Chapter 5 Knocked Up.

Anastasia.

After I leave his house, I break down in the car. I could get pregnant. As the sister of the Alpha of one of the largest and wealthiest packs, I would bring shame to my family.

My brother and father adore me. I never want that to change. There is no way I would marry Crosswalk, even if I carry his child.

The car pulls up in front of our elegant park house. I'm sure my brother has been looking for me. He must think that I disappeared from the party. I warn the driver not to tell anyone where he picked me up from and slip some notes into his palm.

I walk to the door. The door is yanked open before I even get the opportunity to knock.

Arthur just stands there looking relieved that I'm safe. He pulls me into his arms and hugs me tightly.

When he releases me, I walk inside quietly.

He closes the door and rushes to my side.

"Are you alright, Ana?" He asks.

Tears pool in my eyes. I don't trust my voice, so I just nod.

"I heard you went into heat at the party". He says.

I know where he is going and I can't lie to him. We tell each other everything. He is the only person that knows about my rejection of Crosswalk. Not even my father knows.

I rub my eyes from sleep and exhaustion.

"So you heard? Everyone must have heard about it by now". I say and sit down to pull off my heels. He sits down across me.

"Do you know what else I heard?" He asks.

I know exactly what he is going to say. I just shrug.

"Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about. People saw you leave with Alpha Levi". He adds.

I shrug again. I don't want to cry.

"Why did you leave with him?" He asks.

I wipe my eyes.

"He offered to take me home since other males were coming to claim me. The pain was too much. I asked him to do it". I blurt out, unable to meet his gaze.

"I thought as much. The scent of your heat is no longer as strong". He says.

I cover my face and sob.

"I'm so stupid, Arthur. I just sold myself to the person I hate the most in this world".

He leans forward and rubs my knee.

"Someone else would have had to do it. Both of us are not getting any younger. We are not getting any more mates so don't be so hard on yourself".

I sniffle.

"Levi has ruined me". I say, still sobbing.

"No, he has not. We just have to make sure that he does not tell anyone else about it". He says.

"That's not the problem. I was too deep in my pain to realize that he had not used protection. He only told me after. He said it slipped his mind". I admit.

Arthur's jaw drops.

"That's messed up. What are you going to do if you get pregnant?" He asks.

I cover my face again.

"I don't know. I really don't know. The chances are very high. He has ruined me. He must be very proud of himself".

Arthur's balled his hands into fists.

"That asshole is going to pay".

I say nothing.

"You should get some rest". He says and stands up.

I stand up as well. He walks me to my bedroom door. Before I enter, I turn to him.

"Please don't tell dad". I plead.

He just nods.

"Don't worry your pretty little head about that. I won't". He says with a small smile.

Just then, Parfin, the Beta comes out of his bedroom.

He smiles at me. I don't smile back. My situation is way too grim to allow me to smile.

I enter my room and Arthur closes the door after me. As soon as I climb the bed, I dose off.

Two Weeks Later.

I wake up feeling dull and sick. I woke up the same way yesterday. I feel different. My body feels different. My wolf is very energetic.

I rush out of bed and into the toilet. I open the toilet lid and empty my entire gut. What the hell?

It can't be. It just can't be.

I tear out a paper towel and wipe my mouth with it. I wash my face and go to my brother's room.

He opens the door before I even knock.

He sniffs me in.

"You smell different". He comments.

"I do? I feel different too". I say and push past him into the room.

He mind-links with me. His eyes widen when he knows what I'm thinking.

"It can't be. You won't be able to hide it from dad and the other pack members". He says.

"I need to be sure." I mumble.

He runs his hands through his brown hair. His handsome face is filled with concern and worry for me.

I am lucky to have him.

"I can secretly get a pack nurse to look at you". He suggests.

I think for a moment.

"Pack nurses gossip a lot". I say.

He shrugs.

"Well, I'm running out of ideas here". He says.

"I know someone who can help. He will be coming to the party at the Red Moon Pack". I say.

"You still plan on going. Every one would notice your scent. They will know you're carrying". He says.

"Let them. We don't know for sure. My scent changed days ago". I say.

"What if that asshole is there? He definitely will be there".

"I can't care any less if he is there or not". I say.

"I do. He is sure going to get it from me". Arthur says through clenched teeth.

"Just don't do anything stupid". I say and leave his room.

We arrive at the party long after it had started.

His scent hit me hard as soon as I enter the room. I look around for him. When I finally see him, he is already looking at me. Arthur comes up to stand beside me. Our eyes lock for a couple of seconds before I tear them away. I feel a sharp pain in my womb.

Before I know what is happening, my brother is already across the room pounding his fists into Levi's face.

God, no.
