Chapter 4

"Luna Vanessa Myers I Sara Sinclair challenge you to a dual to the death" the woman yelled Infront of everyone at the viewing.

"how dare you challenge a grieving wolf to a duel of death" Jason's mother yelled at her "it's alright... I accept your challenge when would you like it held?" I said to Sara.

"might as well hold it now so you and Jason can be buried together" she said. "let us go out side then" I said walking back out side with everyone following behind.

"are you sure about this" Tyler's asked. "I will not let this bitch ruin Jason's funeral" I replied and he nodded.

everyone surrounded us in a large circle, In the middle of it was sara Tyler and me. "ok we all know the rule but for this purpose I will revise them" Tyler said. "Luna Vanessa has been challenged to a duel of death meaning only one of the two wolves fighting here will survive" Tyler continued. "you two may only fight in your wolf forms if you change to human form you automatically forfeit so with that May the strongest lead our pack" he finished.

with that we both should into our wolf forms. hers was brown while mine was a greyish black. I could feel the slight anxiety from my mate who was still here, but I couldn't focus on that it would only distract me.

we began to circle each other and a strange feeling crept over me, my stomach began to cramp but I had to ignore it, if I forfeit I lose my pack and I sure as hell don't I tend to die.

Sara then went in for a strike and grabbed my back leg then throwing me. ~i suggest you give up now luna~ she linked me 'fuck this' I thought to myself. I quickly got back up and ran towards her. we beag to fight like wild dogs. she aimed for my stomach as I aimed for her throat. the cramps inside me continued to grow worse, I had to end this.

I barely managed to grab her throat and she stopped moving ~please don't kill me~ she linked ~forfeit or die~ I linked back. after a moment she shifted back into a human and I let go of her and walked away "SARA SINCLAIR HAS FORFEIT!" Tyler yelled and the crowd cheered and I shifted back.

mia quickly handed me my clothes and I put them back on as fast as I could. "are you ok" mia asked as she saw me clenching my stomach. "no my stomach it's... ah... severely cramping" I said in pain. "c'mon let's get you to a doctor" Mia said helping me try to walk.

"I-im fine" I said trying to stand up straight "Ahhhh!" I yelled falling to my knees holding my stomach. the pain continued to grow worse and worse spreading through our my body. Jason's parents and my sister ran up to me who was collapsed on the ground.

"please someone we need a doctor" Jason's mother yelled out "I'm a doctor" a man yelled running over it was my mate. "Alpha Jarred thank God" Mia said as he began to examine my stomach.

"I see this is happening because she shifted while pregnant" jarred said "Pregnant!" Jason's dad said shocked. "if we don't get her hospital she'll lose the baby" he continued.

after that everything went black and all I heard was the sound of muffled voices until everything went silent.

....

"Vanessa" a familiar voice called out "hello!" I called back "who's there" I said as a bright light suddenly appeared and someone began to walk out of it.

"Vanessa" the voice said again and I could finally make it out "Jason!" I said shocked as he slowly walked closer to me. "I'm so happy to see you" he said hugging me. and I was silent until he released me from his hug.

"Jason is this all real..... Or is it just happening inside my head?" I asked confused and kinda heartbroken. "of course it's happening inside your head Nes" he said putting his hand on my cheek gently. "Why should that mean that it's not real" he said with a light smile.

"I miss you so much" I said tears beginning to fall down my cheeks "I know" he said wiping away a tear. "but now we can both be with our mates like the goddess intended" he said comfortingly. "what if I'm not ready?" I asked "then take the time to heal, we grew up with each other your mate will understand and make sure you and your mate raise our child properly the goddess told me to tell you" he said with a chuckle.

"I will" I replied with a light smile then we were silent "will I ever see you again?" I asked, "one day" he said "but that won't be for a long time" he said softly. then he slowly kissed my lips one last time and that was when I opened my eyes.

"Nes thank God your ok" mia and my sister said at the same time.

"what...?" I said when mia interrupted "it turns out you are pregnant and you shifting while pregnant put the baby in serious distress especially since you were in your wolf from so long" she said. "is the baby ok?" I asked concerned. "the baby is fine your quick healing and the babies quick healing plus the doctors made sure of that" Alpha Jarred said entering the room.

"Can I have a minute alone with alpha Jarred I d like to talk with him alone" I said to mia and my sister"no problem" Mia said pulling my sister out of the room and closing the door behind her.

"why didn't you wait for me?" he asked a second after the door closed. "I gave up... with each year passing the the percentage of us actually meeting lowers. I was 20 and that gave me a 20% chance to find you. my parents knew that to, so they arranged my marriage with Jason who had lost his mate" I answered.

"ok I can try to accept that answer but what are we going to do about you being pregnant?" he said crossing his arms.
