Chapter 101 - The Betrayed Luna They Want
NICHOLAS’s POV..
As soon as those words left Enzo’s lips, I felt my whole life come to a standstill and I wanted to ask him how it was possible but he was gone before i could even say a word. How could she be pregnant for me? How was that even possible? Michelle never mentioned it to me so how come?
The more I think about it, the more confused I become.
Picking up my phone immediately, I dial Pete’s number and he answers.
“Tell them to get the jet ready, we are going back home”
I need to get to the root of the matter, how can Michelle be pregnant with my baby? I swear I am going to make Enzo pay if it is a lie.
I grab my jacket and hurry out of the hotel room and in no time, I am on my way to the airport. The thought of Michelle is lingering in my mind and I have never been more tormented than I am at the moment. If what Enzo said was true, the moon goddess needs to punish me for throwing her and my unborn child away. How could I do that and accept a child that didn’t belong to me in the first place.
“This could be our karma” my wolf says deep Inside of me but I completely ignore it, i just hope this isn’t true.
As soon as the plane lands, i order Pete to drive straight to the west side hospital.
Immediately Pete brings the car to a stop, I hastily alight and make my way into the hospital and towards doctor Mandy's office.
He is attending to a patient when I enter but that is the least of my problems right now.
“Master ” looks surprised to see me. Mandy is one of the wolves in my pack and that is why he readily becomes Michelle gynecologist since we began preparing for a baby.
“I want to speak with you” I tell him and he nods immediately before turning to the lady in front of him.
“Can you do well to excuse us?”
“Of course”
As soon as the woman is out, I return my focus to him again.
“What brings you here, Master?”
I run my fingers through my already disheveled hair,
“Was Michelle pregnant?” I ask him immediately and I see a look of confusion hovering over his face.
“Master, I…” his voice trails off.
“You are under oath, Mandy” I blurt out in anger, “don’t you
dare think of lying to me. Was your Luna pregnant? Were you aware of it?”
He is silent for a while but I can feel the fear emanating from him. He knows what I am capable of doing and I will not hesitate to sniff the life out of him if he dares to lie to me.
I take a hold of his neck and shove him against the wall, my wolf threatening to come out and tear him into a million pieces.
“Answer the motherfucking question” I yell into his ear, my anger skyrocketing in with each passing minute.
“Yes master” Mandy answers after a while, his eyes turning red, “Luna Michelle was pregnant”
My whole world comes crashing down and I see my life flash before my eyes. How can this be possible? How could she be pregnant? Why wasn’t I aware of it, how?”
“So why didn’t you tell me mandy?” I tighten my grip on his neck, “I am your master and you are under my command, how dare you hide such a thing from me?”
“I am sorry master” Mandy force the words out of his mouth, “she made me promise not to tell anyone not even you and I had to respect her wish since she didn’t want to let you know”
I let go of his neck and slump on his chair, pain and sadness emanating from me.
I can clearly remember on those days when Michelle would cry and beg the moon goddess go give her a child, on those nights when she couldn’t sleep because she thought she has failed as a wife and as a Luna.
All that suffering and the only thing I could do was give her divorce papers and send her away when she was with my child?
“I am sorry master” Mandy continues to speak again, “she was also going through a lot at that time. She developed a tumor which was a threat to her and the baby and I suggested an abortion but she would hear nothing of it,
she was determined to give birth to her baby”
“Why didn’t you fucking tell me?” I bellow in anger, “how could you hide something so important from me?
I also wanted a baby and that’s why i didn’t hesitate to let go of her.
Pulling my body out of the chair, I make my way out of the office with my head hanging in shame.I am the worst alpha to have ever been born, how could I throw her away when she had my baby growing inside of her and what more? She was battling a stomach tumor.
“Fuck!!!!
I lower myself on one of the chairs and bury my face in my hands. I don’t even know what to do at this moment. How can I ever face her again? How can I look her in the eyes and tell I love her?
I left her when she needed me the most, I left her when she was dying with my baby inside of her.
“You are pathetic right now” my wolf says inside of me, its voice full of sarcasm and mockery and i know for a fact that it is right, I must be the joke of the century.
I don’t know for how long I have been sitting here until a hand prods me and I look up to see Lucy.
“You are crying Nicholas” she tells me while perching on the space beside me.
I am unable to hold myself and I crash into her embrace and I allow the tears to fall freely. I have done the most evil thing under the moon and I wonder if I will ever be forgiven.
“Pete called me” Lucy tells me, “what happened? Why do you look so devastated, why..
“Michelle is pregnant for me” I drop the bombshell and I see how her eyes open wide as saucers.
“What do you mean, Nick?”
“The woman who was pregnant for me, who had my baby in her womb Lucy, I threw her out” the words hang in my throat.
How will I ever face her and ask her? I don’t know anything about what happened or how she pulled through her tumor.
“How did you know this, Nick?”
“Enzo told me himself and Mandy confirmed it”
“So the child in her womb belongs to you?”
“I don’t know Lucy, I rake my fingers through my hair, “i have to see her”
I spring up from my chair, “I have to see her and offer a sincere apology, “this time I have to take care of her and our baby, I won’t let any harm come to her again”
I make to leave but Lucy grabs a hold of my hand.
“First of all, you should clean yourself up Nicholas. You look a mess”
“I do not care”
“Of course you care!!” she yells at the top of her voice, “you are not some road side rat, you are Nicholas woodsborn and the goddess forbids that you behave like a tout. You and I know Michelle will not make it easy for you but she is carrying the heir to the pack and no matter what, it belongs to you”
“You don’t fucking get to tell me what to do, Lucy” I blurt In anger.
“Of course I do” she hisses at me, “you look a mess right now and I am the only one who can bring you to your senses. Look at you, crying because of Michelle. Our parents didn’t birth a weakling Nicholas. Go home and take a shower, you can be on your way to Los Angeles after that. Go with pride to take what rightfully belongs to you”
I keep staring at my sister for a while. I totally understand what she is trying to say and why she sounds so upset and rude. I can not blame her. I actually look like a mess, standing in the middle of the hospital with tears in my eyes and what more, I can also see pain in Lucy’s eyes, she used to love Michelle like a sister.
“Come home and take a shower please, Nicholas”
She begs again but I know deep inside of me she doesn’t literally mean a shower, she wants me to put myself together but how can I when my wife and my baby belong to someone else?
