Stress Isn't Good For Your Condition

Asher thinks the whole thing is laughable. Honestly, who would have seen this coming? A male Alpha getting impregnated by a female? If someone had told him he would one day have to deal with this crap, he'd have shot them in the head before they could finish their sentence.

But that was his reality. He was cursed by the Moon Goddess herself; this was his punishment for his cruelty. The lives he'd taken, the families he'd broken apart, the children he'd had snatched from their parents—all in the name of power—this was his retribution. An Alpha who had been lowered to a measly Omega. A very pregnant one, too. And to think the one responsible was only a one-night stand he had long forgotten about.

"How is this possible?" he heard the stupid woman ask. And sure enough, she deserved some sort of explanation, but Asher was still too bitter about the whole thing to be reasonable. Nobody needed to know about this, not even the doctor, but his mother had insisted. As she said, the doctor was the mother of his children.

Fuck, Asher didn't even want children. It was the reason why he only slept with female Alphas—he didn't want to risk it. He had a mate, too, though he felt nothing for the woman. Still, it was too fucked up!

"We believe it is the will of the Moon Goddess. My son has become too willful." Asher just knew his mother was giving him that look of disappointment, but he didn't give a shit. "He has massacred dozens of packs, all to quench his hunger for power. It was only a matter of time before he was punished for his actions. We just... didn’t expect it to be like this."

"And... you are sure he is pregnant?"

This damn woman! How good it would be to send a bullet through her skull. His carpet would look good soaked with her blood. Patience, Asher. You don't want to anger the Goddess any further.

"We are certain. We've consulted priests from the Moon Temple. None of them know how to reverse the curse. I don't think we have much choice in this matter."

Sabrina was still unable to wrap her head around the subject. These people were telling her that she had gotten Alpha Asher pregnant? And they spoke so calmly about it, too. Even the said pregnant male Alpha was looking all calm and collected. She was half expecting them to reveal that this was all a prank.

Okay, the Moon Goddess was all-powerful, and nothing was impossible for her. And if there was one person who deserved to be cursed by the Goddess, it was indeed Asher. But the fact that Sabrina had been dragged into the mess wasn’t pleasing at all. She was being looked at so intently, with a lot of expectation, too. What did they want her to do? What was she supposed to say to this?

"I... Uh... Did you want an abortion?" Sabrina could do that. It would be a simple operation, and boom, everything would be back to normal. She swore that if she got out of this situation in one piece, she would never engage in casual sex again.

Silence reigned heavy in the room. Just as Sabrina was about to assure them of her skills in this field, she met Asher's eyes, and her legs nearly gave out. The murderous look the man was giving her made her fear he might attack her at any moment. She was merely stating other ways of handling the situation. She knew nothing about pregnant men, but she doubted it was even possible to deliver a baby like this.

"What did you say?"

"N... Nothing, I didn't say anything!!"

"Look at you," Asher eyed her in disgust. "Ugly and pathetic. Watch your tongue before I cut it off and make you swallow it!"

"Asher! Don't scare the poor girl. She might be the only way to reverse whatever the hell you did to yourself. I've told you long ago to stop sleeping with other women. You have a mate, for goodness’ sake! What would Bella think once she hears of this?"

"None of you will speak a word of this to outsiders, or else..." Asher's hateful gaze was fixed on Sabrina as he made those threats. She had no doubt he would end her if she went against him—he was just that kind of cruel person. "Now, get the hell out!"

The older Luna grumbled but walked out of the room along with the Beta and the other man. Sabrina also picked up her bag and prepared to leave.

"Not you."

She froze in her tracks, then slowly looked back at the man who was watching her with disdain. If one didn't know better, they would think she had murdered his whole family. "Is there anything else I can help you with before I go?"

"Go where?"

"Um... Home."

Asher threw his head back and laughed. The sound resonated in the room, making the she-wolf tense. Did she say something funny? Sabrina had to still herself from taking several steps back as Asher edged closer to her. The man was still as good-looking as ever, but there was no attraction between them this time. Sabrina considered sleeping with him the biggest mistake she had made in a very long time.

"Silly Luna." He twirled a strand of her hair between his fingers. "You think I'd just let you go without taking responsibility?"

"Responsibility? For what?"

"For getting me pregnant, you idiot!!"

"Woah, I didn't get you pregnant! You got yourself cursed by the Moon Goddess. It has nothing to do with me. Besides, I offered to help you get an abortion, right? What else do you expect from me? I'm not looking to start a family or anything."

Asher's fingers tightened around her hair, almost to the point of pulling it right out of her skull. Sabrina winced and bit down on her tongue. It was best to control her mouth around the crazy man. There was really nothing stopping him from ending her life at the moment.

But the whole thing was so absurd! She got a man pregnant! This was so not on her bucket list of things to do before she died.

"Listen very carefully." He gripped her jaw harshly. "You will stay by my side until I figure out how to deal with this shit. Or else, I will kill you and bury you where your body will never be found."

"I..."

The door burst open, and a beautiful woman walked inside. She placed her hand on her chest as she panted. She had short dark hair, and the white dress she wore hugged her figure perfectly. The woman’s expression turned unsightly when she took in the scene in front of her.

"Asher?" This woman was Isabella Margery, Asher's destined mate and the one person he couldn't afford to displease. Mates were sacred, and though he didn't particularly like his, he still had to keep up appearances. "I heard you got this woman pregnant!?"

"Actually, I got him pregnant," Sabrina helpfully clarified.

Asher let go of her in an instant. With a click, he had a gun pointed at her head. "Say another word," he growled, "I dare you."

Sabrina went mute very obediently. The next moment, she muttered, "Calm down first. Stress can lead to a miscarriage."

Sabrina hissed as pain shot through her. Asher had hit her with the bottom of his gun, as she collapsed on the floor, the last thought that went through her head was ' We really should have used a condom '
