His Little Pregnant Mate

Chapter : 5. My dear mate..

Mila’s point of view :-

-------------------------------

I cried the entire night to cope with my broken heart. Thankfully, Ralph was also generous enough to leave me alone for the night. But how long can I escape from him? I have to face him one time. So, with the rising sun, I prepared myself for the pain of rejection. As the dawn came, I pulled my tired and sleepy body up and went to do my daily chores. Even though I have no mood to do anything, I am forced to do my part of the job if I want to stay in this pack. Now that I know I am not going to go anywhere, I better keep myself useful for the pack to keep my shelter.

With fear in my heart, I did all the works I do. Every time I hear some footsteps, my heart jump by thinking that Ralph is coming to reject me. But surprisingly, the day passed by as it was dusk and there was no sign of him nearby. Maybe he is too busy to remember rejecting me. As the sun was coming down, it was time for all those pack kids who went outside to train or to study. And I don’t know whether to hide or kill myself in embarrassment. I know now that they have spent some time outside, they must be gossiping about my misfortune outside. And as soon as they come, they are going to tease me for being the future alpha’s mate while I am just a mare slave. They are going to tease me for even dreaming of a mate because everyone knows that I don’t deserve to have a mate.

“Hey! Are you still daydreaming? Get back on earth and go to work. Make yourself useful..” The second worst person in this pack, our future beta, called me out all of a sudden as he came back from his training.

“I.. I have finished my works.”

“What? Did you just spoke onto my face? How dare you to speak up in front of me? It looks like yesterday’s lesson was not enough for you. You need to get some more of that.” With that, I became their target once more. They started punching me and kicking me as I was bearing all of it inside.

“Hey. Stop. Let her go.” For the first time in my life, someone stopped them from hitting me. For the first time, someone stood up for me. I picked my head up and peaked out of the circle I was in, to see who this angle is saving me from devils. I was amazed to see that it’s none other than the 1st worst person of the pack, our future alpha, Ralph. But why is he doing this? Why would he stand up for me?

“But Ralph? She just..”

“Leave her alone and go to your rooms. She is not worthy of your time. Go.”

“As you wish.” They are obliged to do as he says and had no choice except to leave me alone. I was equally amazed as all of them on why would he save me all of a sudden when he is the one who used to torture me the most.

“Are you okay?” Not only did he save me, but he also came to me and helped me get up from the ground. I don’t know what to say, so I just nod my head slightly.

“Okay. Umm.. Meet me at the garden at midnight. The same place in same time as yesterday. I have something important to say. Bye.” Leaving me dumbfounded, he left me standing in my place. What is there so important to say that he would ask me to meet him at midnight? I’m sure that there could be only one reason. He must want to see me to finish the rejection process by avoiding others’ eyes. The way everyone was reacting, I’m sure no one knows about us being mates yet.

But that little care of him affected me a lot. He stood up for me against his own friends. No one ever did that for me. Maybe he is not that bas as I thought. Maybe the mate bond was affecting him and he wanted to protect me from his friend. I wish I had my wolf too, to know what this mate bond feels like. I also want to experience the magic of finding my mate for the first time. But unfortunately, moon goddess didn’t give me that power to feel so. Maybe it’s for my better because if I can’t feel the attraction of the mate bond, I can’t feel the pain of it’s breaking too. This rejection will be easier for me, as it won’t affect me at all.

With a wish in my heart, I waited for the midnight to arrive. My wish is for the moon goddess to give me the blessing of my mate. I want my mate to accept me. I want my mate to love me and care for me for the rest of my life, like the way he saved me from his friends. I know it’s too much for a girl like me, but is there anything wrong for me to dream too? I want a better life too. I want to be happy like others too. If getting my mate can bring happiness in my life, I will accept anyone, let alone the person who tortured me the most since childhood. But it’s all in the hands of the goddess now.

Soon it was midnight, and I am really nervous about going to the garden and face Ralph. I don’t know what he is going to do or say. But I am prepared for everything. How worse can it get anyway from what I am living in? Gathering all the courage of my heart, I went to meet Ralph. And like he said, he was waiting for me in the place I have seen him standing yesterday. Taking a deep breath, I slowly walked towards him, but didn’t dare to utter a word.

“So, you are here. I thought you were not coming.” I was shocked to see how he realized I was there. I didn’t make any sound for him to notice.

“How did you know I was here?” Like an i***t, I forgot who I was talking to and asked a question I wasn’t supposed to. After making the mistake, I realized it and immediately got sacred to think about the consequences. But I was amazed to find him laughing instead of getting mad at me and hitting me. Is he okay?

“You are my mate. I can smell you from miles across. My heart will tell me every time you are nearby.” I feel like an i***t to not know that and not have that kind of senses. I am completely useless.

“Mial. I called you here to tell you that since I found out that you are my mate, I can’t be at peace for even a second. I never thought you would be my mate. I have waited for almost two years for my mate and I have to admit that I was really disappointed when I found that you are the one. I had no idea what I was going to do. For once, I thought rejecting you is the best idea for me..”

