Roman walks up to me staring with his big blue eyes at my stomach. “It’s a girl mommy. I know it is,” he looks up smiling. I grab his face in my hands, “If it is a girl, you must protect her from evil.” I give him a stern look.
He looks from my stomach to me and back to my stomach, “Of course! Nothing bad will ever happen to her on my watch!” I wink at him and he covers up my feet with the quilt I made. I start rocking and humming that same tune Anna once sung all the time. Roman loves it, he starts humming along to the melody.
It’s been a few months since Malakai found out I am carrying his pup again. He only comes to see me if he hears something that I supposedly did. Some made up rumor to get me in some sort of trouble, most likely Johnathon coming up with stories so he could f*ck me again.
My belly is round, I say I’m about 3 months in my pregnancy which means, I only have maybe a month left before I meet this little one. I have been denied any kind of doctor visits, Anna, as far as he is concerned can take care of me if something happens. The only time I can see a doctor is when I’m nearing the end of pregnancy. Only because he wants to know if it is a girl or boy and if they are healthy. He threatens me all the time, if his pup isn’t healthy, it will end badly for me. There is only so much I can do, considering he barely gives me enough food to survive on. Anna got tortured in that room to the highest bidder for trying to sneak me food after he beat me. She did get the food to me but was caught by Johnathon. I was able to keep it, but at her expense. I cried that whole night after Roman went to bed.
I’m rocking and rubbing my belly, as I feel the pup inside me stir. The door opens and his thick scent of sewer hits my nose, Malakai.
“Do you just sit around all day while my boy is picking up after you?” he sneers at me as he comes and yanks me from my chair. I stumble and almost fall when Roman rushes to me, “Don’t hit her! She is carry my baby sister! Keep your hands off my mommy!” Malakai scoffs, “Are you raising him to be a weakling? To care for something as meaningless as women? Pfft.” He pull Roman from my arms and holds him in the air, “Never speak out against me again, boy. Our it will be your last. Let’s hope you are wrong and that is not a girl inside your mother’s fat stomach.” She puts him down and yanks my hand towards the door, I know not to fight him on this so I follow.
Anna walks passed us and I nod my head towards the bedroom and she nods, she knows to keep Roman safe while I am gone. She brushes my arm and that little notion, gave me the courage I needed to get through today. Malakai will have the doctor check every part of me, no matter how painful it is for me. The doctor tried to protest when I was with Roman, and Malakai almost had him beaten. He reluctantly did it, he would not survive a beating with his age.
He will make me out to be this disgraceful wh*re, who f*cks everyone that walks. Even though that is far from the truth. Johnathon is there and he holds the door for us, but only so he can et behind me. He stands so close to me I can feel his breath.
“Miss me?” he whispers in my ear and I move away. I am not in the mood for this right now.
“I missed you, don’t worry. We will have our alone time later.” He says as he cups my as*. I jump up not expecting the be touched and bump into Malakai. He turns around anger in his eyes as he looks down at me.
“Sorry.” I say as I fumble my hands, surprisingly he does not lash out at me. What did Johnathon mean by later? He is still touching my backside, I try hard to ignore it
“Ah yes, miss Emily, please come in.” the doctor says as he holds
the door open for me, I take this time to rush passed the both of them and into the room.
“You have to stay out here, sir. I will get you when the time is ready.”
“No, I will come in now!” He booms in his alpha aura, making us all submit instantly. The doctor nods his head.
“Alright, change into this robe and let’s get the exam over with so we can see that beautiful pup.” He winks at me, and I smile. Malakai clears his throat and glares at the doctor. Cleary he is not happy that he is treating me so nicely.
I look around the room to the three men that are standing there watching my every move, “Let us give her some privacy so she can change.” The doctor suggests. “Why, it’s not like its anything we haven’t tasted and seen before.” Johnathon says seductively. Him and Malakai laugh, I close my eyes and turn towards them, I stare Malakai right in the face as I drop my robe, I see Johnathon lick his lips while Malakai’s stunned face has not changed.
