Chapter 35

It has been a week since moon day. Aiden has been home more, and we've spent a lot of time tangled up in each other. But his duties still needed his attention. He couldn't just keep letting his beta stride handle everything. That would be so incompetent of him. As alpha he still needed to attend to meetings where decisions are made about the pack.

Today was one of the days he had to go in, I took this as an opportunity to get out of the house myself. First I started with the garden, the flowers hadn't bloomed yet but when they did, the place looked magical. I imagined the little pup running around and having fun. I wanted the pup to be a boy. Aiden would say that a girl with my green brown eyes and ginger hair would be nice.

I know that it was kind of different that me, the Luna had hair as thick as a bear's and it was ginger. Of all colors, ginger. Most Lunas had white hair, beautiful, and if she didn't it was common that most Lunas bleached their hair to have that iconic Luna look. I wasn't doing such madness.

I liked my hair this color. And if I was to change a lot about me just so I could fit the criteria of Luna, then I didn't want it.

Walking through the garden to the playground near by, I take my seat at a park bench and simply watch the pups play around. "excuse me, may I join you?" I look back to examine the woman who sounded so gentle and polite. But she wasn't a woman, she looked like a girl about my age. She had black hair that reached her waist, her eyes where a blue shade going on grey. "sure" I gesture for her to take a seat.

"Sorry if I interrupted you or anything" she said in her sweet and calming voice. I didn't really mind her presence "oh no, you didn't interrupt anything, by the way, my name is Bella" She smiles " of course you are, everybody knows who you are." She didn't make it sound sinister so I was ok with that.

After a few moments of looking at her she apologizes and tells me that her name is Dina, wife of our beta stride. This shocked me, I didn't know that our beta was married. Especially to this beautiful looking woman right here. She also told me that she did not belong to this pack and that here and her husband met at the mating festival. She like me, had also just recently turned 18. She was expecting too. She said that she was due the coming month. The thing about werewolves is that the period we would hold our pups in our tummies is much lesser than that of a human.

Dina seemed like a nice person, we chattered on and on about everything and nothing. She was a pretty nice girl and she seemed not to hate me like the rest did. We exchanged numbers promising each other to talk on the phone.

I quickly make my way home to get started on dinner. Dinner was nice tonight. Earlier when Aiden came back home, he seemed to be in a mood. He didn't want to tell me the details. He just said that he got irritated because he heard those same rumors about me still circulating. Oh no, I was afraid that he might have done something to someone. Looking at my expression, he quickly assured me that no one was hurt by his hand but some were by his beta's hand.

Our beta seemed to also have a black temper. That's when I remember about Dina. She didn't look like an abused lady, so I guessed that Patrick's case might be similar to my Alphas problem. Wow, an Alpha with a beta stride who had the same problem in anger. I thought it was cute.

I made a mental note to remember to contact Dina. Tomorrow, now, now I had to feed my husband's growing lust. Nowadays we were going at it like animals, come to think about it, we were animals. Hungry animals.

Days go by and by, with each day I felt stronger than weaker. To think that a werewolf expecting gets weaker and weaker sounded more and more ridiculous to me as I advanced into my pregnancy. My stomach was bigger now, youd think that I was almost due but in fact I had a month and a half to go to complete my 3 months of pregnancy.

One afternoon while I was working in the nursery, not that I hadn't finished of things in here, no, in fact the whole place was set up. I just didn't like being idol. I felt a sharp pain in my stomach, and then some movements. I couldn't help but think that something was happening to my baby.

Making quick work of dressing up, I headed out towards the woods where I knew Francis's house to be. On my way there, I take out my phone and dial Aiden's number. He picked up at the second ring "Bella? Is everything ok?" I told him everything was fine that my tummy just felt funny but I had it under control.

Me knowing Aiden and his protective tendencies I knew he wouldn't take this lightly but I assured him that it was nothing. Reaching the house, I knock, and a voice from inside tells me to enter. The house was welcoming, I guess it was so to make anxious to be mothers comfortable.

The woman inside was just as welcoming, beaming at me she asked " What graces bring you here my lovely Luna?" I tell her of the pain I felt in my stomach and that it happened again. She told me to lie down on my back on the same mat as last time.

She felt around my tummy and the expression that was on her face was of pure astonishment.