“I am ready for it. I am ready to accept your rejection. You can do it right now.” Tears came out of my eyes after hearing him. I was right. He is never going to accept a wolfless slave who has nothing to offer to an alpha. I can never become his mate and the luna of the Beaufort Wolves pack.

“Who said I am going to reject you? I said that I thought of rejecting you at once. But after a day without you beside me, I realized how hard it’s going to be to live without you for the rest of my life. My wolf was becoming insane from that the thought of rejecting you. Even if I want to do it, my wolf will never allow me to do it.” I was looking up at his face like all my dreams are coming true. The moon goddess heard my prayers at last. My mate wants me. My mates wants to love me and keep me with him. I am finally blessed.

“So, Mila. I was thinking if you would like to be my mate?” He finally made the proposal and I don’t know how to reply to him. So, without saying anything, I just rushed to him and hugged him. I don’t know if I am going to offence him by making such physical contact with him without permission, but I don’t care. He is my mate. It’s my right to hug him to show my emotions.

“Yes. I am going to be your mate. I am going to give you all of my love and I will never think of someone else except of you. I will be yours. I will always be yours.” I was so happy at this moment that I don’t remember when was the last time I was this excited. I am head over heels in joy and can’t think of what to do next.

“But Mila. I have something else to tell you too. Actually, I need something from you. Can you do me a favor?” He removed me from his body and made me look into his eyes.

“Yes. I will do anything for you. Just tell me, what can I do for you?”

“You know that in just few months, I am going to become the alpha of the Beaufort Wolves pack. And you also know how hardcore my father is. I am afraid that if he finds out that you are my mate and I am planning to make you mine, he will never agree with it. Instead, he will throw me out of the pack along with you. And both of us will become homeless rogues with no place to go and nothing to eat.” I gave it a thought and realized that whatever he said is only the truth. Our alpha will never allow a slave like me to become the luna of his pack. If he gets to know about our relationship, either he will force his son to reject me or throw us both out of the pack. And we can’t afford to do that. I will never want my mate to end up being a rogue just for me.

“Then what will we do? We can’t hide our relationship forever. He will find it out eventually.”

“I am also not planning to keep it a secret for forever. I want everyone to know that you are my mate as soon as possible. I want everyone to respect you and keep their eyes off of you. But all I am asking from you is that, can you keep this matter a secret until I become the alpha? Because once I get the power, my father will be in no position to make decisions for me. I will be free to choose my own mate then. I promise that on the day of the alpha ceremony, I will announce you as my mate in front of everyone and make you mine forever. Will you do this small thing for me? Please?”

“Of course. I will do anything to keep our relationship. I understand what you want to say and I am completely fine with it. I won’t tell anyone about us no matter what. I promise.”

“That’s a good girl. I’m sorry that I have to keep you as a slave when you are supposed to be treated as a queen. But live your old life for a few more months. Once I become the alpha, I will make sure no one dares to even look up at you. I won’t even let you eat on your own and there will be slaves to your personal works all the time.” He patted my head softly, and I felt like getting the entire world's blessing on my head at once. I am getting everything I ever wished for.

“I don’t need to be treated as a queen. I only want your love. It will be enough for me to live with for the rest of my life. And I have no problem to work in the pack house. It’s my own house. Why would I mind working for my own house and my own people?”

“I think the moon goddess chose a right person for me. You are talking like a prefect luna from now on. I am glad that I found you, my mate.” This time, Ralph is the one who pulled me close to him and took me in a hug. And for the first time, I felt a warm embrace engulfing me and giving me the comfort of a lifetime. Is this how the bonds feel like? The happy tickles I am having in my stomach, is this how falling in love feels like? All of this is a brand new experience for me and I am loving it more than anything.

From now on, a different part of my life began. I am not only a slave of this pack anymore and working for everyone has become a pleasurable job for me. I am now the luna of the pack. And that means all these people are a part of my family. Why would I be tired of working for my own people? I don’t mind anything they say to me and just smile at everything because I know who I am. And soon they will know it too and regret doing all theses to me. I see Ralph every once in a while and he doesn’t forget to hug me or sniff me whenever we are alone. But he never made further moves on me because I want to wait for everything until we become mates officially.

Life has become a lot easier for me. All the credit goes to my dear mate. Every time someone hits me, he feels the pain through the bond and comes to my rescue until he finally made the announcement to everyone that no one will ever touch me again. At first, everyone questioned his sudden feelings for me. But then he made everyone understand that now that he is going to become the new alpha of the pack, he doesn’t want anyone to suffer pains in his pack. Not even the slave. That convinced everyone and now I am free from all the tortures. But even though I am not in pain anymore, I can’t stop taking the pills the doctor gave me. Those pills have become my addiction and I can’t sleep without them. I have to learn to control my addiction before I become the luna, if I want to become perfect from everyway..
