ARIA
The day his mind linked with mine, I thought I had finally found hope and peace.
Theron showered me with affection, treating me like the princess I am. But the moment he discovered I couldn't shift, he rejected me.
That crushed me deeply because his love suddenly vanished. He no longer saw me as the beautiful mate he wanted but as a reject.
It hurt me deeply.
Theron began tormenting my life in his home, giving me work to attend to like a slave. But my most important work for the Alpha is to be his s*x slave.
Theron never ceased the chance to have s*x with me. And when he's in that mood, it's like he's an entirely different person.
But once he's done satisfying himself, he goes back to his rude self and torments me.
Sometimes it makes me wish I was never bought by him or that my pack was never attacked by those rogues.
I felt suffocated.
But this is where I met Eliana, my new friend, and the only reason I'm not crying at the corner in regret.
As the chief chef of the Alpha, Eliana always made time to be with me, making me feel safe and happy.
Whenever Theron scolded me over a little issue, Eliana was always there to help me out.
Theron had almost lashed out at me one night, but Eliana somehow saved me by pleading on my behalf.
She saved me from Theron's wrath.
"There are a lot of things you need to learn, Aria. The Alpha can be rude over little things, especially from the slaves." Eliana shared, serving me dinner in the dining room.
It was late, and everyone had gone to rest, including Theron. This is the time I usually eat because Eliana always keeps a good meal aside for me.
"Whenever you notice his angry mood, just behave and apologize to him. He will yell; he will roar. That's how he does it. But just try to endure." She advised me further, telling me what to do whenever Theron got mad at me.
"Thank you, Eliana," I appreciated, eating my food with sadness in my eyes.
"You know..." She said, gaining my attention.
"I would have loved to see you by the Alpha's side, wolf or no wolf; you are still his mate," she said, patting me on the head like a mother to her daughter.
"If the goddess still wants you to be with him, she'll surely make Alpha Theron accept you. I just know it," she said to me, letting out a smile.
Talking with Eliana brought peace to my heart.
Like I said, she's the reason why I'm not in a corner weeping all the tears in my system. Eliana has become my best friend and only support.
Whenever I'm feeling down, I go to meet her and pour out my heart. And she's a very good listener. She would sit with me and advise me on what to do, just like now.
I love her. She reminds me of my parents.
.
One evening, I was busy attending to work when I began feeling strange.
I thought I was just having weakness, but I felt there was more to it.
"Aria dear, can you..."
A fellow servant had wanted to ask for my help when I suddenly ran out of her sight, feeling nauseous all of a sudden.
"Aria, what happened?" Eliana had called after seeing me running to the bathroom.
I stormed in, throwing up into the toilet. Weakness took over me, sending me leaning against the wall. Only to find Eliana looking at me.
Her face filled with shock as she closed the door, preventing any other person from stepping inside.
"Are you okay?" She asked, taking it upon herself to wash my face.
"I'm okay, Eliana. I just felt like throwing up," I said, looking at her.
But it seemed she doubted my words.
Eliana looked into my eyes, placing her hand below my abdomen.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
That's when I see Eliana's eyes growing large.
"Aria, you're pregnant."
"What? " I stared in shock.
I'm pregnant? Does that mean I'm carrying Theron's child in me?
I see Eliana's face brightening with smiles. Her arms fell around me as she congratulated me on the news.
"This is good news. You're... Oh wow! " She shrieked almost in a whisper, showing her happiness.
I was more happy. This is indeed beautiful news to me.
I am carrying Theron's child in my womb!
"Goodness! What if he rejects it?" I feared, feeling my heart racing.
I flashed back to the night he rejected me because I couldn't shift. His bitter words towards me for being wolfless.
"Now I don't know what to do. I can't tell if I should be happy, sad, or even worried. What if Theron rejects the baby??"I panicked in my heart.
Eliana decides to leave me to clean up, while she steps out to tell the slave who had followed us from behind that I ate something bad and had to take it out.
"I got so worried."
"She's fine now."
I heard Eliana and the servant.
I kept my back against the wall, thinking of the child in me.
I just don't know what to do.
But that's when I remembered something. I still remember Theron's conversation with his beta.
He had shared his desire to have an heir after him.
"Theron was telling Beta his wish to have a child. This means that Theron would"
I felt my face engulfing with smiles.
"He made it clear that day that he wanted an heir. I know what I heard wasn't wrong. Theron wants a child, and I am carrying his heir."
Despite my rejection, I summoned the courage to go and see Theron.
"I'll tell him about my progeny. He'll be thrilled," I decided, stepping out of the bathroom and making my way to see Theron.
I wonder how he'll react.
