What the hell?
With a smile on my face, I stared at Hawk who just glance back at me as if we have been takenninto another world. At this point, if I wake up form, I will confirm that my missing mate, her Lycan statue, Olivia, Brook, and my father’s sin are all a bad dream.
Lemme just say Olivia would still not be my mate but I would be happy with Rain and I won’t have raped her.
Closing my eyes for a few seconds, I imagined something I have never thought about in my whole life.
‘What if I was never born?’.
Fact!
If I wasn’t born, all this happening to me won’t have happened.
Staring blankly at Hawk, I nodded at him.
‘I want to have a word with Axon and Alaric alone’ I mind-linked him.
Immediately, he looked at his mate, I bet he must have told him and they walked away together. Making sure I no longer hear their footsteps or perceive them, I closed the office windows and stared blankly at Alaric.
He has this expression as if he suddenly no longer trusts me or has something I have no idea about.
“You know what Rain is,” I said to him.
Alaric wasn’t good at lying, I can’t tell of he had lied to anyone before but as long as I am concerned, he had not tried to lie to me except now. His blank expression homed on my face as he said what I initially expected.
“Rain is a werewolf like us, Alpha,” Alaric said.
Why I never expected him to say this was because I doubt he would lie to me to my face.
“You treated her, you took her samples, I have seen you lots of times, keeping separate research about her,” I said to Alaric “Would you still look your Alpha in the eyes and tell me that you have no idea what she is?”.
I felt angry.
What if he betrays me?
I have trusted him with the life of my park members and that of my mate and yet he lied to my face. I have even laid down myself and the same? What if he even kills Mira or does something evil to her?
At this point, I don’t know who to believe. If Olivia can keep this, forget the mate bond, forget that she would be a Luna and only want my lineage dead, who am I that a mere doctor can not betray me?
My gaze moved to Axon who stared at me and Alaric as if lost in the middle of something. In the silence, he cleared his throat awkwardly and flattened the invisible wrinkles on his shirt.
“I am so sorry, Alpha” Alaric suddenly said, “I should have talked about this on time but I have done a lot of mistakes already and I wasnt sure she is real because she has the last of her kind”.
I know that.
Seriously, I can’t blame him because I did try to hide it too. If I didn’t tell him, what made me believe he would be free to tell me?
“You can punish me Alpha” Alaric quickly went on his knees “If you find out later, you will not forgive me”.
Weird.
Mere looking at him seems like a suicidal plan for me. If I eventually punish him now, I bet Alaric would nig survive it. Moreover, he is the best doctor now and I can’t afford to lose him.
Instead, I just glared at him.
In unison, we looked at Axon and then back at ourselves. Axon wasn’t like the silence as I can see but he seems more interested in Alaric than I do.
“What are you staring at him like that?” I asked Axon.
Deep down, I feel like they have something to do together. Maybe he has been working for Axon and telling them stuff about me. The shameful or let me say worried look on Alaric’s face made me confused.
“You both work together?”.
“The luna is a week pregnant the last time I checked her,” Alaric said.
I didn’t flinch because I was surprised, I flinched because Axon clapped his palms together all of a sudden.
“I knew it!” He yelled.
“Knew what?” I immediately asked.
As if he was then getting to his senses, Axon moved his fingers through his hair and shrugged.
“My park’s doctor’s lab result,” Axon said “You know before I was sure she was at the park, I saw a lab result proving Rain a pregnant Lycan and the implications of her pregnancy”.
Why on earth are there new stories?
Turning to Alaric, I glared at him as if he was the one that got her pregnant. Deep down I hope he would tell me that there are no implications but I was joking.
“A Lycan can only get pregnant for their kind, they can never get pregnant for a werewolf but since you uhm….” He paused for a while “Alpha, it’s confusing and all the research I have made states that she will die”.
The terror on his face seems clear but he still acts dumb and tried to fake a smile. Shaking his head as if he has no idea of what he is talking about, he walked toward me.
“I am sorry Alpha, I could not get myself to tell you the sad news ahead of time”.
This sounds funny, and that’s why I am laughing.
Of course, I had no idea why I did that too and I am not ready to cry because that is what I what to do.
Good thing Mox didn’t say anything. He just understand and remained silent beforehand.
“What if we kill the baby now?” I asked.
“The baby can only be killed before he reaches two months and unfortunately, it already passes two months,” Alaric said, “Lycan babies grow at a very abnormal age so, in order words, The baby would be due in the next to months”.
I stared at Axon who looked shocked, his jaw dropped as he narrowed his gaze and turned to me from Alaric.
He must have thought about what he wanted to say because I can still see the unwillingness on his face.
“Since Lycan grow fast, does that mean they die fast?” He asked.
How was I supposed to know?
I frowned at him as he immediately pointed at Alaric.
“They stop aging at the Age of 25,” Alaric said “In other words, they are eternals who can change anyone to a werewolf and live as gods”.
I k the last part, Alaric disbt have to say it so she would look as if he had done something really good. My gaze then return to Axon who still did not look calm. He grinned stupidly and hid his arms behind him.
“That means Rain is not up to 24 since Lycan grows fast,” He said, “is she even up to 20?”.
