Chapter 3 Keep me in the dark

Durai smiled and kissed my cheek. I rolled my eyes at him and he growled sinisterly. "I do not care for eye rolling so keep them still when I show you affection." My heart squeezed so tight I forgot to breathe.

" Reika darling Durai has been my friend for centuries, He is the last of his kind and you've been his since you were just an egg." My mother explained like it wasn't a big deal. I looked at her and back at him. Was I the only one who felt like I was in the dark the longest. My mother never hid things from me but this. Well it explains why she couldn't stand Claude. I had a weird feeling and ran to the bathroom and puked. After emptying my stomach I drank some water from the sink and stood up looking in the mirror. "Ahhhh!" was all I could get out. " Durai my dear you better explain to her cause shes going to strangle you here in a second." I heard my mother tell the evil man. " Bam!" I threw open the door screaming what is this pointing to my belly. I looked three months pregnant. Durai had a huge smile and he came to hug me. His hugs made me feel better and that's when I lost it and cried what did you do to me in his chest. My mom was doing back flips through the phone. Durai looked down at me smiling from ear to ear. My little love you are pregnant." I glared at him with evil eyes that could beat Hades in a stare off. " What do you mean pregnant?!?! I'm on birthcontrol!" I hollered. He laughs at me. I never thought I could get pregnant yet with birthcontrol so what's the difference I thought. My face gave me a way and Durai explained that Lycan sperm is unbeatable. The mere human contraception was nothing but a joke. I wanted to sink in a hole and waste away.

" How is that possible I'm not some mythical creature?" I sat there on the floor thinking hard. " My little girl I haven't told you something yet. We are wiccans. And as wiccans we can mate with any creature under the sun." my mom was calm about this and I on other hand snap. I laugh hysterically crawl to my huge bed and lay down and go to sleep. "Durai dear exactly how many offspring do you produce in one go? I know your race can produce 6 babies at once? Do you think she may have six?" Rowena asked her long time friend. Durai looked at her and looked at his sleeping, stressed out, emotional wreck of a mate and tilted his head and listened. He grinned widely and couldn't help but melt for his little mate and his six little pups to be born. " Six in total Rowena. I feel like this is a bit much for Reika. When are you coming home so we can sit down and talk to her about everything? " Durai asked as he looked at his true love sleeping. Rowena saw his face and she couldn't be happier for her friend or daughter. She knew Reika had a hard time finding a boyfriend she liked. She knew her daughter gave up when she met Claude but she could not interfere with how Durai wanted to meet her. " Durai, where is Claude by the way? You didn't kill him did you?" Rowena smiled waiting for the tea to be spilled. Durai explained everything that happened. Rowena listened well and told Durai to take things slow. But little did they know Reika was awake and listening the whole time. Eventually she went into a deep sleep and didn't wake up for two days.

" Ugghhhh I feel like I've been hit by a mac truck." I grumbled and headed for the bathroom. I got a shower and looked down at my belly. I felt so happy and complete that I forgot I was mad about everything. After drying and looking for things to wear I gave up. I huffed out of the closet and saw bags of maternity clothes on my bed. I was dumbstruck and looked at Durai. He had a beautiful sun dress for me in his arms. I was taken back by his gesture but felt warm and fuzzy he cared so deeply for me even though he just forced his way into my life. " You don't have to be nice to me, we just met 48 hours ago. " I told him callously. He chuckled and looked at me and then my belly. I forgot I was naked so you can say I was blushing redder than a tomato in June. So grabbing the dress and throwing it on to cover up I search for undergarments. Scurrying to the bathroom I get dressed and throw my blonde hair up in a pony tail and come out to see Durai finding the items Claude gave me and threw them out the window. As I looked down at my stomach I looked like I was due in 2 months. "Durai I have a question; How long is the pregnancy for your kind?" He looked at my belly and smiled. "Three months and we have Three boys Three girls." Durai looked at me with the most purest form of love at me. All I could do was melt.

Everything feels better and normal with him. I cracked open my books for school to study. Durai looked at my assignment and stay close to me to help me. Oh hell, how am I going to go to school ??? I look huge! I groaned and Durai panicked and asked me what was wrong. I looked at him and cried. Not that soft cry I was a sobbing ugly crying mess. " How am I suppose to graduate now? huh??? I look like I ate a whole pumpkin! I'm a hippo!!!!" Literally I ugly cried on his shoulder. He laughed as he held me. "Reika love you can go to school still I changed your schedule so you can do night classes." He said with such confidence I started to ponder. ( Did he set this up?)
