My Alpha's Final Choice

Lucy's POV

“Lucy! You have to come with me now!” Layla yelled at me as we heard gunshots outside the house. The rogue war was at its peak, during the times. Rival packs invaded every now and then, so we had to defend ourselves.

“I think staying inside will be the best option.” I said to her. I was scared to go outside for many reasons.

First, my alpha, Alpha Fabian, was not around. As his Luna, I had to make sure the affairs of the estate were always kept in order.

Second, when the rival packs invaded, they never made it into the estate. The estate was a safer zone, as such, we were safer inside than outside.

“Are you crazy?! Don't you hear the gunshots and roars? They're louder now, more than ever, meaning they have found a way to infiltrate. We better find our way out of this place if not you and your unborn child will not see daylight.” She explained.

Her words caused me to panic. I was five months pregnant for the next alpha. I cared about my baby more than I did myself. I was a fierce Luna, but ever since I found out I was carrying another life inside me, I feared everything. No for myself, but for him, who was in me.

“Let's go then!” I said to her and we both ran out of the estate.

It was surprising to see Layla be this caring and concerned for my safety. I would swear it wasn't her.

Layla was Alpha Fabian's ex Luna. She abandoned him when he was in a critical condition and everyone thought he was going to die.

When Alpha Fabian became well, we discovered we were mates and we got married. Few years later, she came back to take her place, but I guess it was too late. I was already with him, plus the fact that I was pregnant for him.

She had grown to hate me like I was a disease. She never did anything good for me and always looked for the best ways to berate me. Alpha Fabian never really said anything about her negative behaviors towards me. He even brought her to live in the estate with her.

This was why her sudden concern for me felt off. It was very unlike her.

She led me through the tunnel, out of the estate and into the woods.

It was raining very heavily, with a non stop thread of lightning strikes.

“Follow me!” She yelled as she went deeper into the woods. “I don't think running blind like this is the best idea. Why don't we wait here and call on Alpha Fabian and the guards?” I suggested.

“We are still too close to the rival armies. They will catch up and kill us.” She told me. Anytime she talked about them killing us, I feared for my baby who was yet to feel the air of the real world and see his mother's face. I followed her, just to save his life.

It seemed everything was going well and we were free from the rogue soldiers because the gunshots and roars began to fade from our ears.

However, we could not see through the darkness and the deep pit stationed in the woods wasn't observed.

Layla first fell into the pit, then I did. I saw her fall, but was too fast and too close to her to stop in time.

“Oh my God!” I yelled out.

“We are stuck!”

The heavy rain was beating us and surface water from all directions found their way into the same pit, so the water built up slowly.

When we fell in, the water was at knee level.

We tried climbing out, but it was not possible. The pit was so big and the walls were flat.

“How do we get out of here?!” She asked me. “You're the one more versatile and without a baby in your womb. You should figure something out.” I said to her.

She was basically as clueless as I was, so we had to take the last option. I mind linked Alpha Fabian and gave him a hint of where we were and that we were in danger.

We now had to wait for him to show up and save us. He was our only hope.

It took many minutes before he arrived. By then, the water was already reaching our necks.

Hearing us scream, he easily spotted us in the thick woods.

“What the hell happened here?!” He was shocked when he saw us and the condition we were in.

“We were trying to get away from the rival soldiers and we fell.” Layla said.

“Please help us out!” I said to him and I stretched my hands to him. The water was an inch away from my mouth.

“Help me!” Layla shouted too. “I have been injured.” She added, acting like she was having a panic attack.

I knew she wasn't telling the truth. She never said anything about a wound when we entered and she definitely did not have any panic attacks. She was definitely fine until he showed up.

Hearing this, he went to her and helped her up. “You are a better swimmer, you can help yourself.” My Alpha said to me, pushing my fingers violently and this causing them to break when I touched him. He didn't even care that I was pregnant. I saw him carry Layla and run off, ignoring my screams. Soon, the water covered me up and I could not find my way out.

I felt my life drain out of me as I drowned to the bottom of the pit and the last thing I saw with my living eyes was my husband running, choosing his ex mate over him and our unborn child, while leaving me behind to die.
