Zare's point of veiw
My hand tightly grabs the negative pregnancy test, and the pain takes over my soul. I hate seeing Chetan's disappointment every time, it's like I let him down. He never tells me I do, I know how much he wants a baby, and so do I.
I slowly walk out of the bathroom, and I am immediately met with a smile, one that always melts my heart.
I shake my head. "Not this time." I hold back tears. I don't feel like a woman. My body keeps failing me, denying my request for motherhood.
"It's okay, love. Maybe next time." Chetan wraps me into a huge, and I lay my head on his shoulder.
"You know there's always adoption."
I look at his face. I see the love in his eyes.
"I want to compare a baby to you. I wish to see him or her have your eyes and smile. Not only that, but to have your laugh and see how your personalities are so similar.
"I know Zare. We will."
"I am losing hope."
He gently rubs my cheek with his hand. "I am not."
A few hours later, I watch Chetan leave with Ajay for a fun manly time hunting. The boys lately have been catching squirrels and making squirrel soup. I'm not going to lie, it is delicious.
I stand up from the tree I've been laying against. I know we promised no more secrets, but this is something I have to absolutely keep from him for as long as possible and hopefully forever.
My feet walk towards the woods, I'll have enough time to make it to the cave and back.
"Where are you going, brave heart?" I heard Dev's voice, and I couldn't help but roll my eyes. Of course, Chetan wants him to keep an eye on me.
"Just for a run."
I know everybody in the pack knows how upset I've been about not being able to conceive. I know they're just worried I'm going to go off the rails. Maybe I have.
"Yeah, okay sure." Dev rubs the back of his neck.
I couldn't help but laugh. " Don't worry, I have nothing on my sleeve."
"So I'm not going to regret this later?"
" No" I smile. This could be a lie I have no idea how conceiving a baby with magic is going to infect everybody in the pack.
I walked around and looked at Zero's cave and I couldn't help but feel the sadness inside me. I still have a hard time dealing with a fact that Zero had died at Ajay's hands, and I really try not to have hard feelings towards him still, but I do.
Then my eyes land and the purple color potion I know that I need. I was genuinely grateful that Ajay left the unuseful ones still in the cave, though I'm not sure why he didn't remove them all for incidents like this.
A pop opened the lid and brought the bottle to my mouth. Please please please be a good idea. The liquid that entered my mouth was disgusting. It tasted like rotted vegetables was the only way I can describe it. Then it was like somebody sent me on fire, and my whole body burned. I put my head back and moan. Then visions started playing in my head, like a future film. I see a girl that I have never seen before. She was stunning and was definitely my daughter. I can tell by the way she resembled her father. I see many faces I don't know, obviously part of her pack.
Nico's not the one I heard chetan's voice, and then everything went dark.
