Chapter One Hundred and Twenty One


    Chapter One Hundred and Twenty One


    Nothing in the world could have prepared me for that news Sarah''s eyes held nothing but sympathy. I should have taken the pills. Now it was toote.


    I wasn''t ready; I wasn''t ready to train a child. Damn, I couldn''t even control myself; how am I expected to raise a child?


    I began panicking. "I can''t-it can''t be; there''s too much of the line; I can''t be pregnant." The words came out in a panicked whisper.


    "We haven''t run any tests yet; I''m only speaking based on the visible signs; we are not yet sure of anything till we run a test." She exined to me, and I nodded, but I could barely understand any word she was saying.


    I paced around my room, waiting for Sarah to bring the results. She had asked me to pee in a cup for the test; I didn''t even mind how awkward it was-I didn''t care. Please let her be wrong. If she is wrong, I would ask her for those pills and stay regr with them.


    Anytime I closed my eyes, I imagined myself getting big and round. I couldn''t fight with a child in my stomach.


    I could never be an Alpha.


    I always thought my childish dreams were dead, but the truth was that I had only managed to lock them away at the deepest parts of my mind; that didn''t mean they were all gone. I had wanted that ever since I watched the soldiers train. I was never meant to be like the other women who had to spend their lives bearing children and raising them.


    Sarah walked in; from the look on her face, I could guess what she was about to say.


    "I''m really pregnant, aren''t I?" I asked, and she passed me the result.


    "A few weeks pregnant, Luna."


    "I can''t..."


    "There is another option."


    "What option?" I asked, my eyes wide with hope.


    "You can abort it. No one would have to know about it."


    Abort it. Kill an innocent child. I would never do that.


    "No, I can''t do that. I will keep it."


    Her mouth dropped open. "What? But you can''t keep it... You have so much at stake; see this as a sacrifice for the greater cause."


    "I will keep it." I repeated, my voice sounded bold and sure and that was surprising seeing as I felt theplete opposite. "Thank you very much for your help, you may leave Sarah."


    She gave a slight bow before turning to leave. She seemed angry; I could understand her. She knew exactly what was on my mind, and she might actually believe she was trying to help me, but I would never kill my own child.


    The moment she was gone, I let go of every bit of bravery I had held onto; I let the tears stream down my eyes. I didn''t know how long I stayed crying, but the door opened once more, alerting me that Alexander had just returned from work. Unlike every other day, when he would walk past me like I didn''t exist or I was some ghost,

    this time he stopped right in front of me.


    "Are you alright?"


    Alright. Of course, I wasn''t; when I thought things couldn''t get any worse, they did; they got worse, life... was a disaster.


    and now my


    "I''m pregnant."


    I hadn''t wanted to spill it to him just yet-I would have kept it to myself till I was ready-but I couldn''t. I wasn''t strong enough. I needed his support... I needed him now more than ever. But my words were met with silence.


    I stared up at him, unable to read his expression.


    "Say something." I said to him, on the brink of losing it, "Damn it, say something."


    "Whose child is it?"


    He did say something, but his words shattered me into a million pieces. Tears poured down my face as I tried to speak, but no words came.
