The wedding day.I have imagined several ways that my wedding was going to take place. Fairytales that was what I called them. The pink lilies lined up the walks, I even imagined my dog walking down the aisle with me bearing the rings with the revered flower crown adorning his or her furry head. It was going to be a white wedding where everyone wore white same as the decorations.But never in Gods green earth did I imagine that I was going to have a double wedding with the man of my heart and sister from another mother. But more importantly, that Theresa was going to walk beside my mother as they accompany my son and I down the aisle to handle me over to Scott as his wife and Luna.It was my dream come true with a touch of radical goodness. I could never stop my face from gleaming with joy merely looking at Scott standing there in his white tuxedo his face a mask of angelic warmth. And on the other side was Liam and his newly-wedded bride, Aan, their hands entangled as they welcomed
"Congratulations, Emma," Nurse Cherry voiced stiffly, his expression conflicted. "You are three months pregnant. And I must point out the fetus appears quite healthy considering it's only_""What!" My eyes grew as big as saucers, half jolting up from the infirmary bed as his statement registered in my head. "What do you mean I am pregnant? That's impossible!""Yes, young man," My mother who was in the room was beside me at once, fixing the nurse a fierce look. "I thought Doctor Spencer said you are one of his best nurses and yet you couldn't conduct a simple test? What did you learn in medical school?""Luna, here is the result of the test." He handed my mother a white piece of paper which she ogled with squinted eyes hence passing it to me to peruse with a confused expression. One glance and I tossed it back to him."There has to be an explanation for this," I shouted, pointing at the result in his possession. "I can't be pregnant! I am a virgin, do you understand that?" I looked at
"Mistakenly inseminated?" I inquired, frozen to the spot. "What does that even mean?"Her mouth opened and closed like a fish, then she took a deep breath before saying, "This is a willing introduction of sperm into a woman's body usually for the sake of procreation. But in your case, it was a mistake_""Unbelievable!" The Alpha hissed and took a slow stride backwards. "When you are done listening to the rubbish she has to say, you two should meet me at home." He left the room, banging the door after him. That was only when I heaved a sigh of relief. "I am deeply sorry, Emma. I only just realised this a few minutes ago," Dr Spencer admitted and entwined her hands together as she took me in intently, her expression remorseful. My mother didn't say anything but simply stared at her in amazement.Do they understand what they have just done to me? They inseminated me without my permission, what do they want me to do?"Nurse Cherry, kindly wait outside while I speak to the Luna and her d
"I can't believe this," The handsome stranger muttered in exasperation, moving away in the direction of the window where he stood with his hands in his pants pockets staring outside. His lips were in a thin line, obviously not satisfied with the knowledge that a girl like me was carrying his golden baby on top of the fact that I was his mate.Well, duh, it wasn't like I was happy about any of the ideas too. I was still astounded by the manner everything seemed to be unfolding. A mate? I wasn't ready to be anyone's baby carrier not to mention a mate!I just need them to remove, evacuate... whatever terminology they used to remove a baby from someone. Jeez!Dr. Spencer sensing the tension, gave me a charming smile and came around the table to stand beside me, taking my hands in hers and looking me directly in the eyes. "Emma, you must trust me in this. I will handle it." I snatched my hands off. This time it was my turn to move away, letting out a stiff breath. "I am sorry, Dr. Spenc
"I'm so sorry, Em," My mother's voice came out like a squeak, tears slipping down her flawless face. "I tried so hard to talk sense into him but he wouldn't listen.""It's alright, mother." I dropped the last of my clothes into the box and secured it with the band hence I zipped it and slouched my shoulder in exhaustion. "I know you would have done more if you could.""No, I failed you!" Her shoulders shook as she came forward and embraced me. "If I didn't marry him all these won't be happening to you.""And then we'll both be suffering, Mom." I was hurting inside, but I didn't want to show it. It wouldn't help if both of us were falling apart with none to console the other, so I bit down on my tongue to keep the tears away. "You did the best you could for me. Maybe this is my fate. I hold nothing against you.""I will make sure Dr. Spencer pays for this.""You will do no such thing, mother. What did you say about forgiveness?" I pushed away and picked my bag to hand to an oversized m
As we traveled through the silent road, a thousand and one thoughts ran through my head.I was lost and had not the slightest idea what was going to happen, especially with this man I was leaving with.I was sad and hopeless. I was blank and continued to stare into oblivion. Nine months and I'd be free to leave after I had given him the heir that he wanted, I managed to give myself some hope.I reminisced about what happened a few minutes ago and was almost on the verge of tears. My stepfather hadn't even thought twice before sending me off, and for what? A piece of land. Anger welled up in me but it was futile and of no use.We drove on and on until we were almost at his pack. I knew because he mentioned it in his next statements. "We'll be arriving at my pack in a moment. I want you to be on your best behavior."His words left me dumbfounded. What did he mean? I tried to think it through in my head but to no avail."In my best behavior? I don't seem to understand what you mean by thi
I felt irritated at the question asked by my sister. She always took pride in getting on my nerves most of the days. Why did she have to bring it up at that moment? I wondered aloud as I sat in the swiveling chair in my office.I was glad and took a deep breath, glad that I was finally about to breathe. I would get the relief that I wanted. No longer would my mother yell at me to get her a child and no longer would the people ask for a Luna.I can finally sleep in peace. My eyes glinted in the dark and I was about to rise to my feet. I needed to sleep after a long and stressful day. I was about to turn the doorknob when I heard a loud knock from the outside and then the door flung open.My mother stood in front of me with her hands clasped to her sides. I took a deep breath and then returned to my chair."What is it, mom? What brings you here?"A sigh of frustration escaped from my lips. I knew exactly what she was going to talk about and that was the last thing that I wanted. All I
The three-decade-old woman flashed a weak smile at me, one that vanished into thin air almost immediately and dashed to the living room, which was only a few seconds walk from the dining room where we were.My heart pounded against my chest as I dragged my feet along the tiled floor of the house. I tried to imagine what she could want to say but I couldn't. She wore a thick grimace that I found difficult to decipher."Have your seat," she muttered, pointing at one of the sofas behind us when we got to the living room. It was a different one entirely and I hadn't seen it when I came in the other time.I took a deep breath and did as she said, my eyes flickering around. I fiddled with my hands as I managed to keep cool despite the heat in me that was threatening to blow me apart."Can you tell me more about yourself?" She inquired, her lips pursed together. I took a deep breath, muttered a word of prayer to the moon goddess and then began."My name is Emma and I am the daughter of Luna
