THE REJECT HYBRID AND HIS LUNA

Leah's POV

Sitting in this same chair, reminiscing about the last time I was in this room two years ago. I had avoided hospitals since then, haunted by them.

"Mrs, are you listening?", the doctor's voice broke through my thoughts, his voice calm as ever.

"Oh yes" I replied with a smile

Sure that he had my total attention, he sat down on his seat and placed a file before him.

" Ma'am, I am here with your test results and it's a miracle", he said, smiling.

Suspicious, I asked, "What's a miracle, doctor? The crazy pain that I am feeling? Because that is not feeling miraculous".

He chuckled, opened the file, and flipped it towards me so I could see what was written on the page he opened to.

I stared until my eyesight became hazy and teary then I looked back up at the doctor. His smile was wider but I couldn't move my lips to utter a word.

"Can you explain what I am seeing?", I finally asked.

"You are pregnant. That is the only explanation", he answered.

A cold shiver ran down my spine as those words came out of his mouth, I sat there, staring at the positive pregnancy test in my trembling hands, time seemed to stand still.

A rush of emotions flooded over me, like a tidal wave crashing against the shore. Excitement bubbled up within me, mingling with disbelief and sheer joy.

"What! You are joking, right? Don't play with me, doctor?" I said as I closed my eyes, trying to absorb the reality of it all.

"You are pregnant ma'am, those are your test result"

"But the last time I was here, you said I couldn't get pregnant", I asked again, hesitant to be happy, my head spinning.

"Sorry, I didn't say you can't get pregnant. I said you had slim chances of getting pregnant but what your body did with those chances is amazing. Congratulations", the doctor said, standing up with his hands outstretched.

I couldn't take his hands, I couldn't stop staring at the file, my mouth opened, my brain slow and when it finally caught up, tears filled up my eyes and began to fall on the paper.

Images of tiny fingers and toes, sweet baby giggles, and sleepless nights filled my mind. I couldn't help but imagine the life growing within me, the precious soul that would soon call me "mom".

Aiden and I have been married for four years, but our union has yet to be blessed with a child. Although Aiden outwardly appears unconcerned, I sense a deep-seated desire for an heir to succeed him as Alpha of the Shadowfell pack, one of the largest and most powerful packs in the country.

Without an heir, his leadership would be perceived as vulnerable.

Despite this, Aiden's love and devotion to me remain unwavering, and he has never pressured me about our childlessness.

His unconditional acceptance was a significant factor in my decision to forsake my inheritance and disown my family when they opposed our union.

I knew that Aiden and I were destined to be together, a bond confirmed by the moon goddess herself, who had chosen me as his mate.

'"So, I am pregnant, I am a complete woman", I whispered and then stood up, totally disregarding the doctor, and left the room.

Everything felt unreal, my hands unconsciously went to my belly, the once blinding pain now welcoming.

I breathed differently, I walked better and weirdly, and I left the hospital, different from the way I went in, more purposely.

"Four whole years of waiting...I need to tell Aiden, I need to show him that I am a whole woman.", that's the only thought that was in my head as I got into the car.

I tried calling Aiden but his line wasn't going through, so I called his office and his secretary told me he left for home.

My driver looked concernedly at the look on my face but I ignored and told him, more like commanded him to drive me home and he did.

When I got home, I was still in my bubble, unaware of anyone but my need to talk to Aiden I didn't notice the weird looks from the staff.

I got to our room and pushed the door open, revealing Aiden and...

Wait!!

A woman? Another woman!! With Aiden?

The questions swirled in my head as I watched them kiss so passionately, with Aiden's hands all over her, the same hands that were all over me last night.

My bubble bursted as I walked into the room and screamed "What's the hell is going on here? Aiden, what are you doing with her? Who is she?"

As with all the drama that goes on in movies, this would be the part where the man pushes off the other woman and starts begging his wife but it didn't play out like that.

The woman turned to look at me, disgust written so clearly on her face before slowly, taking her sweet time to get off my husband's body and Aiden looked so mesmerized by her every movement.

