Pregnant For the Alpha

CHAPTER 4

Iris Pov

"Can I come in?" He asked, bringing back to reality.

"Yeah. Yeah, sure." I shifted for him to enter. "Good evening, Your majesty. I can get you a towel to clean up." I turned to get one but he refused.

"Don't bother, I'll be leaving soon."

"If you say so."

"Well, I just stopped by to check on you. I know I have put you in a difficult condition, but I can assure you all will be well."

"Though I am not prepared for this journey, I can endure the circumstances. You don't have to worry much about me, I'll be fine." I assured him.

His gaze fell on my belly, then he looked back at me. "I'll let you get some rest. Good night." He opened the door and left, shutting it close behind me.

I was pulled into the realm of thought. I don't know if it's just me feeling this way or my emotions are trying to play games on me. I discovered how much I enjoyed his presence, his voice and every word that left his lips. I wished he'd just stay and keep talking while I imagine things that will definitely not happen.

I went to lie on my bed, my face plastered with a smile. Am I crushing on my Alpha? Is it me feeling this way? I couldn't count how excited I am to have talked to the Alpha in such a manner one may think I was actually his mate.

"No high hopes yet, Iris. It's just a matter of time." I heard my subconscious say, I rolled my eyes.

"Whatever." I groaned.

I was drifting off to sleep, waking up by the loud sound of the alarm. How did this get in here? I hit the alarm, causing it to stop. I glared at my belly, it had grown so big like I was two months pregnant.

"What?!"

I was breathing heavily. What's happening to me? What's going on?

"Ahhhh!!" I screamed, not minding how loud I was sounding.

Ms. Felicia was the first to barge in. She looked at me. "Why the scream?" She questioned.

I didn't talk to her, my eyes were still on my stomach. Is this some kinda magic or what?

"Oh my goodness! How the f**k is that possible?" She screamed, covering her mouth with her both hands.

"How on earth am I supposed to know?!" I yelled.

Soon after, Alpha Kristen walked in. "What's going on here?" He asked, not looking troubled at my scream.

Ms. Felicia pointed at my stomach. "It has just grown overnight." She said even before I could think of a word.

Alpha Kristen raised an eyebrow. "How is that possible?" He asked no one in particular.

"What's happening to me?" I asked, terrified.

"Calm down, we'll figure this out together."

"What's there to figure out! My baby just grew overnight! This is crazy!" I screamed every word I said.

He walked to my side. "You have to calm down, Miss West, we'll figure this out. Okay?" he said in a calm way.

I looked at him, and I found assurance in his words. I calmed my nerves down, since he said he will figure it out, then I need to let him do his job.

I nodded my head. "Okay. Okay."

I knew he was trying his best not to let Ms. Felicia notice he was responsible for the child. "Remain calm, I'll be back." He faced Ms. Felicia. "Get her some thing to eat."

"Yes, sire."

He didn't say a word again, he only looked at my stomach. He stood up, leaving the room, looking thoughtful. Ms. Felicia showed up in a second with a tray of food in her hands. She didn't say any thing to me, but her eyes did the talking.

I try not to look at her, or I'll probably die trying. "You're weird." She said, "Getting pregnant from who-knows-who, now your bump has supernaturally grown overnight. I still don't understand what you are, Miss West, but I can't get to trust you a bit."

"It's okay not to trust me, Ms. Felicia, but I'm a human just like you are."

"Tell me one good reason why I should believe you."

"Like I said, you don't have to."

"I saw the way His majesty attended to you, it seems like he does know who is responsible. Or… is there some thing I'm missing out?"

"Yes, I told him. After all, he's the Alpha king, isn't he? He deserves to know every thing."

"You dare to talk to me like that?" She had raised her hand to slap my face when Alpha Kristen walked in. "Ms. Felicia."

She paused, standing to her feet. "Yes, Your majesty."

"Give us a moment." He said and she excused us.

"What did the doctor say?" I asked immediately Ms. Felicia left the room.

