Changing The Broken Luna's Heart

EIGHT

I awoke to pain; it was familiar to me and I knew what was happening. Violet stirred when I let out another whimper.

When she saw the blood staining the sheets, she ran from the room screaming for the doctor. I curled in on myself and wondered if this was a blessing.

If I wasn’t carrying Evan’s child then there truly was no reason for him to hunt me down and drag us back.

It didn’t matter if he didn’t want me, I was still property to him and the child was still his heir. I shuddered and my teeth chattered.

The door to the room burst open bringing in more cool air, but the pain was still too much to bear.

“What is happening here?” The doctor came over and knelt beside the bed. She touched dry hands to my clammy forehead and was murmuring to herself.

“It is a miscarriage; it has to be. I have had it happen before.” The doctor shushed me and started ordering people in the room.

“Madison I am going to have one of my assistants carry you to the clinic. I don’t think it is a miscarriage.” I shook my head and screwed my eyes shut. The pain ripped through me again, it felt like someone was ripping my womb out of my body.

“I’m going to give you something for the pain so it will be easier to move you.” I felt her grab my arm, the sting of medicine in my veins, and then the sweet bliss of the meds taking over.

It wouldn’t last long, it never did, our metabolism just burned through the medication like a wildfire.

I watched the room grow dark as I was lifted and taken from the area.

When I came to, I was in the clinic and hooked up to machines. The smell of antiseptic stinging my nose and the relief that the pain was gone.

All I felt was a slight pressure in my abdominal area and felt a slight pang of sadness. It was nothing new and who knows, the child may have ended up a monster like their father.

It was for the best, it just hurt my heart that their little lives ended so early.

“Ah, you are awake.” The doctor smiled and adjusted the drip that was hooked to the IV in my arm.

“It was touch and go, the baby will be fine but you are going to have to rest and cut back on your stress.” My hands fluttered over my stomach.

Was I disappointed? Relieved? My thoughts were muddled and I was too tired to dwell on it for long. I guess I was supposed to keep the baby this time.

“You suffered a placental abruption; part of the placenta has separated from the uterine wall and that caused the bleeding.” She looked away and I could tell there was something she still wasn’t telling me.

“What is it that you aren’t telling me doc?” My eyes were growing heavy and I just wanted to go back to sleep and not deal with reality for a bit.

“There is a lot of trauma and scarring. Surprisingly, you have managed to conceive at all.” I turned my head away and blinked back the tears.

“Did your Alpha do this to you?” I swallowed not saying anything.

Every loss of life was his excuse to torture and maim me. Every time I disappointed him, or he wanted to try again. He would just take me and have his way with me.

It was never gentle and it was never pleasant. All I knew was pain and that would be all I ever knew.

“He always managed to validate why he did what he did. He said it was for my own good.” I couldn’t hide the bitterness in my voice and I flinched when she put a hand on my shoulder.

Now that monster’s child was growing in my belly.

“I wouldn’t worry about the baby too much.” I closed my eyes and curled in on myself.

That’s what she thought. I could only trust that I would be able to raise the child so that it wouldn’t follow in its father’s footsteps.

“Ok, you rest now. I will come back in a bit to discuss further care. You need to cherish this little one because it is a miracle it has survived this long.” I heard the door close and wiped at the tears on my face.

Easy for her to say that the kid was a miracle, it was probably my curse for leaving the father. It was his fault though, he was the one who broke the bond. Not me.
