Chapter 48

It hurt more. There was a huge ball lodged in my throat that made it difficult to chock down my tear. In no time I was a sobbing mess, there was spit and snot everywhere. Aiden had left me, he said not to wait on him. This couldn't be happening to me.

I got up and cleaned the nursery, he didn't want to touch me. More tears spring from my eyes. Finishing off there, I go to kitchen but there is nothing I would like to eat. I just want to curl up in Aiden's arms and hide away from the world. But I I can't do that because he has left me. He has left me all alone.

I can't bear to sleep in my own bed. It smells of Aiden. I couldn't, I couldn't make myself go through that torture. Surrounding myself in everything Aiden wasn't a good Idea if I wanted to stop crying. It wasn't good for the pups that mommy was crying.

I felt so tired even though it was already midday. I had to lie down. Carrying a fleece to the living room, I set myself on the same settee that I was tied with my bra on. Come to think of it, he did say he wanted us to christen the house, and we did. Every space there is, we covered.

Running away from Aiden was pointless. This whole house was Aiden. Everything in here spoke of Aiden. I wasn't going to run away from his lingering presence, all I wanted was that he come back and tell me it was all a horrible dream. A nightmare that did not mean anything to anyone because everything was fine.

I wake up with a jolt as I feel sharp pains to my stomach. I feel dizzy and my forehead feels damp. I try to remember where I was, I was wrapped up and tangled in the fleece I had brought to the living room to take a nap. What time was it?

I swing my legs off the settee to go check the time. Making my way to the bedroom seemed hard work to me so I just went to the kitchen instead. I felt weak that my eyesight became a huge mass of blur. I had to get close enough to see the time on the microwave. It was just about 6.

Claire

"Shut up! don't you say another word Antony I'm warning you, I can't believe that stupid brat didn't die after all that misoprostol I feed her. If anything, those precious pups of hers would have died."

"Claire darling, you are overstressing yourself. I'm sure those pups will be easy killing if they are not in their mothers body. But I don't want you thinking of such. I want to celebrate that that hateful Alpha didn't catch you. Who knows what would have happened if his sticky paws got on you. I bet he wouldn't show mercy just like he didn't with poor John.

At the mention of her brother, Claire's eyes teared up. She moved away so that her lover would not see her tears. She was a woman who prided herself as a strong woman. She would never let a man see her tears. Once she thought she would, she thought that she would let the man she so dearly loved see her vulnerable. But that man deceived her. She thought that he was in love just like she was desperately in love with him.

She was a fool. He didn't love her, he was looking for a Luna. I wasn't a bitter person, so what he didn't love me, I was never the girl to believe in fantasies. It was no different now. He wanted a Luna and I happened to be the person he chose. Not entirely true, but it was still me.
