Rosalyn’s POV I can’t feel anything. I am in a dark room. It feels as if I am engulfed by the darkness. I walk and walk trying to find something and there I see a light coming from a door. I walk towards it and with some courage that’s left in me and the curiosity to see what’s on the other side of the door, I walk through the threshold into a world that seems like it came out of some fairy-tale. There is a huge garden in front of me. it's filled with all kinds of flowers. Its surrounded by huge oak trees. I walk on the rosewood pavement around the garden taking a tour of it. I think this is heaven. At last, I died and left the awful place. I look above at the sky; the weather is cloudy and it looks so beautiful. A cool breeze with the scent of roses blows around me. I am just walking away when I see a beautiful waterfall that forms a big lake like a puddle and flows into a river. It seems I have a connection with waterfalls. (hehe just a joke). I run towards it and sit near the water. Water always had a calming effect on me. I am just enjoying the calmness, the peace it brings to my mind and somehow, I feel myself lying on the soft grass and falling asleep listening to the sweet lullaby of the water.
After some time; when I wake up I feel a soft warm hand caressing my hairs. My once open hairs are now braided properly. I look up at the owner of the hand and find a beautiful young lady sitting on the grass and smiling at me. She looks at me with so much love and affection, it brings tears to my eyes. She has an angelic face and blue eyes with black-brown long hairs that are in a braid-like mine. She is wearing a long white gown that looks so alluring and beautiful. Everything about her is so beautiful and pleasing. She has a motherly aura around her that is so soothing. I sit up and look into her eyes. She smiles brightly and opens her arms as if welcoming me in an embrace. I grab the opportunity and hug her. the feeling of bugging someone is so different and pleasant, it’s the first time I am being hugged and that too after my death. Wow isn’t that amazing? “hush my child. Don’t cry. You will be alright. Everything is going to be ok.” She whispers in my ear. Her voice is so melodious and sweet. I wasn’t even aware that I was crying. She breaks the hug and wipes my tears away. “I know everything about you, my dear. And I am so sorry you had to go through it. But it was necessary my dear child.” I look at her in confusion and she just smiles in return and says “I know everything, my dear. I know everything you have gone through. I have felt your pain. But my dear everything is going to fall into pieces you don’t have to worry about it.” I am more confused than ever. Is she an angel? “how do you know who I am? And how do you know about me? Who are you? Are you an angel?” “you will know about everything my dear and soon but you know to go back. You have greater things to accomplish there.” She answers and caresses me again. Like a mother would do to her child but the thing I caught on was I have to go back? “but didn’t I die and came to heaven to enjoy the eternal life of peace? I did fall from the cliff of that waterfall, isn’t it?” she laughs for a while.” No, my dear, you didn’t die and yes you did fall from the cliff but fate has other plans for you. Your life is not full of sorrows. You will soon find happiness.” “But then where am I now?” I ask out of curiosity. “you are in my world, my child. You will understand everything soon enough. On your eighteenth birthday, all the secrets will be revealed. That’s the correct time and everything will start changing from that day. Come I will show you something.” With this, she flicks her hand through the air and as if she is sifting through it and suddenly a cloud appears and starts showing something as if it’s a movie showing on a cloud. I see Greyson and how he loses control and Dean is controlling him. I see how Dean is worried about something and he is fuming. Then I see myself on a bed in a hospital room. I look as if I am dead. And the lady, my angel shows me everything that’s happening down there. It's like a fast forward movie.
“you need to go now my child.” After seeing the reality down there, I am shocked. But her words bring me back from my thoughts. I am about to protest but her next words stop me from saying anything. It's been a month already Rose and you need to go there. Your baby needs you. It's one month old in your womb and in 3 months you will deliver it.” She tells me softly. But what baby is she talking about? “Baby?” I croak out. “yes, my dear. You are pregnant and you need to be there. That’s your fate. Believe in yourself and fate. You are destined to do something big.” She explains. I look at her surprised. She explains softly. I swallow the lump that forms in my throat and accept my fate. “how do I go back?” she takes my hand in her and just tells me to sleep and I will wake up in my body. “but will I see you again?”. “Yes, my child you will see me again.” I smile relieved. It feels as if she is my whole family. I don’t know why but I have a connection with her. she produces a small pendant and a ring that matches them both and puts them both on me. “This my child will always protect you and keep you safe from unseen dangers. Think of this as a gift from a mother to a daughter.” I smile feeling touched and hug her tightly. And we say our tearful goodbyes with a promise to meet soon.
