Chapter 59 RED TRUTH
Medea's POV
"Ugh.... I don't like this one either!" I screamed throwing the catalog across my room until it hit the wall and fell to the carpeted floor.
Then I flung my neck today and packed a seamstress, a vein popping in my forehead.
"The celebration is only a week away, and yet you can't find me one suitable design to receive the blessing of the others..."
I planted my hands on my hips facing her squarely.
"Perhaps you don't want me to be dressed properly, maybe you want me walking out looking like a hag. Don't you?"
She quickly fell to her knees.
"No lady, Medea I didn't..."
My eyes transformed into slits of fury.
"Did you just call me Lady have you forgotten that I am your Luna?" I kicked her by her side and she still fell crying and begging like a fool. I kept kicking her until I felt satisfied then yelled for the guards to come and pick her up.
"I'll find another seamstress, one that respects me for now, get this one out of my face," I said waving her off and they dragged her away as she continued to plead the eclipse. My sister watched all of this quietly sitting in a corner of my room twiddling with her fingers. I came over to her with my hands wrapped together.
"What?" I spat at her.
"Aren't you going to criticize me as usual?" I demanded to know, she was still on thin ice with me as far as I knew but she wasn't acting that way.
Unlike the seamstress that was just dragged out I couldn't hit her and she was still my sister and I didn't want to do that but she was really pushing me to the ends of my patience.
She stopped twisting with her fingers and without looking at me she asked; "Medea what are you going to do when he finds out?"
I felt half of the blood leave my face and almost wanted to collapse. Instead, I leaned towards the closet using the wooden furniture as a support.
"Find out about what?"
She was not looking at me, her lips drawn to a tight line.
"Don't play around sis, we both know you're not pregnant right now and that's why you're panicking and taking out your anger on people. The celebration is coming soon. And you know the Elders have that gift that allows them to access the health of a child. How are they going to do that if there is no child, hmmm?"
I gulped thinking about it, I had never experienced it before but I had seen it when that witch still held my title. It was a public display. There would be a mat laid out and as one Elder prayed for the blessings of the Moon goddess the others would come gently massaging her belly directly wishing health on the child they were able to tell early because of this if there was life at all growing within.
And now there is just a week away.
What would Raphael do to me if he found out?
I have used this pregnancy to get out of a huge problem and afterwards, I continue to use it to my advantage by having him buy expensive designer wear and accessories.
It wasn't just that I had assumed my full position as Luna now as I felt like no one could disrespect me. I spoke as freely as I should have from years ago when the title was officially passed on to me.
"Eclipse..." cold out my sister's name not really sure what to say my hands were trembling so much I could barely keep them still until I held him together and squeezed this was becoming more and more real with each passing day it was in just a nightmare I could blink myself out of up plug a piece of my skin until I was awake once again just like I had planned they were fertility treatments lots of them and I had to do them this greatly so that I was not exposed because what kind of pregnant woman with need fertility treatments in the first place?
I didn't want to believe that she had made that mistake and it had affected me.
For the past few days, Raphael and I have been going at it like wild rabbits. I haven't given him a moment of rest and we were even scheduled to do it in a few hours after he was done with a weekly patrol of the borders.
But nothing was working and...
Suddenly I felt a curdling in my lower area and a strange moistness forming between my legs followed by a small wave of pain. A good guess was that dread was filling me. I brushed past my sister into the bathroom and pulled the drawer of my underwear to confirm my greatest fear.
There was a red stain there signifying that my monthly flow had started an undeniable evidence that I was most likely not pregnant.
I tore off my panties, threw them to the side, and collapsed on the tiled floor just crying.
Why? Just why was this happening to me?!
The only thing I've ever wanted in my entire life was a family that loved me and to live a comfortable life. I lost my parents when I was young so I deserve at least this. I should be able to be happy now. Why is everything so hard for me?
But that woman... Why does she get everything?!
First, she was with an alpha and now she has moved on to the Lycan King as his fiancée, she's always living life on easy mode getting the best of everything while people like me always have it hard.
Eclipse entered the bathroom and walked in on me crying like a child. I couldn't help it.
She placed a hand on my shoulder looking directly into my eyes and said; "Medea I have a plan but this time you have to listen to me... understand?"
I nodded.
I couldn't lose again.
