The Tale Of A Pregnant Luna

Chapter 18:

“*Reese's POV: (Continued)**

groaning from sleep I allowed myself to sit up. her scent washed over me in waves of sweetness and there was nothing more I wanted than to mark her as my Luna. my other Half...My mate. she shuffled beside me before finding comfort and snoring lightly again, making me chuckle at her cute behaviour.

again, I really wanted to do it again, but not wanting to wake her up in the midst of her slumber I held myself back. Colleen Anderson. the omega of the pack. this felt like another alpha and omega tale that I've heard countless times from those alphas considered rare. An alpha being paired with an omega was just as rare as an alpha being paired with and alpha. it was special.

but.. just as much as it was rare it was also quite dangerous

sighing, I refused to let my negative thoughts get a hold of me. grabbing my boxers and pants that was misplaced on the floor I headed down to the quiet pack house. the party had ended a couple of hours ago, and what remained were drunk teenagers passed out on the floors of the pack house. they reeked of alcohol making me gag slightly. the one reason I hated attending gatherings like this.

it was quite bizarre how the party continued for this long even without the person the party was being held for. I couldn't help but think over Dean's words of this being beneficial to the beta’s daughter. taking my thoughts away from something that would just put me in a bad mood I grabbed a bottle of water and decided to make my way back upstairs towards colleen.

"I see you had a wonderful time." a voice said catching my attention.

I turned around to come face to face with a man I had never seen before, but his eyes. I'd seen his eyes before. he sat in the dimly lit living room.

"Who are you?" I questioned.

he simply chuckled at my question, my annoyance getting the best of me. I had no time for this. he stood up tilting his head towards me. "The name's daddy of the girl you just slept with." he's smile sinister and cunning.

taken aback by his words I couldn't calm my urge to attack him. Colleen’s father. the man that not only abandoned Edna but also her. Could I even call him her father?

"What do you want?” I asked as my hands clenched in anger. there was definitely something off about this man. "I f you are worried I'm going to hurt her, you can stop. she is my mate and I will love and cherish her." I stated.

"Tsk, Tsk, Tsk. As expected of an alpha of a pack as powerful as this. but you see, Alpha," he mocked. "That's the problem, I don't approve of this relationship and you're going to end it with her." he smiled making me look at him as though he had grown two heads. give up my mate? was the reason he had left them because he was unstable?

"Rejection . and you're going to take another as your Luna." he said. I stared at the man in disbelief. there was no other explanation. he had to be crazy.

"I refuse.” I stated firmly. Did he think I was an alpha for no reason? but I couldn't shake off the feeling that something was wrong with this man that stood Infront of. he looked weak, but the way he spoke made it seem as though he had something that I couldn't attack. not at the moment though.

"What if I tell you, that I can kill your mate in an instant, by just cutting a something she owns?."” he said silencing my thoughts.

"That's impossible.” I said darkly. "You wouldn't be able to unless you-" he cut me off.

"it seems the alpha is aware of what I might have done to attain such a feat." he chuckled. "Well, what can I do if the dear old alpha doesn't believe me? might as well prove it to you then." he said as he walked to a random teenager lying drunk on the ground. Pulling a strand of hair from the unaware teenager, he pulled out a pair of scissors and cut right in the middle. Walking up to the boy, his heartbeat began fading. What was happening? Why was this happening? soon after he started withering.

he couldn't have...

"It would hurt to know that your beloved Luna is next.” he said sickeningly.

"Why would you wish to hurt your own daughter?” I said as I glared toward him.

"My daughter? she’s nothing but my pawn to success and her pain is my pleasure.” he said, as his eyes darkened. "It seems I'm too lenient in negotiating, how about we put it to the test?" he said as he walked passed me up to the room upstairs in a speed. Running after him I pushed the door open only to see him running his hand through Colleen’s hair.

I took a step forwards as he pulled two stands of her hair as she slept soundless. "now Alpha, what will it be?" he asked me seriously, his expression darkening.

"I will do as you say.... just stay away from her." I said as he laughed at my decision And just simply vanished into thin air.

a deal with the devil. ha.... really and truly unexpected.

I walked towards the bed, painfully as I slipped under the covers as I pulled her closer to me. I let my fingers run on her arms, and through her hair. she was going to get hurt, but if it meant finding a way to get rid of the pest that decided to turn our lives upside down, I'd just hoped to the moon goddess she was strong enough to hold out.

**nd of flashback**

**Colleen’s POV**

I stared at Reese in disbelief. My father. how funny.

"do you understand why I did it?" he asked desperately as I nodded. "but why now, why tell Me now?" I asked him.

