Chapter 58: Chapter 58
Aaron Pov's
.
"What do you mean by staying away from Aana?" I frowned. Kathie is the third person who is asking me to stay away from my girl. What did they think of me? a monster who will eat her?
"Aana pregnancy is not normal, Aaron. She is carrying your child and you know who are you? Carrying your child means doing suicide willingly. I told her to abort when I sensed the baby's power. It was obvious that she can't carry your child, especially when her wolf is not with her and the fact that she wasn't marked by you is another danger sign" she snarled. Her words were like someone throwing cold water on my face which sends a chill down my spine. I realised what she meant when she said Aana is carrying my heir.
"I told her carrying this child means a clear suicide but she didn't listen to me. She told me that her baby is the only reason why she is breathing. Otherwise, after her mate rejected her, she lost all the reasons to live." she said. Her voice filled with tears as she empathised with Aana. Tears welled up in my eyes remembering the worst day of my life when I uttered those words and rejected her. I hate that day despite it being the right decision.
"She told me that her child would be the only reason why she is not killing herself but staying alive. After that, I didn't say anything to her and prayed to the moon goddess to keep Aana and her baby safe and healthy. I was closing looking into this case. Surprisingly her condition was stable. Sometimes her condition used to get worse when she started getting panic attacks or she cries a lot while missing you badly. She was going to a therapist as well, that's why I didn't need to worry much about her. Surprisingly, with the blessing of the moon goddess she was doing good but" She clamped up and looked at my side.
"But?" I asked, my voice filled with fear and concern for her.
"After your arrival, her condition is getting worse. She was having panic attacks one after another, having difficulty breathing, bp drops… everything that made her baby scared. She started using her power to adapt to the change in surroundings, making trouble for her mom and it's all happening because of you. Before the child inside her womb was calm and felt secure with Aana but because of your arrival her condition started getting worse and to protect her mom, the baby is using her power and strength on Aana's body. In short, the long story is that your presence is harming Aana and your baby." Her words made me dumbstruck. I was not able to accommodate the information she gave me. What can be worse than becoming the risk in your own child's life? tears brimmed in my eyes which somehow I controlled.
"My baby... today only I came to know about her arrival and you're telling me to stay away from her because I'm a danger to my own child's life" I laughed at the miserable situation.
"I'm sorry Aaron… I didn't mean to hurt you" Kathie muttered in a concerned tone after sensing my inner turmoil.
"You don't need to say sorry... If there is someone wrong over here it is me. I behave rudely with her in anger, and don't even care for once that she is pregnant" I mumbled and stood up from the chair. That's when my eyes went to Aana who was standing with the support of the door of the inner cabin.
She kept both of her hands on her stomach protectively when she found my eyes on her.
"Aana why are you standing there? I will give you an injection to sleep... you need a proper rest Aana" Kathie said and went towards her.
"You're on bed rest until next week. Let's go inside" She said holding her hand. Aana was staring at me with fearful eyes. My legs automatically started going towards her. I picked her up in my arms carefully.
"Aaron" Kathie clamour.
"Don't worry… I will be careful" I mumbled and took Aana towards the bed which was inside the cabin. She didn't say a single word to me. I made her lay on the bed and was about to kiss her forehead when she placed her hand on my chest, stopping me from coming closer to her. Kathie leaves the cabin to give us privacy.
I parted away from Aana and looked at her then sat on the chair beside her bed. My eyes get moist seeing the fear in her eyes... Fear from me. I was about to touch her cheeks but then stopped remembering her words.
"I can't lose my child Aaron. please go away from here… please… If you stay here then one day or another I will lose my child because of you"
.
A bow my eyes when a tear rolls down from my eyes which I quickly wiped off. I'm not even able to meet eyes with her. The thought that because of my stupidity, we might have lost our child was enough to tremble our souls in fear.
"I'm sorry, Aana" I muttered after gathering all my courage and then looking towards her face. She was looking at me with pure rage and hatred visible in her eyes.
"Your sorry can't change what has happened," she muttered.
"You know I'm not like this... I can't even think of harming you… don't know what is happening to me." I said, enraged at myself.
"I know... I know you're not like this but once you only told me that you're totally different with me than others but never in my bed dreams I thought you would traumatise me so much that I would have lost my baby." She muttered. Guilt filled me hearing her words. My eyes went to her stomach when she held it with one hand and caressed her belly lovingly. I was about to touch her stomach but she shoved my hand angrily.
"Dare you to snatch my baby away from me" She muttered leaving me dumbfounded.
"I just wanted to feel her just like you do," I mumbled. Her eyes softened upon hearing my words and a tear rolled from her eyes which she quickly wiped off.
"Don't know how things change between us so much? Before you used to calm down beside me and now see you're panicking because of me. What did I do that made you see me as a danger?" I asked, feeling devastated seeing fear in her eyes.
"You don't know, Aaron?" She questioned and laughed sarcastically.
"You made a contract to snatch my baby away from me and ask me what you did that I fear from you?" She growled and gave me a slow clap.
"wow, Aaron Smith.. wow" I turned my head in another direction. Not able to bear her bitterness. Her behaviour made me realise all my mistakes and my behaviour towards her. I was a dickhead.
"You know when you came here I was so happy but now I'm regretting that moment," Aana said. Tears started falling from her eyes. I look at her side hearing her sobs.
"After Vince's death, I was living my life anyhow but you... You changed everything. I regret the moment you came into my life, Aaron" Tears fell from my eyes, hearing her words and seeing her in so much pain.
"You indeed made me addicted to you, Aaron, and my addiction for you is much worse than drug addiction." She yelled at my face. I stood up from the chair and barged out of the room not able to bear her hatred towards me. I ran outside the building and sat on the park bench. Her words were continuously echoing in my mind.
"Addiction" I repeated her words and it reminded me of the day when I promised to become her addiction to make her forget the addiction of drugs. It means she remembers everything. She remembered that day when she cried in my arms in fear and I held her protectively in my arms unaware of the fact that one day she would cry in fear that I would harm her. She will get afraid of me who wants to protect her from the whole world.
