CHAPTER FIVE
SERENA'S POVIt had been a week since the incident, and Luna Emily had been of tremendous support to me. Some of the pack members were starting to accept me as one of their own, but to be honest, that one week felt like an eternity. Adjusting to the pack's way of life was challenging. I mean, going from being a Luna to an ordinary wolf in the pack was not easy, but it was my reality now and I had to live with it, without complaints"Hey, Best" Valerie, my coworker and newfound best friend said as she walked into the bar counterYes, I managed to get a job at a bar, the very first place I visited upon arriving at this pack. The particular bar where that perverted asswipe Picked and took advantage of me when I was drunkYou might be wondering why I chose to work there. Well, the reason is because I want to ensure that he faces the consequences of his actions. I needed him to pay for what he had done to me and I believed that he might come back someday, that's when I planned to execute my perfectly laid out planI had been asking around if anyone knew him, but I hadn't received much of a positive response"You look pale and stressed," Valeria observed, giving me a concerned once-over. "Your face and feet seem swollen too," she added."Yeah, I woke up feeling weak this morning, but I'll be fine," I replied, continuing to arrange the glasses that were already arranged. "I'll just give myself plenty of rest when I get home today.""You need to get a check-up, don't be ignorant of your health" she advised and I nodded"Yes boss" I responded playfully and we both laughedon my way back from work, I decided to visit the pack's hospital, but when I got there, there was no doctor to attend to me"What? Is that even supposed to...""Don't get ahead of yourself young lady, you do not have the right to complain when I say there is no doctor available to attend to you today, so come back tomorrow. Just so you know, you're still a rogue, and my suspicions of you aren't cleared yet" a nurse said when I tried to express my dissatisfaction"I can't come back tomorrow, because I would be working round the clock, that's twenty four hours straight, and I don't care if you still suspect me, because it doesn't matter" I counteredShe creased her brows and said "Then you come the day after tomorrow, why do you need to see a doctor anyway, if you're not ill?" This was really getting on my nerves, but I didn't want to get on anybody's bad side, it would only make them hate me more than they already did"I am not Ill Miss, I just want a check-up, and this is the only time I have to spare" if only there was another hospital, I would have been out of this place a long time ago. This bitch didn't even respond to me, she just walked past me. How dare she?No one had ever walked out on me whenever I was talking to them. This was new and I could not believe it. I just wasn't used to it and it hurt really bad. It made me remember my past, which was just a few weeks ago, but it's still my past, yeah? If only Jake wasn't a jackass.... Sigh! I don't even want to talk about that now"Hey, I wasn't done talking" I said, as soon as I caught up with her"Well, I was. Now please stop bothering me, as you can see, I'm working""The nerve of you speaking to me in that manner" I didn't know when that slipped out, now she was going to make fun of me"Oh! Interesting, who were you again?" She said mockingly and I rolled my eyes"Sigh! Um...since there isn't any doctor who could attend to me, then you should, I believe it wouldn't be that hard to run some tests on me, I mean, you're a nurse, you guys know a bit about those things" I suggested and she smirked"I am also busy, come back TOMORROW, what part of that sentence do you not understand huh? You're bothering me, please go" Holy moly, why am I always unlucky? Why do I always meet the wrong people, the mean and bad minded ones? I tell you, this makes life really frustrating"Why are you this mean?" I asked frustratingly and she bursted into a wild laughter“Mean? Did…did you just say mean?“ She said in hitches whilst still laughing“Ignore her miss, Doctor Frederick is done with the surgery, he will see you now” Another lady said as she held my hand and pulled me towards the direction of the doctor's officeThe mean Lady was still laughing like a psycho and till date, I didn't know the reason“Here” she said, pointing at a door and I thanked her“Thank you” she nodded and leftI knocked and pushed the door open“Good evening doc” I greeted with a smile“Good evening miss, have a seat” he responded, then gestured for me to sit, which I didn't hesitate to do, as my legs were already weak from standing for quite a long time“So…how may I help you?