The Vampire King's Pregnant Wife

Chapter 5: Ally

Luna’s pov

I was sitting in my room reading some books that Taylor gave me on Vampires.

I heard someone knock on my bedroom door and I could tell from his scent that it was Ashton.

He didn’t smell the way he did when he was still my mate.

His scent was blended with hers and they were one.

“Come on in.” I told him, and he opened the door and came in.

He gave me a smile, but I could tell he wasn’t comfortable.

“I came here to give you these,” he said, showing me the books in his hands, and I smiled a bit.

“She forced you to come here didn’t she,” I asked him, referring to Taylor, and he nodded.

I smiled a bit.

She probably wants us to clear the air between us because we haven’t really talked about what happened.

He gave me the books and turned to leave but then turned around again and looked at me.

The guilt and pain in his eyes told me everything I needed to know.

“I should have been honest with you from the beginning,” he said to me and I nodded.

“Yes, you should have told me.” I said to him with a smile.

He came and at next to me.

He held my hand and I looked at him straight in the eyes and I felt my stupid heart flutter.

He placed a gentle kiss on my forehead.

“You deserve the world; I should have told you about me and Taylor. I should have been brave enough to tell you from the beginning that I love her. You shouldn’t have found out the way you did.” he said to me.

Actually, I don’t think what hurt was the way I found out.

No, it was just the information and finding out my mate is in love with someone else.

“What you should have done from the beginning was to choose her, you should have picked her.” I told him.

I was so mad at him when I found out.

After I rejected him I spent so many days telling myself that this could have been avoided.

Ashton smiled and looked the other way.

“Taylor said the same thing, it took me weeks of apologizing to get her to forgive me. So, I understand if you can't forgive me now, I shouldn’t have strung you on like that. A lot could have been avoided if I hadnt been a coward,” he said.

I nodded and he got up.

“I forgive you Ashton, and Taylor and I would never understand what you were going through that time,” I told him.

He must have been so confused and possibly felt guilty every single day.

“It really was hard; I had a beautiful and kind mate waiting for me to love her.

All I wanted was to be able to love you the way you deserve but my heart kept going to the one person,” he said with a sad smile.

“All is forgiven, we were all just pawns of fate,” I said to him and he nodded.

“Thank you, I hope you get everything you want and more,” he said and kissed my hand before leaving.

I smiled when he closed the door, but I knew that deep down I was still angry and hurt.

It's so hard to move on when you don’t know who to blame.

Sometimes I blame myself because I should have seen it.

I should have seen that he wasn’t that into me.

Sometimes I blame him because he should have told me but even if he did I would have been so jealous.

I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him but what kind of a life would that have been?

A life where my husband will have to force himself to love me every day.

A life where every time when he looked at me all he saw was the woman who replaced the love of his life?

Either way there was no future for me and Ashton.

I am glad that I walked away when I still had time.

I walked away before it was too late.

The next morning and got ready to go to my home.

I had to explain to my parents what is going on because I owe them an explanation.

“Do you want me to come with you?” Taylor asked me as I was getting ready.

“No, I am going to be okay,” I said.

The truth was I would have loved to have someone go with me and be there for me when I tell my parents.

But that person can’t be Taylor because my parents aren’t as forgiving as I am.

They are still having a hard time accepting that Ashton and I are no longer mates.

I am pretty sure that my mother will probably blame them for this too.

Like it’s their fault I slept with the Vampire king and got pregnant.

I came back after telling my parents about my pregnancy.

It took a while for me to convince them that I am telling the truth.

It sounded a little too far fetched for them.

Vampires cant procreate and never in the history of the world has a vampire had a child.

I told them about the one night stand I had with Blake and it was a weird thing for me telling my parents that I had s*x.

Eventually they had to agree with me.

Even when I left my mother still believed that I was just saying all that to protect Ashton.

I told her repeatedly that there is only one woman carrying Ashton’s children and that woman isn’t me.

But she refused to believe me.

They tried to get me to stay at home, but I couldn’t.

Soon I will have to tell Blake about my pregnancy and then my life will change.

There is only one person who can help me get through this change and that is Taylor.

She knows all there is to know about Vampires.

She knows about the council and she knows Blake more than anyone else in this world.

I need her to help me.

I spent two weeks reading all there is about Vampires.

I learnt their history, their habits, and their rules and damn they have many rules.

Apparently, you can't just get turned into a vampire with just a bite.

There is an entire process to it and if you don’t complete the process you become what they call a wendigo.

A wendigo is a vampire without a brood/ clan which is what they call a group of vampires.

We call werewolves a pack and they are apparently a brood or clan but a prefer calling them a clan.

Brood sounds like blood a little and it just freaks me out.

I was sitting with Taylor reading one last book she gave me.

“And there is this, now this more important than anything and you have to take it with you,” she said giving me the file.

I took the file and opened inside to find pictures and information of people like their ages.

"Rebecca Stone 400 years old,” I said and gasped at this.

“Yes, she is the oldest alive vampire and the second in command of the Vampire Council. People value her opinion and especially Blake, there are related because Blake’s mother was a stone too, so she is like his aunt.” Taylor said with a frown.

“I don’t really understand how they are related but they are. Rebecca was Blake’s mother’s aunt,” she said, and I burst out laughing.

“So, after I get to know them, what else do I do?” I asked her.

“Well you pick an ally.” she told me, and I looked at her surprised.

“What do you mean I pick an ally?” I asked her.

“You are going in a place full of people who don’t trust each other. Because Blake is King you will spend most of your time in the capital,” she said, and I nodded.

I know about the capital.

It's like this huge city hidden from people where most vampires live, there is a castle there where the Vampire King rules from.

“From the look on your face it means you read up on the Capital. The council are allowed only one person there, like one bodyguard and Blake has one too,” she said to me.

“So, I need a bodyguard?” I asked her and she nodded.

“Not just any bodyguard, but you need someone who understands you. Someone you can trust with your life and also someone powerful you know will protect you with their life,” she said to me.

With everything she said, the one person I could think of was her.

“I don’t know anyone like that,” I said to Taylor and she looked at me with a smile.

“But I do, I know someone who wouldn’t mind, and she hates being at home doing nothing,” she said to me.

“Who?” I asked her.

“My sister Talia, she is a powerful witch and I trust her with my life,” Taylor said to me and I smiled.

Talia would be perfect, she is a witch, which means she would be able to do the things that I cant or Blake cant.

“Will she agree?” I asked Taylor.
