Mate by Fate, Bound by Love

***********************************************

The mating ceremony’s bustlings were finally over with everyone going back to his normal life.

Lauren had been all over the place with her newly acquired position as the soon-to-be Luna of the pack. She even flaunted it at me but I just looked at her expressionlessly with only me knowing what I was actually thinking.

My mind had been so occupied with the stranger of that night. I finally remembered everything that happened that night and had been replaying it in mind and it seemed like memories of that night would never leave me.

“Lena!!!…. Lena!!!” My uncle’s wife called all over the house but I was still lost in my fantasies that I didn’t even hear her or even my name.

I felt something hit me on my head. I wanted to start refuting but I looked up to see a woman holding a long rod. I cried out in painMaterial © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Aunty good morning… afternoon…. Sorry good morning ma”. I didn’t even know when I started stuttering

“So you have been here and I’ve been calling your name since without receiving any response whatsoever ”

“I’m sorry ma I didn’t hear you”

“You bastard!! How dare you pretend right before me in confidence”. I just bowed my head trembling.

“Am I not talking to a human you bastard, you dare to snub me in my own house”. It wasn’t even her house in the first place but I just kept mute instead.

“Slappp!!” my face stinged once again from her heavy slaps.

“You good for nothing bastard what is your main purpose in this house other than to frustrate me!!” She held her head dramatically making it look like I was the problem and then she eyed me suspiciously

” I’ve been observing you this days and it seems like you’re off” I just mopped at her oblivious to what she was saying

She came closer to me and I drifted away in fear.

“Come back here let me check something” she said irritated at my behavior. And then I came closer and she checked my eye so closely as if she wanted to enter my eyes.

“Lena who impregnated you”

What did she mean by that. How!!!

“Am I actually pregnant!!!”. I knew I was finally done for

“You useless and shameless child, you want to bring shame to my household!” My uncle shouted as he gave me a dirty slap which sent me sprawling on the floor. I started seeing stars on the ceiling. The slap was too hot to handle!!!

“Who is responsible?… Who is responsible for your pregnancy?!” His wife asked with so much contempt.

“I don’t know, it was a mistake, I do not know him.” I explained in tears. How could I possibly tell them that I slept with a man from a bar I didn’t even know it’s name. It would obviously sound ridiculous to them. I would definitely look more like a joke to them.

One month after the mating ceremony and my one night stand with the stranger, I found out that I was pregnant! I did not know what to do or who to tell since I was not close to anyone in the Pack.

I felt that I could hide it which I did for some time until my baby bump begin to show. My Uncle’s wife immediately alerted my uncle who decided to force the answer out of me.

But why did they care so much about it even though Ethan had already declared me not worthy of being his wife but of course I couldn’t speak out else this vicious family would definitely cut my tongue off. I only had the choice of cursing under my breath in tears.

“You slut! What will Ethan say when he hears you are pregnant! How could you even be so stupid to get your useless self pregnant before my wedding. p Maybe he will decide to cut off his engagement with me!” Lauren spat out disgustingly. As usual she only cared about herself and her engagement.

“It will not happen!” My uncle said and then turned to his wife. “Take her to the doctor tonight, and make sure that the abomination is taken out!” He ordered and walked away.

An abortion !!! My mind screamed Nooo. Tears trickled down my cheeks as I looked up to my uncle for mercy.

My Uncle’s wife looked at me with disdain and hatred. “Get ready, tonight we are going to see the doctor and I will make sure that nonsense is taken out of you in the most painful way imaginable.” She said and walked away dragging Lauren along with her.

I was scared, I did not want my child to be killed. Though I still don’t know the father, I had already formed a bond with the baby and I could not bear the thought of my baby being killed and so I decided to run away.

That night, as my Uncle’s wife and I was going to the doctor’s office, I distracted my Uncle’s wife and I ran away. I knew that they would send people to look for me so I ran without stopping. I didn’t mind at all.

After running for a long time, I decided to rest a little bit to enable me to catch my breath. I tried to recount all that had happened but I had not even rested for up to five minutes when I saw a group of people coming towards me holding a fire touch. I was surprised that my Uncle’s guards had caught up with me so quickly but then one of them spoke and I knew it was not my Uncle’s guards. Even their dressing

confirmed it.

“Who are you?” The voice asked.

My heart started beating so fast. I knew instantly that there were rouges. I did not wait to find out what they wanted from me, I started running away and when I tried to look back, I saw that they had started chasing me too. I’m doomed

I never thought that my life would end up this badly. First it was my parents dying, then me becoming a slave to my own uncle and worst, my mate rejecting me in front of the entire pack. Now I am pregnant with the child of a stranger and currently being chased by rogues. How worse can my situation ever be.
