Chapter 4: Anastasia’s Point Of View

I sat down on my couch, lost in thought about what I'm going to do. Finding my baby's father seemed like the best option for me as I thought about it.

I really needed him to take responsibility and without finding him, there was no way he could know. I just hoped that Selena finds a solution. I was so glad I found Selena because she had been so nice to me and she always helped me in my ordeals.

I guessed she was a spiritual person because I didn't know why she needed the clothes I wore when I shared the intimate moment with the strange guy.

Well, I knew she would find a solution to the problem. She always does. I stood up from the chair and went close to the window, gazing at the sky until a wave of nausea came over me.

I rushed to the bathroom and vomited again. I was feeling so weak when I was done and when I touched my forehead, it was so hot.

I took a deep breath, rinsed my face and walked out of the bathroom like a person whose legs were injured.

I slowly sat down on my bed and took my phone when Selena's message entered.

"Hey dear, I'm coming over now." It read. I was eager to see her text, so I smiled before I was forced to drop the phone and ran to the bathroom again because I was feeling nausea.

I vomited again for quite a while and rinsed my face when I was done. 'The baby must be so strong,' I thought as I came out of the bathroom.

I patiently waited for the doorbell to ring and when it did, I quickly rushed to open it without checking who it was first.

I opened the door to meet Selena and my lips widened. I hugged her excitedly,'"Bae!!"

I led her to the sitting room and we both took a seat on one of the couches.

Resting on my couch, Selena's facial expression wasn't looking good.

As I noticed that, I questioned her, "Hope all is well?" And she took a deep breath which made me anxious.

"Don't tell me you don't have any information about it?!" With a downcast look I asked but she was still silent.

"Ohh, come on Selena, talk!" I bellowed at her but then it seemed that her muteness mattered more to her.

"Say something!!" I shouted again and then she took a deep breath again.

"Alright, I will talk." She said as she calmed her nerves down. I just hoped that she would give me some good news.

"You might not want to believe this," she said and put a long stop which only made me more curious.

"Can you stop speaking in parables?" I showed my frustrations.

"Selena, you aren't helping my condition. C'mn, say anything, I am ready to bear the news." I summoned all my courage and told her that, hiding away all my anxiousness.

"He is not an ordinary human," she stared deeply into my eyes as she realyed the news.

I chuckled. She sounded weird. 'What does she mean that he is not an ordinary man.?' I thought.

"Come on bae, explain to me better." I persuaded her.

"He is not an ordinary man. You need to know the truth," she uttered again and this time I was scared.

"You need to move on and focus on your babies. He mustn't know you have them," she said again and I was just confused.

"Are you sick?" I turned her face which had been moved away from mine whh she said those words back to me. I checked her temperature to be sure she wasn't sick and was in her right state of mind.

But she just shrugged my hands away, "Babe, I'm alright…'

She couldn't finish the sentence when I yelled at her, "Then explain the fuck you are saying!"

"He is a werewolf," she said and that was when I started to laugh as that was just so absurd.

"Werewolf as how? Babe, I'm not reading werewolves any more, say something that makes sense!" I yelled at her, my forehead creased from frustration.

"He is a werewolf!" she shouted back at me, making me tremble in fear as I struggled to make head of what she was saying.

"You have to stop looking for him. He is a dangerous guy," she sid but this time witn a calm voice as she stared at me with pleading eyes. But I was furious, I didn't care less about looking at her.

I read werewolves a lot but I didn't believe it them, so why the hell is Selena trying to enter my head with her hit now?!

"Come on, tell me. Do they exist?" I finally tried to get my cool and ask one question.

"Yeah, they do. I am one of them," she said and stood up. I didn't really quite register the words she said, I mean, it was absurd but then she took off her clothes and I still couldn't discern what she was trying to do.

My furious and confused self finally started getting scared. She fucking twisted her neck!

She started to growl like a wolf and began to transform. Her fingernails broke and new long, sharp ones grew. I was basically trembling in fear and then tried to run away from my seat but I felt rooted to the spot. I watched as her bones started to crack and white hair appeared all over her body.

I was shocked and surprised. I couldn't believe my eyes. I closed and opened them back and a white wolf with red eyes was still staring back at me.

The shock was too much and I screamed and passed out.

I woke up and found myself laying on the couch. I touched my forehead and felt a wet towel on it.

I scanned the sitting room and there was no one there.

"It was a dream," I tried to convince myself about the wolf I believed I saw but then Selena walked in.

I quickly stood up to defense myself with my hands.

"Calm down, babe. I won't hurt you," she said, trying to calm me down.

"How do you want me to trust you?" I asked with quivering eyes. "You kept all this from me all these time and expect me to trust that you won't hurt me."

"I was scared that you would run away from me," she responded in an apologetic tone as she tried to get closer to me again.

"Can I move closer to you?" She asked as she saw me moving back again.

And then I nodded, stopping my fears for a while. For the first time, my friend didn't turn out as I expected. She hid something so huge from me.

She sat down close to me and my hair stood up on my back. She moved her hands closer to me and gave me a gentle pat on my shoulders.

"You need to know something about this stranger," she uttered and I was so much interested in the conversation.

"Tell me, I'm all ears." I replied back.

"You have to stop looking for him. He is not an ordinary guy; you had a one night stand with Dominic Steele, the Alpha of the Darkwoods pack" She said and the word Alpha struck my ears.

"Is this a novel or what?" I questioned myself, "Alpha in the human world." I muttered.

"Tell me I am not his mate," I questioned based on the little idea I knew from reading novles.
