A Disgrace and A Blessing
Still Clarita’s POINT OF VIEW
With Serene by my side, I enter the hospital.
I look around a little uncomfortably, particularly sensitive to the presence of werewolves. I don’t have the instinct to distinguish them from others, but somehow I’m sensitive to their presence.
This must have something to do with my baby, who clearly has the most werewolf genes. Two months into the pregnancy and it’s already kicking, which is unusual for its age. But I’m glad it’s alive and well, and sometimes I can lie still on the bed and wait for it to be ready for training again.
My friend goes to the desk and signs us in.
The nurse smiles when she hears my name. “You have an appointment with Dr. Erena? She is waiting for you, you are her last patient”. Serene nods in acknowledgement and the other woman gets up from her chair and walks ahead of us.
After a few corridors, we stopped at a wide door. The woman knocks and when permission is granted, opens the door. “Doctor Erena is expecting you,” she smiled.
We went in and found a black-haired woman with glasses on her nose. She tried to sniff unnoticed, probably trying to sense my rank. Serena called her in because she was a werewolf and assumed she would be able to spot a she-wolf.
“But she’s human. Didn’t you tell me to treat a female werewolf, Serene?” she asks in amazement. We can barely contain our laughter. Serene shakes her head as we sit down in the guest chairs.
“This is Luna Clarita. She is Alpha Zane’s mate. They are having problems at the moment. But she is pregnant with his offspring. This is her first real consultation since she found out she was pregnant,” Serene explains.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
The doctor smiles broadly. “Well, this is the second Luna I have here. Our packs are growing well with so many pups being born”. She beams with pride as she looks at me inquiringly.
“Did you say Zane, the Alpha of Midnight Moon? Are you the one everyone is talking about on social media?”
I looked at her in surprise. It has been months since I last updated my social media account. She reads the disbelief on my face and sighs.
“Alpha Zane is in a love triangle with Luna Ariel and Alpha Gorgio. It is rumored that he is secretly involved with a human, some wolves have seen him with her on his private yacht.”
I almost fell off my chair in shock. I can just see Serene shooting her a warning look. But the doctor looks back fearlessly, disapprovingly, her gaze shifting back to me.
“I didn’t know he was a werewolf and an Alpha when I first met him. He had introduced himself to me as a single man and even promised that we would stay together. It was only later when I got my baby’s test results, that I knew the father was a werewolf,” I confessed sadly. “And then I made the connection with Ariel’s love problems and found out that I was dealing with the same Alpha as my girlfriend. But it was too late, I was already pregnant.”
Tears welled up in my eyes. Zane has completely disgraced me, my integrity is on the line.
Had I known who he was when we first met, I would have decided differently. I don’t regret having the baby, though, but I do wish it had a more suitable father. Our lives would be less complicated.
Now I hear that more people know about this affair. I hope it won’t affect my application for a job. If it does, I will be forced to move to another state. The worst part is that people are jumping to conclusions without hearing my side of the story. Now I am known as the homewrecker and the one who seduced my friend’s man.
Acid rises from my stomach to my mouth and I start to feel nauseous.
Just when I thought my life was getting better after Matt’s divorce, I seem to have fallen into another catastrophe. And this time more people are involved and many more know about my mistake.
And then I feel Serene’s arms around me.
“Don’t worry, Clarita. Soon everyone will know exactly what happened. You are not to blame. It is really a confluence of circumstances. You should relax, what people can change in the blink of an eye”.
And then she turned back to the doctor.
“Ariel and Zane have officially rejected each other. She was on the run again, heading for Gorgio. Zane had no chance with her anyway. And after the rejection, Clarita turned out to be Zane’s second chance. I was there when it all happened.”
“After hearing your version of the story, I also believe that you are not to blame, Luna. In fact, I think the Moon Goddess arranged it all with a plan. There was no other way to bring you and Zane together but through Ariel”. The doctor looks at me sympathetically this time.
“Come, let’s take care of the pup. It needs to be born healthy and well. That is our top priority right now”. She comes around her desk to me. With a smile, she helps me to my feet and leads me into the examination room.
She hands me a blue gown and, having changed, I lie down on a bed.
She switched on the monitor of her equipment, put some gel on my stomach and began to run a small device over my abdomen.
Soon the images appeared on the screen.
The woman stares at the screen, wrinkles her forehead a few times and takes a pencil.
“What is it, Erena? Is something wrong?” Serene looks worriedly at the screen.
“No, nothing’s wrong. Are you seeing what I’m seeing?” Her voice becomes more cheerful.
She taps the screen carefully with the pen.
“Twins? There are two babies?” I let out a squeal of delight. This is more than I could have imagined.
“Serene, I’m having two babies. Doesn’t it look like a boy and a girl?”…
