Vanessa's POV
This Adam had completely underestimated me, underestimated my wolf, he assumed that me being pregnant and held hostage meant I would just comply with whatever he wanted to do. Eh wrong. When he squeezed my nipple and the tear gates opened, he thought it was because I was scared of him and what he was going to do to me. Eh wrong again. Yes, he was bigger than me and had I not begun my training there was no doubt in my mind that he would have beaten me given the chance but luckily for me I've sparred with my fair share of beefy men. So, was I scared of him? No, no I wasn't not while I knew Jewel was with me. The high priestess had injected me with something that suppressed my gifts however it didn't touch my wolf but only because she knew we wouldn't want to suffer the consequences of her shifting. She may not be able to shift but it didn't mean she couldn't take control of my human form, forcing her strength into me. I was scared however about the affect my fighting would have on my pup, the pup I now knew would be a daughter. It had to be a girl, why else would Axel's mother go through all this just to obtain me. To do what no-one else had ever managed to do, make my mum submit.
The high priestess, or Shelia as I now know she's called was completely shocked when she returned to the room I was in. She had half expected to see me bawling my eyes out and having been taken by Adam against my will no doubts, she wanted to break me and using him she thought it would happen; but like hell was I letting him fuck me. The moment his tobacco scented breath fanned my neck a slight nausea hit me so I slung my head back as hard as I could hearing a crunch as it encountered his face. My fight or flight instincts automatically kicking in. During our training sessions we always had it drummed into us not to wait for retaliation. That the moment we hesitate could be all they need to gain the advantage. So, while he cradled his broken nose I spun out of the chair and jumped on his back. Jewel pushing her energy and strength into me a little at a time as we didn't know how long this would take, the last thing we needed was for both our energy sources to run out leaving us defenceless and completely at his mercy. When on his back I bought my arm up under his chin pulling it against his throat as hard as I could using my forearm to apply pressure, placing him in a chokehold. I wanted to stop him getting oxygen and fall unconscious however Adam had seen it coming. Grabbing my hair, he crouched down and threw me across the room. My back hit the wall before sliding down onto my head. Ok so maybe he was stronger than I originally thought but he still wasn't a wolf meaning if I could get the upper hand without him expecting it, I'd win.
"If we can get under him somehow, we can slice him open"
"Are you kidding me Jewel the last place we need to be is under him. We make one mistake and we become a toy and that isn't happening"
"Pregnancy is messing with your brain cells, goddess help me" the way she rolled her eyes at me as if I were forgetting something obvious. "Let him think he's winning, the moment he leans over us our claws can rip him apart. Gamma Sid taught you this that day a trainer came from the Royal Kingdom" I remembered that day so clearly, well some of it and those memories just not containing many of those moves. I was too busy staring and flirting with the trainer during the lessons which ended well for me. I lost my virginity that day and goddess was it a night to remember, though unfortunately for him he not only lost his job but his mate. Turned out his mate was one of the omegas in my pack and he knew but refused to accept her until the day he left. That's when things went south for him, his mate told my father what she saw then rejected her mate on the spot.
Trying to wrack my memories of any movements that day I came up empty handed so without warning Jewel took control. Her plan however failed. I had become too distracted by my wolf that I didn't see Adam launch at me. Jewel having no other choice shifted, hoping, and preying the pup would survive it. As I watched through her eyes, I couldn't hold myself together the tears fell as I begged her to hurry and shift back. When my eyes finally opened again, I was back on two legs only stark naked. Adams mutilated body scattered over the floor, our claw marks leaving the edges of his skin jagged from having been torn apart.
It was then a sharp pain emitted from my stomach, a pain so bad it dropped me to my knees. For a spilt second, I called out for Axel, only to be hit by his block again. A scream that could have been easily mistaken for a banshee leaving my lips as I prayed killing Adam hadn't cost me my pup. A portal opened beside me Sheila running towards me stopping when she saw my shaking form. With a quick glance around the room and at the man's body she knew what I had done, she knew I had shifted.
"You better hope you haven't lost that pup" was all she said as she plunged a needle into my neck making my eyesight blur as I collapsed onto the hard ground.
My eyes opened to what looked like a picture from a postcard. I had never been here before, but I had overheard my mum and Athena talk about. I was in the moon realm as they called it. I called out knowing my great-grandmother had to have bought me here, yet I didn't know why. She had never bothered before so why now?
"Vanessa" I turned around to see someone I never thought I'd ever get to meet, and it wasn't the moon goddess, it was my grandmother.
"How? I thought only the moon goddess could call us here" in her pictures she always looked so happy but standing here in front of me she certainly didn't.
"I'm her daughter so I have the power to call upon my own blood and believe me child calling you was not a choice I had" I could taste her disgust for me in the air as I breathed leaving a sour taste in my mouth, yet she didn't know me and already she didn't like me. "My mother asked me to speak with you and she never asks that of me. She is utterly disgusted with you as am I. The day you were born I watched as my own daughter named you after me my heart bursting with happiness. She lost me so young that she still honoured me in the best way possible. Only now I wish she hadn't. You are such a disappointment Vanessa. Before you got your gifts you were such a lovely kind-hearted little girl. You looked at the world in such a way I truly thought you would be the best Luna yet, I watched when you healed that dove with the broken wing forming a special bond with it. Then you changed. You became cold, heartless, and abusive. And towards your own twin nether the less. The day sweet Athena tried to end her life you found her, you heard her heart slow and instead of helping, instead of healing her you turned and walked away. She died Vanessa because of her depression, because of you"
"Hey, hang on a fucking minute. She did that to herself. No-one forced those pills down her throat just as no-one forced her to slit her wrists. And if you have been watching as you say then you would know that the day she ran away, and those rogues got a hold of her I fucking saved her. I didn't have to, but I did" I had never met this woman yet the things I'd heard from granny rose and my grandfather I held her on such a pedestal, but now no.
"Child you will not interrupt me when I am speaking to you" I went to argue back my hands going to my throat as my words wouldn't come out. Every sound I tied to make came out silent. "You will get your voice back when I am done. As I was saying, Athena was bought here when her heart stopped beating and it took a lot from myself and my mother to send her back. As you were taught when you were younger, every wolf gets the chance to return, to have their spirit reborn into another human vessel. I gave up my chance so your sister could have her life back, the life she had barely had a chance to live. I also gave up yours. So let it be known Vanessa that when you do die your wolf because of both your actions she will not no peace. She will not get to be reborn. That dear child is your punishment. Now before I send you back, I am to tell you that you don't have long left. If I were you, I'd make peace with your demons while you still can. Unlike my mother I can see your future and that's only because I have renounced my ties to you. I no longer consider you my family. How my daughter still holds love for you I'd never know though I wish I had her strength. Goodbye Vanessa" With her last words I felt myself being violently pulled back to my surroundings, a feeling of stretching and tugging consuming me. My eyes snapped open at the feeling only to find I was chained to the bed in my room, the damage all removed leaving the room looking pristine once again. Only when I looked down, I screamed. My bump had grown, and I could now feel her moving. My grandmother was right my time was coming and by the looks of it, it would be soon. I just needed to hope that Axel came for me before the pup arrived.
