Chapter 2
- BRIELLE
- The smell of drugs came streaming into my nose. I felt irritated by it, swaying my head to drive the scent away.
- Due to the irritation, my eyes came opened instantly.
- I found myself staring at a different ceiling unlike the one I was familiar with.
- "Where am I? " I uttered, still looking.
- A beeping sound got my attention. I looked to the side and found myself being attached to a drip with a life support.
- "This is the hospital," I realized, forcing myself to sit up.
- That's when the door came opened and a doctor stepped in.
- "Oh, Luna, you're awake. How are you feeling?" She asked, drawing closer to me.
- "Doctor Nicole," I called, recognizing her.
- She's the pack mansion's doctor.
- She was the one who texted and revealed my pregnancy to me.
- She placed her back hand against my forehead and suggested that I lay down for a little while to rest.
- "You had a hard fall and lost some blood. But you'll be fine. Just rest," She suggested, slowly laying me down.
- When I heard what she said about me bleeding, my mind immediately went to the baby in my womb.
- Worried, I asked, "What about my baby? Is it okay?"
- Doctor Nicole stared at me with no words. Her face expression was beginning to frighten me, as she sighed out and said, " I'm sorry Luna, but we couldn't save your baby."
- "What?" My eyes came large at her statement.
- She explained to me how the fall caused a miscarriage, killing the baby instantly.
- "I know it's disheartening for you, Luna. Even your husband was shattered to hear the news. He had to leave. I am so sorry," She apologized to me, patting my shoulder.
- When she mentioned Argon's name, I flashed back to the scene, recalling his stare when I laid at the bottom of the stairs, bleeding.
- The look in his eyes... That smile...
- I held the side of the bed, slowly sliding my hand to my stomach to feel the spot were I always felt that heaviness.
- That was my baby.
- But now, it's no more there.
- It's gone.
- My lips began to quiver with my eyes welling with tears. Unable to control myself, I began to cry.
- The doctor tried to calm me down, embracing me.
- I managed to be calm a bit, listening to the doctor, who suggested I take some rest for the next two hours before I'm discharged.
- According to her, Argon didn't want me staying there for long. He wanted me home so he could pacify me.
- "You need each other's love to pass through this hard time. Please rest."
- She soon left me alone to wallow in my pains.
- I thought about Argon and his father, the late Alpha.
- Despite being a wolfless orphan, that old man took me in and made me his son's Luna.
- He made me promise him on his dying bed that I wouldn't leave his son but make him happy always.
- Now in beginning to regret ever agreeing to that promise.
- I regret it.
- After resting at the hospital, I was brought back home by one of Argon's guards in one of his car.
- In my weak state, I made my way into the mansion to meet Argon and Estelle waiting for me.
- They were both at the entrance, welcoming me back with mockery in their voices, asking about the baby and what the doctor had said.
- When I said nothing but tried to ignore them, Estelle came out laughing, talking about my dead baby.
- "That bastard got what it deserved," She laughed, clapping her hands.
- There was a struck in my chest when she insulted my dead child. I wanted to say something back but couldn't.
- I was just too weak.
- "Take this," Argon said, tossing a paper at my face.
- "That's the divorce papers."
- Shivers ran down my spine when I heard Argon. I lifted my eyes to look at his face as he told me to sign it before twenty four hours.
- "My lawyer will be back for it once your time is up. You better not delay, " He warned me, grabbing Estelle close as they made their way up the stairs, getting cozy.
- I held the papers in my hands, staring at it in shock.
- I opened each pages and saw that Argon had already signed on it. All that was left was mine to finalise the divorce.
- Heartbroken by this, I ran to my room and locked myself up. I fell to the ground, crying bitterly.
- "After everything goddess, this is what I get?" I sniveled, letting out my tears.
- With what I've faced in Argon's hands, I decided to please him and leave for good.
- I took a pen and was set to sign on the pages when something happened.
- "Don't sign those papers, Brielle," A strong maidenlike voice ordered, planting fear in my heart.
- I got to my feet at once, looking for who had spoken.
- "Who is there?" I questioned, shaking in my spot while turning around.
- The moment my gaze fell on the mirror, I met two green eyes darting back at me.
- I screamed out in fear, stepping away, only to feel something inside of my body, rumbling intensely.
- I fell on my knees feeling the pain inside of me. It was as if my stomach was about to explode.
- Just then, a green wavy light came out of me, forming into something mesmerizing before my eyes.
- I stared at this until I was left in total shock.
- What I saw left me bewildered.
- There was a mighty black wolf with green eyes, looking directly at me.
- It gave a smirk and said in its feminine tone, "Don't sign it, Brielle. That's not the way of the IVYS."
- Its eyes glowed, as it grinned at me.
- I was shaken by the presence of this mighty wolf in my room.
- The aura coming from it was terrifying.
- Even the eyes was enough to leave you in horror.
- But a wolf with green eyes?