"He said it's a normal thing. Since you're carrying my child, it's bound to happen."

"But I'm not a wolf?"

"You don't have to be one. As long as you bear one who has the gene, you'll experience such a thing. Aside that, every thing is fine."

"Will I keep experiencing stuff like this?"

He hesitated. "Possibly."

******

How was I to know that the alpha's simplicity was only for a short while. After the night of the incident which had to do with my stomach growing overnight, I thought things would be the same but I was wrong.

Since Alpha Kristen had gone for a date with a lady who came some time a week ago, he's been acting differently around me like I don't even exist. I'm not jealous, don't get me wrong. I'm only after the fact why he had to change overnight all because of a woman.

He stopped checking on me or how I was feeling. He never cared if I had eaten or not. This gave Ms. Felicia every right to handle me however she wanted. Despite knowing the level of my pregnancy, she never cared. She'd seize my breakfast and lunch meal, and when I ate at night, I only had a few spoonfuls to eat.

I wasn't much bothered about myself, after all I wasn't the food type of person. I wanted my baby to survive, guess that's my only reason for living.

Just last night, he brought his new found love home. They had shared a lovely night together. I'm not actually against him finding a new love, don't get me wrong, I just feel like he shouldn't have forgotten the fact that I'm still here, carrying his own child.

And for so many reasons best known to him, he has automatically forgotten I ever existed.

I was tired of pretending like every thing was alright. I had to pick the courage to meet him. Luckily, the lady wasn't in his room with him.

"Miss West, I wasn't expecting to see you today." He said reluctantly.

"Me neither."

"So, how may I help you?"

"I want to let His majesty know that I can't continue with this any more." I said.

"And what's that supposed to mean?" He asked.

"I think it's best if I abort this child and we'll both go our separate ways." I threatened, hoping he would see the reasons for my words. But no, he felt less concerned.

His cold expression was unexplainable as he looked me deep in the eyes and said to me. "Well, you can go ahead with that. After all, getting you pregnant was a mistake."

My heart bled at his words. I was beginning to regret why I had come here in the first place. But nevertheless, I needed to tell him how I felt. Not for my sake, but for the sake of the child even though abortion wasn't my expectation.

But since he had said those words right to my face, I guess I have no other choice but to abort this child and leave this mansion for good.

I returned to my room with tears streaming down my face. I met the lady he had brought home. She looked at me with a worried face, "Hey, sweetheart, are you alright?" She asked but I ignored her.

I slammed the door hard, falling to the ground. I couldn't hold back the tears, it feels more like a rejection. He just rejected me, didn't he?

I made up my mind to sneak out of the house tonight. Lucky for me, night came just as I had expected. I left without any one noticing me. I went to the nearby clinic store which was a few meters away from here.

The pharmacist was about to close when I pleaded for him to give me the abortion pill. At first he refused, but I pleaded with him that my parents were gonna have me dead if they found out I was pregnant.

He was patient enough to listen to my lies which obviously looked like they were true. I made him believe I was raped two months ago while in campus. With that, he decided to give me the drugs.

I didn't waste a second to have the pills gulped. He had instructed me to take one, but I went ahead taking two. Don't blame me.

I waited for the pharmacist to leave while I stayed back to sleep before his store. The gurgling sound in my stomach was disturbing and I knew the drug was actually working. I held my stomach, the pain really hurts. I slept off, waking up the following morning to see my gown already stained with blood.

I felt my senses activated, realizing what I had done. My heart is pounding hard against my chest. I just killed my child? I f*****g killed my child? Soaked in tears, I made my way back to alpha Kristen's mansion.

I was profusely bleeding and there was no car on the road to help me. I stood confused, what am I gonna do? I couldn't contain the sight of the blood which kept rolling down my thighs, staining the ground. I gathered the least strength in me, heading back to the mansion. I could feel my head burning, my eyes grew heavy and I could barely walk.

Fortunately, I got to the mansion. And just when I was about to knock, the door opened. Staring at the figure standing before me, I whispered. "Help… Me."
