Chapter 3

Delilah’s mother's POV

I didn’t know if I should be pissed off at my daughter for being so careless or if I should cut off Derek's balls and hang them over the fireplace mantle. She was upset and he was the reason for it. I couldn’t believe he didn’t want to be a part of his child's life.

I wanted to know more about what happened, but I knew getting that kind of information I would have to go to Derek about it. I wasn't sure if he was playing games because he knew she would be Luna and pregnant, or if he didn’t want a child and this was his way of making sure he didn’t have to claim responsibility. 

Looking at my daughter, I wanted to smack her but then I wanted to love her because she was alone in this and she had a child growing inside her. I didn’t know what I was going to do I was pissed more at the Alpha for not controlling how his son was.

“What are you thinking?” Delilah asked.

“I don’t know.” I snapped not meaning to. “I mean we’re going to have to figure this out, and we’re going to have to be quick. If Derek is threatening you in any way then I think the best situation is to leave here.”

“No,” she said shaking her head. “I know you like it here, if anything I can leave and we can figure things out later.”

“I am not going to send you off as I hate you,” I growled. That kind of hurt hearing her say that, but I could see why she thought leaving here was the best thing for her. There was no way she was going anywhere.

“I can even go to Aunt Marla’s house at least until the baby is born,” she said. I shook my head, I wasn't going to send my daughter off to my sister, I hated they already had a good relationship and we didn’t. I wanted to grow closer to my daughter but I knew I was a little too strict. 

She was a good student, and I was heartbroken when her father denied her. She was going through the same thing I did and I couldn’t help but want to go into my room and cry my eyes out. It was like I was cursed and it was going through my daughter now.

I was sad that she didn’t have a sister or a brother, but that would have happened if her father didn’t leave us and he didn’t cause me to lose my last pregnancy. I only wanted the best for my only child and I knew she was going to need me more than anything.

“Maybe we can go and visit your aunt, but I don’t want you staying there. We are going to get through this and we are going to show this pack that you are a strong woman that can take care of a baby on your own. I am going to tell Derek’s father though.” I knew it was a bad idea to tell her because she was going to freak out, but I wanted her to know I was going after him.

I knew she didn’t want to go near my sister, but neither did I. I wanted to figure this out and be done with everything, I was more worried about my daughter being able to do this. It was a lot of work doing things myself and now I was going to have to help her too.

“Are you okay?” she asked breaking me out of my mind.

“Yeah, I am just trying to figure out what I am going to do next,” I said smiling. “Don't worry we’re going to figure this out one way or another. But first, we need to worry about the Lycan King coming here, we don’t want to show him that we don’t care about him.”’

“But I don’t care about him,” she said. I wanted to smack her for that, if she didn’t care about her life as much as I did then I could see her saying something like that. “I mean I do but I don’t care that he is coming, I have other things to worry about.”

“I know, but let's get through that first, I am sure things are going to be better once I can get my head straight and figure out what I am going to do to make this easier for you,” I said shaking my head. “But first you need to get yourself straight I don’t want anyone to know about this, we cannot be shamed out of this pack.” I knew I should have kept that to myself, but she is old enough to understand we have to bow down to this Alpha and kiss his feet if needed. 

“Don't worry I am going to make sure no one knows about this, we are going to leave here before they find out,” she said. I wasn't sure what she meant by us, maybe she meant her and the baby. I was too sick to travel and I wasn't going to try and be on the run.

“We will cross that bridge when we get there, but I am still upset, I thought you were smart. No, you are smart.” I growled. “I don’t know why you would do this, what happened to sex with your mate only?”

“I thought he was my mate, I mean he still can be my mate but still.” she stumbled with her words but it didn’t matter, she knew she made this mistake and it will change her life forever. I was doomed to face life alone and my beautiful daughter will have a child to love her.

“Bah, I don’t want to hear it!” I snapped at her. I had to make her feel like I was mad at her, this was the only way I will know if she is strong enough to move on. She is barely seventeen and now she is going to have her first before she gets her wolf. I sighed before I left her standing there, I felt like I was betraying her but it was only because I love her so much.

“Mom, please don’t leave me too.” I heard her say but I kept walking. I knew she was going to hate me, I prayed she wouldn't but what else could I do?
