    - Cleo ~


    "You''ve done a test I take it?" Doctor Sophia asks me, as I sit in the chair on the other side of her desk. I was rarely in here nowadays,pared to my childhood.


    Sophia''s predecessor always on standby to soothe Mum''s worries from a simple cut or graze...the normality of childhood. If I thought I had it bad, then Ares was probably in here every day as the future alpha.


    Except for a paint job and some nts in the corner, theyout was the same.


    A bed to the side, with a curtain for privacy...a medicine cab filled to the rim, and the unsightly but necessary bins still stood near the exit.


    "Yes of course." I try not to let my frustration at my question get the better of me, of course I did a pregnancy test.


    "Sometimes they can be a false positive, especially human tests. Let''s try the old fashioned way shall we." Doctor Sophia hands me a small cup, her eyes shooting to the small toilet attached to her medical office.


    It would certainly make this a lot easier if I wasn''t, but deep inside I knew I was.


    It would exin so much over the past two months. How I''ve been more tired than usual, my appetite has been off...I just put it down to being busy. For overthinking how coldly I was jilted the morning after.


    But when my period hadn''te for a second month....I grew suspicious.


    I walk back towards her desk, taking a seat and cing the now filled cup on a small medical tray.


    Sophia takes a PH test strip before dapping it into the cup...her eyes watching keenly for the result.


    I have no idea what she is looking for, what colour it may turn but as she pulls the strip out and ces it under the desk light...a sigh escapes her. "Positive." She deres as she ces the test down and rips her surgical gloves off.


    "I need you to terminate it." I coldly respond, the sooner the better. I needed this nightmare to be over with.


    This dirty secret of mine gone.


    "Let''s just discuss things for a moment..."


    "There''s no need..."


    "If you are having sex you should havee to me, I could have given you contracepation." Sophia is a young doctor inparison to the male before her. Yes she was more approachable but even then, I don''t think seeing her first would have been on my thought process.


    I was so determined to lose my V card, I didn''t even think about protecting myself.


    "I''m not having sex...it was just a one time thing. A hang over from hell." I moan out, rubbing my temples with both hands.


    "Cleo..." She tries to softly appeal to me, but I can''t handle her kindness. I can''t have my decision changed.


    "Can you do it now?"


    “No, there are procedures I need to follow....I have a duty of care I need to adhere to.”


    "What does that mean?"


    "It means you might not be thinking straight. I need you to think about this...a termination is abnormal for our species. I need you to really think about this...to take the night."


    "The night?" I hiss out, exasperated by herck of urgency with the matter at hand.


    "I need you to think about it overnight, to see if you think differently in the morning. Hormones y a big part in the early stages of pregnancy..." "Don''t say that word..." I seethe out, my eyes darting to her closed office door.


    This office was secure, sound proof, it had to be as the alpha family doctor office but that still didn''t stop my paranoia from being overheard. "If it''s someone in this pack, a male..."


    "No, it''s..." I can''t believe I am going to do this. May the goddess forgive me but the barman''s face shes through my mind.


    If she thought the pregnancy was half human, she may be more agreeable to my needs.


    "He was human." I close my eyes, the lie tingling as it leaves my lips.


    "Oh." Surprised by my revtion, she leans back into her chair...her hands resting by her chin.


    "You understand now...I''m the daughter of the alpha, the first born. My parents won''t allow a hybrid into the pack, they just won''t...not as the alpha and luna."
