Bleeding for you

KIRA’S POV

It felt too comfortable to wake up in Ace’s hands every day. He would wake up early, leave me breakfast in bed, and then return to make love to me, repeating how he wanted to make some pups with me.

As the days passed, it still felt surreal how I had been hailed as the Luna of the Crimson Pack.

Luna Kira.

Hearing that still baffles me.

To think that I was just once a human, abandoned and hated by my own family, to being pulled into this wonderful place.

I have zero regrets.

With Ace by my side. An alpha who treats me like his queen every day.

Everything has been going well for me.

No wars and no battles so Ace could stay with me longer.

But something’s amiss. And it scares me the most. How nice and peaceful things have been for the past few days makes me think that something big might happen.

And it was just in time when I felt my stomach hurt so bad. I didn’t know how many months I had skipped from having my menstruation, and now it’s coming.

I feel moody, irritated, and emotional in everything that I stayed in my room for the whole day. Hearing and seeing Ace was too irritating for me now.

He was by the door, opening the door halfway for me as he peeked, “Baby, please? Let me see you.”

“No. Just stay there.” I have to make him understand that this is a human thing and how bad we have stomach pains every time we have it.

Even Ace’s scent irritates me, and it feels pungent to me that I forbid him from entering my room.

“Please? Just one hug?” He asked again, in hopes I would agree. But I don't want to see him now. I felt like puking every time I smell him nearby.

His lips formed into a pout, “You hate me now?”

“No, Ace, it's just I am not in the mood.”

“But your bleeding is…attracting me. Like what my pheromones are doing with you.”

I blinked, just knowing that now. So my menstruation drives him crazy like that? I didn’t know that would be the effect for him!

I am not even purposely seducing him!

“I want to lick you.”

I gritted my teeth, having to become strong before I give in to him. No. I don’t want to see him licking my…blood down there.

That’s disgusting. My blood down there is dirty. And that would just be weird. Or do werewolves do that to their mates?

But I am still human after all.

Gosh, hanging out with werewolves has made me forget my biological nature.

When Ace still got the same reply of no, he suddenly got tired and let me have my own space.

“Come on, baby. I’m just here if you need me.” I could hear him saying from the door but I could feel a nerve pulling from my head hearing his voice.

“Stay away from me, Ace.” I snapped, knowing how harsh I sounded. As much as I wanted to stop myself from acting bratty, I couldn’t even prevent it.

And I am craving human food. For fast food snacks. “I want fries and ice cream,” I mumbled.

“I’ll buy it for you. Wait for me, baby.” I could hear him now leaving the door and I closed my eyes to rest. Ah, I had always had bad dysmenorrhea, but it had never come to this point that I would despise the people I love.

I woke up to the soft knocking on the door, “Here’s your snack, I’ll just leave it here.”

I grimaced, not wanting to eat anything anymore.

I didn’t stand up, well, I could’t stand up on myself. Even Mark, one of my closest here wasn’t able to get near me.

Just then, I could see that I had dirtied the whole white sheets. Red blood spilled all over the floor and it was at this point that I don’t think this is just normal bleeding.

“Ace!” I yelled for help, crying now. The door opened, and a pack healer comes in walked toward me and instantly inspects me.

Mark came to my side, “Are you alright?”

A tear escaped from my eyes as I shut my eyes close, “It’s too painful!”

The patch healer gasped at the amount of blood I was losing, “This is bad, Beta Mark, she’s losing too much blood.”

I grabbed Mark’s hand for support, and he was also panicking.

“I’ll call the alpha,” Mark mumbled, mind linking him.

I gritted my teeth through the pain, wondering why the hell is Ace not here. “Where’s Ace?”

“Oh, he was staying outside because you told him you didn’t want to see him.”

I felt a bit guilty for saying bad things to him earlier, and he was patient in dealing with me. I have to make it up to him next time when I am alright.

***

Strong big hands were holding my tiny delicate hands the moment I woke up.

I instantly knew of this touch without even having to look at him.

Ace was by my side. He was sitting by the chair beside me with his eyes close.

He must have gotten tired from taking watch of me.

I was suddenly reminded of what happened to me and I cringed, grimacing at the thought of how I acted with Ace. I felt sorry for him with my mood wings.

To be honest, that was the most painful experience I had encountered. My normal dysmenorrhea was painful, yes, but the pain was still bearable and I could still walk at that time.

But now, that was hurting me and my whole body. I couldn’t even gather myself and walk or even stand now.

But Thank goodness that I felt better now. The pain has subsided for a bit.

Enough that I felt that I could move a bit without grimacing in pain.

I softly brushed my hand on Ace who was sleeping peacefully. I do not want to disturb his sleep but I felt thirsty.

His eyes fluttered open and looked at me with his gentle eyes.

I sent an apologetic smile, “Hi.”

His lips then formed a smile, “Hello, my angel.”

He then frowned, eyes trailing down to my stomach, and asked, “How are you feeling now?”

“Better…”

He nodded, sitting upright, grabbing the glass of water from the bedside table, and offered it to me, “Here, drink some water.”

“What happened…after I blacked out?” I asked.

He draw a heavy breath, “You lost a lot of blood earlier...I came in a rush and saw you passing out. I was too worried to death, Kira. I am glad you are still alive.”

I nodded, “I am so sorry for making you worry like that. It was just too painful. I never experienced that kind before…I felt that I was bleeding to death.”

“Because you are bleeding to death.”

That made me scowl, “What?”

His frown then changed into a chuckle, “You don’t know?”

“Know what?”

At this point, I was confused with him, “It's your body, baby, I thought you know and just kept it from me.”

I shook my head at him, what the hell is he saying? He is acting strange.

“I am not keeping anything from you, Ace.”

He nodded, “I know. But I figured it's time you should know this….” He paused for a moment. “You have a baby inside you, Kira.”

I blinked, “A what?”

His small smile turned into a wide grin, “Yes, we’re going to have our pups. You’re going to be a mother, Kira. The mother of our pups.”
