The Littlest Wolf

7

Theodore hadn't been kidding when he said there would be someone outside my door all the time, it was usually Damon but even the best werewolf door men had to have a break sometimes. I had actually got to know Damon quite well, as long as I stayed on my side of the threshold he was happy to answer most of the questions I had for him, he was very vague when it came to Theodore but that was to be expected.

I did find out that Damon had a mate who wasn't even allowed to know what he was doing yet she just readily accepted that all of his time had been taken up by doing some secret job that she had no knowledge about. It's safe to say I would not be that understanding

"She knows I'm helping the Alpha and that's all she needs to know, she also knows that I couldn't even look at another girl like I do with her now I've met her so she trusts that I am literally just doing boring work for the Alpha" he shrugs like its no big deal

"Oh so I'm boring am I?" I ask with a straight face, at first Damon's eyes widen in panic trying to think of an excuse but I soon break out of my fake annoyed face and just laugh

"You got me good there" he smirks, he glances down at my stomach, he had done it numerous times since he had been looking after me but had never asked any questions and I respected him for it, he knew I would eventually open up to him but it wasn't going to be when we first mate but I had warmed up to him extremely quick and told him the same story I had told Anna which he accepted and then changed the subject seeing how down it had gotten me.

I had also learnt from him that he was two years older than Theodore who was 26 meaning Damon was 10 years older than me, I'd light teased him because of this but he knew I wasn't being serious when I told him I was going to make him a custom built walking frame, it hit me that, that meant that Theodore was 8 years older than me.

Sometimes when Anna couldn't stay with me while I was eating, I'd take the tray onto the floor, open the door and eat it sat on the floor while talking to Damon. The only problem with this was that as the days dragged on getting closer to my due date, the harder it was actually getting to get back up from the floor which was a great source of entertainment for Damon who I had gotten into the habit of flipping off quite regularly.

I wasn't as keen on the other man who came to guard my door when Damon wasn't there, we didn't sit and chat on each side of the door and it was rather boring when he was there - I didn't even know his name.

In these times when I could get away with not having to speak to anyone I had been scoping my room out, looking for places to escape from or things I could use to escape. The window the bathroom was surprisingly big and it opened just enough for me to squeeze myself out it, I'd guessed but I would have to do it soon because it felt like my body was expanding double it's size everyday and soon I would be completely stuck.

It was after my next experience with Theodore that I decided that I needed to leave.

-

I had pulled my top up to reveal my belly, I was walking my fingers up and down it lightly causing kicks in response, it was so frightening but amazing. I had no time to cover myself up when Theodore burst into the room sending my naked stomach a disgusted look but yet he came over to me and sat on the edge beside me.

"It's just a baby" I whisper running my hand over the bump with a smile on my face

"A baby that isn't born by the right two people, isn't born out of love" he says with the same disgusted look

"But he isn't born out of hate either - you're telling me you'd rather me be raped by a stranger and pregnant? You've never even asked how it happened - for all you know that could've happened and yet you've locked me up in this room like an animal" I spit out and I see him visibly flinch at the thought

"That isn't the point" he mutters knowing I'm right but not willing to admit it

"That's exactly the point! I'm having this baby and if you don't like it - let me go!" I exclaim going to pull the t-shirt down but Theodore stops me

"You know that isn't an option" he sighs watching my bump as it moves in funny ways as the baby shifts in position

"I don't want to stay in here anymore" I say giving him a pleading look, I want him. I want him more than he could know and yet I had to do the right thing for everyone involved. If I wasn't what he wanted then me leaving would allow him to find someone else, I could find someone else and he wouldn't have to live with a baby he hated, my baby wouldn't have to live with someone who resent him/her

"You can't leave me" he says and suddenly he is the one that looks like a child, a small boy fearing rejection

"Accept me then, don't keep me your best kept secret" I say looking around the large room, it could easily fit in another double bed but I wasn't willing to do that for my child when they got to 18 because my stupid mate still couldn't decide what to do.

I reach out and take Theodore's hand, I press it down on my bump forcing him to feel it, he grimaces outright but we both soon relax, I see a look of wonder fill his eyes as the baby kicks under his hand and for a minute I think everything it going okay but he quickly comes back to his senses and jumps out ripping his hand away

"That's not my baby and never will be and.... and you're going no where!" he shouts before storming out, slamming the door on his way out. Tears flood my cheeks instantly as I am wracked with sobs

Stupid pregnancy hormones with the mix of a stupid mate bond. stupid, stupid, stupid!

"We're going to get out of here bean" I whisper placing my hand on my stomach before pulling my top down.

I go to the bathroom and open the window making sure I was positive I would fit, it would be a squeeze but I knew I could manage it if I pushed hard enough, I needed out of here and it would happen tonight.