"I had to be sure that what I was dealing with was not going to hurt you in any way. and I know you may hate me for this, but I never felt as happy as I did making that decision, because not only would your life be in danger, but the life growing inside of you as well." he said making my heart thump at his words.

"But how are you so sure that we are safe now? how are you so sure that we won't get hurt if we return to your side?" I questioned him. "Like I had suspected there was something off about his power. and there was. just a couple hours later, the boy on which he had used an example woke up, alive and well.” he said making me sigh in relief. "but, whether within that time and now, if he’s found a way to strengthen his power, I'm not sure, but I am sure I can protect you. so Collen, come back to me?" he requested.

op

"please?" he pleaded.

"Reese, I don't know, I don't know if I can trust you." I said to him. Not that I trusted him before.

"Colleen, Please, let me protect you. let me love you. and let me work hard for the affection, trust, and forgiveness that I had lost. please..." he pleaded yet again.

"One chance, to be the mate I've wanted, the mate I want to fall in love with. One chance, to prove you care and will cherish me. One chance” I said. A huge grin slapped his face as he pulled me to his chest but froze as he felt my baby bump against his hard tummy.

He bent down to my tummy level, lifting my shirt up a bit. He looked up at me for permission and I nodded, granting. He let his warm hand rub my tummy gently.

"Hi baby." he whispered making laugh as my heart melted. Honestly, this is a moment I didn't think I'd get to see. "I'm your daddy, and yes I know, I was being a bad man to mommy, but no worries, I'll make it up to her, in the best way possible and I promise to be here with you guys forever.” he smiled. He was being silly. I ruffled his hair making him glare at me playfully.

He stood up and walked behind me, as I pulled down my shirt, his arms wrapped around My waist. I finally had my mate back.

"Mon amour, Mon vie. Belle, merveilleuse, éblouissante, magnifique et toute & moi. (my love, my life. Beautiful, amazing, stunning, gorgeous and all mine.)" He whispered in my ear. **(A/N, I'm not good at French. so I'm sorry if it's blegh)**

A shiver ran through my body as he placed a kiss on my neck. It felt beyond, what I thought I would feel. I finally had my mate. And he was all mine. No one else's, mine alone.

His hands rubbed my belly as he bent down continuing to kiss down my neck. I let my eyes close, at the pleasure I felt. He soon began sucking on the place he would mark me, as I let out a loud moan.

He turned me around as his lips captured mine. It was full blown passion, all though that's what I felt it was. He pulled me closer, but careful not to hurt the baby. My hands moved to the soft locks of hair on his beautiful head. His hands Then began to rub my sides as they slipped inside my shirt.

I smiled into the kiss, as I thought, would this what it would be been like If nothing happened? If I hadn't gotten rejected?

Feeling out of breath we pulled away from each other. Panting, might I add. He put his forehead on mine and looked into my eyes.

"I'm sorry I had to reject you, I'm sorry we had to go through all this. I'm sorry for all the pain I've caused. I'm sorry for all that you suffered for. I'm sorry for not explaining earlier, and I'm definitely sorry for putting you through all this pain.” he smiled. "if I could go back and change what had happened between us. If I could go back to that moment I rejected you. I would. But know I'd do anything if meant protecting you and our baby."

My heart skipped a beat as he said, “our baby’, it sounded... Nice. What was nicer was having him here, beside me.

I shook my head and pushed him away. "We've had a long day, so I think 1 should hit the hay. I'm tired right now. but.. I want to spend a bit of time here. Please?" I said to him.

he looked reluctant at my request. "I don't think that's a good idea Colleen, we just ran into a rogue.” he explained making. I put on a sad face making him groan and give in.

"How long do you wish to stay?" he asked me.

"Just a week or so, just to experience, quit my job for the fun of it, and visit some places.” I smiled giddily.

He looked at Me, * 5 days. Remember, I have a pack to run and a Luna to introduce.” he negotiated.

"Deal!"

My heart clenched happily. It was all a new feeling to me. Who knew I'd give him a chance? The one I hate so much? Or should I say, have fallen in love with, even if he had hurt me so much? I know I must me a sadist, but you can't blame me for loving the one made for me. Right? But a part of me hasn't forgiven him fully and can't trust him fully. But what's worse is, what happens with my father.

"what are we gonna do about my father?" I asked him as he tensed.

"I guess we'll have to deal with him on another way," he said, his eyebrows furrowing.

"We'll get through this. there has to be a way.” I said encouraging him as he smiled.

"I hope" he whispered as he placed a kiss on my head.

my mate. he was finally mine. and I was his.
