My nerves are killing me, I don't know what my partner's parents will say, they have the right to take her away from me and even more, to talk to the council, according to the law and take her away from me.
I walk slowly to the entrance of the house, when I'm just a few meters away, her father opens the door and looks at me suspiciously.
-Come in," he says.
He turns around and enters the house, I follow him behind, when I enter I see her there, on the sofa, I can't help not seeing her, she's my drug.
-Sit down," her father orders me.
I never take orders from anyone, but I have to be careful, if I don't want them to run away with her.
He sits down next to his wife and takes her hand. She is scared, but my partner, she is happy. I sit down in front of them, and we all keep silent.
-My name is Laura and this is my husband, Armando.
-It's a pleasure.
-It's mutual," Armando says angrily, "I thought you were a fair and honest alpha.
-I am... But... -I look away, not really sure what to say.
-I can understand why you're hiding it, not only because she's not born yet, but because the law dictates that you live far away from her. But now my daughter is in danger.
-I'm sorry," I make my hands into a fist, "I'll do as you wish, but you must consider that this situation is something we've never heard of before, there's no record of it.
-It makes it even more dangerous, don't you see? -He stands up angrily.
-Darling," she also stands up and takes his arm, "we have two options and neither is the safest.
-I can take care of her and you, we'll keep her a secret until she's the right age.
-She's not born yet, she's too many years away, we can't take that risk.
-Yes we can," she looks at me, "we can't avoid it anymore," she tries to walk towards me, but her husband stops her, "our daughter," she turns to him, looking at him, "he already chose for us, we can't take him away from him anymore," she lets go of her husband's grip.
She walks over to me and sits down next to me.
-May I? -I say, pointing to her belly.
With some trepidation, but she nods anyway.
I reach out my arm and stroke my little companion, she's there, I can feel her, she's moving, she's happy.
-I'm going to protect you at all costs, against everyone.
-Even from the council? From the king? And most of all from your pack?
-Yes," he answered his father confidently.
-Then, may the moon goddess cover us.
