"You're pregnant?" Daphne asked for the third time, even though she was the first person who thought about pregnancy, she still couldn't believe that I was actually pregnant.
"Yes Daphne, I'm pregnant" I replied, I was as excited as she was. " I'm so happy for you Luna" she squealed.
I couldn't wait for Derek to return so I could break the news to him. Finally things were looking up for me.
He returned home late as usual but I wasn't upset this time. I ran downstairs to greet him when I heard his car horn.
On getting downstairs, I jumped on him and this shocked even me. I was just too overjoyed to think about anything.
He quickly disengaged from our short embrace with a puzzled look, "what is this about" he sounded a little pissed.
"I'm sorry for jumping at you like that, I'm just so excited" I said with a big smile on my face. I gave him the test results paper and he slowly opened it before going through the content.
For a long time, I waited for his face to break into a smile or for him to show even a little sign of joy but he just maintained his bored expression.
"Congratulations" he muttered and shoved the paper back into my hands. I stood there in shock as he walked past me heading for his room. Was that really all he had to say?
"Derek!" I yelled angrily. He paused at the foot of the stairs and turned to me. "Didn't you read it right? I'm pregnant! We're having a baby!" I snapped. The glare he shot at me made me realize what I had just done.
"Don't ever raise your voice at me" he warned, his voice carried so much authority that I couldn't help but shiver in fear.
"I'm sorry" I mumbled, he shot me one last glare then continued his way to his room. Just when I thought, things were going my way.
"Are you ok Luna?" I heard Daphne whisper, I saw her head pop out from under the stairs. Why was she there?
"Yes, I'm fine. We just had a little argument" I lied, the expression on Daphne's face showed that she didn't believe me but she chose to change the topic, " you should go to bed, the baby needs you to rest".
I bade her goodnight and dragged myself upstairs to my room. Once I was inside, I leaned against the door and let all the tears I had been holding back out.

"Luna! I found this in the living room" Daphne said and handed me a file. It had been eight days since I found out I was pregnant, and I was doing some exercises in my room to keep fit.
I opened the file to see that it contained some important documents that Derek would be needing in the office.
"It belongs to Alpha Derek, he will need them" I muttered, Daphne offered to take them to Derek in the company and I agreed.
But after a while I began to have second thoughts, the documents seemed like a good opportunity to get on Derek's good side. If I went to the company to hand over the file myself, he would feel grateful to me.
"On second thought, I think I'll go give the file to him myself" I said and collected the file from Daphne. "But Luna, you're pregnant. You shouldn't be stressing yourself like this" Daphne argued but I remained adamant. I had to go and give Derek the file myself.
I got dressed in a beautiful red gown that Derek had given me on my birthday and applied some make up before making my way to the company in a black car.
I arrived at the company which was guarded by a black gate and high fences. I stopped in front of the gate and informed the security that I was there to see Derek, but he wouldn't let me in.
"Don't you get it, I'm Luna and I'm here to see my mate" I snapped at the man, "I'm sorry but the boss has asked that no one come in without his permission, I'll have to ask him first" , the man explained. "Can I at least drive in and wait inside?" I asked but he shook his head negatively.
I went back to my car to wait while he informed Derek about my presence but to my dismay, I had locked the keys inside.
I had no choice but to stand outside while I waited to be let in but that didn't happen.
One hour passed but I was still standing under the scorching sun waiting. I was one hundred percent sure that Derek was in because I could smell his scent. I may not be able to shift, but that didn't affect my ability to sense my mate.
Another hour passed but yet, I was still standing outside. I went back to the security guard many times to ask if he had gotten an answer yet but never received an affirmative response.
After a while, I began to feel an unbearable pain under my abdomen, but it stopped as quickly as it started.
Just when I thought the worst had passed, I suddenly heard someone yell "She's bleeding!"
I looked around to see who it was that was in possible danger but couldn't find anyone bleeding, it was only then that I realized everyone was staring at me and I looked down to see blood flowing freely down my legs.
I screamed in horror. This couldn't be happening to me.
The security quickly ran to inform Derek of my predicament while passersby tried to help me. I raised my head up and saw through a window Derek sitting on a chair with a woman on his lap. It was Genevieve. They were laughing and kissing like a young couple.
I saw the security guard appear in front of them and he explained what was happening to me, only then did Derek look out the window. I expected that he would throw Genevieve off him and run downstairs to help me, but he just went back to laughing and kissing her like that was all that mattered.
I felt my heart break into tiny pieces and everything went blank…
