Chapter 108 Tough Times
[Patrick’s P.O.V.)
Two days had passed and there was still no news of Alpha.
When we were on our way back from the crash scene that night, we met Alonso who said he might be able to help. I appreciated his willingness to help us as an outsider so we brought him to the fork in the road. But in the end, he got nothing.
I had been feeling very guilty ever since the incident. If only I had driven Alpha home that night, he would have been fine. But Luna comforted me, saying that Alpha was the one who refused to be driven home, so it wasn’t my fault.
I might have been feeling guilty, but Luna was in a worse condition than I was. She seemed to have lost her soul – she could not eat or sleep, and would keep asking whenever any of our phones rang if it was news about Alpha. Sometimes, she even looked like she was dying
We sent out our best guards, with the chief guard in the lead as they split into two groups to search for Alpha in the city and the mountains. But both areas were too big and it was impossible to cover every single inch of the ground. Despite our best efforts, we still couldn’t find him or any clues.
“A seriously injured person couldn’t have made it that far on his own. Someone must have saved him,” said Ad as we gathered in Luna’s office. The involvement of a third party was something we had already known, even without anyone pointing it out earlier. But it was not possible to tell if the person saved or kidnapped Alpha.
Luna was still sitting in a daze, listening to our conversation. But she suddenly got up and ran to the en suite bathroom. After a while, she came out with a pale face, not looking so
good.
“Child, are you okay?” asked Aunt Taylor.
“Yes, I just vomited again.”
“You need to see Dr. Baldwin. Didn’t you vomited that night right before you joined us for the movie?” Jane chimed in as well.
“What? You’ve been vomiting recently?” Aunt Taylor immediately stood up from the stool.
“Not always, just three times so far.”

“My God! You need to come with me to find Dr. Baldwin now,” said Aunt Taylor as she led Luna out with arms wrapped around the latter’s shoulders. Luna was simply too weak to protest.
“F*ck! How could I not have thought of that?!” Jane interrupted our discussion about our next steps to locate Alpha as she jumped out and rushed out the door, not long after Aunt Taylor and Luna had left.
(Jane’s P.O.V.)
I suddenly thought of something and immediately rushed over to the infirmary. D*mn it, when Luna told us that she was late for the movie because she had vomited, I couldn’t believe that I was convinced it was because she ate three ice creams after lunch. Who knew that the Werewolf of Chaos was so physically fit that she would throw up after eating just a few ice creams?
When I arrived at the infirmary door, I saw Dr. Baldwin walk Luna and Aunt Taylor out as Aunt Taylor told Dr. Baldwin to keep it a secret.
I didn’t ask any questions as I followed Aunt Taylor and Luna back to the latter’s room to put her to bed. Then, Aunt Taylor told me to find Mrs. Daisy and request for some nutritious meals.
After Mrs. Daisy quickly made the fried steak and freshly squeezed juice, I carried the meal to Luna’s room, then went to my room to get the small breakfast table that could be placed on the bed for in-bed meals.
Aunt Taylor raised Luna’s pillow a little higher and I set the small table in front of the latter so that she could eat in bed.
I watched as Luna mechanically cut the steak on the plate and put them in her mouth to chew. But soon, she began to retch again. I quickly moved the rest of the steak away. But she unexpectedly covered her face with both her hands and started sobbing.
“Why did the moon goddess do this to me?”
“Child, don’t be so negative. Every cloud has a silver lining. We must have hope.” Aunt Taylor gently stroked Luna’s back but I could see that the former was also trying hard to hold back her tears. Alpha’s disappearance had made her very haggard. After only two days, she seemed to have aged five years.
“Edward will come back safe and sound because he loves you and your child.”
Although I had been expecting it, my eyes started to turn red the moment I heard the last part of Aunt Taylor’s sentence.
I was right. Our Luna had become pregnant during this difficult time.
