"She's Pregnant" Diana confirmed and Achilles' breath hithed in his lungs as he gave her a hard stare. He still could not believe what his ears had just heard. He looked down to Bella who looked just as confused as he was and swallowed dryly. If Bella was pregnant, that meant he was going to be a father and… wait…
How could Bella be pregnant?
"This is not credible! I refuse to be a victim of falsehood! This is just one of your strategies to make me get involved with this girl. I refuse to be manipulated!" Achilles disagreed as he rose from the bed. Diana angrily rose from the as well bed and stood before him, prepared to grind down that arrogance of his and make him ratify the clear truth.
"Will you just cease all this childishness?" Diana reprimanded.
"Childishness? Really Diana? You call my frustrations childishness? How do you expect me to take this in? You very well know what has been going on in this Pack for the past fifteen years. No Shewolf, I repeat, no Shewolf has been able to conceive. How then do you expect me to react or feel after finding out that the Shewolf I had a one-night-stand with is pregnant with my child. How do you expect me to take this news?" Achilles lashed out his frustration about the issue.
"What exactly is going on?" Bella finally consulted sickly and both Diana and Achilles turned to meet her. She attempted to sit up right and the Diana instantly went down and assisted her to sit.
"Be careful" Diana cautioned as she pushed the chunk of hair covering her face behind her ear. "You need to stay calm"
"What's this I'm hearing? How am I pregnant?" Bella inquired, confused as she looked up at Achilles. "Alpha Achilles, what's going on?" She asked and Achilles hastily left the bedroom.
"Bella, right now we are still confused about what's going on, nevertheless, you will be given all the care you need. For now, you need to rest." Diana advised.
"Is Alpha Achilles mad at me? I didn't mean to get pregnant"
"Of course not dear, he isn't and it's not your fault you are pregnant. Like I said, he is just confused. He is going to be fine"
"This is all really confusing and I'm scared. If my matser finds out that I'm pregnant, he's going to throw me out and I will have nowhere else to go"
"Well, it's a good thing I'm here, because right now I'm taking you to the catsle. That will be your home from now on"
"The castle?" Bella asked astonished. "You are going to take me to the castle?"
"Yes dear. As it is now, you are carrying my niece or nephew and I cannot let you stay here and work as a servant for those tyrants. I'm taking you away to the castle, where you belong"
"But.. Alpha Achilles will not approve of this"
"Achilles will only let you stay here over his dead body" She disclosed and Bella looked at her thoroughly flabbergasted.
Everything she had just heard was overpowering and she had no idea had to react, what to say or do at the moment. She carefully touched her stomach and she still couldn't believe she was pregnant.
Everything had happened so fast.
Meanwhile, as Achilles walked out of the bedroom at the servant quarters, he was ushered into the main house where he met Mr. Donovan and Louisa panting about in their living room, looking very miserable and frightened. Till that moment, they had no idea what was going on. When Alpha Achilles and Diana arrived and asked for Bella, they were both shocked to the core. They tried to ask what had happened but one informed them.
They could only sit and wait for when the Alpha would come to enact judgement on them and there he was.
"Alpha Achilles" Both father and daughter called in unison with their heads bowed down.
Achilles looked at them in disdain as he calmly shock his head. He couldn't believe he had ever wanted to marry the girl standing before him. She was vicious and unpleasant, just like Diana had asserted and he thanked his stars for ruining the marriage plans.
He stood a distance away from them and took out his right hand that was shoved in his right pocket.
"Look at me, both of you" He commanded in his domineering Alpha voice abd they both lifted up their heads up to look at him. Louisa fidgeted with her fingers as remorse washed through her body.
"Alpha… I. .. didn't mean to hurt her so much. I saw the invitations you sent and I lost my temper so I… I…"
"Silence!" Achilles decreed and she shuddered as she shut her mouth. "The first day I came to the this household, I warned you both to refrain from laying your hands on Bella, didn't I?" He asked calmly, yet deadly and they both nodded their heads.
"Yes, you did"
"My sister, Diana, was here a few days ago and she gave the same orders, didn't she?" He asked furthermore.
"Yes, she did"
"But you still chose to go ahead and disobey the two of us. Mr. Donovan, you seem to be Alpha here, not me"
"No.. no! Never. Alpha Noah I'm sorry! I'm really sorry for going against your orders, I didn't mean to do that. Please forgive us. It will never happen again!" Mr. Donovan pleaded and all Achilles could see in his eyes was fibs and hypocrisy.
He knew if he left Bella there, they would do the same thing to her again.
"Today, youu, Louisa, you beat her up so bad and kicked her in the tummy, causing her to bleed. You almost killed my child she's carrying!" He informed and both Louisa and her looked at him confused.
"Your child?" Louisa asks mortified.
"And the scars I see on her body are horrendous. I will make sure you two are punished for all the things you have done to Bella. Prepare yourselves for your punishment." He contended as he vacated the living room, heading straight for the servant quarters where Bella's bedroom was located.
When he got into the bedroom, he met the two girls discussing and he couldn't help but gape at Bella. His heart skipped a bit when he saw her hand resting on her tummy.
Their miracle baby was in there.
They were going to have a baby!
That was the most unpredictable thing.
"Look who's back from his brooding mood" Diana taunted, looking at the door and Bella followed her gaze. When she saw Achilles standing by the door, all the hair on her body stood erect and her heart began stomping in her chest.
Alpha Achilles had all kinds of impacts on her and she detested it.
"Where's doctor Karl?" Achilles demanded as he stepped into the bedroom.
"He just went to get some medications at the hospital"
"Alright then, ask him to bring the medications to the castle. That's where he will attending to Bella henceforth"
"Of course" Diana respondedd with a glorious smile. She loved the fact that her brother was warming up to Bella.
"How are you feeling?" Achilles asked Bella and she swallowed dryly as she looked up into his piercing gaze.
"Uh… better. Much better"
"Good then. We're taking you home right now"
Bella gawked in blight as Achilles lowered him self and scooped her into his arms. She still hand on the clothes that had been stained with blood when she lost consciousness and she was so afraid that Alpha Achilles will get smudged.
"Alpha Achilles, you don't have to carry me, I can walk" She whimpered, but Achilles only adjusted her in his arms and walked on. "I have bloodstains on my skirt, it might soil your clothes" She warned but Achilles paid a deaf ear to her and marched on. "Alpha… Blood!" She cried again and Achilles stopped walking and stared down at her.
"Even if I get smudged , this won't be the first time I will be getting in contact with your blood, will it?" He asked and Blair gave him a confused stare as she tried to unravel what he meant by that. He furrowed his brows at her and that's when her brain kicked.
The day they had sex, she bled and it definitely stained him.
"Oh my God!" She clamored shyly as her face flushed red. She hid her face in Achilles big arms causing him to laugh as he walked on.
Bella was so embarrassed that wished
for the surface to open up and devour her, while Diana followed closely behind, smiling like and idiot and thanking the moon goddess for answering her prayers.
Achilles accepting Bella had been her ultimate wish and it had granted.
Right now, she was prepared for the war that was on the way, because she knew the pregnancy was not normal.
That baby in Bella's womb was the Pack's redemption and once their enemies found out, they would do everything in their power to kill it.
