Chapter 5 The discovery

The di

Pamela was gradually embracing motherhood. She constantly falls weak and sad each time she recalls she won't have access to the baby after childbirth. She accepted her fate and pledged to stay strong until the baby was born.

Begging for Xavier to still keep her would be quite an impossible task. Pamela knows she is no match for him. If it wasn't for the pregnancy, they would probably not know each other. Once she was put to bed, he would send her away from the pack with immediate effect.

The pregnancy was already making her experience some mood swings, which are mainly familiar to pregnant women.

"You haven't eaten anything. It's not good for you and my baby. You both need plenty of nourishment. I don't want any complications during childbirth. I could order them to get you food. At this stage of pregnancy, you need nutrients to nurture the baby," Xavier suggested and indicated like an expectant father. He only cares about the child's well-being and would do anything to delight Pamela before she ends up harming the baby. Engaging her in a conflict might result in pregnancy intricacies that he wouldn't want to happen.

"You need to stop being nice to me. You are making a fool of yourself. Can't you see your antics aren't working? I'm not falling for it. Nice try! We all know this pregnancy is the reason you're acting this nice. Stick to your beast mode. You're better than this character you're trying so hard to portray. I know the games you're playing. I'm not a fool," she stunned him.

"You're so difficult and unpredictable. Bullshit! Suit your fucking self." he frowned and looked away.

"The moon goddess knows I detest every minute I dwell in this place. I'll never agree to be your bride for a sliver nor gold," she bantered the Alpha and almost got slapped again, but he halted and left his hand hanging in her hair.

"Why did you stop? Go on and torture me. That's what you're known for. I'm not scared of you,"

"I'm out of here. I can't deal with your madness. I would rather not regret my action," the Alpha restrained his Anguish and stormed out of Pamela's room.

Strolling to his chambers, he encounters Ken addressing the soldiers. He looked away and feigned a smile, trying to look so friendly and calm. The pretense was so obvious and caught Ken's attention.

Hurriedly, he gestured to the Alpha, abandoning his meeting.

"You look unsettled. What's the matter? She is finally pregnant. You should be delighted. You've always yearned for that, don't you?"

"It's wrong to abandon your meeting in crucial matters. Now run back to them immediately," Xavier instructed Ken, who showed concern about his mood.

"The meeting can wait." Ken remained adamant.

"She has been pissing me off lately. She suddenly lost all respect for me. She manipulates me with the pregnancy. Of course, she knows I can't lay a finger on her, not when she's carrying my child." He narrated.

"Pamela, again? I see the pregnancy had given her the impetus to disrespect you. I think you should just avoid her until the baby is born." Ken suggested, which didn't go well with the Alpha.

"Impossible! Not until my son is born. You know that's not going to happen. I need to keep an eye on her. That leper shouldn't be trusted. My life rests on her shoulder." Xavier protested.

"You're so confident. You can't be so sure." Ken tackled him. Xavier never thought about that before.

"So what are you insinuating? That I should be expecting a girl child? I doubt the moon goddess would be so cruel as to allow that to happen to me. She was aware that the arrival of the boy would break the curse. Why send a child to me?" He asked in curiosity.

"There's only one way to find out. Let's invite the moon guardian over to confirm the baby inside Pamela," Ken proposed as the Alpha agreed.

"Go call the moon guardian immediately," Xavier instructed and shuffled to his throne to cool off. Unknown to them, Pamela had been eavesdropping on their conversation from her room. What a strange way to finally discover the truth.

She now understands why the Alpha was so nosy to see her get pregnant.

"It's hard to reckon that I was just an instrument to liberate the Alpha from sudden death." Pamela wept. Heartbroken by the situation, she laid a condemnation on her crooked stepmother and reprimanded her for the unfortunate incident.

"She brought this upon me. If she hadn't sold me out to the cruelest Alpha, I wouldn't be entangled in a situation like this," she bemoaned further and decided to elope to another pack. There was no way she was going to let the Alpha take her baby. She felt cheated, humiliated, and betrayed by everyone.

To avert her worst from happening, Pamela calmly loaded a few wares, and eloped from the blood moon pack, making sure no one saw her. She wasn't certain of her destination, but only wanted to be far away from the ruthless and selfish Alpha. 9 minutes after her escape, Ken strolled in with the moon guardian.

"Go fetch Pamela immediately. The moon guardian detests lateness. I need to get to the root of this matter. I can't keep living in the dark," ordered, the Alpha, displaying his sets of teeth in excitement. Moments later, Ken returned without her.

"The worst has happened, my Alpha. She is nowhere to be found anywhere. I suspect she might have eloped with her..." Xavier landed a punch on Ken's face before he could complete his explanation.

"Is this a joke? How could she possibly break out under the watchful eyes of my guards? Have you dug everywhere? Make sure you find her. Hurry, she must be brought here immediately alive. Get ready to be sacrificed to the moon goddess if she doesn't show up here with you,"

"This is the height of it all. Whenever you are ready to have a conversation with me, you know where to find me. I'll be waiting for you. Gosh! I've never been this insulted in my whole life," the moon guardian walked away in disappointment. Xavier tried to apologize, but she ignored him.

"My Alpha, there's a new development," Ken reported and bent his head.

"What stupid development are you talking about? Spill it already. I'm gradually losing my patience."Xavier fumed.

"I saw a few of her clothes dispersed outside. I think she just escaped not quite long ago. She wouldn't have gone far. Remember, she's heavily pregnant. I will take a few guards with me and comb everywhere.," Ken promised.

"You're still here thinking. What are you waiting for? Go find her. Take as many wolves as you want. Ensure she's brought back alive." Alpha Xavier roared
