Chapter 22

Mikaela’s POV

“Vincent, you and I can go to my office to talk, let’s leave the ladies alone to finish their conversation.” Greyson pulls the man of my dreams away from me.

Vincent, that’s his name, I can’t believe this, I thought it was just a dream, but he is real, and not only that, but to think that he is a werewolf? Am I dreaming now? I look around as if I am being filmed to get my reaction to this bombshell that Autumn just dropped on me, then to find out that not only Vincent is a werewolf, but she and Greyson are as well, I finally find my voice “what? What about my baby?” I then gasp as fear comes over me “Are you going to eat me?” Autumn laughs and says “no, dear, we don’t hurt humans” I look at her and ask her “What about Vampires? Witches? I mean should we worry about Bella and Edward getting thirsty? Maybe Voldamort wants to curse us with his wand? Nope, not buying this. I don’t know what you people are up to, but I don’t want to be a part of your game.” Autumn sighs, “well we can’t stop the witches, they will always be around, but because of our existence we have eliminated vampires”

I stand there stunned by what she just said. Is she serious? I think I am going to pass out. I feel dizzy and my fingers begin to shake as I sit down and soon it’s my whole body that is shaking. Within the last ten minutes I have learned that werewolves, witches and vampires exist. I wonder what else exists? Aliens? Fairies? Leprechauns? “What about the baby? Will it be a werewolf too?” She nods and says “yes, and a powerful one too, because Greyson is alpha his bloodline holds power, so your baby girl is going to be a strong wolf.”

“How do you know it’s a girl?”

“Well for two reasons, number one, if you were having a boy, you would be almost ready to pop with your pup, sons of alphas grow at an extremely fast rate, pregnancy only lasts four months with a male”

“FOUR MONTHS?”

“Yes, and seeing that you really aren’t showing yet, you are having a girl, also when you came inside, Greyson told me he could smell her.”

What the fuck did she just say? “Smell her?”

“Werewolves can smell their unborn, we have a heightened sense of smell, and everyone has a unique smell” I roll my eyes as I think to myself well that explains everything, I just start laughing, “I swear I am losing my mind, I just can’t wrap my head around this.” She gives me an understanding look with a small half smile as she reaches out and touches my hand, I flinch just slightly and let out a breath and relax at her touch.

“Mikaela, I know this is so confusing, and unexpected, I can only imagine how you must be feeling.”

I look at her “unexpected? To say the least, I mean lady I don’t know if you are crazy or if I am, how could all of this be real and the rest of the world be oblivious to your existence, I mean it is just so shocking”

She pats my hand and sighs “I know , dear, imagine my shock when I found out you existed.”

Touché, Autumn, touché

She quickly adds “I know it’s not the same thing, but still.” I nod and smile at her. I dare to ask her “so, you still haven’t told me why I have this connection to Vincent? Why do I keep dreaming about him?”

Autumn is hesitant but sighs and explains that I am Vincent’s soul mate, destined by the moon goddess, this is too much, way too much, mate? I’m am supposed to be “mated” to a werewolf? How can this be? How can humans be connected to this world? I ask Autumn after a few minutes of stunned shock on my part, “I don’t understand, if this ‘moon goddess’ is the one to determine mates then why would she choose a human who knows nothing about the existence of you all, I mean why?”

“Well, we don’t know why, it just sometimes happens. Do you feel anything towards Vincent?” I think about her question, do I feel anything? I mean we just met and briefly before Greyson pulled him away after Autumn told me they were werewolves. It certainly explains the recurring dream, I mean it also makes sense now that she told me about he and I being soul mates and that is why I kept dreaming about him. I think about my dream and how I can see every detail and how I always felt safe when he was a wolf. I think how I would feel if those dreams went away and I suddenly felt depressed and I realized that I did feel something for him. I nod my head and tell her that I have feelings for him, it’s crazy, I just met him, how could this be? She smiles and says “okay, good because he will crushed if you rejected him” but I wonder how he will feel when he finds out that I am pregnant with Greyson’s baby, maybe he will be okay with it, Autumn seems to be taking it well.

It’s then I hear a ferocious growl and furniture crashing and Autumn comes and stands in front of me as a large wolf, not just any wolf, but the wolf I have seen in my dreams comes to my view. Autumn says “Vincent, you are scaring her.” He makes his way around the room stalking closer to me and he tries to move past Autumn but she stands ready to defend me and he then sniffs towards my belly and he then cries out a heartbreaking howl, and he takes off running and jumps through a window sending glass flying. Autumn sighs and relaxes as she takes in Greyson’s appearance when he comes into view. “He just needs time” Greyson’s voice replaces the sad cries of the wolf fading the further he runs from me. Guilt racks me and I am not sure why, I had no idea that I was someone’s mate, I never thought much about finding the one, I just thought that when I got married that it would be someone who would accept me the way that I am. I never thought I would have to convince a wolf that I was worthy of his love. Despite the rational part of me saying that all of this is crazy, I feel a sense of sadness and loneliness at his leaving. “I guess he didn’t take the baby news too well” I say as a tear escapes my eye. Autumn just hugs me trying to comfort me as I cry on her shoulder over possibly losing the man of my dreams even though I just met him and he is a wolf. I think I need to have my head examined.
