"Hmm hmm ahhhh, help me!! someone please," I screamed as I run for my life. My legs were hurting as I've ran for what seems like ages. I can feel the warriors gaining on me and feared for my life and the life growing inside me.
Yes I'm pregnant and I'm running away from my mate. It's actually funny to think that one day I'll abandon my mate, my fated mate, chosen for me by the moon goddess herself for fear that he'll kill me and my unborn child.
He was never this cruel to me. He used to adore me. He was over the moon when he found out I was pregnant, he took me to places, designed our baby's crib even though the pregnancy was just two weeks old. He made promises, promises he never kept. Tears rolled down my face as the memories of our good times kept flooding in my head.
He was the most handsome man I've ever seen on the night of my 18th birthday when his sweet scent of forest leaves and wood hit me, I couldn't take my eyes off him. I remember my heart doing somersault when he approached me and claimed me as his mate.
Everything changed when he found out that I was having a baby girl. He has always wanted a son to take after him as the beta of White Moon pack after the reign of the current alpha. But as moon goddess may have it, he was disappointment.
"come back, don't go there" I hear one of the warriors call behind me bringing me back from my thoughts. That was when I realized that I've crossed the pack's border. I looked back and saw the warriors stopping at the pack's border, they are not allowed to crossed else you'd be branded a rogue, but I didn't care, I'd rather die out here as a rogue than go back to the pack and the man that betrayed me.
Gathering the little strength left inside of me, and knowing that I'm partially free from the White Moon pack was comforting. Partially because I felt the pack's bond severed but the mate's bond is still there, I couldn't get my mate to reject me without him suspecting anything.
As I ran deeper into the forest, I felt a kick and something wet dripping down my legs. "oh no no no no no no no, this can't be happening right now" I said as the contractions kick in. I couldn't move or run again so I went to a nearby tree for support. "we're going to be okay my angel, just hang in there okay" I whispered to my baby who's fighting to come out.
"someone please help me" I screamed as the pains intensified. At that moment I didn't care if there are wild animals or probably rogues lurking around, I just wanted to hold my bundle of joy in my hands.
I screamed again, this time louder than the first scaring the best away. I kept walking deeper into the forest holding the trees for support.
"We can do it, just hang in there" my wolf Kelly said. This is the first time she has spoken to me ever since I ran away from our mate. She has been awfully quiet, though missing her mate because of the bond, she couldn't handle the betrayal, we couldn't handle the betrayal.
"ahhhh" i screamed. Part of me wished I hadn't left, I could've been in my mate's arms right, he would've by my side throughout this pains. Even though he treated me badly, he still wouldn't want me to go through this alone.
"I can't do this" I cried to myself as i slumped down.
"I'm going to try push by myself, you have to be strong for the two of us okay?" I said to my wolf Kelly.
"I'll be with you and I'll be strong for us" she whispered.
I silently prayed to the moon goddess to help me get through this ordeal as I began to push.
"mmmmmm.. mmmmmm" I pushed breathing heavily.
"ahhhhhhhh"
"mmmmmm" I was losing strength and fast. I cried to the moon goddess again begging her to help me, but it seems she was far away.
"ahhhhhhhh" I pushed again with all my strength that I almost passed out. Just then I heard the twigs snap, I quickly turned my attention towards the direction but couldn't see anything or anyone.
"please moon goddess," I started, too tired to move " protect my baby, even if I don't make it, let my baby live please". I hear the twigs snap again, this time with faint voices from the distance. I couldn't move so I laid still waiting for the worst to happen. It could be rogues or hunters or worse, the rival pack. I closed my eyes as I hear the steps and voices get closer and closer and closer until I could feel them whoever they are above me and I dared not open my eyes.
"she's a rogue" I hear one of them say. " she doesn't smell like a rogue" the second person said.
"is she dead?" a different voice asked. Seems they are all female.
"no she isn't, she's just exhausted, she's still breathing" the first voice I heard answered. "what should we do? she's in pains, seems like her baby is coming" the third voice said. "let's help her have her baby then we'll take her back to the pack" the second voice answered and my heart skipped at the mention of pack.
"oh moon goddess let them not take me back to that man" I whispered to myself. "they're not from our pack, I can feel it" I wolf said relaxing my tensed body. I slightly open my eyes to see three girls dressed like warriors hovering above me. They won't be more than 16 years.
"hey it's ok, we won't hurt you". one of them said to me, that was the first voice. " what should we do to help?" the other one asked.
"you can start by holding the baby when she comes out alright" I said.
"yeah sure".
With my new found friends, wouldn't call them enemies yet, I pushed with all my strength, I wasn't going to give up.
I remembered all the things i had planned for my baby once she's born and pushed harder.
"the baby is almost out" I hear one of them say and I pushed with my last strength until I heard a piercing cry of a baby. I cried out of joy as I held my baby. She was too tiny and has the most beautiful eyes just like her father, too bad he won't see her.
Having ran so much being exhausted from pushing my baby out, I became dizzy and lightheaded. "are you okay" I hear one of them ask " stay with us, come on" "hurry up" I kept hearing the faint voices till I blacked out.
