Run with me

Preparations

Noah POV-

Gale did tell the members that we have to make sure that Lena does reject our Alpha. To do that we will have to create a bad image. Or cause a situation whereby he will look bad... It is hard to play the evil part and ruin someones romance though. Thinking about it makes me feel extremely tired as I am not used to being the bully. 

*Ring!*

Picking up the phone. 

"yeah?"

"Hello, its Gale." why is he calling?

"Someone called me to let me know that Gabs daughter Liz..." Holly this already sounds complicated.

"... during her shift at the clinic overheard some clattering sounds and when checking up. Austin threw Conan in the air against a bed." Okeeee

"Lena was present and witnessed it all." What kind of police report is this. 

"oke, what else" 

"Apparently she raced over to Conan and was angry and flustered about Austin's reaction." he might actually do the work for us. Ruining his chances with her by himself. 

"So she might assume that he is aggressive. Thanks for calling Gale. We might help push him into the final blow tomorrow during the festival." 

"It looks like he will be joining her. " We sound like some high schoolers... Hope we can get quickly over this. 

I hang up the phone. She already has seen he is aggressive. He either said its a first, so she might let it slide. Showing her a more aggressive side might not work. There must be something else that we can use to further make him undesirable. He isn't cocky. So we can't play into that. Passing the full body mirror in the hallway. Taking a look at myself. What am I becoming? I am turning into a bully myself, the one thing that I despised so much. I stare at myself for minutes, when I realise the obvious. I am a male... his former lover. 

How many females have experienced that their ex boyfriends turn out to be gay and leave them for a guy. That might have given them doubt and insecurities. But what if their partners are male... That might not be too much of a shock though. Our community is getting more acceptance and there are enough bi people outside of this town. However cheaters are never accepted. Austin never formally ended it with me, also I am still living at our home... I can use this strategy on my own. 

However if it doesn't work, or to give a final blow I might need the boys to help me out. If he turns in front of her. Not only will he break his promise. She might get the shock of her life. Everyone she got to trust, apparently are these monsters who rip creatures apart. It will also bring him into a situation as he will have to calm her down and also the pack. I truly hope it won't come to this. However I should consider how to trigger him. He normally isn't the aggressive type. But his reactions around Lena have shown he has a hard time to control himself around her. 

I turn right with the sound of the glass back door sliding open. Gale and the guys walk in. 

"We hope we aren't disturbing you, but I called the guys together. I thought with the festival coming up tomorrow it would be good to discuss some things"

"You are right. I am just surprised Gale. Why are you so oke with this?"

"You might call it revenge. But he has always called me slow. I am not but I have been playing along for too long. Also its not far what he did to you. You are one of us guys now. Our family. So we got your back." His words give me tears in my eyes. I can still be an emotional girl sometimes even though I now have the form of a male. He just called me a part of their family. I do have a family. The thought made me so happy. Taking a deep breath sniffing my tears back up, I join the guys in the living room for our all night discussion on what to do and whats best. 

Lena POV-

"Feeling a bit better?" Conan drives us back home in my car. 

"Yes, honestly though I have been feeling a bit nauseous a couple of times. But the iv really helped I think." Conan narrows his eyebrows. 

"You are eating well. I am tasting the same food. How about your period?" In surprise I look up at him. It hasn't been a month that I have been here. So he might not have noticed that someone in his household is using tampons and pads. That would be weird though. If he was checking on that. 

"It's normal." I see him relax but looking stern in front of him. Doing his doctorly thinking. 

Even though I answered that its normal. It never has been normal so I keep track of it on my phone. Thankfully to this health application that sends me reminders. REMINDERS! I think I had one of those last week. ...

I pull my phone out of my pocket of my sweat pants. Unlocking it I press on the health application. It is indicating that my red days have just passed. That is oke though. It doesn't mean anything. I can be just late. 

"You are late." Conan states. 

