The discovery
Chapter Three; The Discovery
I've been weak and feverish for the past week, and to make it worse, no one even cares. As I rinse my hands and splash some water on my face after heaving out everything in my stomach for the third time that morning, I am afraid that my biggest fears could be true.
Flashes of what happened at the Alpha naming ceremony a month ago, runs through my mind.
But how can it be possible? I wonder, in my excitement about finally meeting my mate, I had purchased contraceptives a month before my twentieth birthday, and I think I remember talking one when I woke up that morning. My heartbeat spikes up sharply at the thought of taking a test and getting a positive result. Nevertheless, I decided to discreetly buy a pregnancy kit and take a test.
Going to the hospital for an official test is completely out of the question as everyone in the Great lake pack finds it hard to keep news to themselves.
Just like my rejection, after the ascension ceremony, EVERYONE knew how I was shamefully ditched by Alpha Zita and had my sister picked over me, even though she wasn't his chosen mate.
I had thought that in a week's time or so, they would realize that they were not supposed to be to be together, and Zita would realize that he had made a grave mistake by rejecting me, but no, the opposite was the case as they became much more closer, and rumor even has it that zita intends to name her as the pack's new Luna. In the past month, my sister has become a stranger,she made it expressly clear who was superior and who was inferior. She made sure I was assigned to the most menial jobs as a lowly omega with no rank, status, strength or accomplishment in the pack. I had no choice but to follow her orders like a Lost puppy as she threatened to get Zita to drive me out of the pack if I didn't. I know she can do it, after all, she has Zita wrapped around her little finger. If I get thrown out, that would mean death, I have no skills to survive outside the pack.
As for me and Zita, it seems like sixteen years of friendship went down the drain that day. With all his newly assigned Alpha duties, I rarely see him, and on the few occasions when I do see him, he completely ignores me and acts like he didn't see me. It hurts to lose our friendship, but I don't think I'm ever going to be able to forgive him, for how much he hurt me.
All that however was in the back of my mind, my thoughts were on the pregnancy test kit on my bed, I stood in the bathroom doorway and stared at it, telling myself to get it done with. I was about to pick it up, when the door flew open and Fera walked in, and of course before I could think of a way to hide it, she had stalked across the room and jerked it out of my hand.
" What's this?" She snapped.
" A pregnancy test kit," I replied.
" Don't try to be smart with me, what are you doing with this," she demanded.
What was I supposed to say?
I fucked the Lycan prince during Zita's ascension ceremony, and now I don't know whether am pregnant for him or not.
" It's for a friend,"I stuttered.
" What friend," she thunders as she grabs my neck and pins me to the wall, staring hatefully at me.
" She doesn't want anyone to know," I said.
" You expect me to believe that."
" What do you think, that I finally convinced Zita to have sex with me, that I convinced him am the better choice," I smirked ruefully. Knowing Fera, this was playing with fire, her anger had always been fierce.
I saw stars as she hit me in the face and hurled me to the floor.
" You're too pathetic for Zita, he'll never soil his hands with you," she snaps and stalks out of the room.
I pick up the discarded pregnancy test and go into the bathroom, making sure to close the door behind me. I follow the instructions and sit anxiously counting the minutes. I get up and pace back and forth as much as I can in the tiny bathroom, finally the five minutes are over, and I pick up the test kit. The results left me stunned.
