Drake

I knew my relationship with Elena might be moving too fast, but I guess it was part of this connection we had. And, with her, with my Luna, everything felt easy and natural. It's like we've known each other a long time ago.

I decided to take her to meet the witch who read me my prophecy, to tell us something more about our future. He couldn't miss this opportunity. But I did not expect what the witch told us as soon as she saw Elena enter the door of her house.

"You're pregnant," the witch announced, looking at Elena deeply and worryingly.

I saw the terror in that woman's eyes, and I immediately felt the worry. I knew something wasn't right.

Elena looked at me without understanding anything.

"Drake, she's your Luna, right? You have found it just as I dictated the prophecy to you. But there is something I have not told you and you have to know. I didn't think you'd find her so soon, I thought we'd have more time to talk about them."

"Drake, I'm starting to freak out," Elena said, a little low.

I looked at Keyla, the witch, furrowing her eyebrows.

We sat in front of her.

"What haven't you told me, Keyla?" I asked bluntly.

"It's better that your Luna doesn't hear it."

"I want to listen," my Luna refused.

Keyla didn't agree with Elena's idea, but she didn't complain either.

"She's pregnant, Drake," he said again. "I saw it that time you came."

Pregnant? Was my Luna pregnant with me?

That could not be possible. Just last night we had our first meeting.

But... That had nothing to do with it. And, besides, we don't take care of ourselves. It would not be uncommon for it to happen. However, it is not something I expected to come.

"Just yesterday we had our first meeting, Keyla."

"But a baby is forming in her womb. And, I'm sorry to tell you this, because you may not want to be parents, but you won't be able to end this pregnancy. The prophecy of both says that they will have to have this baby. I am obliged to tell you that your love story will have too many obstacles. You were meant to know each other, but that doesn't mean you're going to end up together. There is a curse between you, there is something that will want to separate you."

"My God" Elena was scared. I heard his heartbeat racing.

"They broke a very important rule, which is to start a sexual and romantic relationship without the permission of the alpha who bit her that night, therefore, nature will make them pay for breaking the rule. I have to warn you that this pregnancy will bring chaos. It will be a complicated pregnancy."

"It can cost you your life, Elena," he warned seriously. "My God, there is so much tragedy within this beautiful love."

At this point, I was scared enough to think positively. The witch had said things that had happened, so I knew she wasn't lying to us. I looked at my Luna, worried, terrified that something would happen to her. We both met recently, but that had nothing to do with it, because the enormous connection we brought, did not compare to anything.

"I'm pregnant," Elena assimilated, taking her womb.

"You dreamed it in the night," the witch guessed.

My Luna affirmed.

If this was true, then my Luna and I would soon be parents. My life had just taken a very drastic turn. And I hadn't even introduced my pack to Elena. I hadn't even started her as part of my pack.

She knew well that things would not be easy for her and me.

"There's something else: the prophecy says it will be in your hands to save Elena's life, Drake. I don't know how you'll have to find out. But you must protect your Luna if you don't want to lose it forever. If she dies, a strong curse will fall on your entire pack and the next descendants who come from your family, Drake."

We left that house terrified. But if one thing was clear to me, it was that I would do everything possible to protect my Luna.

We returned home with a pregnancy test. It was too early for Elena to do it, but the witch assured her that the positive would appear in the test.

When Elena took the test, I was waiting for the result, with her by my side. It was a hard time for both of us, but I wanted to support her and make her feel safe. I fell madly in love with her, I couldn't fail her.

Elena took the test and watched the result.

It was positive.

So, it was true. My Luna was expecting a child of mine.

I saw how affected Elena looked.

"My life and the baby's life are at risk." Elena began to cry, holding onto her belly.

I caressed her belly and kissed her lips, then hugged and comforted her.

"Nothing bad will happen to you or the baby," I said.

"But the witch..."

"I will protect you with my life, Luna" I caressed her belly again and she took me by the hand, pressing so that I did not stop doing it. That's where my son was growing up.

"What shall we do now that this has happened, Drake?"

"I will introduce you to the pack, you will be part of mine. We will initiate you as part of us and I want you and me..." I stopped before saying what I was thinking. She didn't know if it was a good idea to say it now, she didn't want to scare her away. Too fast it was all happening.

"What?" he asked, waiting.

I took a chance.

"I want you to marry me, Elena."

"Marry you?" widened his eyes.

I knelt before her, holding her hand.

"Yes, Elena please marry me. Let's do it today or tomorrow. But let's get married."

"I don't think it's a good idea. Mike won't allow it. He won't let me."

"Mike is dead," I remembered.

"No, I know he's not dead. I know it didn't burn down in that house. I can feel it. He's still alive."

"All the more reason: let me be your husband, who protects you, my Luna."

Elena hesitated but ended up showing a faint smile.

"I agree."