"Fix this mess", she said, kissing my husband on the cheeks before striding out of the room, rudely brushing me.

Aiden turned to face me, he didn't beg, he just stared at me, without remorse, without any emotions and I was scared.

I walked up to him, anger fueling my movement, making my voice shrill as I shouted out my questions.

"Who is she? Who is she Aiden? Aiden, answer me?"

"Oh, please shut up bitch", a man that sounds a lot like my husband, looks a lot like my husband but is not my husband said.

" Aiden?", I called out, totally confused.

"What Leah? Surprised to see another woman treating me like I deserve", the stranger bellowed out.

Still, in disbelief, I walked over to him and held his shirt, shaking him "Aiden, don't say that, please. You know I love you, right? I know you love me, we are mates destined to be together"

"So please, explain to me what going on? Tell me, Aiden, tell me anything, I would understand".

I know I am sounding desperate but I can't help it. Nothing is making sense anymore, especially my husband.

I continued shaking him, with my tears falling onto his face until he pushed me, forcefully.

I fell to the ground and my hands went instinctively towards my stomach. Remembering the good news I had rushed home to tell me, I burst into tears and it was full-on ugly crying.

Aiden stood up and turned to look at me with disgust and my heart got torn into pieces, " I don't want you anymore Leah, I am sure what you saw made it pretty obvious"

"I disowned my family for you Aiden, I threw my inheritance just to be with you_"

"I never asked you to do all these, those were your choices" he shot back at him, his face devoid of any emotion.

At that moment, I wished I had listened to my family when they refused me to get married to him.

Love clouded my head, I was blinded to all his flaws and I fought against my family. Running away from them into Aiden's arms, cutting them off to form my own family with Aiden.

Now I am here with the shell of a man that I love, that I sacrificed everything for, and know that my time is up.

My wailing increased as I crawled towards him, hoping to beg him to let me stay, to make everything alright. I heard him bellow out my driver's name.

I got to him and held his leg but he forcefully dragged his legs away and walked away from me.

I tried going to him again but I felt this sharp pain and I hastily lay down, hoping my baby was safe.

The driver came into the room looking all confused.

"Aiden I went to the doc_"

"From this day onward, you cease to be my Luna, I REJECT YOU."

I heard my husband destroy the remnants of my heart.

Leah's POV

My soul screamed in pain, refusing my body the ability to hold life. I rose, trying to save myself some dignity but the pain got worse so I lay back down.

I grabbed around for Aiden but he already left the room. The driver took my hands instead and helped me up, leading out of the room, to the car.

When I got in, the driver asked me where I would want to go and the only place I could think of was the hospital because of the immense pain I was feeling.

Resting my head against the windows, trying to assuage the pain, I ignored the passing scenery. The pain got worse, and my belly badly cramping.

I felt it first, the grasp of death before I saw it, the trail of blood down my leg. I screamed and told the driver to hurry up.

On getting there, I was rushed to the emergency room. It was amidst the intense pain and blood Loss, that I passed out

••••••••••••

As I slowly opened my eyes, the sterile scent of the hospital filled my senses. The bright fluorescent lights above cast an eerie glow on the plain white walls.

My head throbbing with a sharp pain in my neck, I placed my hand there as I tried to make sense of my surroundings.

A surge of panic coursed through my veins when I suddenly remembered what had happened. The beeping of the machines beside my bed only intensified my anxiety.

"Ma'am, are you alright" I heard someone say from beside me, and that's when I noticed the doctor standing close to me.

I raised my head to meet his eyes, and I couldn't look past the expression on his face, it wasn't sadness or worry, it was pity.

And I just knew, I knew I had lost my only hope, I lost all fight.

I cried for the happiness I wasn't fully allowed to feel, I cried for the bond that wasn't even allowed to form, I cried for the bond that was broken today and I cried for me, a woman with nothing.

"I am sorry, we tried our best," The doctor said as if that was enough to lessen my pain.

