The Tales of a Pregnant Luna

*Reese’s POV:*

A scream woke me up. I suddenly fell off the couch I was sleeping on and hit the ground with a loud thump. my heart pounded in my chest as I made my way towards her. there was nothing more painful, then hearing her in pain.

Another scream echoed through the house as my chest constricted and my heartstrings pulled. Colleen. Her name was the only thing that was going through my mind in the moment.

I followed her scent to a shut door, I opened it in a rush and watched her hollow in pain. She laid down in a crouching position as he scratched at herself.

I tried making my way to her side as she held her hand up stopping me in my tracks, and in a pained and soft voice muttered firmly, “No.”

No? what did she mean “No”. ignoring her words, I made my way to her side as she pushed me away as tears sprung into her yes. taking her face in my hand, I searched her eyes for a meaning behind her words but all she had done was repeat it again.

my eyebrows furrowed at her words as I couldn’t bring myself to understand what she was getting at. “What t=do you mean by “No” Colleen, whether you agree or not, it’s going to happen,” I said with no trace of regret in my tone.

She tried pushing me away, but I held her wrists bringing her to face my neck. “You haven’t rested, you haven’t gotten back recovered from the last time, you’re going to die. I won’t do it.” she said her voice straight in as pain hit her. My heart clenched more, hurting. My mate was hurting but here she was worrying about someone other than herself.

“Listen to me Colleen, okay, I’m fine see, I have recovered just fine my love, I feel great. Now please just do as your told and bite me.” I encouraged her with a lie. whether I felt okay or not was not the issue, we needed to sedate the pain and we needed to do it fast. I didn’t have only her to think of, I had our child to think of as well.

Stubbornly she pushed away, as tears began making their way out of her eyes. “No.” she muttered yet again. “your scent is fading.” she said bringing to my attention.

“Hey love, look, this is what he wants. he’s manipulating the way you feel. believe me, I’m okay. Your father knows that by doing all of this, you would sacrifice yourself instead of him having to look for a way to sacrifice you. he needs you, so he won’t hurt you, but by hurting yourself, you’re giving him what he wants.” I explained, “So please, just do it. I’ll be fine. I’m your mate and your alpha, I’m pretty strong if I do say so myself,” I joked as she chuckled slightly. “So please?” I begged.

“You promise You’re okay?” she asked in a whisper as she sniffled.

“yes, yes, I promise, now please.” and she did, taking her pain away, a sigh of relieve washed over me.

Her canines elongated itself in my neck, as I could feel myself get weaker, but that didn’t matter at all, she was feeling okay and she wasn’t in pain any longer. She bit harder as I groaned. my hands fisted as I held in my groans of pain. I felt myself loose some strength as holding myself became seemingly difficult. once she was sedated, she pulled away as I let out a sigh, smiling towards her. beads of sweat had now accumulated on my forehead as breathing slightly became difficult, tying not to make anything visible I pulled away from her slightly.

She looked me in the eyes looking for a sign of… Something but found nothing and sighed in relief. She wiped the tears under her eyes and stared at me for a moment.

“please rest.” she whispered. And I smiled nodding at her. kissing her forehead, I stood up, my legs trembling slightly, as I walked out the door shutting it behind me. huffing out a breath, I stood against the wall, trying to gain some energy before making my way back to the living room and on the couch. I was going to have to rest and that was not even optional. I fell silent on the couch and my eyes automatically closed and darkness engulfed my weak, helpless, and defenseless body. And that truly scared me.

**Colleen’s POV**:

I must do for it him. I must. I can feel him fading. His scent is fading. His breathing is shallow. My mate was dying, and I couldn’t stomach the fact that it was I, who was taking him away from the world. I have to find anything and everything I can about my father, even if it meant risking my safety.

standing near the window, I watched as the sunlight shone on the leaves of the trees making them slightly transparent. where was I going to have to start? if anything, I didn’t even have the slightest idea of anything related to my father’s life and I never tried to find out. sighing I groaned in frustration.

A kick in my stomach made me gasp in shock. Soon Reese was up again, with worry on his face.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“what’s the matter, is it happening again.” a smile took over my face as I watched Reese’s pale face furrow in confusion.

“they kicked.” I said to him. Even more confusion clouded his face.

“Who kicked? What is it colleen? Is something happening to you?” he questioned concern laced in his voice.

“Reese! The baby kicked. I felt the baby kick.” I laughed in joy. A smile broke on his face.

I gasped again as I felt him kick. I giggled and Reese looked so happy. “Can I feel it?” he questioned. I nodded lifting my shirt and putting his hand over my tummy.

He rubbed it slowly as a kick came in again. Reese smiled and continued to rub. “I can’t wait to see you; I can’t wait to meet you. I can’t wait to hold you. I can’t wait to play with you. I can’t wait to love you.” he said as he placed a kiss on my cheek.

A tear rolled out my eye. I quickly wiped it away and put a smile on my face. “and I’m sure the baby can’t wait to meet his or her father.” I whispered. And we sat in that position.

I wish everything would be like this forever and always.
