Episode Five

CHAPTER FIVE

SERENA'S POV

It 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 counter

Yes, 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 drunk

You 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 plan

I 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 laughed

on 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 countered

She 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 office

The 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 left

I 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 nodded

Few minutes later, the test results were handed over to me. I was tensed as I didn't know what to expect

I opened the first one, and yes I was running a fever

I 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 palms

Don'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 was
