Moana
The door to my room creaked open, and a middle-aged man with a kind face walked in, "Hello, Moana. My name is Doctor Kali. I'm here to check up on you,"
He paused, awaiting my permission. I nodded weakly, and he began to examine me.
After a few minutes, he stepped back and said, "You need some rest. I'll prescribe some medication to help with the pain,"
I grasped his arm, desperation creeping into my voice, "How long will it take for me to endure, Doctor?"
"It depends on various factors, but I'm sure it will happen soon. The Lycan King and his Luna are eager for that to happen," He said, sympathetically.
My eyes widened as the truth dawned on me. The woman I saw with Jericho earlier was his Luna, and they had bought me solely to bear them a child.
Just then, Jericho and his Luna, Betty, walked into the room. Doctor Kali bowed deeply, "How is she?" Jericho asked, while scanning towards me, "She looks pale and needs rest, Lycan King," Doctor Kali replied.
"Why does she need rest? All she's here to do is work," Betty snorted. His expression turned professional, "With all due respect, Lycan King, her body has undergone significant trauma. Rest is essential for her recovery,"
Jericho nodded, "Prescribe whatever she needs to regain her strength quickly, Doctor,"
"As you wish, Lycan King," Doctor Kali said, bowing.
Jericho's gaze lingered on my pale face before he turned to summon one of the maids, "See to it that she is taken care of. Ensure her room is spotless and everything is in order," He ordered, the long gaze was never leaving mine.
"Thank you, Lycan King. With proper care, she should recover by the end of the day," Jericho nodded curtly before turning to leave. Doctor Kali followed him out, leaving me alone with the maid.
The maid, whose name was Julia, bustled around the room, tidying up and rearranging the furniture. She helped me into a warm bath, washing away the dirt and pain of the past few hours.
As I lay in bed, she brought me a beautiful new dress, its silk fabric shimmering in the sunlight, "The Lycan King ordered new clothes for you, ma'am. This one is especially lovely,"

Doctor Kali burst into my room, a look of panic on his face, "Moana, I was told you fainted earlier. I had to check on you immediately,"
He rushed over to me, the stethoscope at the ready. While examining me, his expression changed from concern to surprise, and finally, to happiness, "Moana, you're pregnant!" He exclaimed.
But his happiness was short-lived, as he quickly became serious again, "However, your asthmatic state is triggered, and the life of the baby could be in danger. The only option would be to terminate the pregnancy, but I wouldn't recommend that. It's too risky for you,"
I shook my head, feeling a sense of desperation, "Even if I decide to keep the baby, he'll continue to handle me roughly. I won't be able to take it,"
"I understand your plight. But we can't keep this a secret forever. The Lycan King will eventually find out," He muttered, sadly.
I grasped his arm, my eyes pleading, "Please, Doctor. Keep it a secret for as long as you can,"
"I'll keep your secret, Moana. But we need to be careful," He assured, calmly.
"Since you want to keep this a secret to safe your life, he should never suspect anything. You have to be careful to keep him niy realizing it. Okay?" Doctor Kali said, while I nonodd in understanding.
