Alpha And Luna
Chapter 64

Previously

I run to her and give her blood, my blood. So that she can regain some colour, which seems to be working. She wakes up and looks at me.

-Let me die, now that Shawn's gone, I don't have to stay here...

-No, I won't let you die.

-You mean us?

-You're pregnant Ana, you're going to have a baby...

Present

Anaève POV

I'm going to have a baby...a baby. I can't believe it, but I have to admit it doesn't surprise me, the only time we've done it I'd forgotten my pill for a while and Shawn didn't use a condom, so... Anyway, I look at my mum and smile. -Are you happy?

-Of course I'm happy! But Shawn...

-Don't think about him, think about the baby.

-Yeah, but that baby deserves a father!

-Anaève, this baby has a mother, three uncles who are ready to take care of him at all times and grandparents who will take care of him. So I don't see what the problem is.

I breathe out and stand up.

-Now go and eat, since you're eating for two.

I go downstairs. *Three-month eclipse

It's now three months since I found out I was pregnant and three months since I've been living in the hope that he'd come back. I still have this glimmer of hope that he's still alive, but the huge hole in my heart makes me think otherwise. But I don't want to, I don't want to think that he's dead, for me he's still alive.

-Ana! Come to my office," Nick shouts.

I sigh and stand up with difficulty, I've put on weight, but not enough according to the doctor. I head for my brother's office and replace him sitting in his chair, thousands of papers spread out on the desk. Maps of the territory, the surrounding area and all sorts of other things.

-You wanted to see me?

-Have a seat.

I do, and look at my brother.

-He's been found.

-Who's found him?

-Your stupid soul mate!

It took me a while to react, but I was right, he's still alive!

-Don't rejoice too quickly.

-Where is he now?

-Ana, this is not a good idea.

-Where is. Is. Is?

He blows and gets up.

-Follow me.

I follow him and after walking for a good ten minutes, we enter a room, a room like a hospital ward, but this one is different. I get the impression that it's a laboratory room, as if he's being observed and diagnosed. -Nick's...

-He's in this room.

I push open the heavy door and enter the room, to replace my love on a bed, his hands and feet tied. My God, what's going on?

I look up and see Shawn's red eyes.

-Shawn...

-YOU! he shouts.

I jump and get up from the bed. He tries to struggle against his restraints.

-I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you!

Tears are streaming down my cheeks, all his blankets are on the floor, he's glaring at me.

-What have they done to you...

-You did this to me! It's your bloody fault! If only I hadn't met you, we wouldn't be here now!

I let myself fall against the wall.

-I'm sorry...

He looks at me and just then I notice that he's managed to remove his ties, he smiles sadistically at me before jumping on my neck. Both his hands are choking me, I'm gasping for air, but I manage to take one of his hands and place it on my stomach, which is already bouncing from the pregnancy.

-It's your baby Shawn, our baby..., I manage to say before everything goes black,

POV Shawn

*Three months ago

I've been cooped up in this f*****g cellar for three days now, missing my wife... After she left, Jonas hit me over the head and I passed out. And I woke up here, every day I get a shot, I don't know what it is, but it's got me completely out of control. I can't control myself after the injection, it's like I'm being controlled. On the first day, it lasted about half an hour, but it's only getting worse. I can feel my wife's pain and I have to tell you, it makes me furious.

The door to my cell opens and Jonas comes in.

-Shawn! How was your night?

I growl.

-You know, I've heard that Anaëve is in a deep depression and she's not eating any more. The serum I invented works like a charm!

He grabs my arm and pricks me, Jonas has invented a serum that breaks the soul-mate bond, and between the two of us, it's as if I'm dead. I'm angry, Anaève should eat and not let my 'death' get her down. One month eclipse

I've been locked up in here for a month, a bloody month, but something's changed, I don't miss Anaève, my princess, after I got the serum, I don't like Anaève for a few hours. I don't like it at all... One month eclipse

I'm going to go completely mad, I know Anaeve exists, I love him, but at the same time I don't. When I see his face, all I can think about is him. When I see his face, all I want to do is kill him, the serum is a demon that enters me. I'm struggling to remember all the good times we've had together, but it's getting harder and harder, I don't think I can hold out much longer...

One month eclipse

Today's the big day according to Jonas, I'm finally going to be able to kill that traitor Anaeve, I'm so happy! This girl is a danger, she doesn't even deserve to live and that's why I'm going to kill her.

She's almost dead, just a few seconds to go and I'll have accomplished my mission, but she manages to take one of my hands and put it on her slightly rounded stomach.

-It's your baby Shawn, our baby...

T

I let go of her neck and put both hands on my head, pulling at my hair to make it stop. I remember the branding, the first time we did it, our fight and the last time I saw her, the fear of losing me evident in her eyes.

My soul mate is Anaève, my love, my princess and that traitor Jonas wanted me to kill her. He'll be sorry.

I open my eyes and see Anaève unconscious, breathing but weakly. I run to her and take her in my arms, I look at her face and rock her gently.

-I love you and I'll love you forever...
