Whose Baby?

CARLA

The ceremony began but I couldn’t concentrate one bit. I was both consciously and subconsciously aware of every move Mint made, and even when he left the table unexpectedly.

I watched him stride across the lawn till he completely left the gathering. What could he be going for? Shouldn’t he be in his own celebration? Was my presence affecting him that much? I asked myself over and over again, till Emma cut into my train of thoughts.

“Carla? Carla are you even here?”

“Yes, yes, I am, sorry,” I chuckled nervously at Emma who looked like she was sure something was definitely wrong.

“You sure?”

“Yes, sure!”

“Sorry for asking but Aileen soiled her napkin, can you help me get another one from the travel bag in the guest room we got dressed?”

“Of course, Em, I’ll be right back.” I said to her getting up as though I had been waiting for an opportunity to leave this place. It was feeling stuffy and uncomfortable already, and I don’t know why, I wanted to see Mint.

I badly needed to see him because I realized I have never properly apologized to him after what I did. That doesn’t guarantee anything of course, but, I wanted to do that so I could have some peace of mind after he takes his chosen mate, so I’ll be able to live through the hell of watching him with someone else.

For just one year. I’ll disappear after that.

For some reason, the lyrics of Adele’s song Hello came into mind. I was sorry, but it didn't matter anymore.

With those thoughts, I hurried down the garden to the guest room, hoping to get Aileen’s napkin and then go look for Mint. My shoulders bumped into someone else’s on my way to the room, but the person didn’t even act like she brushed shoulders with someone, so I ignored as well. I entered the room but froze as I saw someone on the bed, and before I could check who it was, the smell hit me.

It was definitely my mate’s scent, but what was he doing here? I wondered, tethering between going to get the napkin or run back out. I let my eyes run over his figure as he lay on the bed. This was my opportunity to apologize to him but he didn’t look like himself right now, maybe I could come back later, no?

But before I could open the door to leave, Mint grabbed my both arm, dragging me to the bed. He reeked of alcohol but his scent made it bearable. I tried pulling my arms away, because he was totally acting strange, but he wouldn’t budge, his grip on my arms was so firm, it felt like my bones were going to snap.

He threw me on the bed roughly, looking like a totally different person, like all his animalistic instincts were present. His grey eyes turned darker, his smooth hair now disheveled but added to his allure all the more.

I was kicking, trying to get him off me so we could talk or better still run away, but he held the collar of his white shirt with one hand and ripped it apart, causing buttons to fly about and at the same time, exposing firm, strong body that made me slow the pace of my kicking.

I was too dazed.

He was pure animal, he lurched at me possessively, and swallowing the whimpering sounds I didn’t know I was making with his smooth and full lips. His chest rumbled gutturally, sending both terrified and anxious shivers down my core.

He explored every corner of my mouth greedily, holding me against him, ripping my clothes from my body feverishly, like he had a grudge against them. It was happening too fast, too spontaneously, the air in the room suddenly drained, but I didn’t want him to stop, even though the feel on his hands on my skin was driving me insane, even though his exposed member was scarily gigantic but at the same time thrilling.

In one fluid movement, he tore my panties from my waist, my bra from my chest, squeezing my right breast and at the same time, driving a finger into my already dripping honeypot. I gasped out loud, sinking my fingers into his arms as I grabbed on to them to steady myself.

I wasn’t thinking straight anymore, never have I ever experienced such pleasure in my entire life. My whole body was burning for his touch, welcoming all his sensuous hands had to offer, “Pleease don’t stop!” I cried as he attacked my n*****s with his teeth, nibbling, sucking, and biting.

I arched my back up, wanting more, wanting all of him inside of me, our sweaty skins merged into one, he growled like a beast in a frenzy, like he couldn’t hold back anymore and then grabbed my tiny waist firmly with both hands, shoving his rock rigid member into me with one hard long thrust.

“Aaarh!” I screamed in pain, it felt as though my inside was on fire, but he didn’t stop. He continued thrusting harder, faster, like an uncontrollable animal, and as my core expanded, the more electrifying it felt, like we both had one soul and was speaking to each other without saying any words.

My whole body began to quiver, a feeling that tore my senses into shreds causing me to tighten my grip around his arm as he pounded into me none stop till his body shuddered on top of mine as he released his seed into me, clutching my waist like his lifeline.

“Mirrrraa!” he groaned hoarsely, causing me to stiffen instantly.

With the same intensity, he leaned in and sank his teeth into the crook of my neck, it stung at first but send tremors through me. Tremors that weren’t sensual anymore but nauseating.

Mira?

Did he just call me Mira? My heart tore into shreds as I realized he didn’t even know I was the one whose virginity he just took. Who he just marked. He dared mark me even after mistaking me for someone else.

He thought it was his chosen mate, Mira.

I stared at him as he lay limp on the bed, naked and vulnerable beside me, snoring softly. He had no idea how much my heart was breaking right now but was peacefully asleep.