““Uh…First of all, my name is Serena Harvard, and lately I have been feeling weak, and sometimes dizzy look, my legs and foot are kind of swollen too, so I came to run some tests to know what is wrong with me, or maybe my body is just going through some biological changes” I explained and he nodded“Alright Miss Harvard, it's true that your body might be going through some biological changes, as all these are symptoms of pregnancy. I am Doctor Frederick by the way” Did he just say pregnancy? That couldn't be possible right? I mean, I was barren, I couldn't reproduce, so what was he talking about? Argh! Serena, you're thinking too far, he only said they were symptoms, it isn't confirmed yet. My subconscious mind cautioned as my whole body was getting tensed up“However, you might just be running a fever, but let's get the test done, shall we?“ He asked and I noddedFew minutes later, the test results were handed over to me. I was tensed as I didn't know what to expectI opened the first one, and yes I was running a feverI wasn't rejoicing neither was I disappointed, then I opened the second one, and indeed I was pregnant“Goodness gracious” I muttered in disbelief, this could be a trick, my eyes could be playing pranks on me“Congratulations, you're becoming a mother in nine months” the doctor said with a wide smile plastered on his face, but it soon disappeared when he noticed that I wasn't smiling“Um…you don't look happy, is everything alright?“ He asked and I shook my head negatively“No, everything is not alright, are you sure that I am pregnant? Like, can this be trusted? I mean, is this a prank? Did Jake ask you to do this? Or was it Clarissa?“ I asked so many questions in a row, and I could see confusion boldly written on his face“Who are those? Are they after you or something?“ He asked, sounding very concerned“No, you don't understand, I am barren, I can't be pregnant” I said and he cocked his brows“No you're not, do you want an ultrasound?“ He asked and I nodded almost immediately“Alright, but what makes you think you're barren anyway?“ Uh…didn't he already know my story? Because it wasn't something hidden, even little cubs knew that I was an exiled Luna due to my barrenness, they all know my story like the back of their palmsDon't ask me how, I also don't know“You don't know? Don't you recognize me?“ I asked “No I don't, you can't expect me to know everyone in the pack” he responded and I nodded, I didn't have the luxury of time to explain shit to him so I just asked if we could proceed to the ultra scan“Oh my! How did I almost forget, we can only do an Ultrasound, so that you can hear the heartbeat of your baby, you won't be able to see the baby, since it's an early stage” he explained and I just stared at him“Why? I want to see the baby for myself” I responded, after what seemed like a staring competition between the both of us"You can't, because we're Werewolves" he simply said and I sighed“Alright then, I'm ready” I affirmed, but before we could proceed any further, the door swung open. Guess who it wasChapter SixSerena's POVThe mean nurse I encountered at the waiting room barged into the office and dragged Doctor Frederick out. According to her claims, there was an emergency which he needed to attend to. Of course I didn't protestUncontrollable tears began rolling down my cheeks as I sat there reminiscing about my ill luck, all the humiliation and embarrassment I had to go through all because I thought I was the problemThe urge to scream like I wanted to throw out my lungs was there and I could not resist it. Doctor Frederick and two other nurses rushed into the office upon hearing my cry of agony“What is the matter, Miss? Why are you so pained about being pregnant, if you were a teenager, then I would understand but you're grown up and….“ Doctor Frederick was saying but I cut in“I am supposed to receive this news with smiles, I should have been jumping around and giving out gifts to people, but no, here I am crying. I have no joy in me anymore because it was stolen, they too
Chapter sevenREED'S POV“Jeremy Sa Andreas” Alpha Robert called“Yes Alpha”“You're one of my best warriors, and you know that. I'm sending you on this mission because I have great trust in you, do not fail me” He said and I nodded my head assuringly and said“I give you my word Alpha Robert, I'll do my best to get all the information we need in order to bring them down. I would bring you and this pack great honor” A small smile curved on his lips, showing satisfaction, then he gestured for me to leaveDon't get confused now, let me give you a brief introduction about myselfI am Reed Alphonso, Second son of Lucas Alphonso, Alpha of The Silver Pack. Though I'm the second, my father chose me as the next in line to the throne, but in order to prove my worthiness, he sent me to spy on Robert Gonzales, bring him down and conquer the whole pack. Only then will I be able to Succeed himMy older brother, Craig, wasn't happy about this, though he had always underestimated and made me feel l
