Chapter 2

• Isabella
• “I'm pregnant Ethan. I did four different strip tests and three came out positive. We are having a baby.”
• “I have always known you were selfish, who doesn't care about the other person's feelings Isabella. Oh! And also power hungry and you will do anything to get that power.”
• “What?”
• “The last time we met was five or six months ago when you lost your father.”
• “Two months ago, I corrected it. You were a little tipsy and you wanted to get down with me and we didn't use any protection.
• I didn't know until it was too late, you have already ejaculated in me.”
• “I was drunk and you were sober and you just couldn't handle things well, the least I expected from you, was to tell me of our mistake, since I was in a rut".
• "A mistake? My heart sank as I heard Ethan's ruthless comment. Every moment I spent with him that night was amazing to me and all he would sum it up was a mistake. I swallow hard and continue. When I woke up the following morning, you were nowhere to be found and rumors had it that you went to the neighboring pack for a peace treaty, and you know how an omega like me going to the healer to ask for a post-pills will look like."
• Do you think I was happy when I found out I was pregnant?
• "I was so scared, to even talk to anyone about this was not easy for me knowing my place in the pack" I choked on my own words.
• "I love this child more than anything in the world, this is our baby and the moon goodness wants to use this and bless us, can't you see it's a sign of our love"?
• I however didn't know what I just said has triggered Ethan even more.
• "Sign of our love you say as he pulled his hands with an angry growl which surprised me even more. Have never seen him being this violent. Was I not clear enough when I told you we have to keep this a secret until I take over my father's position as an alpha"?
• Ethan Blackwood was a son of an alpha from Redwood pack and I was an omega, the least in the pack, the moon goddess fated me to an alpha and my secret crush was already surprising me with his attitude. Me and Ethan were best friends right from childhood, he always stood up for me when others tried to bully and shame me.
• "Now let me make this clear to you, I am getting married to the Star pack Alpha's daughter, I am going to make Dara my Luna. That's what I want and my father is already pressuring me to do the right thing for the pack.”
• “I can't make the same mistake my father did when choosing a Luna. You're being selfish, manipulative and unreasonable right now and trying to tie me down with a baby. But Isabella I won't make you my Luna, you knew the rules before we started our secret affair.”
• I couldn't believe my ears that Ethan, who always professes his love for me, would say all this to me. I felt so humiliated standing before him and denying his own flesh and blood.
• “Ethan I am…”
• “Alpha,” he boomed. “You call me Alpha because I am your Alpha.”
• “Alpha, I am carrying your seed. I never planned it . I am still your mate, Ethan. The moon goddess chose me for you for a reason.”
• “I can't be with someone like you Isabella, who will end up making my bloodline weak. And putting my heritage in danger. You knew I would never make you my Luna but you still chose to warm my bed.”
• “Ethan… Alpha you can't speak to me in such a manner,” I said as I silently cried.
• His words were like arrows targeting my heart and actually getting it targets. the moon goddess chose me for him, we were doing absolutely nothing wrong by warming each other's bed.
• “You should have behaved well and never gotten pregnant then I won't have spoken to you in that manner. I don't want anything to do with you or the baby. I can ask the pack nurse to take care of the little thing inside you".
• “Are you suggesting abortion, Ethan,” I asked as I looked at him through my watering eyes.
• I could not believe that he would ever suggest that, this was his baby too and the least he could do was to have a little emotion but he stood across me emotionless. This was not the man that I did spend my nights with. This was not the man who told me about the wonderful plans he had for their pack. This was not the man who told me about equality and how much he desires it for their pack. And this was definitely not the man who always makes sure that I get safely to my quarters every night.
• He shrugged his shoulders,” maybe.” And as if he was possessed, he became bolder and said, “yes we are getting rid of it and after that we go our separate ways.
• “Please Ethan… please,” I suddenly began to beg as if just realizing the situation I was in. Didn't want to lose him or even get rid of our child, a proof of our love.
• “You know what? Let's go right now.”
• “Go? Where to?”
• “To the pack healer. He's my friend, he won't tell anyone about it.”
• “Ethan, I am sorry,” I said with a shaking voice. “I don't want to abort this baby. I want to keep it. Please let me keep the baby. You can marry whoever you want and we can just be your secret family,” I said, trying to grasp any offer that I could think of.
• I still wanted to be with him and keep this baby, so I will gladly take any offer from him as long as it gives me the chance to be with him and keep this baby.
• His eyes quickly turn red, with his fangs raised. At that moment I realized that throughout our argument, I could not feel my wolf or his.
• “You are so selfish Isabella. The world does not revolve around you nor will it revolve around you now that you are pregnant. You know the elders have been on my case to marry from Star pack and you know how helpful it will be. Our pack will be stronger and more powerful with a Luna like her. Do you think I want this too? But we all have to make sacrifices for the good of the pack, that is what being a good pack member means. Come on I am taking you to the healer,” he said as he dragged her.
• I tried slipping out of his hand but his hand formed on my wrist. I couldn't help but use my eyes to plead for mercy while searching for his eyes but he didn't look at me, as he continued dragging me to an unknown quarters, I realized it was already dark and wondered how long they had spoken for.
• “Ethan,” I tried pleading again with my voice.
• “Isabella! Isabella!!” He called out once they were in front of the quarter.
• An unknown young male rushed out. His dark hair shining due to the dim light from the quarter.
• “Alpha, what brings you to the medic quarter tonight.”
• So this was the medic quarter, Isabella thought to herself despite her situation. She has never been here. She's been to the pack infantry but never the doctors and nurses’ quarter.
• “I need … I need help,” Ethan lightly stammered.
• This was the first time I was seeing an emotion from him since the beginning of our conversation. He looked unsure and said. I absently squeezed his hand with my other free hand, wishing to take away his pain.
• “I need an abortion herb or pill. Anyone you have,” he said, gaining his voice and confidence back.
• “For who… oh for her,” Chad asked as his eyes shifted from Ethan to me, his eyes were filled with questions but questions he could not ask.
• “Yes Alpha I will get it. Just give me some minutes,” he said before walking inside.
• “Ethan,” I called out trying one more time as soon as he freed my wrist. “I can give birth to the baby and it can be put up for adoption. Please Ethan let this baby live,” I pleaded weakly as tears streamed from my eyes.
• I was exhausted but I had to try one last time, to plead for my baby's life.
• “I can't let my bloodline be stained. How strong do you think the baby will be because it has an Omega as a mother. The baby will be weak, which will bring nothing but shame and threat to my leadership. The choice has been made, we are getting rid of it.”
