LILLIAN’S POV

I urged the cab driver to speed up as the hospital building loomed ahead of me.

Despite my pregnancy, I couldn't abandon Mike in surgery, though I'd vowed to make this my last healing.

An hour ago, I had just finished setting up the dinner to announce my pregnancy when his secretary called, her voice urgent. "Dr Mike is stuck in the OR with a patient. He needs your help Mrs Ferdinez"

I smiled forcefully, trying not to sound harsh as I chose my words carefully, "Nurse Sheila I'm very sick today. Tell Mike I haven't recover fully from the last healing session"

"But...." She wanted to say but I ended the call.

Sooner, the cab screeched to a halt, I rushed to the OR, slipping past the nurses protest with the pass Mike had given me incase of times like this.

Aside from his secretary who knows our secret, others never knew I was his wife because a healer is banned from entering the hospital grounds! And we have to keep our marriage a secret because the pack council must not know that a doctor married a born healer!

Just some steps to the OR, the door slid open, doctors and nurses spilled out, and the patient on the stretcher. Mike and his secretary follows, drained, his eyes cold.

I stomped to him urgently, "Hubby. What happened? How's the surgery?"

Mike eyed me for a split second, but he was silent, he just roll his eyes and walk toward his office while I follow, my questions unanswered.

In his office, Mike slumped into his chair, heavy with exhaustion. Sheila, the secretary dropped the file and eyed me jealously for a split second before leaving us alone.

"Why are you silent, what happened to the patient?" I pressed.

“Fine thanks”

“Come on darling" I tried to kiss him. "Why are you being cold?”

He shunned me angrily, “Leave me alone! The patient is fine, Thanks!"

“S-sure, I’m happy that you pulled it off” I stammered, “When are you getting off work? So we can go home together"

“I’m working overtime today" he replied simply but the tone hurts as hell.

“Mike dear?” I began my announcement gently since he won't be coming home tonight which means my elaborate dinner is for nothing.

I hugged him from behind and rest my head on his shoulder trying to inhale his scent. “Today is a day of joy for us, can't you smile for me just a little?”

Mike was still clueless released me, “A special day? After you shunned Sheila and showed up late?"

“No” I smiled timidly, trying to keep my nervousness in check, because I don't know if this is the right time to tell about the pregnancy. But then again, telling him will make him understand my absence.

I grabbed my bag and hesitated for a while before pulling out the thin strip. With shaky hands, I presented it to him like a gift, my heart racing madly "Mike, we're having a baby!”

He took it, and glanced at the object with keen eyes as I watched him, anxious, waiting for his joy to match mine. His eyes suddenly came alive and he shot me a shocking glance, “What is this?”

“I’m 8 weeks pregnant! Now our dream to have a heir that will carry the family legacy is coming true!!" I can’t hold back and blurt it out directly.

Tears in my eyes, I moved toward him, wanting to embrace him. But as happy as I am, his expression still isolated me.

“Are you sure about this, or is it just a trick to make me forgive you for what happened earlier?” He suddenly asked, pushing me away.

“Mike… Of course, I’m sure” I took his hand and place it on mine, “Check for yourself”

“Damn it!” Mike cussed in frustration. "How can you get pregnant now of all times? Have you forgotten that your powers can't help me if you're pregnant?"

That's right. I can only heal others by laying my hands on them and giving them energy but never myself and being pregnant, no healer can heal anyone as it is a wild belief that I now share body with another life.

If I know he would react like this, I would have delay it a little bit longer. I put on a smile again, trying to persuade him, "C'mon Mike, it's just for nine months. And we're having a child after all two years of marriage......"

"Who says I need a darn child!!!" He screamed. Then he stood up and held my hands, "Baby, we can still hold on. Let's abort this thing until I become best doctor award and...."

"Mike!!" I yelled angrily, yanking my hands from his angrily. "Are you crazy? Is the best doctor award the only goal you have in life? What about our marriage?"

"Lillian, I just want to....."

I really don't want to hear it. "Fine. You don't want this child, then I'll keep it alone!"

I turned to leave but he suddenly grabbed my hand and pulled me back. "Mike, Stop?"

"Lillian Miller, did you think you can spoil my life with one stupid child?" malice laced his tone. "Let's go back to how we used to live. Just you, me, and the hospital."

"Mike... This isn't you! You said you love children!" I cried not minding his persuasive speech. He tossed me around making me face him. "Lillian I really do. But not now. You told me you won't let anyone know that I'm not so good of a doctor right?"

The expression on his face is totally different from the Mike I used to know. Fear tugged my heart and, I instantly regret the day I promised to use my powers to help him. "Mike....."

“I'm sorry Lillian, but this the real me" His voice sound very husky and before I could think, he grabbed a syringe loaded with sedatives that I know to bring mad werewolves down in a second and injected my belly with it, pain ripping through me.

"I built this life from the day I watched my mum die without any doctor helping her. The best doctor award will give me the life I wanted, so get this thing out and help me till the end"

My eyes widened in shock as the pain spread to my body and instinctively, I yelled, But not loud enough to be heard outside as the door was locked.

Mike yanked the syringe free, his voice cold, “The goddess made me an omega met you a healer for this reason. You'll be fine soon my love"

The drug starts to spread to my brain, my body is shaking incredibly and my eyes starts to dim.

No!

“Mike... I wanted to say but I sank into darkness before I could say anything else.

****

Pain throbbed in my head, my body paralyzed, eyes seal shut but my ears are working just fine.

The darkness eats down into me, I feel like a lost puppy. Just then, I heard feets approaching me.

A light of hope lit in my mind, thinking they're coming for me but instead, what I heard was a thud on the bed.

"Dr Mike, we shouldn't be doing this here" that's Mike's secretary. I could recognize her voice.

Dr Mike.... That means Mike is there but I can't call for help. Anger and sadness coursed through me as I remembered what Mike did to me, but there's nothing I could do.

I heard the sound of a zipper opening. His voice flirting, "What should I do if my wolf is hungry for you, Sheila?"

Sheila moaned, "Come on Dr Mike, zip your trouser, I can't do anything with your wife here"

Then I heard him snort. "She can't react right now. The sedative is enough to knock her out for hours"

"But Mike...."

"Relax" Mike reassured her. "The receptionist is keeping everyone out until she wakes. Don't worry"

Betrayal burned worse than the pain. I now realized that I was really stupid. My mum said my abilities should be kept to myself alone because it's a curse, but I thought Mike was different. Perhaps she's right.

Afterwards, I listened as they both make out, not minding me. When they're done, Sheila kicked my side, sneering, "She thinks she's the most beautiful, her belly will be swollen after the sedative wears off, I'm sure"

Mike laughs dryly. "But I don't see anything pretty in her? Anyway, get the kit to wake her up before someone sees her"

Sheila giggles and leaves the office I wish I can open my eyes to see, I can talk or even move, but I can't.

I don't know if I'm crying right now. But I heard Mike smirk, "Sleep all you want darling. All I know is you should wake up and start using your power for me again. That's why you're born"

Sheila comes back afterwards. But by this time, something else is happening to me. The radiating pain is getting out of control and my body activates some kind of trait I don't understand, as if I'm not myself anymore.

I sprawl on the floor, making Mike and Sheila ask themselves what's happening to me.

Just as I thought I should just embrace whatever it is, the darkness grows thicker and my ear gave way.... My body stops moving too..

It fells like death, but no, Something else is growing inside of me, not the feeling of the pup, but something else..

Then a voice echoes, "Blood!"