A stray tear slid down my eyes as I shoved his hands away and sat up on the bed. A fresh coat of blood stained the white sheets and between my legs.

I stood up slowly from the bed, my whole body was aching, but my heart ached more. More tears ran down, I couldn’t hold back the wrenching sobs that escaped my throat as I managed to walk to the bathroom. A scalding pain shot through my inside down to my core, my back was throbbing and so was my head.

I looked around the room and realized with teary eyes that I had come into the wrong room. This wasn’t the room I was supposed to come to. A simple mistake that was going to cost me so much now, I thought, turning on the water in the bath.

I only washed my scalding puss.y carefully, it hurt like hell, like fire was set inside of it. After washing for a while, it seemed to have cooled off a bit, I turned off the tap and went back into the room. Mint was still sleeping to my relief, and I didn’t want him to know I was the one, so covered my body with a white oversized bathrobe in the bathroom, picked up my clothes and undies without making a sound and left the room quietly.

He was still sleeping when I left and would never know what he had done, how much tonight was going to haunt me for the rest of my life.

Did I deserve this too? I know I hurt him, but did I deserve this hell as well? Could I even blame him? He didn’t even know I was the one from the start.

My breath hitched in my throat, I wrapped my hand around my body in an attempt to hold myself together, walking through the darkest part of the pack. I was taking the most obscure route of the pack where people rarely came to especially at night to the maid’s quarters to get a good bath and then wait for the party to be over before coming to see Emma.

The question was how do I face everyone now? Mint? Alec? How do I carry this alone?

I dragged myself along the dark forest filled with shadows of trees and shrubs, and when I was almost close to the back gate of the maid’s quarters, I noticed a figure in few meters away. It was definitely that of a male and he seemed tall.

My heart beat increased.

Should I run? I wondered, even though I could barely carry myself. I knew it was possible for danger to be in these woods but there was no other way. I couldn’t go back neither could I run so I froze in the same spot, waiting for the person to leave.

However, today wasn’t really my lucky day. The figure noticed my presence because of the sound of a dead leaf I mistakenly stepped on. And he started advancing towards me while I took frightened steps backwards, but before I could turn around and run, he grabbed my arm and twirled me to face him.

“Carla?” he asked with a husky voice, and then it hit me.

“Alec!” I said a bit too excitedly, relieved that it wasn’t some potentially dangerous stranger. I sighed in relief and smiled up at him.

I couldn’t see his face properly, but his voice was enough to make me feel safe and comforted. However, I noticed he was tightening his grip around my arm in an alarming manner, and his gaze was a bit unsteady, and disturbing.

“Alec are you okay?”

“Carla, you know I love you right?” he leaned closer so that our face was almost touching. His presence suddenly felt uncomfortable rather than comforting. “I’ve always loved you, Carl, I came out here to practice how I was going to confess to you, and even had to get drunk so I won’t feel too nervous. s**t! I’m not supposed to say that to you, right?” he laughed in a way that totally freaked me out.

I swallowed hard and tried to take a step back, but couldn’t budge due to his strong grip. I had no idea he had feelings for me, this was news to me, or maybe he was drunk, and didn’t know what he was saying right?

“Alec, let’s go back inside, I’ll give you something to help you sober up,” I tried to sound confident but couldn’t really pull it off.

After what happened few minutes ago, how could I not be scared?

“I don’t want to be sober Carla, I want you to be my girlfriend!” he yelled in the most forceful voice ever to come from him. “I want you so much Carla,” he drawled and then I realized I was in trouble.

Before I could push him away from me, he shoved me to the ground like a lunatic, and right there, forced himself on me.

“Alec, please no!”

I tried to push him away, I begged, scratched, screamed both in pain and agony but no one came, no one heard.

My virgina was on fire, he pounded into me like a monster, completely ignoring my pleas and wails, adding to the fresh bruises I had down there. He sank his fangs into me as he thrust into me more and more.

It hurt so much, I wanted to die, and I simply wanted to stop breathing so the pain could go away. How could all these happen to me in just one day?

After he forced his seed inside of me, he got up from my body and left me on the cold ground, paralyzed with pains all over my body, my throat was dry and scratchy from all my unheard screams. I was too weak to cry, I couldn’t anymore.

“Help me, please….” I managed weakly, but he didn’t even turn back.

I had to use the little strength I had to save myself, so I started to crawl as I couldn’t even lift myself up. I gathered the soiled white robe around my shivering body and crawled one step at a time. I had no idea where I was heading to but I didn’t stop. I had no wolf to help me, to bear my pain, and once again, I was alone in this frighteningly dark forest.

My hands began to feel numb and hurt and at some point, I couldn’t move anymore. I had stopped feeling pains, and my whole body felt disoriented and my heart seemed to be shriveling up as well.

A wave of dizziness rolled over me, dragging my senses into darkness. I hope this was death, the only way I could escape all these traumatizing memories.
