Chasing His Betrayed Luna by KiKi Jones

8. Mate And Alpha

AURELIA

I couldn't remember the last time I was this happy. No! No, I actually do. The last time I was exceedingly happy was the day I found out that the charming Alpha Prince who had saved me from bullies countless times was my destined mate. Gosh, I was so happy. I foolishly believed that he would be good to me and that we would have a great family.

That was the last time I felt real happiness.

And to be honest, even right now, I felt something more than happiness. I felt fear. Fear for the life of my child if anyone finds out that I am pregnant. Larisa would have me killed and from his past reactions to me, Alpha Raiden would definitely get rid of my child and me just so he could have a clear path back to his lover.

I gasped, "I need to get out of here. I need to go far away from all of them."

In haste, I tried to push myself off the bed but I failed miserably, falling right back on the bed when the pain I had forgotten seized my body again. "Aahh..." I cried out, seething as beads of sweat trickled down my face from the root of my hair. "Help me, Dakota." I cried for help.

Dakota grabbed my weak frame gently and helped me sit, wiping my sweaty face with the bed sheets. The next thing I knew, she placed a tray of well-cooked meals on my lap and assured me that she would help me escape. "Eat up child and drink the herb in the jug. It's medicinal and it should help you gain enough strength to get to safety."
