Chapter 17- Ultrasound With Rory
824 Words
Nyx's POV
The next day, I had told Rory that Ruby had apologized. He seemed skeptical at first, thinking it was a trick, but when I told him I just knew she was telling the truth, he seemed pleased with me.
"I'm happy that you're settling into Luna's role really well. I'm just a little worried". Rory confides with me and I can't help but whimper, thinking that it's my fault. His warm big hands caress the sides of my cheeks, filling them with warmth.
"Come on, let's go to the pack hospital and see how the baby is doing". He finally responds. I can't help the feeling that he's not pleased about the baby not being his. I'm sure he'll come to terms with it.
"Welcome back, Luna Nyx", Becca, the nurse who had clarified that I was pregnant, greeted Rory and me with a bright, warm smile. Rory bowed his head in response and I returned the smile.
"Are we also here to find out what you're having"?
I hadn't thought about what the s*x of the baby would be; a girl or a boy?
Every nurse and doctor knew my story about the pregnancy, but they never spoke about him in front of me, which I'm grateful for.
"I would like it to be a secret for now"? I asked Becca, who was so eager to do the ultrasound.
"Will there be a baby shower"? She asked a different question.
I and Rory both nod to this, and she gets the paper work of who she wants to tell so that they can prepare for the baby shower.
When we had finally decided the person who was going to prepare for the baby shower, we were both excited. Both Mary and my mother were decided. I made it very clear not to tell anyone though when they received the letter about our bundle of joy. As the ultrasound began, I felt a nagging feeling that someone was watching me other than Becca and my mate. The eyes felt cold and unwelcome, I felt panic-stricken and wanted to hide in my mate's arms. Rory must have sensed that I was at unease and placed a kiss on my lips, cheek and forehead.
The ultrasound was over, and we were free to get out of there. When we got out into fresh air, I still felt the eyes on me but not so intense.
*I didn't like that feeling*. Laika had been on edge from feeling those penetrating eyes on us.
**Same, it felt like we were being targeted**, I clarified, still feeling scared about this ordeal.
"Nyx, what happened back there"? Rory had brought me out of my conversation with my wolf. Because I was pregnant, he couldn't tell what we were saying, but deep down he knew it was about the uneasy gaze.
"Did you feel an uneasy gaze"? I asked him, wanting to know his response. Rory only nodded, and I could see the fear in his eyes.
"I won't let anyone hurt you or the baby, Nyx". I remember when he made the same promise.
Rory's POV
Nyx was so scared in the hospital, her face turned like a pale white, tears were about to fall down her cheeks. Becca was too focused on the baby to realize it. I need to speak with my father about this, as well as Chase, my Gamma. Maybe he knew what made Nyx so petrified?
*I hate seeing Mate like that*. I agree with him, seeing her so scared brings back when Cade had raped her. Just hearing or saying his name pisses me off, and I want to rip him apart.
*I wouldn't mind ripping him apart*. Max agreed, but he also knew he was the father to the baby, his baby, not me.
*We'll have pups with her too*.
Just thinking about me and Nyx having kids together makes me so happy.
I head over to the pack house where everyone is, including my warriors.
"I brought you here to tell you that your Luna, felt unease in the hospital when getting the ultrasound". I said with a firm tone in my voice, this person had made my mate nearly cry.
"That's horrible". Everyone said, putting hands to their mouths when they gasped in shock.
"We must protect the Luna". One of the warriors protested. Nearly a hundred percent of the warriors agreed, the Luna and her unborn baby should be protected.
I asked to speak to my father in private, knowing he was already angry with the fact that someone had made his daughter-in-law uncomfortable, when this should be a safe place.
"Who the hell would frighten the Luna like that"! He screamed, ready to tear apart the bastard limb from limb.
"I don't know, dad. But I have Scouts keeping an eye out and the Warriors to be on full guard". I said acting like a true Alpha.
