Alex Lunaria's POV
Waking up, I stretched my hand, rubbing my head. It aches, and I sense something suspicious. I tried to recollect what happened after drinking the coffee.
'Coffee,' I stammered, jumping up from my bed.
'What has she done?' I scratched my head in confusion.
'Where is Luna Sophia?' Those words escaped from my mind. I quickly touched my chest to see if she had realized my secret.
'Guards!' I yelled from the inside.
'Yes, Alpha,' one of the guards opened the door.
'Get me Sophia now!' I bellowed.
'I'm afraid she is yet to return from her trip," he bowed his head.
'Trip,' I repeated the word, my eyebrow raised.
'Where did she just go?' Before completing my statement, Sophia walked in elegantly, rendering me speechless.
'Leave us,' she commanded as the guard exited.
'Where have you been, Luna?' I asked her.
'I've been busy with a lot of work. I needed to fix some things in place," she said with a broad smile appearing on her cheek.
'Fix what?' I asked.
'You don't need to know,' she gazed at me, making me nervous. 'Alpha,' she added with a broad smile.
'Can I have an idea of what you did to me?' I asked her, raising my eyebrow.
'What did I do? The shock of ignorance appeared on her face.
'Don't you understand what I was saying?" I asked.
'I'm sorry, Alpha. It seems you really had a stressful day. You should relax..." Before completing her words.
'The beta of the Ashwood pack has arrived, Louis,' the guard outside announced.
'Tell him to hold on,' I said while he was walking towards me.
"Your Alpha, a war is approaching," he said with his heart beating fast.
'Which war?' I asked, confused.
'The Skywood pack wants to expand their territory since you are yet to have an heir.' Immediately he uttered the word heir, I felt nauseous and rushed towards the window, vomiting.
'Are you okay, my Alpha?' Louis asked, walking towards me. I stopped him with my other hand from coming further.
'Call the council for a meeting,' I said, still trying to catch my breath.
I walked away from the window, went straight to my bathroom, and poured some water on my face.
'Alpha!' Sophia yelled from my chamber.
'What's going on?' I walked out to her, pretending to be okay.
'I heard there's a war approaching since I don't have an heir, the other pack wants to expand their territory,' panic written all over her face.
'Don't worry, Lun…' before finishing those words, I rushed into the bathroom and vomited again.
I could feel Sophia walking inside. 'Are you okay, Alpha?" she asked me. I nodded, covering my mouth, and finally picking up the bowl to rinse my face.
Standing up, Sophia was confused by what she was seeing. 'Are you okay, Alpha?" I nodded.
'I just ate the wrong food,' I walked out.
'I will be back shortly,' I left my chambers immediately to avoid any further suspicions. I realized I was finally pregnant; the nausea and everything are symptoms.
'I hope I don't get exposed,' I sighed, touching my belly as I reached the palace. A lot of arguments were going on.
'Enough!' I yelled, and everyone turned their gaze at me. 'Your Highness,' they all bowed.
With one eyebrow raised, I asked, 'So can someone tell me what business we have with the other packs waging war?'
'The Skywood pack wants to increase their territory, that's why, and they are planning to wage war on us,' my Gamma said.
'Wage war? Skywood pack?' I asked in surprise.
'Yes, the greedy Skywood pack wants to claim this place as their territory,' Louis said.
'So, what plans have we made?' I asked everyone as they all looked at their faces with no response. I folded my hands in anger.
'And if that's the case, why are there rumors spreading about me not having an heir, that's why they want war?' I asked in annoyance.
'Your Highness, rumors are rumors. This is the major message we received; they want their territory expanded since the alpha is impotent and has no land for bastards,' the gamma uttered without thinking twice. I chuckled with my brow raised.
'Seize him for being a traitor,' I walked away angrily.
(Skywood pack)
'You are back again, my midnight damsel,' he hugged me tight.
'Everyone here wants to meet their Luna. They are worried about you, thinking I hid you on purpose,' he added, dropping me down.
'Don't believe what they say. Guess what?' I giggled.
'I'm finally having your heir,' I said with excitement.
'You mean an heir?' he lifted me up again and spun me around, but I wasn't happy that my own mate would be attacking my pack.
'Michael,' I uttered, and he stopped.
'What's your next move?' I asked him.
'Guess what too? I will be expanding our territory for you and my unborn heir,' he leaned towards my belly, kissing the stomach.
'Don't attack the Ashwood pack,' I couldn't hide the pain.
'Why should I? And how do you know about my plans?' he asked.
'If you love me, don't do that,' I said to him. He lifted me up.
'Ashwood pack will be under my captivity. It's for the both of us,' he leaned to kiss me, but I didn't reciprocate.
'I will take my leave. My father's sickness is getting worse; he needs me,' I sadly leaned towards him, kissing his cheek, and went out this time without jumping or transforming into my wolf.
While walking through the woods, I could smell the air and felt something strange. 'Is there anybody there?' I asked, seeing a shadow run away.
