Chapter 22

Maria POV

“Maria, when did you leave yesterday? Why didn't you pick my calls?” Nancy asked me. She sounded so tensed. I could mentally hear her inner thoughts.

Nancy came to my house to check on me. I decided not to talk about it last night. It was one hell of a night I wished to forget. The truth I never wished to discuss with her. She might even put the blame on her. I know her. I don't want to ruin her mood right now.

“I was bored and sleepy. So I went home early. I thought of not to distract you guys. My phone was in silent mode.” I controlled my tears.

“You look like shit. Are you okay?” Nancy looked worried.

“Yes. I needed rest” I said to her.

She talked about Aaron and other stuff that happened at the party. After sometime later she left.

I slept all day. Mike called me few times but I switched my phone off. I was scared and depressed. He might be playing with me. Maybe he chooses her instead of me. She was far better than me. Rich and beautiful. He only wanted my body and he got that. He might be calling to tease me.

“I don't want to see him. I will never come in front of him again. “

Days passed by but the scar in my heart was still fresh. Nancy and Aaron came multiple times to see me. I never got out of my house. Mike tried to call me but I ignored his calls. I wished not to see him again.

I was getting headaches often. So I took pills to get relief. But the symptoms took a U-turn. I started having nausea, stomach cramps, and headaches. I was always tired. So I decided to go for a medical check-up in case something worse was happening.

I was afraid to go alone. So I called Nancy to accompany me to the clinic. She came early to pick me up. I already made an appointment with Dr. Robert. He was the one I could trust.

Dr. Robert was pleased to see me. He gestured for me to sit down. I sat down and Nancy sat near me. I told him all my problems. I was afraid if I had anxiety problems or depression. I could read the confusion in his eyes while he checked me. He ordered the nurse to take my urine sample. I waited for the results while in the meantime she went to test my urine.

Sometimes later the nurse came up with my report. She produced the report to the doctor. I could see the tension in his face. Was I going to die?

He said Nancy to wait outside. He wished to speak with me alone.

“Do you have a boyfriend?” he asked me with a stern look on his face.

“No. Why?” I looked at him confused.

“No. It can't be. You are pregnant.” He said to me.

I was sweating and shaking. I remembered the time with Mike. Oh no I never knew things will get this worse. He didn't use protection. I started crying.

"Who did this to you, Maria?. I know what kind of a girl you are. You will never do something like this to your parents. Who is the father of your child?“ he was impatient.

“It was a boy in my class. His friend drugged me. I..I was so confused. “ I sobbed.

“He raped you.” He looked furious.

“No. He said I am his mate. The mating pull was so hard to control under the drugs." I didn't even think of what I was saying. I hide the part about Mike bribing that boy to drug me.

“You are a mate of a werewolf.” He was surprised.

“You can tell me. I am a werewolf too.” This time I was the one who was surprised.

Of course, he was one. He looked amazing for a human. His amber eyes were glowing while studying me.

“Mike Anderson," I said while brushing my tears away.

“Alpha is your mate.” He was shocked. He rubbed the bridge of his nose. He knew him.

“I know the boy since he was born. His dad was close to me. He is a family friend. I never thought he will have a human mate.” He sighed.

“Don't tell him about my pregnancy. He saw him kissing another girl. He never loved me. It's just this stupid pull. I want to leave this place and go somewhere else. Please help me, doctor." I begged him.

“Do you wish to keep the baby?” he asked me.

I sighed and didn't speak.

“Abortion will kill you. You don't have another choice but to give birth. I will take you and your family to my town. Mike won't know about it. You are mentally unhealthy. So a different environment will be nice.” He looked serious.

I thought of hiding everything from Nancy. If I tell her Aaron and Mike will know which would bring trouble. I want to keep this baby. Mike won't even know he had a baby. I need to speak with my parents.

I was afraid to tell my condition about my parents. I sat on the beach and watched the waves. Nancy went to buy ice cream for us. The cold breeze made my mind cool down a little bit. I was devastated. I thought of telling Nancy. But I changed my mind.

I thought of how I could face my parents. I was a bad daughter to them. My eyes felt teary. I had suicidal thoughts but I brushed them off thinking about the baby inside me. I will live for my baby.

I knocked on the door. I rubbed my head feeling frustrated. My mom opened the door. She looked different, she looked sad. Her eyes were teary. She looked like she was crying for so long.

“Mom. Is everything al..alright?” I asked with a cracking voice. She looked directly at me. Then she pulled me towards a tight hug. It was heart-warming. I couldn't control my tears. I hugged her back. I never cried like this before. Dad stood behind her. He looked devastated.
