Full Moon Curse (by Dream) novel Chapter 318

Chapter 318

Walker and I walk over to Cole’s house, wanting to discuss this witch situation. See if she can tell me anything more about it.

We walk inside and head to Hazel’s room that has all her books and potions. The doors cracked open, and I freeze. “We have to tell someone. She hasn’t eaten in days. The witch is going to kill the baby.” Aspen’s voice leaks out of the room; my whole-body feels numb… Baby?

I feel Walker’s hand squeeze my shoulder, but I barely notice it. Baby?

“We’re keeping it secret for a reason, Aspen. If the witch finds out…” She doesn’t need to finish.

My mind goes back to the other day when Amy freaked out. Was this why? Is that when she realized she was pregnant? Is that why she needed to see Hazel so bad.

Amy’s pregnant… How do I even handle this situation right now?

“I realize this, but it doesn’t change the facts.” Aspen hisses, and Hazel sighs, “As much as I hate to say it… It might be for the best, Aspen.”

I lean back against the wall, sliding down to the floor, not able to think straight.

I didn’t get to see my kids until they were nearly six years old, and now I might never get to meet this one.

Anger bubbles in my chest. I don’t know if it’s aimed at Amy or the situation, all I know is I’m pissed. She didn’t tell me… But she couldn’t tell me… Or she just didn’t want to tell me.

I know this situation is difficult, but it’s also something I deserve to know.

“How can you say that?” Aspen asked dumbfounded, and I’d have to agree. Hazel sighs, “I can’t do anything to protect the baby! I can’t even figure out how to protect Amy! The baby just complicates things, and I have no idea what it would mean for Amy… For us, if the witch finds out about it! She won’t be able to keep it a secret for much longer.” Hazel shouts.

I look up at Walker. His face ashen and depleted, and he walks over to the door, opening it slowly. I hear them both gasp,

“Walker?” Hazel says breathlessly. “This isn’t either of your decisions to make. And until Liam and Amy figure out what they want to do we need to continue to figure out a way to get Amy to eat.” Walker tells them calmly as I stare at the wall.

I couldn’t focus on just being a mate right now, even if I wanted to. Neither of us can put our full focus into it. This is what I can do. I can help. I can figure this out, so just maybe, once this is all over, I can focus on him. I can decide if I want to be with him, because right now…

Right now, I can’t. He can’t. Right now, I can focus on the family that’s about to be ripped to pieces. The one you always told me was so important. I may not have been around to grow the bond that all of you guys did back then, but I grew up in it.

I love this family, and even if you think I shouldn’t, I’m going to help protect it.” She finishes, and I look up at Walker, his defeated look even worse than before.

He just wants her safe. He’d probably be happier if she was still with Heather in her pack. But that’s not the reality we’re in.

We’re not in a reality where we can have what we want. Where our kids can be safe, and Amy can freely tell me she’s pregnant with our child.

This is probably killing her as much as it is me, and she’s dealing with so much more.
