Denied by Destiny: Trapped in the Shadows of the Mate Bond

Chapter 0547 "I...I just need a moment." I respond, clutching at my stomach, excruciating pain cramping at me. "Here take some of this?" The old woman hands her hip flask out to me, a groan escaping me as I bend over...I was going to hurl at any second.

"What is it?"

"It will help, it will take the pain away."

I take the hip flask off her, sniffing at it only to push it away from me...the potent smell of wolfsbane burning at my nostrils.

"It's wolfsbane." My pain is too intense to really sound how horrified I am that not only she was willingly sipping on this but she was offering it to a pregnant woman.

"Yes."

"Why would you think I would want that?"

"It will stop the calling to the pack, to the baby's father."

"It will kill the baby."

"No, I've been taking it for decades and I'm still standing." I'm torn between crying and laughing at her comment, the severity of my current situation hitting me like a ton of bricks.