Listening to my body mourn, my consciousness walked out, lending my heart some sort of relief until the anguish was somehow bearable.

Suddenly the door was swung open, I did not care who it was until I heard the doctor say "I don't think she is mentally ready to entertain any visitor"

"I will be quick"

I knew it was him, even with everything that had happened, a part of me was glad that he had come, maybe the version of my husband I last experienced is a fragment of my imagination but watching him sit far away from me, his face blank, his eyes set alight with disgust, I shudder.

"I lost it, I lost our child" Those were the only words that came out of my mouth.

"I know", he replied, his face devoid of any emotion.

"You know? That's all you have to say?" my breaking voice let out, tears spilling out.

"What do you want me to say? That's it's my fault_"

"Yes Aiden, it was your fault" I replied, my voice almost like a whisper.

"Oh please, stop this disgusting act. Get over yourself. You are not the first person to lose a pregnancy. You were not supposed to be pregnant in the first place, you are barren, incapable of giving life", Aiden bellowed out, striding towards me.

"What are you saying? I'm not barren, I was pregnant", I whispered, barely getting the words out.

He was beside me now, holding my chin up with strong hands, "For how long? Two seconds? Who knows maybe the doctor made a mistake", he said while looking at me.

The scary part about this is not the words, is that, while looking back at him, I could tell he meant it all, all the harsh words leaving his mouth. He meant it all.

I was mute, staring helplessly at him, watching the emotions dance on his face, and without thinking, I muttered, "Go to hell"

The emotions stopped at disbelief as he leaned down and asked, "What did you just say to me?"

"Take your filthy hands off me and go to hell", I screamed at his face, pulling my chin and throwing him off me.

In his anger, he slapped me, leaving me disoriented. I looked back at him, with shock clear on my face.

He looked back at me, still angry and disgusted, he threw an envelope, that I had not noticed he was holding to me.

"I want it signed and delivered to me", he said before walking out of the room.

I quickly opened the envelope with my trembling hands and I was shattered when I saw it content, a divorce letter.

I threw away the letter from me, it was starting to feel heavy.

At this point I felt like I had reached my limit, I couldn't take it anymore, I had lost everything and within seconds, I had decided to no longer live and I felt nothing.

I pulled out the drip from my arms, stood up, and headed for the rooftop, when I got there, I went up the edge and stood there, waiting for the push that led me here to help me take the next step away from life.

But there was nothing, the blinding courage that held me in its hold was nowhere to be found and I was just standing at the very edge of the ledge, just waiting.

"Now I know why he left me, I am a coward, I can't even take my life, I can't do anything worthwhile", I told the air, shamefully.

I attempted to move away from the edge but my leg slipped.

My hands were flaying, my eyes bulging, a scream Lodged in my throat, refusing to be let out, fear held me in his grip.

"Is this it?", I thought, as I watched the edge on which I once stood get farther and farther away from me, my life unfolding before me.

I forced my eyes close, deciding to accept my fate, I mean, I had no other option then I stopped.

I stopped falling and from the pull on my leg, I guess, it wasn't my supernatural strength surfacing because I was dying.

I tried opening my eyes to see my savior but at that moment, those hands pulled me up roughly and I banged my head against the walls and blanked out.

Leah's POV

Ouch

My head hurts badly, light dancing in its raw form in my eyes the few times I tried opening it, causing me to shut it back.

When I felt a bit stable, I opened my eyes again and noticed I was still in the hospital and in the same room I left.

The memories are hazy, I clearly remember leaving this room to go up the ledge, I remember falling off, I also remember being saved by someone and judging by the feel of their arms, it's a male.

Was it Aiden? No, it can't be. But what if he came back? To me? A bit of me, the extremely hopeful bit was delusional.

Still trying to figure out what exactly happened, the doctor came in, smiling with relief.

"The nurses told me you had woken up so I decided to come to check up on you", he announced as he walked towards me.

"So Mrs, how do you feel in general?", he asked, wearing back his stethoscope. He looks genuinely concerned about my state of being.

