The nightmares

Beth's screams fill my ear's. The pure fear in her scream is evident. I snap awake and look over to her shaking, crying body.

My poor baby, I don't know what happened at her parents house, but I have to get to the bottom of it. She won't talk [again]. She stares blankly into space, and cries at the simplest things. The past month I've been trying to get it out of her. Anything. She won't talk.

Her pregnancy is progressing and that is worrying me, as she is so upset, and scared. I worry for the baby. All though at the check up the baby is doing just fine.

"Beth. Sh. It's okay. Wake up. It's just a nightmare" I whisper soothingly into her ear, rubbing her back.

Beth's eyes snap open and her eyes are dark, full of fear and tears. She screams and shoot up in bed, crawling away from me and into the corner of the bed.

This nightmare must be worse than the others.

"Dad stop!!" She screams out at the top of her lungs.

I look at her crazed state. Hair a mess from pulling at it, eyes dark, like her wolfs, her body sweating and shaking. "Beth it's me. Kyle. Your mate. The father of your baby" I say slowly, and steadily, crawling toward her.

I put a hand on her shoulder, and she flinches slightly.

'Why did she scream for her dad to stop?' My wolf asks me.

'I don't know. But maybe he did something to her the night she went over' I say back

Then I hear her wolf, speak to me for the first time ever. Her wolf sounds so strong. 'Kyle. Hey. It's Charm, Beth's wolf. Sorry I've never spoken to you before, I've never mustered up the courage to. But Beth's dad, r***d her the night we went over. She caught back. But nothing helped. He threatened to kill our pup if she told anyone. And I know he means it. His wolf warned us'

A growl rippled through my body, and that only scared Beth. She whimpered and then I held her close to my body. My wolf was fuming inside. Wanting to kill her father. Make him pay for hurting our mate.

"I know your father did this" I growl out at Beth.

I look at Kyle flabbergasted. How did he find out? 'I told him' I hear Charm whisper.

'What?! Why?!' I shout 'Did you not hear his warning?! Our pup!'

'He won't do anything. Not after Kyle is done with him' Then she fades away before I can answer.

With shaky hands I gently push Kyle away from me. His eyes flash with hurt. "Look. I know about the warning. But he's getting locked up. That way, he can't hurt you" Kyle says putting a hand on my cheek. Sparks fly through my body and I get the urge to cry and thank him.

So I lean forward and I kiss him. His lips are so soft, gentle. Then he lays a hand on my stomach. On our baby. Which, speaking of the baby. We have a check up today.

"Come on darling" Kyle whispers "We have an hour till your ultrasound"

I muster up enough strength, and just throw on sweat pants, a tank top and hoodie, and throw my hair into a messy bun, because simply, I don't care anymore. Im ashamed that I couldn't fight back, that me saying no didn't stop him, that my own father, was so sick and twisted in the mind, to do that to me. His daughter.

Slipping on my tennis shoes, we walk to the pack doctor. My small bump, already showing, due to me being a werewolf.

The cold gel is put on my stomach as I lay down and goosebumps raise on my arms and legs. Emma (the pack doctor), starts my ultrasound and Kyle and I see our baby.

Tears brim my eyes. "Want to know the gender of the baby?" Emma asks sweetly.

I look at Kyle and nod. "Yes please" he says.

"It's a..." Emma pauses and my breath catches in my throat "Boy!"
