The morning sickness hit me like a physical blow, a violent reminder that Kael had left more than just memories inside me. What do you mean i am with child?
I gripped the edge of the stone, my knuckles white. Flynn didn't look up from the fire. It means exactly what it sounds like, Lyra. You're pregnant.
I stood there confused and enraged held my stomach, how could i let this happen? How could this happen to me? Then it occurred to me, this wasn't the plan, we wanted to get married, to start a life together but all that changed in a blink of an eye, no not a blink of an eye, Kael had all this planned from the beginning, i have always wondered what he saw in an omega like me, i couldn't transform, i couldn't join a pack, i was the lowest rank member but he chose me, little did i know he used me.
But this child changes things, i need to see him, we need to talk.
I forced Flynn to arrange a secret meeting at the border but he objected, no we just escaped from them, from him and now you want to go back to see him? No way! I didn't risk my life and sacrifice my future nor become a fugitive for this, just to walk into a trap. But i needed to see the truth in Kael's eyes before the Order found us, before anything else i just need to hear it from him. And now that a child is involved, he deserves to know, maybe he will have change of heart and convince the elders and his parents.
I am not a bad person, he knows this. At this stage tears are already rolling down my face. You know this Flynn, am i a bad person? Even though i have been discriminated against all my life and seen as the black sheep, i have never for once talked back or act out, but now from that pitiful life i am now being hunted and also with child? How do i do this Flynn, because i can't do it alone. I need to know why, why....why me!
Flynn agreed to set up a meeting but under one condition, he will not let me out of his sight, not for a second.
Kael arrived under the cover of a storm, his Shadow unit circling the perimeter like hungry ghosts. I see you got my message and i remember asking you to come alone Flynn said. You won't see her until they're gone. I see my suspicions are right, so you are the one at the altar, you took her. I was wondering where my best mate was on the day of my wedding to his sister. How did you know what was going to happen Flynn? Did you know all these years she was an original?
I no longer answer to you, you betrayed us and our friendship. Call them off and let's talk, you're Alpha we can't even hurt you if we tried, oh but you've tried once haven't you? She attacked me at the wedding! How can I trust you? Because i am pregnant! Lyra replied. Kael signaled to the shadow and they left.
When I told him about the life growing inside me, I expected the man who used to share his bread with me to soften, to fight for us. Or at least for his innocent child, Kael i am sorry about the wedding and trying to hurt you. But you know that wasn't me, i have never transformed before and it was as if i was being controlled. You know i would never do anything to hurt you, this was all a mistake. After i overheard you and your father talk about using me, i fell apart and my whole world crumbled, when i asked you, you showed no remorse but i feel the Order and your parents might be manipulating you just like i was at the wedding, then i lost control.
Instead, he stepped back as if I had struck him, his voice cold as he claimed that no "Original" could carry a pure Alpha's heir. Your child is an abomination, you are an abomination, an omega, now a rogue. I don't know what i ever saw in you. You and your child are harbingers of death and destruction and i want nothing to do with the both of you. I suggest you get rid of that child before it's too late.
It was in that moment of rejection that the title of our tragedy became clear: I was the Forbidden Bride, and my child was a "Ghost" before it was even born. The tragedy that befell my mother is now mine and again passed down to my child. This curse, this burden of blood, i didn't ask for it, never for once have i enjoyed my life and that only seem to be getting even worse by the minute.
He didn't just deny the child; he warned me that the next time we met, he would be forced to follow the Order's command. But has he said this, i noticed a faint blue ring in his eyes, it light up for just a second and has he turned he said. For the sake of what we shared, this child and everyone else safety i hope you do the right thing. But as from now onwards when me meet it will be as foes, i will do everything to protect my Clan because that's what Alphas do. I will do you this last favour as a show of Goodwill, leave here, run far away, because as of now you are being hunted and it's dead or alive
