"Pregnant ?" My eyes popped as the words re-sounded in my head.

I stared right into Jenna's face with confusion. "Are you joking with me?" My face was dreadful and serious. 

"Well, we haven't seen each other in quite a while and we are supposed to be friends and I have every reason to do that out of anger.   

But fortunately for you, it turns out that professionals still exist and you my dear is staring at one of them."

That was her serious voice. I had mixed feelings. It was something that I had never thought of. I sure had headaches over the weekend but I had never thought of it as it pertains to this.

"What are you going to do about it?" Jenna's voice interspected with my thoughts. 

"Well, you know. I know everything that has been happening with you and Alpha Luke and I want you to know that whatever your decision will be! I will support you!" Jenna tapped me slightly on the shoulders with a weak smile.  

I needed that and I nodded. My hands caressed my womb, hoping that I was going to feel that little seed growing in there. Pardon me but it was my first time..

  After so many years of tolling, this is what I have gotten. A rare parting gift, not from Alpha Luke but from the moon goddess, my treasure.

  "I won't do anything to my child Jenna. He isn't paying for the sins of his father!" I continued to caress my stomach but I could see her smile mixed with her tears.  

"And Alpha Luke? What are you going to do about him?" Her words snapped me out of my fantasy.  

Multiple possibilities stormed right through my head. Alpha Luke has already gotten what he feels will make him happy for the rest of his life. 

And to him, whatever that happened that night was nothing other than a mistake that he wished to forget. A mistake that might even come in between his relationship.  

That would not be what he wanted. He might come after my child. The thoughts of it alone were enough to make me quiver.  

My eyes stared at Jenna with a sense of rising urgency. 

  "He must not know anything about it, Jenna. You have to help me and cover this up." I pleaded.  

"You don't have to beg me, Ariel. At least I know that you are doing the right thing and I am going to support you to the end!" She assured me.

  "I will go ahead with shoving any traces into the furnace where it belongs." She smiled and walked away even before I could appreciate her.  I felt my baby once again. Constant Determination flashed in my eyes. I was not going to allow his father to ruin him. 

"I'm going to be a father and a mother to you my child! And I promise that I am going to give you anything that you need!" I was assured.  

I was barely done with words when the door suddenly flew right open. It was Alpha Luke and the last thing that he would be here to do was to check up on me.

  "What do you want?" I shot the cold question first. 

His face connoted into a deep frown as he stared at me, wishing from that murderous stare that he could strangle me to death already. 

"Tell me! What game is it that you are playing?" His face morphed into a snare. 

"I don't know. Why don't you tell me, Alpha Luke?" I was beginning to act formally already.  

The words were enough to make him furious beyond comprehension but I had stopped caring about him a while ago. 

  "If you think that this sick act of yours is going to stop the bond-breaking ceremony. Then you must be a joke!"

  "I never planned for it to!" I replied with a stale look. 

  It was painful to think that he did not even care about how I felt or the pain that I was going through. He only wanted to be with his one true love, treating me even worse than the Alpha is supposed to treat an Omega. 

"Great! Since we are on the same page! I will get the doctor to bring over your file and discharge you as soon as possible!"   My heart almost jumped out of my chest. I knew that this wasn't going to be good for my baby. I was trying to act strong but these reflex actions were difficult to control.

   What if something goes wrong? What if Jenna wasn't done settling the files already? I should not allow him to find out anything about my child.

  A familiar presence walked right into the past the door into the room. Jenna was now in her cold professional looks. One of the stares that I knew would be more than enough to inspire death. 

"And I was told that you requested for me, Alpha Luke!" Her chin was high up in the air as she spoke. 

"Yes! I need Ariel's file. If her pain isn't severe or at least would allow her the ability to walk out of this place, then I want her discharged immediately." 

  Jenna was trying to hide all the emotions that were fighting through her. She wanted to give the Alpha her two cent, but she dared not do any such thing... 

She had the file with her and it was presented to Alpha Luke who as an untrained medical practitioner decided that I was more than fit to be discharged.  

"We should start going!" He sneered at me after everything had been prepared.

   It was quite obvious that he didn't know a thing about the Pregnancy. Jenna must have done her charm on it.  

As we were walking off from the hospital the weight of our luggage was drowning me down, an old lady was rushed in.  

She was in a critical position with a hole right through her head. Even though I wasn't a doctor, I could easily tell that this one would not be able to survive it. 

However, there was a sense of familiarity roaming around this person. But I could hardly tell as there was a cloth blocking almost every part of the lady's body apart from her forehead which had all grayed out. 

My eyes picked up the earring that was picked out from the cover. Memories of it rushed through my head.  

My grandmother who was the reason for my marriage with Alpha Luke was one of the loveliest souls that I have met on the surface of the earth. 

  Her love for me was beyond anything that I could imagine, grooming me into the beautiful woman that I had become.

Andthat earring, I could swear that it belonged to her. 

  My heart raced so did my legs towards the stretcher. For the first time in my life, I didn't care about anyone.  

The doctor was caught too short to even try and stop me as I yanked the clothes off her body and every single system in my body shut down. I saw Nii Noami lifeless. The patches of my world that she held together with her love came crashing down under my ferial shoulders.
