Cheat

It’s like a bucket of icy water had been upended on me. For a moment I think that I’ve heard him wrong. There’s a smile frozen on my lips, my fingers laying on his forearms, the last rays of the sun shining over the trees, giving way to the night. It had only been a moment. He could not have said what I think he did. “David?” I say, my voice shivering from disbelief, “It’s true. You know I won’t lie to you about something like this. It’s true, you can ask Dr. Lensher about it. He was the one who administered the test.” David steps away from me, his hands falling away. He’s shaking his head. He looks like he’s seen a ghost. His features are stony, and I think, why does he look like that? “Are you sure?” he asks, “I mean, it could be a mistake. Did you recheck?” “Two times,” I reply, “David, I know we didn’t talk about it, and we both are still too young to have children…” “You’re lying, aren’t you?” suddenly, he asks, and then huffs a laugh, “Is it April first today? Is this your idea of a prank? Because I have to tell you, it’s not funny. It’s really not, in fact, you should stop this nonsense right now.” The last word is said in a growl, and I can’t help my eyes widen. “Why would I do that? David, you know I’d never lie about something this serious,” I say softly, soothingly, knowing that he is starting to panic. I can’t blame him for it. This is something big to just dump on a person. But as it is, I can’t help but feel a little bit disappointed, because I expected him to at least act serious about it. This is our baby we’re talking about. The result of our love. “You can’t be pregnant!” David, honest to the Goddess, shrieks, “you…you were on birth control! We used a condom all the time!” “Please stop panicking,” I tell him, sadness and fear bubbling within me, “I don’t know what happened, honest. Maybe a condom broke, or maybe the birth control failed. I’ve read that happening. The chance is small, but not impossible.” “No, no, no, no!” he chants, each ‘no’ more aggressive than the other. He turns away from me and stomps, his fingers shoved into his hair, pulling the short strands. I want to hug him and soothe him like a good Omega would and make him calm with my love. But I’m afraid that he might lash out at me in his anger if I try to go near him. I’d seen him do that before, to people who’d pissed him off. At those times, his actions felt justified. No one should anger the son of the Alpha, he should be respected, not scorned. I admit, my thoughts had been biased. “I’m sorry, David,” I remark in a voice that sounds small to my ears, “I didn’t know this is going to happen. I’m sorry.” Suddenly, he whips towards me, hand outstretched and clenched with all except for his pointer finger, which he thrust in my face. “You’ve been cheating on me, haven’t you?” he demands, and I feel like I've been drenched in a lake full of ice now. I cannot believe those words just came out of his mouth. “You...you w***e! You took everything I gave you, and you shacked up with someone else, and now you’re trying to convince me that the child is mine because whoever the real father is don’t want responsibility!” “What? Are you insane? I would never do that to you,” tears fall from my eyes, hot as blood, uncontrollable. It’s like a dam had been broken over my eyes and my heart hurts. Why is he telling me these hurtful things?! I love him, and only him. He’s the only one who I’d loved that way, the only one who I gave myself, body and soul. He’s the only person who I trusted myself with. He’s the only person I made love with. And I tell him so, at least, I try to. Because to me, he's important, even when he's telling me all of this, and I want him to do is believe me because I’m not lying. “You’re lying,” he denies my claim again and again. “You’re the only one I’ve ever slept with, David! You know I spend almost all my time with you. Whenever I’m not working or at home with my parents, I’m with you, and I would never ever cheat on you. I love you too much to do that. You’re the only one for me, there's no one else. You can even do a DNA test if you’re so unsure of me. I’m innocent of everything you’re accusing me of.” I protest, openly crying. “Then you let yourself get pregnant,” he starts on a new line of accusations, “you know that I would never marry you because you’re an Omega. You can never be the mother of my child, or my Luna. So, you tampered with your birth control and the condom, and you’re trying to trap me with a child! That’s what you’re trying to do. You’re vying to be the Luna of the pack by using a kid against me.” “Why,” I don’t have enough strength for this, all I want to do is sink to the ground because this was not supposed to be like this, he was supposed to be happy…“Why can’t you see that I love you, and this was an accident?” My whole world is falling apart around me. I feel alone on the edge of this forest, with the man I thought loved me hurling damning accusations at me as if he had not promised me the world just hours before. He sneers, “Because someone like you can never ever be the mother of my child, Omega. I am an Alpha. This was only meant to be a little bit of fun until I find my soulmate or another Alpha to marry. You were not meant to be permanent. I will never be the father of a child you’d birth.”
