Eternal Love: Kim's Return

Kim The doctor looked at me with a concerned expression. I realized something was wrong with my pregnancy. I swallowed hard. "What is it, doctor?" I asked him. I would have loved to have my husband Theo with me. He was the leader of the Blood pack and couldn't attend the medical appointment. Rival packs have been approaching the town for months, causing conflicts. I told Theo not to worry about coming, but his presence would help me. "Kim, I can't hear the baby's heartbeat." My eyes widened. "What?" Anguish tightened my chest. "You heard right, Kim," he grimaced. "I don't understand, doctor. What do you mean?" "We'll run some tests to confirm my theory. But I think it would be best if you prepared yourself, miss. I'm sorry for the bad news." "Bad news? But what's happening? Are you telling me my child is dead?" My eyes filled with tears. I couldn't see the doctor's face, but I knew he looked at me with pity. I thought of Theo and what I would tell him. A new rule was established a few years ago In the supernatural world: to have a firstborn before the age of twenty-five. Theo was twenty-four, and I was twenty-three. Our desire to have a child was fervent. We didn't decide to get pregnant because of the rules. We did it for our love. However, we couldn't lose our child. The High Command is in charge of supervising the Virginia Alphas. Theo could be penalized by the high command, removed from his position, and sentenced to death. "I'm sorry, Kim. It would be best if you called your husband to be here for the medical procedure. If we confirm the baby's death, we'll need to intervene surgically." I covered my face with my hands and cried. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I held my belly and thought about my dreams with Theo. Theo and I had so many plans. His life is at risk. He was so excited about our child. I was going to break his heart. The doctor confirmed the news. I collapsed to the floor and called Theo to tell him everything. "I've crossed paths with the head of the packs," he mentioned. "He said he's looking forward to meeting our child. I feel the pressure of that man on my shoulders," he added. I closed my eyes tightly and made an effort not to cry. I couldn't tell Theo the truth. Not so soon. I lied and told him I would stay with my sister for several nights. The doctors performed the surgery and discharged me two days later. I needed to rest and regain my strength. I was human. But Theo questioned why I hadn't returned home for so many days. I returned almost a week after the operation. Theo looked upset with me. "I know I disappeared, but I must tell you something," I said. Theo remained silent and walked to the bar in the living room to pour himself a drink. It was early to drink. He turned his back on me. "Theo," I called his name. I touched my belly. My belly was no longer as large as before. I knew Theo had noticed it when he saw me. Why was Theo silent? Theo drank the entire glass and threw it against the wall. I got scared and covered my mouth. "What were you doing?" "I know the damn truth, Kim," his tone scared me. "What? What are you talking about?" I stammered. "I can't believe it! We lost our child, and you didn't tell me! I'll never forgive you." I had never seen him so angry. He approached me and pointed his finger at me. "I married a woman who hides things. And I can't stand it." I had no idea how he found out, but he knew everything. I could see it in his eyes. "I'm sorry. Forgive me, Theo! I didn't mean to hide anything from you, but you were so happy about our child. I didn't know how to tell you. The high command is after you because of your age." "Do you think you've solved anything with this? You've created more problems!" He handed me a folder with papers. I took the folder and opened it. I nearly had a heart attack when I read it. "Divorce? You want to divorce me?" My heart was about to burst out of my chest. "No! You don't have to do this! I made a mistake. I should have told you. But I didn't mean to hurt you." My marriage to Theo was the most important thing I had. I loved him with all my heart. I couldn't bear the idea of separating from him. But Theo seemed to have made up his mind. "I don't care what you have to say. The high command found out about this. The command kept a secret record of your pregnancy at the hospital. I'm going to marry another woman and start a family." I clutched my chest. "Are you serious? You can't do that. I'm your Luna." "That no longer matters. And you no longer matter to me. I look at you and don't recognize you. You've killed the love I felt for you. Marrying you was a mistake. I should have married Anastasia." A long time ago, I hadn't heard that name. In the past, Theo had to choose between two humans. Anastasia and me, but he chose me. Theo swore eternal love to me, and I became his Luna. "I’m going to marry her," he announced. The day was going from bad to worse. I felt like I was in a nightmare. "You’re not serious," I denied. But I saw the divorce papers between my fingers. Theo had already signed the papers. My signature was the only one missing. "I'm serious," he approached me. "I don't love you anymore. Anastasia will be the mother of my future baby." I heard the pieces of my heart fall to the ground.
