"Splash!", came the sound of water. Haltida suddenly sat up, gasping for air, she was coughing hard.
Her gaze suddenly moved to the person that stood right in front of her.
" Welcome back to earth, sleeping beauty", Rhoda said sweetly.
" Would you get the heck out of that bed", She suddenly yelled.
Haltida rolled her eyes. " What does the future Luna want with me ", She replied weakly, She could still feel pains in between her legs.
"I love the fact that you know your place Young Lady", She smiled.
"But to think of the freaking nerves you got not to say your greetings!", She glared at her.
"Oh about that" " she yawned stretching out her hands.
"It should be the other way around", She slowly dropped her hands.
Rhoda stared at her. " What do you mean?", She asked.
" Don't tell me the future Luna is this dumb", She hit her forehead softly.
" I mean…", She slowly got on her feet, standing right before.
" How do you think it would feel if the current Luna, greets the future Luna?", She asked a sly smile dangling on her lips.
" To be clear, I won't pay any greeting to a shameless pig like you", She dusted her hand.
" You…!", Rhoda yelled raising her hand in the air to slap her. Haltida caught it just in time again.
" I clearly remembered that the last time, I told you not to try this s**t again, or else I would rip your hands off ", She yelled, crushing her hand under her grip.
So tell me, do you want to die?", She seethed her teeth, dusting her hand off angrily.
Rhoda carefully massaged her hand staring at Haltida angrily " You bastard!" She yelled.
" Hey sweetie you do not need to keep revealing the dirty deeds of your parents?", Haltida retorted.
"Oh, my bad", Rhoda clasped her mouth.
"At least I still got parents, not like a worthless soul like you whose parents are rotting right in the grave, leaving you to live a pathetic life of pains. You…".
A hot slap landed on her cheek before she could even finish the sentence.
She fell to the floor almost immediately banging her head hard against the wooden frame of the bed.
"You talk s**t about my parent and I'll rip your tongue out!", Haltida yelled.
The door suddenly burst open revealing George.
Immediately he rushed to Rhoda. He slowly rested Rhoda's head on his shoulder.
" It's time for my mate to take revenge on behalf of his dear Luna", Rhoda thought.
Her hands fell to the ground almost immediately, and her eyelid shut, she was unconscious.
"Rhoda!", George yelled out, staring at the blood that flew out of her head. He carried her and slowly placed her on the bed.
**
The pack doctor rushed in immediately. He checked Rhoda's pulse almost immediately.
He checked her breath, placing her hand beneath her nose, it seemed fine to him.
He slowly cleaned her wound and bandaged her head.
"She would be fine Alpha, it's just a little scratch". " She would heal up soon", The pack doctor added.
" Do you mean, she got only a little scratch and she made a fuss over it? ", He asked.
" No Alpha, she had some internal injuries in her system as well, but since she is a werewolf, it will heal up soon" " he lied.
"Ok", George nodded carefully massaging Rhoda's knuckles.
"I would take my leave", Soon the pack doctor was out of sight.
George suddenly took his gaze to Haltida. Haltida's heart skipped a bit almost immediately. George angrily walked toward her. you! He pointed his finger at her. Haltida swallowed hard.
**
He suddenly grabbed her by the neck, strangling her.
Haltida could feel her eyes almost popping out and the only thing she could helplessly do was to hit his hand continuously.
He suddenly let go of her neck making her drop to the floor almost immediately.
She coughed out loudly, her eyes almost popping out of its socket.
George stared at her "Warned you not to mess with my Luna!", He yelled.
He grabbed her grabbed her by the arm and started dragging her out.
She could only plead helplessly. " I'm Sorry, please stop!" Her tears were almost blinding her.
He suddenly let go of her hand. They were now out in the field, where the warriors are usually at.
Haltida Clutched onto her tummy tightly, her lips were shaking.
'No, her baby, She had to protect him, at any cost'. She trembled.
"Lash her a hundred strokes", George's voice resounded in the air.
Haltida's eyes widened. "An...an... an... hundred strokes?", Her lips trembled. She suddenly grabbed onto George's legs.
" No, please don't do this… .". " I know I was wrong, I should never have done that?...".
"I would be careful next time, please I would die!!.." She kept ranting.
George angrily dusted her hands off his legs. "You made the mistake yourself, now dwell in its consequences..".
" I don't care if you die in the process, to be frank, I would like to see you die?", With that he walked away.
"No. Please!!", She yelled staring at the whip the warriors held.
Two hands grabbed her suddenly, pulling her away. " Help!!", She yelled out fidgeting the warriors but she was no match for them.
They slowly tied her to a tree Haltida's heartbeat quickened.
Her….Her.. Child. The first stroke of the cane landed on her back and she immediately let out a loud yell.
**
Rhoda suddenly sat up, a sly smile dangling on her lips. The screams emitting from Haltida were like music to her ears.
She suddenly felt the urge to poke. She suddenly rushed into the bathroom, emptying everything in there.
'Her hand slowly went to her tummy. "Oh no! It couldn't be she couldn't be pregnant for Samuel'. She gulped down.
She suddenly heard movement coming from the room. She quickly adjusted her dress downward, washing her face.
She rinsed out her mouth, pouring everything out. She pushed her hair backward, grabbing hold of the towel.
She slowly wiped the water off her face. She slowly placed the towel, exactly where she met it but suddenly she felt something below her feet.
She slowly extracted her feet. Her eyes widened at the thing she stepped on.
It was a pregnancy kit and on it, it displayed two red lines.
" Oh no!" she muttered. " Hältida is pregnant?" She raised her brows.
**
Haltida's breath was now heavy, she could barely keep her eyelids open.
The rope slowly loosened around her, and immediately she dropped to the ground.
" Throw her out of the borders, From today she seizes to be the member of our pack and my wife! ", He declared.
" Yes, Alpha!" The warriors chorused. Haltida felt herself slowly being dragged out, but this feeling was faint.
She had wasted everything, she had lost everything, she loved the wrong person and got the right punishment.
For everything she did, everything. She hoped for. Was this the final result?
The warrior flung her, and she landed straight on the floor.
The warrior found their way back into the pack and soon she was left alone, completely alone.
With the last strength in her, She clutched onto her stomach, and a tear slowly rolled down her cheek.
' It's over, all over', With that thought in mind, her eyes shut closed.
She fell unconscious, lying on the grass.
Almost immediately, a figure appeared from nowhere and slowly scooped her in his hands.
