The Rebellious Omega

Blair POV

"Blair," Sierra said sharply, taking hold of my arm "I don't think you should be here. How about we go upstairs and..."

"Aw is Blair feeling nauseous" taunted Stella, even as Braedon glanced towards me "What a weak excuse of a Luna Queen."

My eyes flashed black and my wolf surged to the surface. "Shut it b***h" my wolf said in a deceptively quiet tone "I don't like the way you're speaking to my human." Stella laughed, the sound full of sarcasm. "You don't scare me mutt" she spat out.

My wolf leered at her and then shot her hand out, our nails growing to large claws. Before Braedon could move to stop us, Dusk tore through Stella's throat, tearing it apart. We watched without remorse as she dropped to the ground, blood pooling around her body, Dusk turning to regard our mate coldly.

"She was pissing me off and Blair needs to get out of this dark smelly place" she sniffed.

Sierra calmly grabbed my arm as Dusk returned control back to me, guiding me towards the stairs as I blinked at her. "Well, that sure as hell ended things" she sighed as Braedon began to follow behind us, quickly making motions toward the guards to begin cleaning up "Your wolf has one hell of a temper" she added.

"Sorry," I said not feeling it "Dusk has a mind of her own."

"Tell me about it" Braedon growled "I was hoping that Stella might have some more information to provide, no matter how small it might have been."

We made it back into the pack house, and I turned to look at him apologetically, but he pulled me into him. "You matter more" he murmured "If I'd realized how much the dungeon would affect you, I wouldn't have taken you down there."

I just groaned and held onto him tightly, feeling as though I was on fire. He touched my forehead, concerned. "She's heating up," he said to Sierra "Quickly get the doctor" he growled, picking me up and racing towards our room. "So hot" I moaned, wriggling in his arms.

"I know honey," he said, kicking the door open and putting me on the bed. He began to help me out of my clothes, before rushing into the bathroom and starting a bath. He picked me up and dumped me into it unceremoniously, and I leaned against the tub, grateful to feel the water begin to cool me down slightly. I didn't understand the heat. what was it? Where was it coming from?

I sweated profusely. A pain shot through my abdomen and I doubled over, crying out in pain as Braedon held onto my hand, cursing out loud as we waited for the doctor to arrive. I looked down and my eyes widened in panic, as did Braedon's. Fear washed through me and I began to feel hysterical.

"Braedon" I shrieked, and he gripped my hand even tighter "Braedon the baby" I sobbed.

"I know sweetheart, I know," he said, "try not to panic. The doctor is coming."

Another pain in my abdomen, another short scream issued from my lips. I began to cry, as the doctor came walking in. She took the situation in at once. "King Braedon, I need you to carry your mate to the bed and lie her down," she said briskly, moving out of the way.

Braedon instantly picked me up, ignoring the fact I was getting him wet, and wrapped a towel around me, carrying me in a rush to the bed. He laid me down, keeping the towel under me. "My baby" I implored the doctor.

"I understand you're worried, but I need you to keep calm" the doctor advised me as she began to take my vitals "Your heart rate is skyrocketing and your blood pressure is sky high," she said "Neither of which is good for the baby."

I nodded, focussing on my breathing, even as Braedon gripped my hand, his eyes filled with anxiety, a look of bleakness coming over his face.

The moon goddess could not be this cruel I thought as I looked up at the doctor, my body trembling as she began to mind-link her staff to bring some equipment. She couldn't do this to me and Braedon. I couldn't bear it. My hand rested on my stomach, tears trailing down my cheeks. The doctor began to listen out for a heartbeat and my breath caught in my throat as I began to pray. The blood pouring out between my legs gave me a feeling of dread and it was like I was screaming on the inside. If I had been granted the opportunity, I would have sacrificed anything in that moment, including myself if it meant that my unborn child had the opportunity to live.

My body shook all over. Braedon's eyes were suspiciously shiny and I suspected that he was close to tears as well. I tried to reach my wolf but Dusk was emitting nothing but fear and was closed off to me. She too, was fearful of our pup and that caused another fresh wave of fear to shoot through me.

Even my wolf was unable to comfort me and that signalled that something had gone wrong. The doctor continued to look for a heartbeat and the longer she took, the more I began to feel resigned, as though it was all over for me. My heart felt like it was breaking into a thousand shards, and my soul withdrawing into a deep abyss.

My baby. My poor baby. What had I done to deserve this? I could feel myself becoming numb as the doctor bit her lip. Just as I had given up all hope, my body slick with sweat, my breathing shallow, the urge to vomit overwhelming, she finally spoke, her voice anxious "There's a heartbeat" she said and I cried, tears of joy, even as she continued, her tone ominous and worried "but it's not as strong as it should be and the bleeding is of great concern. We need to do an ultrasound and it's clear that you are taken ill Luna Queen" she added, beginning to take my temperature "we must now determine what is wrong and hope that it can be fixed in order to save your pup."
