Chapter 72

I laid face up on the bed thinking about what Xavier said

“If I drink enough blood my wolf could come back” his voice echoed in my head

“Will that stop him for good” he nodded

“Then why don’t you do that; don’t you want to stop him once and for all?” he shook his head “why not?” I hissed frustrated that he would rather keep killing for the rest of his life than end it once and for all by bringing his wolf back

“If my wolf comes back, I could never let you go” he said in a low soft voice

“Why would your wolf wanna keep me prisoner?”

“You’re his mate remember; you wouldn’t be a prisoner…but he would never let you go” he breathed, his eyes staring into space “I’m already having a hard enough time keeping my distance, it will be next to impossible with him around” his voice was strained as he spoke

He is willing to confine himself to a life of killing while at the same time struggling with the demon inside him for all eternity, it was so sweet of him and it broke my heart, I can’t believe he cares that much about me, he is willing to put himself through hell for me

“I don’t get it” I sighed “shake it off, Scarlett” I took the page from the book out of my back pocket and read

“So basically, my body stays in one place while my mind wanders, the spell puts all sorts of images in my head and after a certain period of time I come back to my senses...that’s why he wasn’t worried…so how do I break the spell?” I looked through the entire page and there was nothing, no clue at all on how I can break through

“Knock, knock, knock” came from the door, I hide the paper underneath the pillow and opened the door

“Anything I can do for you Xavier?”

“I’ve wanted to do this for so long” he stepped in taking me by the waist, for some reason he smelled like Aiden, I sunk into his Aiden arms, I closed my eyes and breathed him in, he pulled my cheek up to his face and kissed me softly, I wrapped my hands around his neck deepening the kiss

He held me tight, his hands roaming my body, I moaned in his mouth, sparks flying with every touch, he lifted me up and I straddled him between my thighs, I gasped as he crashed on top of me on the bed, he took of my shirt and threw it on the floor, he pushed down my bra and sucked on my hard nipple

My body melted at his touch, I wiggled my hips as he took off my pants, he took my panties off with his teeth, I moaned holding on tight to the headboard as he cupped my sex with his hand letting out a deep moan arching my back in anticipation

He slowly inserted his finger making me tremble, he moved up leaving a trail of soft kisses, my skin made sensitive by his soft lips, he invaded my mouth and my hands tugged at his hair, my hips meeting every stroke of his hand, he inserted another finger and I moaned in his mouth, my orgasm inching closer and closer making me thrust my hips faster and faster meeting him at every stroke

“I’ve missed you so much Aid”

“What…what the fuck did you just say to me?!” he boomed looking down at me, his eyes turned a dark red colour filled with rage,

“Oh my god Xavier, get off me, what are you doing?” I looked up at him tears welling up in my eyes, he violently pulled his fingers out of me, making me grimace in pain

“Aiden… really?” he got off the bed pacing up and down, I got off the bed found my cloths and quickly started getting dressed, he huffed breathing loudly, his hands tugged at his hair pulling violently, then moved to his hips as he looked at me shaking his head, he growled softly and walked out banging the door behind him making me jump

“Fuck!” he roared outside the door “why does he always get everything!” I heard a loud crash and the sound of glass breaking and the loud boom of the door slamming shut echoed through the cabin, I slowly peaked through my bedroom door and the kitchen table was turned over, I picked it up as well as the broken glass, I hissed as it cut me in the process.

“I cheated on Aiden, what is wrong with me, when did I become such a slut?” I crashed down on the floor crying uncontrollably, “he’s gonna want to divorce me now, I would divorce me, they’ll probably call me the slutty Luna… oh my god what am I going to do?” my breathing became shallow, and I started hyperventilating, the all too familiar sensation of a panic attack breaching the surface

“I need some air; I need to get out of here”

“Wait, that’s a big cut you need to get it under control first” my wolf barked at me, I could hear the concern in her voice, but I didn’t care

“So, what if I die, I deserve it” I got off the floor and reached for the handle, my mind a bit woozy from the blood loss, I got outside and breathed deeply staring at the moon, feeling its judgement on me, my blood dripped on the soft grass and the cloudy dark mist surrounding the trees started to fade, I watched as a path formed, I followed it.

