Elena

From the night I was bitten, everything in my life took a completely uncomfortable turn for me. I hadn't even shown up at the university for days and my studies had been suspended because of everything that happened to me because I just couldn't go back to the university with everything that was going on.

After I found out I was pregnant, I had to take a couple of hours in silence with the company of my now boyfriend, and future husband, to stop and understand that everything I thought was part of me, now was no longer. Everything was different. It was impressive what a bite of a mythological creature did to me. I would never have believed that something like this was going to happen to me. To top it off, I was dealing with the trauma of a damn crazy werewolf, who, on top of that, was my Alpha, kidnapped me just because I didn't want to go with him. That damn madman held me as if I were part of his property, and kept saying that I was his and wouldn't allow me to do anything unless I asked his permission. Was this how my life would be from now on? Because I didn't want this for myself.

Yet there was Drake to me, being able to comfort me with his mere presence in my life. And it was extremely crazy because I didn't know him at all. But I felt so safe by his side, I felt so accompanied. I knew that if this continued to be the case, I would end up loving him desperately in the future. And it was not difficult for me to feel attached to him. With Drake, we had a connection that we couldn't explain. Well, Drake said it was because I was his Luna, and I know it was, but for me, it was something very new and complex to assimilate. But I loved it.

Drake was in front of the bed, with me. We were eating.

According to the witch, we went to see yesterday, she said my pregnancy was a risky one. So Drake wanted me not to make much effort so that my pregnancy would not have risks of any kind. What worried me and I know he was also very worried, is that the next full moon would come sooner rather than later, and I was expecting a child and having to endure the pain of all my bones breaking into pieces to transform me into a werewolf, I didn't know if this would affect the baby. I think that nothing happened to all pregnant wolf women, I guess the body adapted to it, but my pregnancy was risky.

"What are you thinking about?" He wanted to know.

"In that the next full moon something may happen to me and the baby. Above all, the baby," I confessed, looking at him. I had barely been able to touch my food.

"I won't let anything happen to you, I've already promised you, Elena. And when you feel bad about this kind of thing, you better tell me, so we can both share the weight of things and help each other feel a little better."

"It's that you, Drake, can't do anything. Because when the full moon comes, my bones will break and you won't be able to help it." I felt very scared.

He looked at me with some pity and hugged me tightly. I did not hesitate to receive his gesture of affection, because it was something I needed from him. I loved being able to be by his side. It felt like we'd known each other for a long time. Perhaps, he was a love of mine in some past life.

"I'm so sorry Mike bit you that night. I wish I had come to the forest sooner to help you and take you home and prevent me from biting you."

"Can Alpha Luna be human?"

"Yes, it's rare, but yes, they can be. But they always end up converted, in one way or another. It's that this world is like that."

Mike came to mind. The memory of when he kidnapped me too.

"Mike will look and want to hurt me when he finds out I'm pregnant with you. He won't let us be happy, Drake."

"Mike won't hurt you because I won't let him. You are safe in this house. He won't be idiotic enough to break into the house without my permission, or else a curse will fall on him for breaking a rule of the supernatural world, understand? So, here you will be safe, Luna."

"But I just don't want to be here all the time, Drake. I have a life out there, I have family in another city that I want to be able to visit, I have my studies, I have my job, which I have already missed for days with the excuse that I am sick, and the day after tomorrow my sick days are over."

"Maybe you should drop all that," he suggested.

"Leave all that?"

"It's just that it's the best option I can think of."

I got upset with him.

"You can't just give that idea as if it's that easy. I like, you know? I also dress. I also have to use the money I earn in my work to be able to buy things like toiletries and even to give me my tastes from time to time."

"But you don't need it. I'm a billionaire, head of a company here in town, so you don't need to work because I can give you anything you want."

Multimillionaire?

I was surprised by it. But, of course, it's not like we've had so much time to talk about our stuff. I never asked him what he works on. Everything went so fast that, one night I slept with him, barely knowing him, and the next morning I had to take a pregnancy test that came back positive because a witch gave me the prediction that I was expecting a child from Drake.

"Are you a billionaire?"

No wonder this house is so big and so beautiful.

"Yes, I am a billionaire."

"Well... but... I'm not interested in your money, Drake. I want to be able to work, see my family, study... I have a life I don't want to give up just because I've been bitten by a werewolf and now I'm a werewolf. Do you understand?"

"The thing is, it's not just because you've been bitten, love, it's because you're in danger. And I'm not saying it, it's being said by the same witch we went to see yesterday. I can't take any chances."

"And what do you expect me to do, Drake? Do you intend for me to stay locked up here forever?"

"No, I say that..."

I refused before he continued to say anything else.

"No, Drake. I know we are now a couple, I know I am your Luna, I know I am in danger, I know I am pregnant and that there is a curse that pursues us, but I do not want to leave my life from before. And that's not up for discussion."

Drake didn't seem to agree at all with what I said, but he knew he was trying to understand me.

"Please don't insist. This is not up for discussion, Drake," I pleaded.

He ended up letting out a sigh.

"Okay. You win. But I don't plan to leave you alone. You will be accompanied all the time by my pack, okay? I will introduce it to you tomorrow morning and we will initiate you as part of us at night."
