I leave the bed careful not to wake her up

I smile at her figure on the bed

As beautiful as always

I follow the morning routine as usual

The Luna being sick has me doing double the work and she may be little but she does a lot of hard work

But the people are please with her who puts her life at risk for a pup

And I'm proud to be her mate too but I'd love her to care for her health more

"Dereck, I mean King, your highness" I nod at Cassandra
"You can call me Dereck, why change now?" She pauses then smile
"The Luna said if I use your first name again she would kill me" I refrain from smiling
"She's a bit moody, don't take it to heart" she nod walking side with me
"I heard some rumors your highness but maybe it's inappropriate for me to say"
"It's just a rumor, say"

She clears her throat
"I heard the cleaners who work at the hospital say that the Luna went in for pregnancy confirmation and then again for abortion. Is it true? You don't want her to bear your child? Is your relationship that bad?"
"It's just a rumor Cassandra, the Queen is not pregnant and even if she is that would be happy news, not one to abort. Common let's go train"

The thought never leave my mind

I cut the training short and walk back to our house

I ask the maid to stop their chores for the day

I search for anything around her office careful and then around our room gently not to disturb her sleep

It takes me a while to get on her computer but once in I navigate on her history search

My world stopped for a while and I read the emails and search again and again

I watch her sleep peacefully while drinking some rum

She damn beautiful but every time she instinctively touch her stomach my anger rise

but her body is hers and ... she could have told me, we could have talked about it

Our child would have been perfect just like her

"Hey, good morning" she stretches out of her sleep "why are you still.. are you drinking? you really..." she runs out of bed to the toilet to trow up

Why didn't I see the signs?

I hold her hair back-patting her

I wait for her to tidy herself up "babe you stink of alcohol" she smiles before rinsing her mouth on the sink, I give her a towel and assist her back to bed "not talking much? is something wrong
"Here" I give her the emails and other stuff I printed out

She takes her time reading through it, her eyes finally meet mine after a while and I can feel uneasiness through the bond "why didn't you tell me?"

"I'm sorry" she touches my arm but I back off
"You lied to me"
"I can explain, please"
"You tried to kill our son"
"Dereck" she comes toward me again
"Don't touch me!" I smash her laptop to the ground "don't touch me right now, don't"

She takes a few steps back and takes a hand around her lower stomach
"Now you want to protect her? From me?"
"No no, if you would just listen"
"you had time to tell me, Jane, you were never gonna tell me were you?" I exit the room
"You can't leave while you are angry baby, you have to hear me out. Dereck I can't keep up slow down. You know I can't hurt him even if I wanted to, Adriana is protecting the fetus, Dereck! you know damn well I wasn't going to!"
"do I? fuck Janeth is not even that, you didn't even bother to tell me, you made all the research without even telling me! why?"I stop at the gate turning to look at her

She takes a deep breath
"It's my body Dereck, I told you didn't want children but I change my mind I kept him "
"Should I thank you, Jane? it's my child too! it's not even the fact you wanted an abortion is the fact you kept me out! we are a couple in bad and good remember? but you lied to me inst0 ead.:oh yeah i forgot i am the only one who promised never to lie it was always only me" i look at her one last time before running off as I shift into Shelton

I can hear her yell my name for a while and I can't help but worry because of her condition, but surely it ceases as the mate bond gets weaker I make a quick U-turn to see if she's okay but I found no one at the gate
