Chapter One Hundred and Twenty Chapter One Hundred and Twenty I lay on the bed, wide awake.
I couldn't sleep, even with Alexander so close to me. This time, his presence offered no comfort; we were on the sbed but might as well have been worlds apart, the gap between us growing wider and wider with each passing day.
After he had fucked ine against the table, I managed to make my way back to the bed and attempt to sleep. Clearly, it wasn't working. I hadn't said another word to him, and he seemed to prefer the silence.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMy memories pulledback to an incident from a few years ago, back in the Dawn Pack. I remembered finding a woman in the woods-she was in so much pain. I tried to calm her down, but without being able to speak, she couldn't tellwhat was wrong. I finally convinced her to shift back, and the moment she did, she broke down in tears. I had thought something terrible had happened to her, but I was... disappointed to realize that all that agony was simply because she was having issues with her mate.
I had tried consoling her the best I could, because it was expected ofas the daughter of an Alpha, but deep inside, I saw her as weak; I could never imagine myself getting hurt by a man. That would never happen because I was going to be the Alpha, and no one could hurt an Alpha. Then, I was young and stupid, with big, impossible dreams.
Only now did I understand why the woman was in so much pain. Crying had never been something that ceasily to me, but I wish it did; I wanted to cry and release all the pain I felt inside.
WWW "Get ssleep, Kaida." The voice pulledfrom my trail of thoughts. It was Alexander, and those words alone were enough to send my heart racing. Was this what love felt like? Weakness? Somehow, I managed to fall asleep.
I had a strange dream about Aric drugging me; it felt more like a memory than a dream, but I knew it wasn't real; Aric would never do that.
If I thought those few words he said tothe other night meant we had begun making skind of progress, then I was wrong because the silent treatment continued, worse than ever. Perhaps if he could talk to me, I would have told him that I had been feeling very strange lately.
I threw up everything I had eaten. This had been happening for a few days now, and I wasn't sure if my body was reacting to the distance between my mate andor if it was something else-but it was only getting worse. All of a sudden, I was all skin and bones; my body refused to keep down any food. I might have to go to the healers if this persists.
"Luna!" Sarah called. “Are you alright?" she asked as she gently held my hair back.

She explained she had been very good with her duty as a maid; at the stime, she still managed her duties as a healer. Most times I had nothing for her to do, left to me; I didn't want to stress her; I could handle things on my own, but she seemed to like being here, so I couldn't send her away. At least not now that I literally have no one.
Aric still hadn't visited, and that was... strange.
"How long has this been going on?" Sarah questioned, quickly switching to 'Healer's Mode.' "I'm fine." 1/2 Chapter One Hundred and Twenty "You clearly aren't." "A few days." I admitted it.
"And you've not gotten a checkup?"
"I didn't think it was anything serious." The content is on Ex.com!
"Uhmm, have you been using the pills I gave you?" she questioned.
Uhmmm... No. I flushed it down the toilet the moment you were gone. "No." I answered.
"Luna, I think you are pregnant.
