Chapter 4: A HUG AND A KISS UNDER THE MOONLIGHT
"What did you say?!" Faye screamed when she heard the news that Sarah just told her. "How... how could she be pregnant?! Didn't you take care of it? Didn't you give her that drink to prevent that?!" She was screaming right now.
Faye was the woman that was supposed to be the alpha's mate, but because of her low status, she couldn't be with the alpha. Not only that, she had been rejected by the alpha as well.
However, they still met here and there and she believed that she could win him over again. After all, they were destined mates for a reason.
"I have given the drink to her, but I don't know why she is still pregnant," Sarah said. She was also equally mortified when she learned about this.
For now, the alpha and the luna wanted to keep this pregnancy a secret, until they were ready to announce it, but of course, Sarah and Esther immediately went straight to Faye to inform her about this.
"No way... there is no way this would happen..." Faye was in denial.
"There is a possibility that she can still be pregnant after she drinks the potion, but..." Esther's words hung in the air and this made Faye become impatient.
"But, what?" She narrowed her eyes on her.
"But, there is another possibility too..."
"What is it?"
"Probably, she got pregnant after she drank the tea that could prevent the pregnancy."
"There is no way that could happen, the Alpha went to hunt the monsters the very next day of the ceremony."
"In that case..." Esther didn't continue her words and this let their imaginations run wild.
"It's okay," Zuri replied, because she was tired, while they kept pestering her to forgive them when she didn't feel like it.
However, they assumed Zuri's curt answer was a sign that she forgave them, thus they dropped their sad expressions and started to pester Zuri to take a walk in the garden.
"It will help with your indigestion. It will help with the baby too," Esther persuaded her.
Zuri was too tired to argue with them, more so she felt like she needed some fresh air, as she felt stifled to be inside her bedroom all day long.
She felt sad for her baby because of the unstable relationship between her and her mate. More so, the thought of Xaden being with another woman and thinking about his destined mate only suffocated her.
"Here, you need to wear this cloak, the wind outside must be pretty cold." Esther was being thoughtful. She draped the cloak on Zuri's shoulders, even though she knew that she was just injured there.
However, the pain was more bearable now and Zuri was in dire need to be away from this room that felt like a jail to her right now.
After that, they walked aimlessly in the garden, they watched the beautiful moon in the night sky, enjoyed the flowers and the sweet scent that the wind carried.
Sarah and Esther would talk to her from time to time, but it was easy for Zuri to tune them out, because most of the time, they just talked to one another.
Zuri was quite enjoying this walk, she would do it more often, but when she thought it was enough, she decided to go back to the bedroom.
Esther suggested they take a different route.
"You have not yet seen the magnolia flowers over there, Luna, let's go there." Esther tugged her hand, so did Sarah.
They finally walked in a different direction and found the beautiful magnolia flowers in full bloom, but it was not only the flowers that were blooming brilliantly right now, because an affair was blooming all the same.
Right before her eyes, Zuri watched in disbelief when she saw a woman talking to Xaden. She was being emotional and suddenly, she hugged and kissed him.
