PREGNANT?
ROWAN'S POV CONTINUES.
The rogues wanted to attack, but I defeated them all, before turning to look at the unknown lady.
' Finally ' I thought with happiness. The moon goddess made me happy again, and gave me a second chance mate.
" Finally I could redeem myself for all my mistakes," I thought, as I caught the girl who collapsed into my arms, and lifted her up fully in a bridal style, to balance well in my arms.
' Her body is so soft' I thought, feeling my heart soaring from too much happiness.
Meanwhile Alexander was restless in my mind and kept inquiring.
" Is mate alright, what is going on?" I ignored him and just walked into the palace.
On my way towards the pack healer's ward, the maids and guards around were stunned to see a lady in my arms and began whispering to one another instantly.
I was fully sure this news would spread out in the next 25 seconds.
I entered the pack healer's room without knocking, and he could not look more shocked to see me, especially with a lady in my arms.
" Who is she?" He asked curiously, but I just ignored him and gently placed her on the bed.
I wrapped the duvet around her. It was winter and I noticed how she was shivering before passing out. I rang the bell stationed by the bed summoning two maids in. They came in and both greeted me with a bow.
" Alpha" I nodded at them in response before commanding.
" Clean her up before allowing the pack doctor here to have her wounds treated" . I told them.
They both exchanged a look of surprise before nodding and scurrying out of the ward to get my orders done.
I turned towards my bed and looked at the lady once more. The urge to protect her came once again and I wondered why?
" Because she is our second mate dummy," Alexander answered.
" The urge to protect her is completely normal and will become stronger once you mark her" He added and I sighed.
" My mate" I growled possessively, while also wondering how she got into my territory, being chased by rouges.
' What was taking those maids so damn long?' I wondered and just then the door flew open, Richard coming in.
" What is going on Rowan, why are you here, are you sick?" He asked worriedly, not sighting my mate yet.
But I just ignored him and continued to look at the pale girl laying on the bed showing no sign of breathing but my mind was at rest for I knew she was alive.
Richard traced my gaze to the bed and saw her on it.
" You brought a rogue into our pack" He muttered with disgust and somehow hearing those words pissed me off.
" Take that back" I growled, startling him.
" What?" He asked surprised.
" I said take that back" I growled louder, this time, turning to him and using my authority on him.
Something which I had never done before,All for her.
He instantly got onto his knees and apologized.
" I am sorry Alpha" I cooled down and signaled for him to get up.
He did while throwing me curious glances which he also directed towards the girl but I was in no mood for any questions and I think he noticed because he kept quiet.
Some minutes later, 4 maids entered the room with bowls and napkins.
" Alpha" They all greeted and bowed when they got In front of me and I nodded in acknowledgment, before turning to the pack healer, who was silent all along observing the situation.
" Please check on her, '' I said, pointing towards my mate lying peacefully on the bed.
He went closer and checked her pulse, before turning to face me.
" She is still alive. Just tired and scared" The pack healer diagnosed and Alexander started jumping up nervously in my head trying to take control but I shut him off.
' Why would she be scared, was someone perhaps terrorizing her, was that why she ran away?' I wondered, curiously and seeking answers I knew I could not find until she woke up to tell me herself.
I felt the urge to strangle whosoever that put her in such circumstances like this.
" What is wrong with her?" I asked worriedly.
" From my observation" The pack healer began sitting on the bed and holding out my mate's thin hand.
' Weren't they feeding her there?' I wondered.
" There are bruises and cuts all over her body. Her pulse signifies she is extremely drained and needs tons of rest. She also seems to have caught a cold." He explained and I sighed.
' Just what did she go through and how did she end up out there?' I wondered.
" Apart from all these,she is okay," The pack doctor added.
" Please make sure to treat her and get her cleaned and changed" I said and The pack doctor nodded with a grin on his face signifying " we have a discussion later".
I was about to leave when the pack doctor words stopped me.
" Also, she is pregnant". He added, and I felt my entire world crumbling. I was feeling breathless and surprisingly painful.
' Why?' I wondered. The moon goddess paired with a lady already belonging to another man and even having his pups in her tummy.
I then wished whosoever the bastard that impregnated her was In Front of me, so I could wring his neck for touching what was mine.
" How?" I found myself asking, and the doctor just shrugged.
" I have no idea Rowan, '' the pack doctor replied.
I started overthinking, and just wanted to shove her off from the bed and back to the woods where I found her.
" Don't you dare" Alexander growled in my head.
" I cannot take what belongs to another man" I told him and he snorted.
" Don't judge, hear her out first" He told me before disappearing to the back of my head, making me realize he was right.
I facepalmed myself before walking out of the room with Richard giving them all the space they needed to get her clean, despite my heart still shattering.
" Will you mind telling me who she is now?" Richard asked as we headed towards my study.
" She is my mate?" I replied and walked into my study leaving him standing outside with his mouth agape.
" What?" I heard him whisper in shock but I couldn't care less, for my thoughts were all occupied with her.
" Who is she?" I whispered to myself, wishing answers would just surface.
