Chapter 93 Annual Lunas Meeting?

• Abijah P.O.V
• Gasping, I turn to her. "I didn't know that! Are you serious?!" I almost shout, stunned, causing the other Lunas that were still on the phones to turn to me with irritated looks. Embarrassed, I whisper a sorry. Toya looks apologetic but stern. "Yes, I'm serious. For the Ritual to be completed. You have to be Marked, Mated, and Pregnant, Abijah." I sigh, defeated. My head fell back to the top of the sofa. Breathing heavily, staring at the ceiling. Oh, God, Seriously!? "Jeez. I'm not sure if I am. I haven't checked or anything. And although I'm not really wanting to get pregnant yet. Tank is very persistent! But now I know I don't have much of a choice." I dropped my head into my hands, closing my eyes. I feel like crying. I whisper, "It's like I don't have a choice in anything anymore..." How did my life get so out of my control? So... unexpected? Unpredictable?
• I feel a hand on mine and looked up. It was Toya. She came and sat next to me, but she looked very uncomfortable sitting on this sofa. She reassures me quietly, "Look, I know it's hard right now for you. With everything happening all at the same damn time. But for real, he will slow down a lot once you are pregnant." I looked at her despairingly and my voice cracks a bit while asking. "You sure?" She nods at me, assuringly wrapping me in a snug hug. "Yes, I'm sure, Abie." She whispers. I sigh a breath of relief and smile. I hugged her back and kissed her cheek. "Thank you, Toya." "Are you gonna be okay now?" She looked like she genuinely wanted to know, and I appreciated her concern for me. And I believe I will be okay... eventually. I nod. "Yes, I'll be okay." She seems satisfied. "Okay."
