51. Pregnant.

Narrator’s POV.

With a gasp, Daphne stood up from the bed and ran into the bathroom, throwing her head into the toilet bowl as she felt her dinner from last night come back up.

This had been going on for almost a week now; she would wake up to vomit every morning, she assumed she was sick but was just too tired to reach out to the doctor for clarification.

She brushed her teeth and washed her face, then sluggishly went back to the room. The bed was empty as usual, ever since that day, they had both been giving each other the silent treatment. She was too afraid to talk to him, while he was too ashamed to talk her.

When his anger washed away, he realized the heaviness of what he had done to her. He immediately regretted his decisions but still could not talk to her.

She laid down on the bed, contemplating whether or not she should visit the doctor. Her sickness had gotten worse and she was sure she had not caught the flu as it was impossible for a werewolf to have it, also, werewolves never stayed sick for long. Was something wrong with her?

Standing to her feet once more, she put on a jacket and left the room, heading straight to the castle infirmary.

“Good morning, your highness”, the nurse bowed as Daphne walked through the doors,

“Good morning, is Doctor Raven in?”, she asked,

“Yes, he is, do you have an appointment?”, the nurse asked her, picking up the home phone to ring up the doctor,

“I did not think I needed one”, Daphne tried not to snap at the woman; she was only doing her job, but Daphne started to crave a seat as she became dizzy, “I need to see the doctor now, please”,

The nurse dropped the phone and nodded, “Very well, your highness. Right this way”, she led Daphne to the doctor’s office,

“Thank you”, Daphne said dismissingly, she knocked on the oak door and walked in, leaving the nurse outside.

“Your highness”, Doctor Raven stood up to welcome the queen, “I was surprised to hear that you were here, hope nothing is the matter”,

“I hope not, Doctor Raven”, she sounded unsure, she really hoped that there was nothing wrong with her, she could not afford to be sick at the time, but then again, werewolves do not get sick.

“So, can you tell me what the problem is?”, he urged her to sit down and she thankfully did so,

“I really can not say what exactly is the matter with me “, she began, “All I can tell you is that, I have been vomiting a lot lately, especially in the morning”, she felt like hurling all over again just by talking about it,

“Do you get dizzy? Irritated by food you usually eat?”, the doctor asked her as he pulled out her file, he had a guess or theory of what could be wrong with her, but first, he needed her compliance.

“Yes, I actually do, now that I think about it. Do you know what could be wrong?”, Daphne was both eager and desperate to know what was wrong with her, she prayed it was only food poisoning and not what had recently just crossed her mind.

‘’I think you might be pregnant”, the doctor said the dreaded words, the words she did not want to hear for a very long time,

“That is impossible”, she quickly waved it off, she could not be pregnant, it was too early for her to be showing symptoms, way too early.

“I am afraid it is not, your highness”, the doctor stood up from is chair and brought out a test tube, “We will be able to tell with a urine sample, would you pee in this tube?”, he was hoping she would not say no, he also wanted to know whether his theory was correct or not; if she was pregnant, that means there was finally a heir to the throne. He would be the one to deliver the baby, that was a great honor.

“I know that I am not pregnant, but I will pee in the tube to prove it”, she snatched the tube from him and went into the toilet that was joined to the office. With great difficulty, she managed to pee in the tube, hoping that the doctor was wrong.

She was not ready for a pup, especially with the way that things were going with she and the alpha king, having a pup right now was definitely not in the picture.

She left the toilet and handed the doctor the tube, “You will be disappointed”, she hoped. No, she prayed. She could not be pregnant, she was only twenty-two, how many women even get a mate that early?

A few minutes later, the doctor came back with a triumphant smile on his face, “Your highness”, she quickly stood up,

“I told you I was not pregnant”, she laughed, mirroring his smile,

“No, your majesty, you are indeed pregnant, hence the smile on my face”, the doctor sang, placing the report on the table in front of her. The wight of the situation came crashing down on her and she took a seat, taking the papers in her small hand,

“This can not be”, tears brimmed her eyes as she read the reports that told her she was indeed one hundred percent and positively pregnant, “It is impossible, we just did it last week”, she looked up at the doctor, waiting on a solid explanation as to why she was carrying a pup in her stomach.

“The alpha king is the most powerful wolf in the whole world, everything for him is faster than the average wolf, including this. His sperm is very powerful, it could take only a minute to form a fetus once it meets with one of your eggs”, he explained to her.

She recalled the first time they had had sex with each other; she remembered him asking her where he should drop his load, she remembered her sex drunk voice telling him to spill inside her. If only she had known, she would have never let him cum inside her over and over again.

But what was done was done. She was pregnant and there was nothing she or anybody could do about it. Taking the baby out was not even an option as it was frowned upon by all and was also illegal by the lycan laws.

“Also, note that the baby is due to be delivered in three months”, the doctor added making Daphne surprised,

“Three months?”, she had never heard of it, a baby getting delivered in three months, it was always six, three months was just absurd!

“This is the pup of the alpha king that we are talking about, the child takes less time to grow in its mother”, he explained further. Why was everything so different with him? Alpha king this, alpha king that. Why could she not just be mated to a normal werewolf? Not that she did not love Dwayne, but his post was slowly ruining her.

She had no time to prepare for the pup on the way, but luckily for her, she had a mate that would do anything for her; although he had acted like a jerk, she was ready to forgive him for the sake of their unborn pup.

“I can not wait to let everybody know”, the doctor said out,

“No! I will tell who I want, when I want. Do not even think about telling anybody about this meeting, especially the alpha king”, she warned him, “Please”, she did not want it to sound like she was threatening him, but she really did not want him to blab to anybody about this.

“Very well then”, he bowed at her and she left the infirmary deep in her thoughts,

What was she going to do? Was she meant to tell him immediately? Was she meant to wait a couple of days? All of this was extremely new to her, she did not understand a thing.

Her hand went to her stomach in disbelief, there was actually a living creature inside of her, alive and growing. How was it possible that a baby could fit itself in her tiny body? Did she have to start eating more? Should she set weekly appointments with the doctor? What were the dos and don’ts of being pregnant?

She became frustrated, how was she supposed to be pregnant when she did not even know all these things?

With a sigh, she headed towards her mate’s main office, she was sure he was there, he had to be there. She had to tell him about this whether they were on talking terms or not.

She pushed the door open without knocking, she immediately regretted that decision or any other decision she had made since the day she met him.

“What the fuck is going on here?!”.
