Blurb "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. After sacrificing everything for love, Leah's world shattered when her husband's betrayal left her lost and pregnant. Rescued from the brink of despair by a mysterious stranger, she's given a second chance. But as dark rumors surround her savior, Leah wonders: has she escaped the darkness or merely traded one shadow for another?"
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.
