Alpha And Luna

Previously

I laugh and make room for him in the bed, he lies down and I put my head on his chest and he puts his hand on my stomac making little circles.

-I love you Kyle.

-I love you Maeva.

We kiss and fall asleep in each other's arms. It's at times like this that I realise how important he is in my life and that I'd never want to lose him. I love him with every fibre of my being and would do anything for him and my child. Present

When I wake up, Kyles not with me, so I get up and go into the bathroom to get dressed. I can finally get out of here! After changing, I go back to the bedroom where Kyle is, with muffins and bananas. I run up to him and grab the muffins out of his hands.

-No hello, no kiss?

-No, I'm hungry.

I finish eating and then we leave the hospital.

Kyle?

Kyle.

-Did you tell the pack I was pregnant?

-No, not yet, I wanted you to be there with me when I did.

Inod and a few minutes later we arrive at the house. When I open the door, the whole pack is there, and I look at Kyle without understanding.

“I called them in to tell them the news.”

“Okay.”

We walk towards them.

~50 if I've called you here, it's to tell you the big news.

He turns to me, grabs my waist and puts his hand on my stomach.

-Maeva is pregnant.

Everyone screams with joy, jumping up and down to congratulate us. Especially Léna and Josh.

-Congratulations, I'm so happy to be a grandmother!

I laugh slightly and give her a hug.

“You'll make a great mum.

You'll make a great mum.

She smiles at me and hugs her son.

“You're going to take good care of your child, I hope?

He laughs.

-Don’t worry, Mum.

Everyone's leaving the house.

-I'm so hungry!

I head for the kitchen and look for something to eat.

-Kyle? Kyle? Do we have any crisps?

-I don't think so, do you want some crisps?

~No, I don't think so, although the cheese ones are really good...

I'll go and get you some crisps.

-No, it's fine.

I keep looking for something to eat, but there's nothing in this house. Kyle comes back with three bags of cheese crisps and two big bowls of ice cream. I jump up and give him a hug.

-You're the best!

I grab a bag and head into the living room. I'm starting to eat my chips when Kyle comes in and sits down next to me. -So how are your chips?

I nod.

~Ilove you,” he says.

He kisses me.

~Me t00, do you know what punishment my mum used to give my dad when he was too hard on me or my brother? ~she hit him with a broom?

Vm joking, I've got this image of my mother running after my father with a broom in her hands, it's so funny.

“No, he was 5*x deprived.

He stops moving.

~You wouldn't do that, would you?

-Why not? I think it's a great idea.

He grunts.

-Well, I don't.

I laugh and plunge my hand into the bag of crisps, but there's nothing left.

I've finished the bag!

Kyle laughs.

-'m going to get fat!

-Even fat, you'll be the most beautiful woman in the world.

-So you're saying I'm gonna get fat! That's right, I'm gonna get fat.

I'm starting to cry, bloody hormones!

-Stop crying, darling, it won't do any good.

Iglare at her and say, crying:

-Do you really think I'm crying my own gray? It's the hormones, Kyle, the hormones.

I huff and puff, get up and throw the bag in the bin.

-I'm going to take a bath and go to bed.

-Okay, I have to finish some things in my office, so if I'm not in bed when you go to bed, it's not because I'm dead. -What a shame.

He comes up to me and whispers in my ear.

-say that again?

-It's OK, I didn't say anything.

-I'd rather you didn't.

He lets go of me and I get into the bath.

*Two week eclipse

I wake up in the middle of the night with a massive stomach ache.

Kyle...

I'shake him.

I shake him.

~The baby...

He wakes up with a start and picks me up like a princess before carrying me out to the car. He speeds off to the pack hospital and I'm taken straight into care. They give me a series of tests and after a couple of hours I walk out of the examination room and into a bedroom. Kyle and I wait for the results.

I'm scared, Kyle.

Atear rolls down my cheek, he kisses my forehead and pats my back.

-And if I've done something and the baby dies, that means I've killed my baby...

-Don’t worry, Maeva, you've done everything right.

The doctor enters the room, two hours later.

What's going on, Maeva? Is the baby all right?

~The baby’s fine, don't worry, but it's you.

I can't breathe.

-What's..what's wrong with me?

~The baby’s very strong, your boy's a witch and a werewolf.

-50 a hybrid,” says Kyle.

~No, it's more complicated, remember that when you're together you're one and the same and your powers are multiplied by w

I nodded.

~Well, your child is like you, he has the powers you have when you're together, but he has them all to himself. -And what difference does that make?

You might not survive the birth.

Kyle squeezes my hand even harder.

~The baby takes your energy and uses it against you. After the birth, it will have taken all your energy and you may die. Ished a tear.

-And what are the chances of me surviving?

“Very little, unfortunately.

-HOW MANY?

-One chance in I5.

~I'm going to have my baby, there's no way I'm having an abortion.

-But you're going to die Maeva!

-I'm going to leave you now, you can leave whenever you like, the papers are in.

The doctor leaves the room and I get dressed.

-Iwon't let you do this Maeva, if I have to I'll ill our boy myself so that you live.

Islap him.

It's my decision Kyle! This is our child we're talking about, the future alpha of our pack, not our neighbour!

-I don’t want to lose you!

-And I don't want to lose my child!

Kyle leaves the room and comes back a few minutes later with the doctor.

-I've signed the papers.

I nod.

-And if I have an abortion and get pregnant again, will the other child be like this one?

Yes, there's a 90% chance it will be like this one.

-And how many months of pregnancy am I looking at?

-Seven, as it has to develop more than the others.

My baby is going to kill me, but I don't want to kill it, I want to bring joy into the world and I know very well that Kyle will be able to look after it. He's selfish and only thinks of his own needs.
