LUNA

"I'm happy to see you again but I'm not sure if I support the reasoning behind the visit." My brother laughs slightly and I shake my head before placing one of my bags on my bed.

"It's not funny at all." I clarify and his face goes pale.

"Do I need to do something about this? Did he hurt you?"

"Emotionally not physically." I nod and as I take a seat on the bed. "After that council dinner we were getting distant and it got better once I started working and having a place in the pack. Then we ran the tests to see what went wrong when I was marked and what exactly that witch cursed him with or cursed me with. He wouldn't let me know so I stormed off and I did some work in one of his apartments. During that week I hear nothing from anyone and then Logan, his beta, shows up with their friend. They tell me it's serious and that I have to come back so I do and it turns out that the first tests they ran stated that he wouldn't be able to have a child; that the witch made it so he couldn't have a future son."

"His pack." My brother takes a seat across from me at a desk and I nod. "Are they sure?"

"No, they're gonna keep trying to see if they can reverse something or if he's truly incapable of having kids. Either way I tried to comfort him and let him know that I love him but he tries to tell me to leave him and be with Logan. I told him logan wasn't the one and that I only wanted him and so I mated with him only for him to sit up and tell me that he knows that Logan has feelings for me because Garrett told him what went on between us."

"Did you sleep with Logan?"

"No never, not even a kiss happened between him and I. He hugs me and kisses me on the head sometimes but we're friends. Or I thought because he tells me that he knows Logan is in love with me. I start shouting and telling him I can't do this and that he needs to believe me but ultimately I left. I went to talk to his sister because she's the closest thing I have to a friend. She tells me that she thinks it's best if they sort Bash out and I come here and sort myself out, so here I am."

"So you slept with Bash and he proceeded to tell you that his best friend and Beta is in love with you?"

"Precisely." I clap my hands together and place them in my lap before looking at my sister in law.

"So yes I am forever spiritually connected to a man who told me to leave him for his Beta. Not to mention I refuse to return until he's worked through this."

"You're usually too stubborn for your own good, but this time I think you have to be. You have to get some space and you have to let him have his. As for what he did, that was a dick move but he's hurting and he feels like less of a man because of everything."

"I was almost killed by someone the council hired and still didn't give up names yet in return I'm seen as un-loyal and as if I'm lusting after his Beta."

"I just think these next few weeks need to be a time for me to just sit and cry and do what I need to do." I conclude and they both offer kind smiles before shutting my door and leaving me alone.

This is a good excuse to sleep and not be labeled as depressed.

"Now I'm not gonna mention this to you as an insult or to make you any more upset but are you pregnant?"

Excuse me?

Five weeks of living here and that's what my brother asks as I grab food from his fridge.

"Why the fuck would you ask me that? You know why I'm here so why say that?"

"Because your scent is that of a pregnant woman and it's very likely that whatever curse was placed on him was broken when you guys split leaving him practically mateless. If what you've told me is true than the witch probably cursed him so that you'd leave and you did so that curse is broken because you technically fulfilled it. Unfortunately you left less than an hour after you two had sex which broke the curse leaving you pregnant."

"Holy fuck." I run to the bathroom and I start searching for tests. "If I'm pregnant I have to go back and tell him don't I?" I shout.

"I have to right? Even if I don't want to see him, I have to tell him right?"

"Trust me you don't need to test if you're pregnant. You definitely are."

"I cannot be pregnant. Not today, not any day." I shout back at him before letting my body fall to the cold tiled floor.

"All I wanted was to know I could have a kid with him, but I can't do this right now. It's been over a month and he hasn't even come to get me let alone called me or texted me and I'm his mate. I'm his future wife and I'm supposed to be with him for life. Yet he hasn't asked me how I am. Nobody from that pack has contacted me. What do I do?!"

"You have to call him. You have to talk to someone about this. You're holding a future alpha and wether or not you are happy with him you need that to be known."

Fuck this shit.

"And I'd start by calling Logan." He adds and I feel the sickness rise up in my throat at the thought of contacting any of them, especially Logan. He's my best friend in that house, but I can't think of him the same right now and Trev expects me to call him?

"Don't brush that off as stupid. You should speak to him and iron out his feelings and also get yours fixed."

Guess I'm gonna be calling Logan.
