The packs outcast Luna (Kaia and Theo) novel Chapter 111

Chapter 111

–Justine–

The news of Kaia’s pregnancy hit me like a truck.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy for her.

But I wish the news were mine to give too.

Zane and I had been trying for a child since we got married.

And now that Kaia is pregnant, it’s a reminder that I failed to give the pack a beta heir.

I don’t want Zane to be a laughingstock, and I’m worried the rumours about me will grow louder now.

Not to mention our family members’ growing distaste for me.

I spent the rest of the evening mindlessly at the party hall.

I tried to fake a smile and not worry Zane, but I couldn’t hide it for long.

When we returned to our room after the party, I got carried away and forgot Zane was with me.

He saw through me and asked. I tried to lie to him, but I blurted out the truth.

I saw how crushed he was when I called myself barren; he hated that I did, but I couldn’t help it.

I wasn’t lying; everyone had told me I was barren for not birthing an heir after four years, and I think it shook me deeply when Kaia got pregnant.

I was reminded of that moment, and it became, somehow, a bitter truth I had to deal with.

I was vulnerable, and in my desperation, I asked Zane to go to the fertility clinic with me.

He wanted to think it over, but I know he loved me and would do anything to make me happy.

He made me go to sleep. My heart was heavy, but I did as told.

When I woke up, Zane wasn’t in bed with me; I figured he had work to do.

I washed up and got ready for the day.

I was heading out of my room when I got a call from a number I dreaded the most.

“Hello, Mom?” I answered the phone, and my heart sank.

“When are you giving me the good news, Justine?” she asked. I could hear the anger in her voice. “I heard the future luna is already pregnant. What is your excuse?”

My heart sank at her words. I couldn’t blame her, but it was hurtful the way she said it.

“Im doing everything I can, Mom,” I muttered, trying to hold my tears.

“Well, you’re not doing enough!” she screamed at the top of her voice, and I flinched. “Do you realise my son might lose the beta line if you don’t give him an heir soon?”

I breathed, trying to calm myself.

Chapter 111

“We’ve been trying to get pregnant, but the goddess has not blessed us yet. There is nothing I can do about it, Mom,” I said,

and she scoffed.

“Of course, there is something you can do for my son,” she said, and I immediately knew where she was heading. “Just reject my son and let him take a chosen mate who can give him an heir, and I know the right person for this”

My heart broke when she said this. I always knew that Zane’s mother, Angela Westmore, never liked me.

I figured it was because of my background, but I didn’t tell Zane.

Ever since Zane and I got together, she has been pestering me and making my life hell.

I was afraid that if I told Zane, the relationship they have would be severed because of me, and I don’t want that.

Zane loves his mother; she’s the only parent he has left. I don’t want to come between them.

Angela doesn’t like me for her son despite knowing that I was his fated, she still looked down on me and hated me with passion.

But in front of Zane, she was the most affectionate mother-in-law anyone could ask for.

The moment Zane turned his back, she would become a total bitch and taunt me endlessly.

“Why don’t you tell Zane and see what he has to say about this?” I blurted out that I was tired of her insults.

“Are you threatening me?” she asked, scoffing. “Do you really think Zane will take your side over mine?”

I don’t want to put Zane in a dilemma, but if it comes to that, I will accept whatever choices he makes.

“Only Zane can decide that, Angela”, I mouthed, calling her by her name for the first time in a while.

When I met her, I tried to suck up to her, hoping I’d melt her cold heart if I tried to cosy up to her.

Turns out, she would never accept me, no matter how hard I tried.

Maybe I should learn from Kaia and stop forcing relationships that don’t want to be formed.

“I’m doing this for your own good, Justine,” Angela said, and I shook my head, who is she fooling? She doesn’t like me enough to do anything for my good. “I suggested you do whatever you must to give the pack a beta heir; it’s for the best”

Before I could say anything, Angela ended the call, leaving me confused.

I wonder what she was talking about. I’m sure it’s another one of her tricks to scare me.

I brushed the call aside and went to have breakfast.

Luckily, when I got to the kitchen, I found Kaia stuffing her face.

“Have the pregnancy cravings started already?” I asked as I walked into the kitchen.

Kaia got startled and turned to look at me sharply as if I had caught her doing something illegal.

“I don’t know, Justine,” Kaia said while peeling a boiled egg. “I just feel like eating a lot of eggs. Do you want some too?” She offered me one, and I took it.

