A Cheater
Luna Ariel’s POINT OF VIEW again
When I open my eyes again, Fiona is sitting on a chair next to my bed.
She had her eyes closed, probably sat there for a while and finally fell asleep.
“Fiona, how are you? Has your wolf cured you completely?” I whisper to her. She slowly lifts her head and rubs her sleepy eyes with a smile.
“Yes, completely healed. Now we have to figure out how to patch you up. We need a werewolf doctor. The humans might cause a stir if they examine the baby. These werewolf pups are bigger, and with your royal genes, the doctors will think you’re an alien”.
We laugh at her remark.
“Are my injuries serious? I have a terrible headache, but it is subsiding. And my shoulders seem to be dislocated,” I answer. Looking at my hand, I noticed that the IV drip was already removed.
A nurse must have examined me while I was asleep. “A severe concussion. And some minor injuries that your wolf may have helped you with. But they’re worried about the cub. And so is the King.” That last sentence frightens me. If the King speaks to the Council, everyone will know, whereas Gorgio and I wanted to rejoice at this news.
This is our first pup and we wanted to keep the news to ourselves for a long time. “We have to get out of here or find a werewolf doctor to check on you. I prefer the latter option, we need to be sure that the pup is okay before we leave. We can’t take any risks.”
I agree completely, nothing must happen to my little one. I rub my stomach and am startled. There was a slight swelling, which meant it was growing well. Now I have to keep it healthy and safe.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
“Fiona, please. Find a suitable doctor. The pup is already visible. I need to know if it is all right,” I urge. My new friend gets up immediately and goes to the door. With her werewolf instincts, she will soon find out if there is a werewolf around.
Half an hour later she enters my room overjoyed.
“I found one. She is a junior doctor but is authorized to examine you and report back to the head doctor. She will be here in ten minutes after she is done with another patient”.
Fiona helps me out of bed. I am wearing a hospital gown, the one I wore when I was brought in is torn and stained. We go to the bathroom and she helps me into the shower as my shoulders are bruised and I can’t do much.
When we were back in the room, I put the white hospital gown back on.
“Fiona, why don’t you go and buy some clothes for us in a clothing store nearby? We can’t go like this, we’ll stick out.” I move over to my bag on the table and take out some cash. She takes it and disappears out the door.
As I lay back on the bed, a young woman entered. I cannot sense if she is a werewolf, but her appearance tells it all. Her flawless skin and the sparkle in her eyes are typical of my kind.
“Luna Ariel?”
I nod. She approaches me with her hand outstretched and a smile on her face.
“I am Erena. My pack is Crescent Moon and I am here on an internship. In a few more months, I will graduate and finally be able to go back home and work in the hospital there.” I take her hand, it feels warm and my gut tells me she is trustworthy.
“I heard about your double mating with two Alphas. It’s all over the werewolf news. There is a lot of speculation in our Facebook groups because it is an exceptional case. We have never heard of a fully mated wolf having another mate. She usually meets them at the same time”. As she talks, she takes my blood pressure.
“To be honest, most of the comments are sympathetic to Alpha Gorgio. Not just because he is so well-looking, but because of the way he always treats you! And when he speaks out your name, it is as if he worships it. We all want a partner like that Alpha. He must make you very happy, Luna”.
I smile, Gorgio is really great, I have seen the furtive glances of the she-wolves at him. But he never pays them any attention.
A few times journalists have pointed out to him that he is the crush of many, but he always insists that he is already taken and belongs to me only”.
“But there are some who feel sorry for Alpha Zane. He is inadvertently involved, Selene decided to bring him between you. He also has a right to you, you will have to meet his needs.”
She jabs a needle into my arm just as I am about to answer her. When she catches my questioning look, she smiles sweetly. “Don’t worry, it’s just a general check-up to make sure you’re in good health,” she tells me.
“But I also have to fill in the father’s name on the form, Luna.”
Erena slides onto a chair in the corner and pulls a form out of her shirt pocket. She glances at me significantly, waiting for an answer.
“One hundred percent Gorgio Vasconcellos, my true mate”. I looked her straight in the eye. She nods and continues filling in the paper.
“Dr Erena, have you been following the discussions on social media? What do you think of the situation, what is your opinion?”
She looks up hesitantly. “I agree that Alpha Zane should not be a victim, because he and his pack need a Luna as well. And if Selene has assigned you, I’m sure that’s her intention. But other circumstances have influenced my opinion.”
“Other circumstances? What are they? And what is your opinion now?” I ask curiously. I can feel the change in her aura, there must be some important fact that has made her change her mind.
“Well, Luna. I think you should concentrate on Alpha Gorgio and your cub. Alpha Zane has other things to deal with that have nothing to do with you”.
“Erena, you know more about this. Believe me, Gorgio is all I want, my mating with Zane is nothing. Just tell me what’s going on.”
“Well, someone in the group posted that Alpha Zane was in Human Town a few weeks ago. He was there with his yacht, living it up with a girl. He slept with the woman before rushing back to Midnight Moon. Once a cheater, always a cheater”..
