“Are you pregnant?” Luke stared at me and asked.
“What?...” I swallowed the knot that suddenly formed in my throat.
Why did he came here in the first place, and put me in such situation?
And most importantly, how should I answer that?
I could feel the gears in my head working as I try to come up with solution, because I needed it fast.
What would Luke doif he knew about my pup? I knew that he didn't like me to begin with, and that made my hand even more sweat. What would he likely do once he knew that I was pregnant?
Would he hate me even more, or worse, would he take away my pup from me?
Luke and I fell in a mild staring contest as he waited for me to answer…
I knew Luke well. He value the Alpha throne more than anything and so were it's heir. The pack's interest come first above all else, even his own son.
It was still vivid in my mind how Flora lied that she was pregnant and what she got from Luke. Although Kylian's mother Natasha wanted Kylian to officially claim Flora as his mate and Luna, all Luke wanted was the pup. He didn't even think twice to decide that Flora should be kicked out while they get to keep the pup.
Back then, I was a qualified Luna and his eyes, so he would willingly keep me and Flora's child if she was really pregnant.
But now… everything changed.
He already hated me deep to the bones and wanted me gone more than he ever wanted Flora to be gone.
I was no longer the Luna he wanted, the Luna they could control.
From me, to Flora, and now to Stella.
Luke's preferred Luna always change base on who would be more beneficial to the Dark Moon Pack. He had no feelings or emotions, just interest.
Now that he preferred another she-wolf to be the Luna and mate of his son, he would surely forcefully take my pup away from me and throw me away like a piece of trash he saw me as.
I might not be read to have a pup, but there was no way I would let anyone take my pup from me for another woman to raise.
Just thinking about it made me anxious and uncontrollable. I stared at him, trying to figure out what he was thinking now through the windows of his soul.
But he just looked at me, his eyes full of doubt, darkness and anger.
To avoid his suspicion, I replied as fast as I could, “No, I'm not.”
I even shook my head and furrowed my eyebrows, acting as clueless as I could be.
"Sorry, I don't know what you're talking about. What are you holding?"
“Now, I never took you for an actress,” Trisha, my wolf, teased at the back of my mind, suddenly resurfacing after a while of silence.
“Oh, shut up!” I scolded before blocking her from my thoughts.
Luke raised his eyebrow and took a threatening step toward me. “Oh yeah? Then whose pregnancy kit was that?” he asked, pointing at the positive pregnancy test.
I tried to stay calm, preventing my own heart from accelerating and giving away my lie.
At the peripheral vision of my eye, I saw Diana's quick action. She took a closer step to me, and answer on my behalf, “It's Ms. Fae's test, Alpha Luke. She must have left it when she came by. She wanted to be with Ms. Della, her bestfriend, while she take the test so she did it here. Ms. Della asked me to throw it away, but due to my laziness I left it on the sink. Please forgive me……”
Hearing Diana's word, Luke mockingly laughed and stepped back. “I see. Birds with the same feather do flock together. So she's a slut like you, huh?”
I instantlly shook at his words. I narrowed my eyes at him. “Don't go there…”
Talking badly about me was something I could handle, but Fae didn't deserve such words. She has done nothing wrong except being my friend.
“What? Am I wrong? As far as I know, she's mateless. How can a mateless she–wolf be pregnant if she wasn't whoring around?”
My first clenched and my teeth grinded as soon as I heard his slander.
I narrowed my eyes, and I'm pretty sure that it was already glowing with fury right now.
"Alpha Luke, I respect you very much. But," I said in a threatening tone and point my curse finger at him. I knew for sure he was a pathetic coward, he was afraid of me since the last time I hurt him. “You have no right to insult her! She's my bestfriend and she is nothing like you are calling her!”
Taking another step closer to him, I added, “Alpha Luke, it takes two to tango. Even if she's having an unexpected pregnancy, why should she be blame alone? Why should it always be the she-wolf's fault when it takes two to make a pup?”
“Fucking ridiculous!” I laugh sarcastically.
With a final step, making me just an inch away from him, I glared, and said with conviction, “Curse at Fae one more time, and I won't think twice of attacking you again, Luke!”
A man like him deserve no respect. Hell, a heartless wolf like he was who's power greedy couldn't even be describe as one. He's a monster!
It was evident how furious he became at that. Being a former alpha, he was dominant and egoistic. He didn't like being threatened nor spoken in such matter. As if I care!
He pushed my hand away, forcing me to take a step back, and shouted furiously, “You lowly insolent bitch! You fucking lost your backer the moment Albert left! How dare you come close to me!”
“Attack me? What makes you think you even stand a chance?” He took a step toward me, but I didn't back down. “A lowly omega like you don't even deserve to live here!”
After saying that, he pushed everything on top of the bedside table, knocking the lamp shades and other ornaments to the ground. Many items shuttered, making the small shards to fly on every direction.
The deafening sound of breaking also echoed on the four corners of the room.
Luke menacingly look at me. “Leave this guest house! You are not special guest to even set foot in here!”
“This… How dare–”
Diana took a step forward, blocking me from the flying shards. She was so angry that her claws were starting to show.
When I saw that she's about to attak, I held her wrist and pulled her back. Discreetly, I shook my head to tell her to stop.
She looked at me while she tried to control herself.
Obviously, she wanted to protect and fight on my behalf. I appreciate it, but right now, we shouldn't enter aunty conflicts.
We weren't at the kingdom, and my identity weren't known here. There would be no one to protect us but ourselves.
If it were any other day, I wouldn't think twice, but now that I had my pup on my belly, my power can be affected in unpredictable ways. I had to be more careful.
Luke's eyes narrowed as he look at Diana. Obviously, Diana's little movement didn''t got pass his senses.
WIth warning eyes, he glared at me. “Don't seduce a man who doesn't belong to you, omega!”
He didn't even say my name, as my status was so low that I didn't even deserve to have one.
With that, he turned around and left with his guards following closely behind him.
Luke even slammed the door shut on his way to show his anger.
Once he was out of sight, and once I was sure that he was far enough not to hear anything, I let go of Diana's wrist as I sat back down to my bed.
Diana exasperatedly look at me. She motioned toward the empty room, and said, “How dare he! He didn't even know who you are! How can he disrespect you like that? A lowly bitch? Fuck him! He's a mere alpha, and you're you! He deserve to kneel before you!”
She was so angry that she was pacing around while ranting with bottomless anger.
Diana scuffed and went on, “Omega? Huh! Once he knew who you really out, he'll regret it a million times. He'll wish he could cut his tongue off!”
As if she thought of a great idea, she stopped in front of me with a bright smile. “I know! We should punish him soon. Let him taste a Lycan's wrath! Let's torture him with Lycan's claws and sharp canines until he learns how to be polite!”
Okay… So as good as she was, she should really never be angered. She could be really scary. Damn!
I smiled a bit. Despite troubling situation, her reaction clamed me a bit. It's nice to know that there's someone like her who got my back.
“Okay, calm down now. Go and pack our things first,” I instructed. After all, Luke wanted us out, and with his instruction, we really had no choice.
She let out a sigh, “I say we should tell Prince Jackson and let him punish that bastard. But you have the final say, my princess. I'll pack our things as soon as possible.”
She paused before pointing at the pregnancy stick. “Should I still take care of that?”
I stared at the pregnancy stick and thought for a while before I shook my head. I took it, and held it tightly. “No need…”
Staring at the two red lines above it, I seemed to know what I should do now.
