that supported Brian in turning the elders against me. What should I expect from someone
DAMIAN'S POV.Brian and Victoria were fast asleep beside me but I can't fall asleep, not while watching that man on the sick bed while clutching to his life. When the clock stuck 12, I shifted to my wolf form so I could stand and guard the door. Despite all that, disturbing thoughts plagiarized the peace of my mind leaving me with turmoil and unspoken invincible pains that I couldn't control. 'Can Gloria really cheat on me?' was the constant rhyme going on in my heart untill I shifted back to have some rest.I noticed the blanket covering Grandpa was slightly opened on the side, I thought of walking over to adjust it when I suddenly feel his strong arms grab mine.My eyes flew open, the sleep that was weighing me down disappeared to jeopardy in one minute. Isn't he the same man that the doctor said was in coma and won't wake up till further notice. "Grandpa are you awake?" I asked with bare whispers but no response. I shook his hand again, "Grandpa, should I call the doctor?" No
GLORIA'S POVUlsan give me a room which I stayed in. But I refused to wrap my head around the fact that I'll stay in this magical Castle with a witch as Ulsan. Fear gnawed at me each minute that I tried to reassure myself that it will be fine because nothing is ever fine. The transitions, the castle, the revelation that I was saved by a witch, everything keeps spinning in my brain dynamically and I was unable to process it. This went on from morning till night, all I did was to hug my small baby bump and think of good old days. Tears had stopped flowing from my eyes since I've been crying for what seems to be ages. Nevertheless, I would hold my stomach, and speak silently to my baby, "Don't worry Baby, mommy will be fine, just don't give me any problems, I'll make sure to get you out of this place and we'll be with daddy soon" Talking of Daddy, I wonder what Damian is doing right now. Was he looking for me? Or....Damn! I just want to get the fuck out of this mysterious place bu
DAMIAN'S POV'Nothing must happen. Nothing will happen Damian' Alaric keeps reassuring me but my human side didn't want to accede We all rushed after the doctors to the operating room with eagerness and frenzy. I can't help but say I'm really scared, very scared and frightful, what if something happens to him? I will never forgive myself if anything happens to Gamma Tony because he's the only father and guardian I have in this world.The lights of the operating ward came in to signify the start of the surgery or whatever they want to do.Brian's blue eyes was glowing with fear, even the talkative Victoria was speechless and the elders had their heads bowed with worry as no one said anything to each other. I don't want to think about Gloria, but I don't know why my mind is constantly thinking of her, 'Where can she be?''But I can never accept the fact that she ran away from us. She's not the type to ditch he people like this' Alaric comforted me when he noticed the doubts in my mi
DAMIAN'S POV I packed my bags hurriedly in an attempt to go back to Edinburgh since several calls has been flooding me right from the moment everything happened. 'Will you leave her behind?' Alaric interrupted my thoughts and I stopped. I don't see how it can give without leaving her behind at this rate. Gama Tony is I'm pains over there and I'm sure my name will be on the council's lips waiting for me to come over. ‘What should I do Alaric? I can't fuckin find her anywhere it's been two days now!’ I growled angrily and slumped back on the bed leaving the bags unpacked. For the last two days, Luca and the HR department has been running several location devices to find her location but none was successful. They managed to find her phone but where is she? The door was opened from outside and Victoria who was dressed gorgeously entered with her bags. “Damian, you haven't packed your bags? Time is running out we'll miss the flight" she yelled at me. I sat up on the bed and
AUTHOR'S POV Gloria's eyes snapped open immediately she felt cold water on her skin. At first, her eyes wasn't able to adapt to the bright light around her until someone stood on the doorpost where the sunlight flickered from allowing Gloria's eyes to adapt to the light. The environment reeked of damp soil and the air is so cold and uncomfortable but Gloria was able to adapt to the environment as though she's been there before. She stood up from the coffin where she was lying and saw a pair of old eyes looking at her like a doctor would look at specimen. The old woman poked her with a bucket, "Are you still alive or you're now a ghost?" Gloria opened her mouth to start talking but her breathing hitched and the baby in her belly kicked. She held her stomach and growled in pain. The old woman seem to notice her uneasiness and handed her a cup of water. "Take this" Gloria gulped the water hurriedly as if her life depends on it until she retched. "Thank you ma" Gloria breathed