"Hey! Privacy!" he gives me an sympathetic smile 

"You are right though." I look at my phone screen. What if? No lets not think about it. I will only stress myself out about something uncontrollable. Also it is not my first time.. I know the symptoms. I curl up on the passenger seat. 

"Don't worry it is probably just some small type of flew. If you want I can go get a test and we will know not to stress about this option for sure." Conan is so nice and caring. I am glad it is him driving me and wanting to be besides me while doing this. Not some cold doctor who wants to get through as much patients as they can in a limited time frame. 

"I would appreciate that." I know the symptoms my body showed last time. However I am not sure neither a doctor to know if every pregnancy is the same. I doubt it. Better to just do the test and know that its not that. 

With a swift turn Conan turns back to the clinic. 

"Don't worry, all the nurses left as well. It is too quiet tonight." With that we arrived back at the clinic. Conan went through some drawers in the storage room before he pulls out a pregnancy test. Before handing it to me he lifts it back up. "No matter the result. It might be too early to tell for sure" Handing the packaging to me. 

Instead of heading to the toilets I grab a cup of water. Tilt it back and head to the woman toilets. Reading the instructions it states that I only have to pee a little on it. Squeezing whatever pee I was holding inside of me out. I hold the stick back up again. Waiting for minutes to pass I lay it down on the sink. Washing up , pulling my pants back up. Unable to just stand and wait I walk out with the stick. Conan is gone but I can see the stream of light coming out of his office. Further pushing the door open I take a seat on one of his chairs at the desk. Putting the stick on his desk. Turning on his chair he gives me a smile. We are now both leaning a bit on the desk. With our faces above the stick. 

"When was your last intercourse though?" He whispers. 

"Uhm, like two weeks ago and before I left on my trip."

"It might be way too early then for this test to be accurate." Still he is also bended over this stick. 

The little opening is moving. As if water is moving up hitting a first line, which becomes clearer. Further moving up it reaches the end. A really small second line starts to appear. Unclear yet. 

*Staaaayyy, No No, Staaaayyyy there.* I keep telling myself. Trying to use some mind control to make it stop from becoming clearer. 

"It looks like you might be pregnant." With his words I feel myself sinking further in my chair. My limbs becoming heavy. 

"There is nothing we can do. It's best to wait and check again in a week or so. We might take a blood sample later to see if your body is changing and if you are really pregnant. But if it happened 2 weeks ago, its really too early still." 

Is there really something like too early? No matter what, I will deal with it. I have decided before and lost a possible child of mine. I am not going to chose that again. Always wondering what if's. This time no matter the outcome I will be happy and deal with it. Putting up a smile I look at Conan. 

"Lets go home."

Conan starts laughing. "You keep surprising me Lena" 

With that we walk side by side back to the entrance. Conan closes up the clinic. Turning all the lights off. Before we walk to the car. "Just know I will always be here for you Lena." His words are sweet. 

It is a silent drive back home. Just before Conan pulls up on the drive way I see this black shadow. As the front lights of the car hit the shadow i can clearly see its Gilroy. Stepping out of the car I wait for him to come up to me. Even though it is pitch dark, with the moonlight it looks like he is completely fine. I am glad that there was no bloody fight between him and the other wolves. Stroking his fur he almost releases a purr. "Welcome back" I whisper to him. 

We all walk back to the house. Conan stays down while Gilroy walks up first. "You are not gonna sleep?" I lean over.

"I will soon, just grabbing a midnight snack." 

"Good night Conan" I slowly walk up to find Gilroy already laying in front of the bed. I don't change my clothes, walking around the bed I get in. "Gilroy" I whisper. The big wolf looks up at me. Tapping the empty spot next to me on the bed, Gilroy tilts his head. "Come on up" 

With that Gilroy puts one paw after another on the bed. Laying straightly next to me. I roll up against him and his warm fur. His warmth relaxes me. Forgetting everything Conan and I talked about, all the discoveries I have made today. Immediately I doze off.