It was strange, with every drop of my blood that fell on the ground the path become clearer, I squeezed my hand making more blood come out as I ran down the illuminated path

“Aaaahh” I screamed as I feel down a steep hill, grunting every time my body hit the ground, I reached the bottom and tried to get up, but I was too woozy, I crashed back down, and everything went dark

The feeling of being bounced up and down woke me up, I slowly opened my eyes and saw Xavier above me, he was huffing and puffing uncontrollably like he was running.

“No, Xavier please, I can’t go back there

“We’ll be there soon my love, please hold on, don’t leave me, please Scar…hold on for me” he huffed, and I blacked out again

The sound of relentless incessant beeping woke me up, my eyes opened to double colour walls, the bottom half a dark blue colour and the top half a shimmering white colour, I tried to sit up, but a sharp pain in my left arm kept me in place, I hissed looking at my aching hand, and followed the tube that was stabbed in it to the half empty blood bag

I wiggled my itchy nose and rubbed it with my other hand removing the breathing tube

“That’s my wife in there, I deserve to know what the hell is going on” a voice boomed from outside the door

“I understand sir, but you need to calm down, the doctor will be over shortly, he will answer all your questions” the female voice sounded soothing and calm

“Well tell him to hurry the fuck up, I can’t just sit here waiting for her to wake up” he barked, I swallowed not knowing if it was Xavier or Aiden behind the door, I waited patiently for him to come bursting through the door, time passed, and I slowly drifted off to sleep.

I opened my eyes slowly and saw Aiden sleeping on the chair next to me, I gently rubbed the back of his hand and his eyes shot open looking up at me.

“Scar, oh thank God, I was so worried” he grabbed my face and kissed me gently

“Nice to see you awake” the doctor said as he came in “well Mrs Braveheart my name is Dr Romero, how are you feeling?”

“Okay, I guess just a bit tired” I said with a chuckle trying to lighten the mood

“Well, I have some good news and some bad news, the good news is you’re pregnant, I would say about twelve to fourteen weeks, but the sonar will confirm all that for you” I looked at him in absolute disbelief, Aiden looked at me and then at the doctor and then back at me

“I don’t understand” I said shaking my head

“What’s the bad news?” Aiden asked the doctor

“Um” he hesitated, and I could tell he was uncomfortable “well you have some vaginal bleeding, it’s not extreme but we would like to keep you here for a couple of days while we observe and monitor the situation” Aiden nodded, his eyes wide with shock

“Dr I’m not pregnant, there is no way” I shook my head frantically in disbelieve, Xavier couldn’t have been right, there is absolutely no way, I tried to think of when last I had my period and I drew a blank, I’ve been so busy with exams that I hadn’t paid attention, skipping my period didn’t bother me before I started having sex.

The doctor shifted his weight from one leg to the other

“I’ve scheduled a sonar at three pm today and with that we’ll be able to get all the answers to your questions, for now get some rest and try to eat something okay” he nodded at Aiden and walked out

“Scar, you know what this means” his smile radiating through his eyes “we are gonna have a baby, a little pup running around with his cute little feet” he chuckled his happiness filled the air, I nodded trying to hide the worry that Aiden might not be the father

“What’s wrong” he said brushing my hair back seeing right through me, I shook my head trying to hold the tears at bay “Scar talk to me" I bit my lip and took a deep breath

“Xavier told me that I’m pregnant…he wants the baby…he said the baby is his” I looked at him as the silence thickened, my heart broke seeing him crouched down on the bed, avoiding my gaze, his body language told me how hurt he was, the tears started streaming down my face, as I muffled the sobs

“Maybe we can do a DNA test” I whispered, and he glared at me and got up knocking the chair down, the sound of it crashing on the floor making me jump slightly in my bed.

“We are identical twins Scar, a DNA test won’t help” he gave me one last look his eyes bearing down at me and he walked out, I laid back on the bed and sobbed,

“What am I going to do? I didn’t ask to be tricked by Xavier, oh God what if this is Xavier's child, please God let be Aiden's, please I beg you” I sobbed my body pulsing with grief as I pleaded to the moon goddess for help.
