Chapter 22 : With Child

“You are with child,” Elder Emerys said.

Her words echoed in my head again and again. And I couldn’t believe it. I didn’t want to believe it.

But I also couldn’t deny it.

“I will send word to have the journey prepared to the Moon Pool,” Emerys spoke. “Varon will want to go immediately.”

But her words froze me in my tracks. And I remembered something that she had said to me in another meeting like this.

‘Then if you are with child, the secret will be yours to keep while you live among us and are not showing. If you leave or are taken, I will be bound to share what I know. He is my Alpha. But you are my Luna. And it is the Luna’s prerogative over the Alpha’s children. A cub is with its mother, always.’

I reminded her of those words now.

“Will you not keep the secret for me any longer?” I asked her, pain in my voice.

A look of guilt crossed her face.
