The Triumph Of An Alpha

Episode Six

Chapter Six

Serena's POV

The mean nurse I encountered at the waiting room barged into the office and dragged Doctor Frederick out. According to her claims, there was an emergency which he needed to attend to. Of course I didn't protest

Uncontrollable tears began rolling down my cheeks as I sat there reminiscing about my ill luck, all the humiliation and embarrassment I had to go through all because I thought I was the problem

The urge to scream like I wanted to throw out my lungs was there and I could not resist it. Doctor Frederick and two other nurses rushed into the office upon hearing my cry of agony

“What is the matter, Miss? Why are you so pained about being pregnant, if you were a teenager, then I would understand but you're grown up and….“ Doctor Frederick was saying but I cut in

“I am supposed to receive this news with smiles, I should have been jumping around and giving out gifts to people, but no, here I am crying. I have no joy in me anymore because it was stolen, they took it away from me…. I can't even sit alone for a minute without getting reminded about what happened. I've tried to push it away and forget about it, but to no avail. Right now my life has no meaning, I am frustrated, so f*****g frustrated” I was literally on the loudest voice tone I had, the pain in my voice was so raw, that I could hear it too and it pained me more. All because I fell in love with a man

I curse the day I found out Jake was my mate, so long as I am alive, I will continue to curse that day. The happiest day of my life, now turned into the day I dread most

The nurse who showed me to the doctor's office hugged me tightly, keeping me shut for a while. She didn't know what else to do other than pity and try to comfort me

“It's all going to be fine, just give it time, soon, you'll forget about it all and move on with your life, right now, what I want from you is to focus on this bundle of joy yet to be born, focus on yourself and your baby. It's going to be alright okay” her hands placed on my shoulder, looking straight at me with teary eyes and I hugged her back

She was so good hearted and humane, tearing up for a person whom you've never met nor have any relation to, something my blood sister could never do

“It's not as though I ever had joy in my union with that jackass, even if he didn't tell me that he no longer loved me because I couldn't produce an heir, his mother never failed to, she never let me be, always troubling me here and there, but I wasn't the f*****g problem, imagine sucking it all up cause you feel you deserve whatever treatment was given to you…” I was sobbing uncontrollably, trying to explain my ordeal. I needed and had always wanted to, but never had anyone who was ready to listen

I had sucked up all the pain, and it was beginning to eat me up

“Um..hello! You're not the first woman to be dumped by her husband and then betrayed by her sister, you're not the only woman who has no one on her side, you're not the only woman who has Ill luck and always ends up in the wrong hands, stop making it look like it's such a big deal, if you feel you can't handle it, then just f*****g die, you could end your life you know? It's a free world”

“Maggie, that's not how you talk to someone in distress” The doctor cautioned and she rolled her eyes. Yeah, the mean nurse, Maggie was her name

“Distress? She's not the first to be distressed. This woman has only been going back and forth, no progress. Aren't you all tired of hearing her cry and lament on what was done to her in the past, bla bla bla, cause I am. Since she came into the pack, it's all exiled Luna this, exiled Luna that. Man up woman and get over him, or should I say them, live your life, they're not the ones to determine if you'll be happy or sad, no one can decide that other than you” she said harshly, but it made sense. She wasn't that bad after all

“It's been just a week and a few days Maggie, the wounds are still fresh, and everything is happening in a rush, so let her be, she just needs time” the humane nurse defended

“Shut up Amanda, what do you know about having to move on” I took a deep sigh and requested for the ultrasound, I needed to be very and thoroughly sure, before thinking of what next to do

Doctor Frederick lead me to the examination table, then rubbed some jelly like sticky stuff on my abdominal region, next he placed the transducer and an image appeared on the screen of the monitor, there was no figure, which confirmed what he said

I was so engrossed in the monitor that I didn't notice him handing a headphone like object to me

“Are you planning on seeing or hearing the sound?“ His voice jolted me back to reality, and I turned to him, collected the object placed it in my ears, obviously

And I heard it, the heartbeat of my baby, I couldn't help but shed tears, I had mixed feelings and honestly didn't know why I was shedding tears

*****

Immediately I stepped out of the hospital, I called Val's mobile but she didn't acknowledge it, I called and called, left many texts, but still got no response

This was one of the reasons I never really had friends, they're never there when you need them, but as miserable as my life was, I still found my way to her home, she was the only one I had to talk to

On getting to her house, I found her door widely open, which was very unusual, as the Valeria I knew never left her door open. We sometimes got into arguments whenever I mistakenly left her doors or even my doors open.

“Val! Valeria!“ I called out, but got no response

I entered into the living room and found clothes scattered in different directions, the clothes of which were hers and that of a male

Sigh! She was doing it again.

I sat on the couch patiently waiting for her, while vibing to the loud music coming from her bedroom. It was the least I could do, In other to stop myself from thinking too much

Nurse Maggie was right, I couldn't let them decide if I'd be happy or not

Three hours later, Val wasn't out yet, Four, five, six, seven, and eight hours passed, still no sign of her or anyone

I was running out of patience. Why on earth will someone have s*x for more than eight hours? She never ceases to amaze me, sigh!

I stood up, and went straight to her bedroom, stomping my feet really hard on the floor, so they could hear me approaching

“Val! Val! It's me Serena, I'm sorry to disturb you but please we need to talk, I've been here for a very very long time, and it's getting late, you know I have to work round the clock tomorrow” I said while still knocking hard on the door

“Val! Val” still no response

“Goodness gracious! This woman” I muttered as I face palmed

“Alright, that's it, I'm coming in, you two better get some sheets over yourself” I said and pushed the door open

“Ahh” I screamed at the sight

“Val! Valeria” there, she laid naked on the floor, in a pull of her own blood

My whole body trembled as I reached for her neck, to check for a pulse, there was none, Valeria was dead, the only person whom I made friends with was dead and I'm sure it was because of my Ill luck

Who did this and why? Why? It obviously was a guy, and they both got intimate, but why did he have to murder her, did she find something dirty about him?

They must have had a combat, because broken pieces of glasses could be seen everywhere. I pulled the bed spread and used it in covering her body, then stood up to get something from the wardrobe for her to wear, it was the least I could do for her, no one would want people seeing their nakedness, even when they're dead

But I got brutally pierced on my foot and ankle by a careless piece of broken glass

“f**k!“ I exclaimed as my blood flowed out like a river, immediately, I carelessly tore a piece of my top, in other to tie it up

I still managed to get a cloth for her, all my actions were in uncontrollable tears. I had only known her for a week and a few days, but it felt like we had known each other since forever. She was like the sister I never had, always defended me whenever some people tried to make me feel out of place. She didn't deserve to die like this, and so early

Whilst trying to get her up on the bed, I fell to the ground, and I remember mentioning that there were many piece of glasses on the floor, Yeah, they bruised my body and I became bloody as well

That didn't stop me though, I continued trying to get her on the bed when I heard a loud scream behind me

I turned backwards very sharply, to find Sarah, Val's little sister standing at the door with tears in her eyes

“You killed her, You monster, you killed my sister, you're a murderer!“ She said pointing accusing fingers at me, while I just shook my head negatively

“No please, I didn't, I didn't, you know I would never” I said but the little girl just ran away

“This is bad” I muttered, while running my hands through my hair
