My doom
“Just make sure she registers for her antenatal care, and make sure she gets a lot of rest.” The doctor said before leaving their presence.
Alex wanted to question the girl, but he saw her scared expression and decided to just leave her alone. They transferred Ellie to a private room based on his orders.
He was about to enter the room to see her when Jasmine stopped him by standing in front of the door, she said. “Excuse me, sir; I don’t think I can allow you to go in.” Noticing how the man had furrowed his brows at her, she cleared her throat before talking again. “I meant that; I don’t think Ellie would be comfortable seeing you.”
He stopped in his tracks and smirked. “I see. If I may ask, do you perhaps know where she got the pills from?” He asked, looking at the girl, who froze in shock. His informant had already told him where she got the abortion pills from.
“I don’t know, sir.” Jasmine lied with her head bowed a bit. She knew he might try to arrest her if he found out, so the only thing she could think of was to lie.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
“You should know that lying is very bad. Ms. Jasmine, right?” He asked, taking note of her name. “Now move; I will only see her briefly.” He said as he watched the lady move away, which he also entered and closed the door after him.
He entered and saw that she was still sleeping on the bed. His wolf was screaming as soon as she saw her. His wolf wanted to hold her, but he stopped himself from touching her. He sat down on a chair next to her bed and watched her sleep.
After some minutes, her eyes flustered. She opened her eyes slowly and tried to get up, but she was so weak, and her throat hurt because it was dry.
She felt like something was with her. She looked beside her, only to see a pair of blue eyes staring at her intently. “I see you’re awake. Should I get you water?” He said, smiling at her.
She thought she was dreaming. She immediately got up from her bed, despite the pain she felt in her hand due to the drip. It was only when she rubbed her eyes and still found the eyes staring at her that she realized it wasn’t a dream.
“What are you doing here? How did you get here?” She threw him a series of questions. She was hoping to see Jasmine with her, but she saw the man she had been trying to avoid for a while, which surprised her and made her shiver in fear.
“I also don’t understand how I got here, but I guess the father must surely come, isn’t it?” He said, smiling at her.
“What nonsense are you saying?” She asked before trying to stand up to call for help. She didn’t want to even look at his face, not to talk of being in the same room with him.
“You still don’t understand? I can’t believe you’re such a fool. Do you think you can abort the baby without my consent?” He said, shaking his head in pity. But the girl in front of him was struggling with the drip.
He moved toward her to stop her from removing the drip. But when he saw that she was going to hurt herself, he pounced on her at once, holding her hands tightly on the bed, but not too tight because he didn’t want to hurt her. He looked into her eyes, his breath fanning her face, and his face was so close to hers that their lips were almost touching, even his wolf screaming in happiness.
“Even if you call all the doctors in the world to remove this baby, I’m sorry, darling, you’re just wasting your time and putting yourself in more pain, so I suggest you just do nothing from now on.” He smirked, looking at the lady, who had also closed her eyes in fear. He put his nose around her neck and sniffed her neck before whispering into her right ear. “I prefer you go natural.”
“Let go of me, please.” Ellie begged, struggling under him, but he was just too strong. Her hands were already feeling numb, and she did not want the man around her at all.
He let go of her, seeing a teardrop in her eyes. He did not want her to cry; he stood up and straightened his shirt before leaving. “I will see you soon.” He said with a smile, before walking out of the room.
After he left, Jasmine opened the door to the room and entered. She ran towards Ellie. “Hey, what’s wrong? Why are you crying? Did he hurt you?” She asked, getting worried. She quickly got in as soon as she saw him leave. She knew he might have hurt her, especially with the smile he gave her before leaving.
“Ho. How can I still be pregnant, Jasmine? How is that possible?” She asked in tears.
Calm down, Ellie. She said, not knowing what to say to her. She hugged her, while Ellie just kept crying.
The next day was the weekend. She got discharged after she caused a scene in the hospital about going home. Jasmine also stayed with her and kept her company. She didn’t leave her sight because she was scared she might do something to herself or try to use the abortive pills again. She knew Ellie was sad about the baby, but mostly because of Sam.

“Wait, you’re telling me now that she’s pregnant?” Callum asked, withdrawing the cue from the snooker table. They were playing snooker at Alex’s house. “How’s that possible?” He asked again. He knew that humans take a very long time getting pregnant for werewolves, and this lady was pregnant with just a one-night stand.
“I also don’t know; I was planning to reject her, and now this happened.” Alex replied. “I just feel like I’m being punished for a sin or something.” He said with a weak smile.
“Then it must be a very bad sin.” Callum burst out into laughter, but stopped when he saw that Alex didn’t find him funny. He cleared his throat before asking. “So, what are you going to do?”
Alex looked at him before sighing, “I guess I will protect her; after all, she’s my doom.” He said. He knew what her presence in his life could cause-her being a human and him being a wolf, and not an ordinary wolf, an alpha to the biggest pack. He knew his family would never accept it, and neither would his pack, but he was ready to stop thinking about those things.
She is his mate and the mother of his child, and he would do anything to protect her, even if it meant disobeying the pack.