Chapter EightReed's POVSo having said all that, here I am. It's very surprising how much of a dumb ass idiot Robert is, considering all the hype he got from my brother, it was kind of a disappointment. I mean,despite all my flaws and mistakes, he never suspected a thing. Oh well! That's a story for another day, right now I need to take a criminal to the execution hall“Jeremy!“ My colleague called out“Oh! Hey man!“ I greeted and he nodded in acknowledgement. He looked like he wanted to say something. I sensed it might be something pleasant“Is anything the matter?“ I asked in anticipation“Don't you think you should be dragging the criminal at cell 56 out to the execution ground instead of asking questions that do not concern you? . The Alpha and the people are waiting” Simon said as he passed by. It came off rude, which was not of Simon's character. Something was off, I could Sense it. But could it possibly be?Anyway,“Got to go, see you later man!“ I said and headed towards the
CHAPTER NINEREED'S POVI began to avoid eye contact, there's no way I would have told her my real mission. Though she was my mate, i still could not trust her with such vital information that could either make or break meShe stared keenly at me awaiting response, while I racked my brain in search for an alibi. No idea seemed to be coming in“Um... *SMACK*” I hit her head with a force that was enough to make her unconscious“Sameer!“ I called in a tone of urgency“Yes Reed” He answered immediately“Jeremy! Sameer, it's Jeremy! “ I corrected and he nodded“Noted. How can I be of service to you?““I need Amanda's presence right away” I informed, and his gaze moved to the unconscious lady lying on the bed. He stared at her for a considerably long time“What are you doing standing here and staring? Call Amanda now, before Serena wakes up” My voice seemed to have pulled him out of his trance“She's... She's.. Look” He struggled to form wordsI turned sharply towards her, and my mouth f

Right now, I was still wanted and I hadn't thought of an excuse to bail myself out, yet.I could see the garden gate, I just needed this guard out of the way. I kept looking at my wrist watch from time to time. He was late again argh! I can't with this guy “Hey man! Didn't you hear? The Alpha has called on all guards to assemble in his meeting room for an address" Julius said to the guard and he raised a brow“Why would the Alpha want to assemble us?“ That was a good question, I really hoped he was prepared for that one “Uh..— “Oh shit!“ I muttered and face palmed —Are you questioning the Alpha's order?“ The guard began to stutter“Um..no..no, I just. Well…”“Of course I don't know why he has called on all our attention, but I think it has something to do with that traitor, Jeremy who helped the witch escape” The guard nodded, his face saying “T

Chapter TwoSERENA'S POVThe loud bang I heard, made me sit up with an impulseI looked around and found no threat. I had been unconscious for who knows how long. My head hurted badly but I didn't realize it until I became calm and was sure there was no threat around meThere were lots of bruises all over my body, and they all hurt, coupled with the memory of what happened yesterday or the day before, I had no idea, it hurt me moreI tried to get up but couldn't, and had no clue on what to doI even tried calling for help, but my throat was soar, even if it wasn't, it was ridiculous trying to call for help in the woods"Argh!" I winced in pain and frustration, then I remembered I had some ointments in my luggage"Thank the moon goddess, my luggage was hung on my shoulders, who knows where it would have been by now" I said with a chuckleI applied the ointment, but my scratches didn't heal, and that got me worried sickI could remember when I tried to mind Link my mom, but it didn't

She survived the woods, but once again, chose the Wrong location, your sister must have been cursed by her ancestors" the witch said, as they both starred at Serena through the crystal ball"She been cursed or not, is non of my business, How does she keep escaping death?" Clarissa groaned"How did she outrun that ish.. ish.. whatever you called it? Are you even reliable? Cause I am starting to doubt if you're actually the most powerful witch in this region" she questioned"Your sister ran out of luck the minute she stepped foot into The Dark Heart Pack, so don't worry too much" The witch said in an assuring tone, not without a smirk thoughClarissa just sat there starring at her with a confused expression, but suddenly, her face litted up and she smiled ear to ear"The show just got more interesting" she said, still smiling"Yes it did" The witch replied, equally smiling"It's late now, I have to get going, I don't want Jake asking about my whereab
