3 - Pregnant Without Mate

"You must do a body examination before officially becoming our contract mate." William Octavius stood in front of my room and uttered those words.

Exactly a week since Matthias slept in my room, it was the first time I received new orders from the five Alphas. Throughout this time, I kept thinking about what happened that night.

Did Matthias really sleep with me? What if I'm pregnant? We haven't made any contractual agreements about this relationship; I can't be pregnant outside of that contract.

"Excuse me, Your Majesty. I need to examine your body." A female doctor approached me, carrying a bag of medical tools.

Inside my room, the four Alphas who would become my mates were here. Except for Matthias, of course. I underwent the examination in front of the four Alphas: Nathaniel Demetrius, Frederick Valerian, Arthur Leonidas, and William Octavius.

My heart pounded with fear about the results of my body examination. I couldn't let these four Alphas know what had happened between me and Matthias a week ago!

"Your Majesty ... It seems you're pregnant—" The female doctor touched my stomach, and she was shocked beyond belief. She immediately looked at me with a pale face. I knew what she was going to say.

"Please be quiet," I immediately covered the doctor's mouth. "Whatever you know about my body, don't say it in front of them!"

The doctor, afraid of my threat, chose to nod and cooperate. To the four Alphas, she stated that my body was in good condition. The examination was over, and William asked me to prepare for the night. I had to go to their room tonight. But before that, I had to figure out how to keep them from knowing my secret with Matthias ...

"You're pregnant, Your Majesty."

My world felt like it was crumbling upon hearing her words. "Wh-what did you say?"

"Congratulations, you're pregnant! Should I inform the news to your Alpha mate?" The doctor I visited outside the palace smiled while giving her joyful congratulations.

But I, on the contrary, felt half-dead with panic. The nightmare I dreaded unexpectedly became a reality.

"Who is my Alpha mate? We can write a letter to help you, Your Majesty," the doctor offered assistance.

What she didn't know was that I was pregnant with the most famous and influential noble Alpha in this kingdom. Also, the Alpha who hated me the most.

Matthias L Theodosius. I couldn't believe that the night we spent together resulted in a child. Especially considering that among the four Alphas, Matthias was the one who despised me the most.

"No need, thank you," I declined the doctor's help and chose to leave with a disheveled face.

Shortly after leaving the royal medical facility, I accidentally encountered the royal carriage passing by the outskirts of the city. The carriage was greeted by the Theodosius kingdom residents with joy, and my curiosity peaked.

"M-Matthias?" I muttered his name. My gaze was shocked when I saw Matthias inside the golden carriage. He wasn't alone but with a beautiful Omega dressed like a royal princess.

I immediately remembered Estella, the name of the Omega Matthias mentioned when he slept with me. Watching Theodosius residents welcome them, my heartache intensified.

Moreover, there was already a baby living in my stomach. Without his knowledge, I was pregnant with Matthias' child. But he already had another Omega. Should I run away to hide this pregnancy? Matthias certainly wouldn't want to marry me.

The horse-drawn carriage Matthias rode stopped right in front of me. I fell silent, not knowing we would meet in a place like this. The beautiful Omega standing next to him continued to look at me from head to toe, her gaze expressing surprise at how an ugly and poor Omega like me could be in the king's palace.

"Who is she?" The Omega asked Matthias, her face showing strong dislike towards me still standing there.

Matthias didn't answer immediately; he examined my body from head to toe, as if checking something.

'Does he remember that night? He can't possibly know I'm pregnant with his child, right? He can not know about this baby. If he does, the entire kingdom won't forgive me,' my inner with a trembling heart.

"I don't know her," Matthias answered with his cold voice that hurt my feelings. "Just ignore her. She's probably just an unimportant Omega who's trash in my kingdom."

Just imagine it, we slept together, and I am pregnant with his child, yet Matthias said such cruel things and remembered nothing. And I couldn't escape from here because I had no place to go back to. I could only stay silent. Seeing Matthias' intimacy without remembering anything, with his Omega lover.

"Matthias!"

I was surprised and turned, finding Arthur walking toward us, calling Matthias with his friendly tone. They both immediately chatted amicably, ignoring me. Only when I was about to step away, Arthur pulled my hand.

He embraced my waist in front of Matthias. At that moment, I hoped I was mistaken. But even though it was only a few seconds, I could see Matthias' angry expression seeing Arthur hug my body so casually.

Although afterward, Matthias pretended to be cold again and ignored me.

"My great brother, how’s the Omega I brought? Isabelle is the most beautiful Omega in this kingdom! Look at her eyes, like a rainbow. She is the rarest Luna descendant! I'm sure she can bear many offspring for you," Arthur spoke shamelessly. Even though he was the one who trapped me in this situation.

"Arthur. How many times have I told you? I don't need your help," Matthias responded with his cold face.

"Don't be like that, my brother. We all know that you desire an heir the most. And even with your condition, I'm sure Isabelle can still bear children for you," Arthur insist beside me.

"What condition are you talking about?" I turned to him, shocked by what Arthur mentioned so casually.

"Don't you know?" Arthur, in turn, asked me. "Prince Matthias is predicted to be unable to have children. He is also predicted to win the fight and become the next king. That's why everyone in this kingdom is looking for an Omega who can bear his child. That's why, I brought you here."

My body felt like it was struck by lightning hearing that.

Matthias is infertile? Predicted to be unable to have children? I just found out about this now! How could I not know all this time!?

Then why could I get pregnant so easily? What if everything is according to Arthur's prediction, that I am destined to bear an heir for him?

"I-i-if ... If ... If there's an Omega who successfully bears your child, what will you do?" I mustered the courage to ask Matthias. My trembling hands continued to clutch my still flat stomach, where our baby had been alive.

"It depends on who that Omega is. If she's a noble Omega, then I'll make her the Queen of my kingdom. But if she's a poor Omega ...." Matthias stopped his words.

When he mentioned a poor Omega, he looked at me with a sardonic expression, as if that sentence was aimed at me.

"I-i-if the one who pregnant with your child is a poor Omega like me ... What will you do?" My heart pounded so fast in fear, but I couldn't help but ask him myself.