I wake up in the hospital room. I remember everything the Lady in white told me. I don’t know her name that’s why I call her the lady in white. I try to move my hand towards my belly. I caress my small baby bump, feeling the life growing inside me. It brings a tear of joy to me. This is the best thing that has ever happened in my life. Suddenly the door opens and I see Greyson standing in the doorway with a large smile and his eyes shining with love and happiness. Then I notice that his eyes are darker than usual, it's Dean and not Greyson. It saddens me that it's Dean and not Greyson that is taking care of me and loving our pup. I start crying when he comes near me and cradles me near him. I bury my neck in his chest and hold his shirt tightly in my hands and let go of everything. He just rocks me and lets me cry. “Hush Darling everything is alright. I won’t let Greyson hurt you anymore. I will take your care and even protect our pup. Whatever happens, my dear always remembers that I love you.” He kisses my forehead and we stay like that for a while. This is the most that I feel so safe.
I am three months pregnant now. I have a belly as huge as a whale. Just one more month and my pup will be out. Werewolves pregnancy proceed very fast. It takes only 4 months to carry the pup and it's ready to be born. Dean has kept his promise and takes care of me. but we both know that Greyson can’t be blocked forever. No wolf can take complete control of its human. A wolf can only take complete control for a month but Dean is a strong wolf and he has managed to keep control for 3 months. But any day now Greyson will take control. I am scared is an understatement, I am terrified of what may happen. No one is allowed to meet me and see me. the only exceptions are Dean, my personal maid, my midwife and Andrea. You must be surprised to know this, but Andrea has become a sister I never had. She has also become my best friend in the sense. She is not a b***h like I believed. Yes, she was very bitchy towards me at the start, but she has apologized and I already have forgiven her. she tries to be a b***h because even her life is not all sunshine. She wanted a title because she was being abused by her own father and wanted to escape hell. She understands my situation and even though I feel that her method was wrong but she is also a victim. I can’t be happier now than before. But this is the calm before the storm.
Just two more weeks for my baby to come into this world. I am taking my afternoon nap when the door to my bedroom opens harshly making a banging sound. I look towards the door and immediately my heart starts beating loudly and fear starts spreading me. Dean tried controlling Greyson till our pup arrives but he has lost the battle today. I see Greyson storming towards me with eyes filled with rage. He comes near the bed and grabs my hairs pulling my hairs “you enjoyed your stay because of my stupid mutt but it's enough. You will regret every day now the day you were born.” I whimper and he lets go. “but don’t worry my dearest you will have your peace until the pup is born, Afterall it's my own blood and he will be the next Alpha. I am already disappointed that the heir would be weak because you will be his mother. But don’t worry! I am his father and I will train him.” With that he is about to walk away and again comes near me grabbing my chin roughly, making me look into his eyes forcefully. Those eyes will forever haunt me in my nightmares, they look evil. The only emotion swirling in those eyes is rage. “don’t think that you will be the Luna now because of the pup. It was just a mistake. I am marrying Layla tomorrow itself. These days she has already prepared everything. The pack is already making the decorations and other stuff. And I have already blocked Dean. He won’t do any more stupid things. Goodbye Mate!” he literally spits those words. After he bangs the door close, I break down in big sobs. He called my pup weak! My pup is a mistake? NO! My pup is not a mistake it’s my life. It is the only thing that has happened to me is good in this shitty life of mine. I am still crying when Layla walks in. she sits on the bed beside me and hands me a plate. It's full of fruits. Then she places a box of chocolate on my lap. Then comes a jar of pickles and a small tiffin box full of cakes. “I have heard Pregnant bitches crave these foods. I have brought everything you need. It’s a thank you from me towards you and your pup.” I look at her with a questioning gaze and she just laughs at me. “oh! You don’t know what I mean? Right. You are the mate of my husband who is going to deliver his pup soon. I am the luckiest girl alive, isn’t it?” she spits sarcastically. I still keep quiet and don’t utter a word. I have already learnt my lesson before. I am already in this state so the right thing is to keep quiet.” But I am really thankful to you. As a Luna, I am compelled to give birth to an heir that will lead the pack after Greyson. And you know what I never wished to become a mother, it makes a beautiful woman like me look ugly and lose my perfect figure. Also, kids make ladies look and feel old. I thank you so much!” she looks so happy while saying these things. I am shocked by these words and her thinking. How could a woman think all these things? She twirls happily around the room but Andrea walks in with my medicines looking at the scene in front of her she is about to go but Layla stops her, “Hey wait, I was about to go. I just came to give my greetings. I am done now, bye have a good day you two!”. I look at Andrea with a tearful face and tell her everything that’s happened since afternoon…..after everything said and done we all wait for the wedding that is taking place tomorrow.
