Chapter 9

I heard some footsteps when I gain back my consciousness. But I am so tired that I don't want to open my eyes. Every part of my body screams that you need to sleep. But something dazzled my eyes, I tried to turn to side to avoid this shining light, so that I could sleep better in a comfortable way. I opened my eyes finding an unfamiliar figure. My vision was blurry, and it took me a few moments to focus on. I close my eyes and count to ten before slowly opening it again. And I hear an unfamiliar voice whisper by my side. "You wake up? The light may be too bright for you. Let me just pull it down for you." The room became darker, and I felt someone touch my hands. When I felt the room became darker. I opened my eyes, and everything slowly hit me. My consciousness came to me, and o realized that I’d run away from my pack, brother and mate. I looked around the room which was unfamiliar. I saw the machine that monitors my heartbeat along with IV machine and I follow it to see that it's being injected. I look back at the woman who sitting in front of me. Her brown eyes were warm and welcoming. "Hello sweetheart." She says softly walking closer to me. I don't know what to say just staring at her. Panic raising to my chest. I bet she could see my chest jumping, I was never good at meeting new people. But she knew what I was feeling at this moment, she stopped walking to towards me, instead stood where she was and sent me a comfortable smile. "Don't be afraid. I'm not going to hurt you. You're safe I promise." Her voice is gently making me believe what she said. I look around again, and say "Where am I?" "You're at Shadow pack territory." I knew this pack which is one of the best packs in the world. In this pack, they are so strong together, supportive, and unbeatable that's rogue never step a foot in their territory. And I started to panic for staying in Shadow pack. They must kick me out of here. "Relax honey. Don’t be afraid. Calm down please. Stress and panic are not good for your ba-" She didn’t finish her words. The door opened and three other unfamiliar faces came in. "Hey, you wake up!" one of them said. I looked closely at him. He is so tall and handsome as hell, I bet many girls may be obsessed to him. "Why you here? " The taller guy said. "Will you two be quite for a moment? " The only female said, rolling her eyes. I looked this gorgeous female who have a long ponytail and in a nice dress. Her skin was fair and flawless. She looked at me, and I could feel her soft and I knew that she tried to comfort me as she offered a small smile. She stands at the foot of the bed. "Hi. My name is Flora. We will not hurt you, don’t be afraid." Her sound just like her sweet face, soft and gently. "Who are you?" A male cut her off and asked. Silence. Flora groaned and elbowed him. "OH, HONEY!" "You can't ask her directly!" I admit that she knows female well. "I must know. I'm the alpha and I am responsible for the pack to know who she the uninvited guest are." "Don’t be rude Wayne!" She elbows him again. "Flora stop it! I'm not being rude. It is a necessary name, isn’t it Randy?" he turns around to ask the other guy. "I hold my peace, bro." Randy shrugs. "Come on! I know you wanna ask this too" "You are right. Who are you?" Randy asks. "Randy!" Flora screams, sending him an icy glare. "Any problems? We need to know who she is and what she is doing here!" "No, it's okay. I'm sorry for that. I didn’t know I was in your territory. I promise I will leave... but please give some days for resting. " I fold my hands giving him a request gesture. " You can stay as long as you want." Flora says. "She can?" Wayne and Randy ask together. "Yes, because why not!" "I-I just didn't know where I was heading-" "What’s wrong with you?" Wayne asks " I just run away from my pack." I don’t know how to explant it, I avoid his gaze, looking at my fingers. I guessed that I needed to share my sufferance to reduce my stress. All waiting for me to continue, explain why I run. "Stone was my pack. But I felt that it was not where I belong... I just felt unwanted, and I was rejected by my mate. All there left to do was run." "And your family?" Flora asks softly. "What family?" I said with a scornful smile. For few seconds no one spoke, and they watched me with a sympathy gaze. "Apologized for my mate rudeness sweetheart. I promise that they are friendlier than you see." Flora decides to break the ice. "Welcome to my pack. I'm the alpha of Shadow pack. You can stay her as long as you want." Wayne says friendly. "He is right and I'm the beta." Randy introduces himself. "Don’t pretend that, he is a fool!" Flora teases him. "I'm no threat. I promise. I haven't even shifted yet." I speak very lowly, embarrassed. "Yeah, I know, and I am sorry for my hospitality. I promise that you are welcome to stay here as long as you want." Wayne turns to me. Flora looked up at her husband, she was so happy for what he said and wrapped her arms around his waist. They are meant for each other. "I know you are not lying." He looks back at me, "Like you said, you are no threat and Shadow is safe enough for you and the baby to stay here." What did he say? Baby...seriously? I know this word, but I don’t know what he meant. I glanced at his beautiful wife then back at him with wide eyes. "Excuse me? Did you just say baby?" "Oh my God. She doesn't know!" Flora mutters and she glances at the doctor. The doctor starts walking towards me and stops beside me. I just looked at her waiting for her to speak. Waiting for an answer. "I'm doctor Rita. I am professional, trust me. You are pregnant and you are high dehydrated." More words were coming out of her mouth, but I couldn't pay attention to it. "B-but is it possible that the test was wrong?" "No, darling. Congratulations, you are going to be a mother." God bless me! She continued to speak but I couldn't pay attention anymore because my head fell back to the pillow and darkness fell again.
