Chapter 144

Miguel's Pov

I got the job because it turns out it wasn't one run by the occupants of this town.

Mond employed me without an interview, and I've been working for him for close to a month now.

I shelve books, check people's books out while Solomon does the rest.

Mond's job is to sit on a high raised chair all day except when he wants to cook.

"Is it only me, or is your stomach becoming bigger?" Mond asked one morning as we were taking lunch.

Solomon went to the neighbouring town to purchase a book one of the visitors of Maki town demanded for.

So far, this library have only being visited by two of the town's people who came more to gossip than buy books.

The rest of our customers are the visitors or temporary residents of this town.

In Maki town, there are three buildings built for those who are not citizens of this place.

I and mother are the only non indigenes living with them.

"Didn't you hear my question?" Mond asked with a wave of his hands on my face.

"Question? what question?" I removed his flaying hands from my face.

"Why is your stomach getting bigger? at first I thought it was my imaginations, but now it have gotten more bigger than it was a month ago."

Since I started working here, Mond have tried to know the reason I left my mates, but I've not let anything out .

I've not told them of my mates' rejections neither have I told him about my pregnant state. I just thought to keep everything secret till am sure it's safe to tell them.

"Promise you won't freak out?" i look around to make sure we're the out ones here.

I don't need another ear to hear what am about to tell him.

"Why should I freak out? there's nothing you all tell me that will make me freak out except you being pregnant which is....."

"Am pregnant,"

"_"

I look at the male looking at me with mouth agape.

"What's wrong Mond?"

He blinks "you're pregnant!" he widens his eyes in disbelief " you're really pregnant? you're not trying to pull my legs or anything like that?" he looks at my stomach.

i nod " am five months pregnant."

I touch my stomach. A bitter sweet expression on my face. 

I always thought I will grow into pregnancy with my mates beside me, helping me all the way, but it turns out the goddess didn't approve of something like that.

"Five month?" Mond stood up from his chair "you're pregnant, and you've been for five months now?" he blinks in disbelief.

"What's so difficult to believe Mond? why are you having a hard time believing my words?"

It would have been better have I thought to keep it to myself. It's would have been better if I didn't voice it out loud.

" Wait," he paces the floor " you're pregnant and you thought to keep something like this from me?" he gives me an accusing look " I thought we are best friends? I thought you love me the same way I do you."

He looks hurt.

" Believe me Mond when I say there are reasons why I didn't tell you these things. There's a reason I kept all those things to myself until now.

I would have told you when I started working here, but thought you will feel like am abnormal for being pregnant.

Abnormal for carrying a baby while am still male."

I was lucky I had people around me to support me when I found out I was pregnant.

Have it being that I wasn't supported then, I don't think I would have lived to see Mond.

"Shut up," Mond glared at me "why will I think my Luna abnormal?"

My countenance felled at his words. My heart getting sour at the title i know I won't hear of from the mouth of my pack; a pack I thought I belonged in.

But it turned out no one in the pack cares much about me, not even Bianca cared.

Bianca was the only one I would have thought ready to support me despite all, but she was the one who didn't look out for me, neither did she try to stop me or anything when I left the town.

"Why is your face sour? aren't you happy about your pregnancy?"

If I thought Mond too giddy before, his mood then holds no candle to the one he have on his face now " I can't believe am going to be an uncle, " he says with happiness " I bet the Alphas are ecstatic of your pregnancy."

"They don't care," I look down at my lunch "they don't care about me, neither do they care about our unborn baby. They don't want anything whatsoever to do with us."

They made it perfectly clear on the night of the dance.

Their hurtful words that night was still fresh in my mind.

"What?" Mond blinked at me "what do you mean by they don't want you? they want nothing to do with your baby?" Mond really looks ready to murder.

"That was what they told me on the night of our dance. They broke up with me without warning," I sobbed into my hands.

Talking of them right now made me relive the night all hell broke lose.

The night everything turned sour.

"You never told me all this Miguel, "Mond was really angry about that fact.

" I didn't want to burden another person with my problems. It's enough I have mother to share it with. I don't need another person to be involved in something that involves me."

I don't want to sullen their happiness with my sadness.

I don't want them to be sad.

If I can't attain happiness on my own. It's fitting I help another person achieve happiness.

"You know I won't think of it as a burden have you told me, but you selfishly kept it yo yourself Instead of sharing your problems with me."
