Alpha’s Rue: His Shunned Luna (Athena Enchanted) novel Chapter 398

Petra doesn’t flinch, she simply blinks and smiles again. “Sure you are, there’s a baby right….” She points at my stomach over the table. “There.”

“No, I shake my head, pulling my tank top down some more. My idiot of a mate packed one of my old ones, it's a super-tight fit.

“Is it a secret?” She frowns. “I’m sorry.” Her head falls, and she starts sobbing. “I ruined it, didn't I?” She whispers. “I fucking ruined it. I ruin everything. Every fucking thing.” She rasps, banging her head against the concrete table.

Evelyn pulls me out of my seat. “Melissa!” She calls, rushing to restrain Petra, who resists, but Evelyn manages to keep her head off the table. She is stronger than she looks. Soon, the other nurse joins her, and they take Petra away, all while she's apologising to someone—not me, a man.

I’m staring in disbelief at how fast that went south. “Do you want to go inside?” She asks, her chest heaving.

I shake my head.

“Petra can spiral very fast.” She tells. Me. “But don’t be scared, she's a nice girl, she would never hurt you.”

I nod, she seemed nice. “What is she in for?”

Her lips part, but then she pauses. “I can’t discuss patient history with you.” She says, chewing on her lip. I nod, staring in the direction Petra was taken. “What is it?”

“Do I look Pregnant?” I frown, staring down at myself. Why was she so insistent and confident? Have I gotten fat with stress?

“No. No.” Evelyn instantly argues. “Don’t take offence, she was just saying anything she could think of. People do that sometimes, it's not because you look a certain way. Don’t worry about it.”

“Okay.” I nod, but it still bothers me. That’s not just something that people say anyhow. It makes me feel slightly insecure about my looks. I haven't seen a fucking mirror in weeks either.

“It’s almost inside time, let's take your evening walk and enjoy the scenery,” Evelyn says. “Luna Aeliana?”

“Yeah.” I nod, following her. My legs had started to swell the other day, so she suggested I walk around enough to avoid that.

As we are walking, Evelyn starts telling me about some TV show she enjoyed, but I can’t get my mind off what Petra said. I know I’m not pregnant, I took a test the very day I came in here, so what about me is giving pregnant?

The realisation hits me like a train. “Oh, goddess!” I gasp, stopping in my tracks.