“Their right, it’s not anything they haven’t seen before.” I turn around curtly and put the robe on. The doctors’ sad eyes fall upon my beaten, bruised, and skinny body. Cuts cover my back and my thighs, the scars from Malakai’s first encounter with me are deep upon my entrance, he ripped me so bad that it took days for it to stop bleeding. He never cared though, still coming in and taking me every night in front of the pack until I conceived his heir. My heat came on strong and that was hell for me, constantly needing the fire to be put out but it burned to be touched by him. Anna tried to plead with him to let me heal but he refused, I eventually did heal, it just didn’t heal correctly. Every time someone touches that area pain shoots through me from the thin skin that formed around my taint.
I lay down on the bed and spread my legs, Johnathon moves in for a view as Malakai watches the doctor perform the unnecessary exam. I think it’s just because he loves putting me in pain, no matter what the cause. He hates us she-wolf’s and will do anything to prove it. When the doctor touches that area I tense and Johnathon laughs, “Oh, it’s nothing she hasn’t felt before, no need to be gentle with this one, right Emily?” He looks at Malakai and they both smile.
“Move quickly, doc. I do not have time to sit here all day. I have things to do. Tell me if my boy is healthy or not.” He looks me in the eyes and I roll them. The doctor shoves things in me, in both holes and I wince. The pain hurts so bad but I have taught myself not to cry out anymore. It does nothing when I do but make them want to hurt me more. The exam is over, he cleansed both areas and my mouth of any bacteria that might have been there. I feel raw and hurt so bad, but I grit my teeth and sit up in the bed a bit.
“All done, lets have a look at the ultrasound, shall we?”
“Ah, yes. Everything looks perfect. Congratulations! You are having a baby girl!” He says as he rubs my hand. A straight-out, out-roar takes place.
“You planned this didn’t you! You stupid b*tch I need another son! Not a pathetic she-wolf! She will amount to nothing, just like her f*cking mother! You will pay for this!” He screams at me as he slams the door behind him. I grab my stomach instinctively, thinking he was coming to harm us.
“He will come around, Emily. He would not do anything to his own flesh and blood. I am so sorry.” He rubs my shoulder as stands up to get a towel to clean off my stomach. A tear escapes and I start rubbing my stomach.
“You will give birth within the next few weeks, try to take it easy. As much as you can.” He gives a small smile and walks out the door. I’m not allowed to leave this room until he or someone else comes back for me. It’s been hours of me staring at the wall.
The door opens and only Johnathon walks in, he doesn’t say a word he just waits for me to get up and exit the room. As we leave the doctor’s office, I turn to go towards my room. Johnathon stops me and points me into the other direction. “Why are we going this way?” I ask but he doesn’t respond. My thoughts start racing as I think of why I am not going back to my room. I didn’t do anything; I did as he said. We continue onward down this long hallway. The wood floor creeks as we walk, he makes me pick up my pace. My heart is pounding from the exercise I am not used too. “In there.” He says as he points to this huge black door. I stop for a moment and gather my strength to open the door. He pushes me in and shuts the door and locks it. The room is dark so when the lights come on it takes me a moment to adjust. I place my hand over my eyes as I try to focus my eyes, that’s when I seen them. Malakai, and 4 pack warriors talking. My heart quickens, sweat is forming on my forehead. There is a wooden table with cuffs on it. My eyes go wide, no he wouldn’t. I think to myself. He turns to me with disgust and anger.
“So glad you could make it. Bring her to the table!” He commands Johnathon.
“I told you, I would have you later.” Johnathon says behind my ear.
“No! You can’t! I’m pregnant!” I scream as I thrash around trying to fight him off.
“You are no match for us, quiet down!” He shouts at me.
“Malakai please!” He turns away and the warriors hand him a stack of cash.
Johnathon pulls me to the table and the other warriors came and help him strap me in. I am crying, the first time in years I have cried in front of them.
“These men here have paid me for your services. They paid me pretty well for the likes of you. I do not care what happens to that disgrace inside your stomach, the sooner it’s out, the sooner we can move on, and you can give me another son.”
Johnathon plugs my nose until I gasp for air, and they force a gag into my mouth. I am screaming, crying for him not to do this.
“Leave her alive, I need her to bring me another rare son.” He storms out of the room. Then it starts and I try hard to shut it out but it is so painful, finally I lose consciousness, I send a prayer to the moon goddess to protect my baby girl, and I black out.
