Chapter 9

Aurora “Aurora… I’m scared… Why did you marry the alpha? Is it because of my treatment… You shouldn’t have…” “Mom, I married him because I wanted to… Mom, you don’t need to be worried about anything.” I assured her, kissing her hand softly. “What about Theodore? He’s your mate and you can’t abandon your mate. I didn’t train you to do such, do not be like your father.” She whispered and I nodded. “I don’t abandon him mom… Theodore was a cheat mom, I’ll tell you everything when you recover fully but be rest assured that I’m fine and happy.” I assured with a smile and she exhaled. “Alright, I just want you to be happy.” She muttered and I nodded. “I’ll get the doctor to check your vitals now and bring your meal.” I muttered as I rose, staring at her with a smile as I walked towards the door. I didn’t feel like leaving but I had to. Arriving at the doctor’s office, I was astonished to see a different doctor. “Go… Good morning doctor…” I muttered and she flashed me a smile. “Morning, Luna. I’m doctor Rose, Wayne is away and I’m in charge, do you need my help with anything?” She demanded and for a moment I went blank. My heart began pounding heavily. “Did we get caught? Does the Alpha know? Why would Doctor Wayne leave me alone to face this?” “Luna… Is there a problem?” Rose muttered as she waved and I shook my head, staring at her with great fear. “No… I… actually… My mom is… Awake, can you come check her vitals.” I muttered and she flashed me a smile. “Oh, I’ll do that now, I’m sorry for not coming earlier.” She replied and I nodded. I wobbled my way towards the ward, my heart pounding heavily as my palms began sweating. I bit my lips, trying to control my racing heart. Rose walked towards mom and I stepped back a bit, taking the time to inhale and exhale. “Rora…” “Yes mom!” I replied hastily and she glanced at me slightly. “What’s wrong? You seem restless, I can smell your fear and distress.” She pointed out and I flashed her a fake smile. “I’m… I’m okay mom.” I replied, trying to convince myself. “Should I check your vitals too? Are you seeing symptoms already?” She demanded and I shook my head, flashing a smile while mom stared at me with confusion. “It’s nothing mom… I’m okay doctor, please take care of mom… I'd like to step out and get something for her to eat.” I muttered. “The hospital provides every meal and yours included Luna,” She hinted and I nodded. “I just want to take a little stroll, thank you doctor.” I replied and walked out before she could say anything. Once outside the hospital, I exhaled deeply, trying to gather my thoughts as I walked down the street. “Calm down, everything will be fine… He’s never going to find out. Doctor Wayne is gone for a few days and he’ll be back sooner than you think, don’t beat yourself up.” I whispered. After walking aimlessly for ten minutes, my restlessness reduced and I turned around, deciding it was best to head towards the hospital now. “Act normal, don’t allow them to find out, you know nothing about this, he threatened you and you had no other option.” I whispered under my breath and I jumped out of the road when I saw a car darting towards me with great speed. “What the…” My voice died down when Stella stepped out. “What’s wrong? Has the alpha dumped you? So fast?” She demanded and I turned around, trying to head towards another direction but she blocked my path. “What? Can’t you speak? Yesterday you had balls but now it seems like you have nothing left… Why are you walking? Can’t the Alpha spare one of his little toys? Did the Alpha throw you out of the pack house?” She demanded, pushing back my shoulder and I fisted my hands, trying to suppress my anger. “Stella, I do not want to fight, I’ve got important things to do, please get out of my way.” I pleaded softly and she scoffed. “And if I don’t? Are you going to throw me out of the pack? Where are the guards, I’m scared.” She taunted, feigning fear and I exhaled. “Stella, please just let me be, can’t you leave me alone!” I demanded, trying to suppress my anger and she chuckled. “You’re nothing but a maid, how dare you talk to Stella this way?” One of her friends interjected and I scoffed. “What is going on here!” My body shook with fear as Alpha Xavier’s voice rang out. I turned around in astonishment while Stella’s face went pale. “Alpha… Alpha Xavier… We were just driving casually when Aurora stepped forward and refused to leave…” “Not a word from you, Aurora, what’s going on.” My jaws dropped as he silenced Stella. Her face turned red from rage and I couldn’t help but swallow. “I was taking a stroll from the hospital when she blocked my path.” I replied and he turned to Stella, his eyes flashing with anger. “You have a week of community service, the next time I see you trying to bully my Luna, I’ll have you locked up for a month.” He threatened and she shivered with fear as she nodded and ran into the car with her minion. “Thank you so much, Alpha.” I muttered, bowing my head because goddess knew my hands were trembling. “Why are you walking outside? Didn’t you see the driver?” “I… it’s nothing, I just wanted to take a little stroll.” I replied and he stared at me for a moment before nodding. “I’ll head back to the hospital now, thank you alpha.” I turned around immediately, I was so close to melting and if I spent any more time, only the goddess knew what would happen.