My stomach grumbled, and I realised I had forgotten to eat because of Angela’s call.

I was lost in thought, thinking about what Angela said, that I didn’t realise Kaia was staring at me.

“What is the matter, Justine?” she asked, and I jolted out of my trance. “You don’t look so good.”

I was afraid that if I told her the truth, she might tell the alpha, and if the alpha knew, Zane would certainly hear it from

him.

I will deal with whatever Angela brings my way, but I won’t interfere in the relationship between her and her son.

I smiled, trying to put on a good look.

“It’s nothing, Kaia”, I lied. “I think I had too much to eat last night, my stomach is a little upset. I came here to make warm lemon juice to ease the discomfort”

Kaia side-eyed me. She wasn’t convinced, but she didn’t press further.

I looked away, avoiding her gaze, afraid that she might see how swollen my face was and realised I had been crying.

I didn’t look too good, and I know it myself.

“Do you know embroidery?” Kaia asked, and I raised my head. “I want to make a piece for the baby, something cute. Would you please help me out?”

“Hey, you don’t have to beg me to help you. What am I here for?” I said, and we laughed. “Come on, I will go get the material, wait for me at the lounge”

I quickly made breakfast for myself and a little something for Kaia in case she got hungry while we worked on the embroidery pieces.

After eating, we settled at the Alpha Wing’s lounge, and I helped Kaia embroider something.

“Isn’t it too early though?” I asked after a while. “I mean, your baby is still about seven months away; you can still knit something better later if you want”

“I know, darling”, Kaia said, snacking on chips. “I just needed an excuse to spend some time with you. Theo had gone out early, and I didn’t want to be alone, so I thought, why not spend it with you instead?”

I shook my head. She looked adorable, confessing, I couldn’t get mad at her.

“Why not do something fun instead?” I suggested, and Kaia’s eyes lit up. “We can play card games, the winner gets treated to the club”

“What?” Kaia exclaimed. “Ive never been to the club and I don’t think Theo would let us go either”

“Why not?” I frowned because I knew that before Zane and I met, he and Theo clubbed a lot.

Recently we’ve been cooking up work, so they haven’t done much outing, but I’m sure if we asked them, they could take us.

“I don’t know, I haven’t asked Theo before, and now,” she looked at her flat belly and sighed. “Nevermind, let’s play the game, I’m going to beat your arse, Justine”, she threatened, laughing.

“Let’s see how good you are at card games because everyone says I’m a master of the game.” I boasted and took out the card.

We played for hours and lost track of time. By the time I declared myself the winner, it was later in the day.

Surprisingly, Zane had also returned. He was spying on Kaia and me as we argued about the game.

Kaia caught him, and he came to greet us, then asked for Kaia’s permission to steal me away for a moment.

When we got to our room, he gave me a bouquet he’d bought for me, and before we knew it, we were already making love.

Mon,

Chapter III

We fell on the bed after over an hour, trying to catch our breath after the delicious orgasms left our bodies.

Zane looked at me. He cupped my face and kissed my lips.

“Let’s go to the fertility specialist like you wanted,” he said, and my head snapped to him, surprised.

“Really?” I leapt and hugged him. “I love you, my big bad boy, thank you!”

Tears stained my face, and he wiped them, pulling me close to him.

We spent the rest of the day in our room, making love and eating delicious food.

Zane took the next day off, and we went to see the specialist.

After consultation and tests, she certified that both of us were fine and suggested that we spend some more time together and reduce whatever stress I was under.

I wasn’t under any stress, but I became more worried now.

“There is nothing wrong with the two of you,” the doctor said, and I nodded, but my heart was breaking.

Zane tried to cheer me up after we left the clinic, but nothing he did could get me out of my foul mood.

I felt horrible that my mood was ruining his plans to spend the day with me.

He didn’t mind and took me on a fast-food date. We ate a lot and took something home for Kaia and the girls in the pack.

I was tired after the long day we had.

Immediately upon entering our room, I went to take a shower, and Zane came after me.

We soaked in the bubble bath, and he washed my back. He shifted my hair aside and kissed my neck, making me moan softly.

“I love you, Justine,” Zane said, nibbling my mark. “You and only you mean the world to me. I don’t want you to think you are not enough.”

A tear fell from my eyes.

“I know, I love you too, Zane”