"I feel fine, just a little bit disoriented", I answered, as truthfully as I could.

"I wouldn't blame you, seeing the number of days you spent in a coma", he replied.

Wait a damned minute! Days? Coma? What's going on?

"Sorry doctor, how long do you reckon I have been in a coma?", I asked, a bit scared of the answer.

"Reckon? I know you have been in a coma for six days", he replied, his voice increasingly calm.

"We found you in the room, your clothes askew, your drip no longer connected to your arms, totally passed out on the ground and that's when we rushed you back in the bed and commenced another treatment", he explained.

A question has been lingering in the back of my head since the doctor explained how he found me. I turned to the doctor only to find him looking at me with what bore resemblance to pity.

"When would I be discharged" I asked,

"You are well and you look well so, all you need to do is to come over to the front desk, sign a couple of papers, and then you can go", he replied.

"Ok, that I would do. Thank you doctor", I told him, sincerely. He nodded and left.

When he closed the door after him, I hastily got up to get dressed.

I called my driver and he told me he was close to the hospital so I ended the call. I noticed the envelope containing the divorce letters close to my bed.

I got hold of it and I was filled with instant fury, but I wasn't going to sign it yet, not until I got clarification from Aiden on why he treated me this way.

Discharged and already in my car, I gave the driver my location. He threw me a look through the rear mirror but I looked away and told him to drive.

The guilt raised its head again and I let it toss me about but I can't give up now, all my life, all I ever knew was loving Aiden. He was the son of my dad's

friend, the Alpha before Aiden, and I grew up loving him.

After the death of his father, Aiden was crowned Alpha and was asked to choose a Luna and he picked me.

But as the only child of my father and next in line of the leader of the Order I wasn't supposed to fall in love or have kids, I was supposed to dedicate my whole life to the cause.

I wanted a family of my own so I went against my dad and threw away my inheritance, my home, and everything I knew, only to be slapped in the face in return.

My thoughts were disrupted by the new look of Aiden's place. When the car stopped and I got out, I went forward to investigate the place and it looked like someone threw a party.

"Ma'am, I don't think it's a good idea for you to go in. I can drive you somewhere else", my driver offered but I ignored him.

"What's going on here?", I asked him but he chose to ignore me,

I left him standing and walked inside the compound and on seeing me, a deafening silence ensued. Everyone was staring nervously at me but I ignored them all.

I scanned for Aiden and spotted him sitting under a constructed canopy, on a love seat but he wasn't alone, he was with her.

Blood rushed to my brain, my eyes saw nothing but red and I squeezed the envelope in my hands, blindly rushing towards him.

"How dare you, you scum bag, you couldn't even wait for me to divorce you and you went on ahead to marry this.. this.. this stupid bitch", I screamed, throwing tables that stood in my way.

Seeing him sitting so calmly, not moved by my rant got me more infuriated. I went for the wedding cake, lifted it, and threw it on the floor.

It looked ugly anyway.

This got his attention as he stood up, and called for security but that didn't deter me, I continued throwing things at him.

" I can't believe I thought you were worth shit, I hate you and I pray you burn in hell, you cum-sucking fool, you bloody bastard"

"Cheating, lying bastard. I hate you, I hate that I loved you", I continued screaming, backing my stuff- throwing.

Security arrived but they didn't touch me, there were warnings and advice for me to stop and leave but I ignored them all and continued cursing out Aiden.

His bitch tried coming at me but Aiden held her back and started walking towards me instead. I stood, ready to defend myself, if need be.

"This is your last warning Leah, get the hell out of my palace!" he was angry I could tell but I was more angry.

"No Aiden, not until you tell everyone here how you are a cheating and lying bastard, and how you killed our child"

Those last words might have gotten to him badly, he raised his hands to hit me but he was held back,

Wait? What? Did someone hold his hand?

I watched Aiden look up to the person behind me, to see the person who had the nerve to stop him and I saw the moment, shock took over.

Aiden had never been scared of anyone in his life but to see him shaken up like this,

I turned to see who it was and OH MY GOD!
