His Rejected Mate

6. A new life.

"What is your name?" They inquired, their eyes searching for any sign of truth in my response.

I stood there, considering whether it was safe to disclose my real name. My heart raced as I weighed the risks of revealing my true identity, the fear of being found overshadowing my desire to be honest. In the end, caution prevailed, and I decided to provide them with a fabricated name.

"My name's Alice," I spoke with a degree of uncertainty, concealing the truth, while my mind raced with the weight of the secret I was determined to protect.

My skepticism weighed heavily as I managed to croak out a question, my voice trembling, "Where am I?"

Nurse Emily began to respond, her words trailing off after just a syllable, "How can you not know your at, Silvercr-"

But before she could continue, Nurse Sophie nudged her gently and took over, her tone reassuring, "You're at Silvercreek pack, dear. We found you outside on the ground, cold and shivering with no clothes. We couldn't leave you like that, so we brought you here to help."

The revelation hit me with a sudden realization. Silvercreek was the second biggest pack, the only one that rivaled my very own, Silvermoon. It was a revelation that left me with a mix of emotions, from astonishment to an underlying sense of vulnerability, given the unfamiliarity of my surroundings.

Their explanation brought a mixture of relief and confusion. The fragmented words of Nurse Emily had piqued my curiosity, but the thought of being found in such a vulnerable state left me feeling vulnerable and bewildered.

Nurse Emily and Nurse Sophie exchanged a concerned glance, their curiosity evident as they continued to inquire about my situation. Nurse Emily gently asked, "Do you remember where you're from, dear? And what were you doing outside the Silvercreek pack borders so late at night with no clothes?"

I bit my lip, fully aware of the answers to their questions, but the fear of what might happen if I divulged the truth kept me silent. A shiver of apprehension ran through me, and I couldn't help but imagine the consequences of speaking up. The idea of being brought back to whatever circumstances had led me to that vulnerable moment filled me with dread.

Nurse Emily and Nurse Sophie, sensing my reticence, exchanged another understanding look, their compassion evident in their eyes. Without pressing further, they simply nodded and continued with their gentle care, offering a sense of security that, for now, outweighed my fear of disclosure.

Nurse Sophie, recognizing my hesitation, spoke softly, "It's alright, dear. We understand you might be scared or not want to talk about it. Just know that we're here to help you, and we'll do our best to make sure you're safe and comfortable."

Nurse Emily cleared her throat gently before sharing, "We ran some tests to make sure you were alright, dear. It was important to ensure your well-being after we found you in such a state."

I couldn't help but look at them in shock, my eyebrows furrowing as I stammered, "You... you ran tests on me without asking? What kind of tests?"

Nurse Sophie responded with a reassuring smile, "I understand you might be surprised, but it was all to make sure you're okay. Please, forgive us if we didn't ask first. We were only concerned for your health."

Nurse Emily continued, "You were burning up last night with a high fever, dear. But today, you're doing perfectly fine. It seems your condition has improved, and that's a good sign."

Their explanation put my mind somewhat at ease, though I was still taken aback by the sudden medical attention I had received. I nodded in understanding, slowly beginning to accept their good intentions.

Nurse Emily and Nurse Sophie exchanged another glance, their expressions filled with a gentle curiosity and concern. Nurse Emily spoke softly, "We noticed something quite unusual. You have the scent of a wolf, but it's not associated with any particular pack or that of a rogue. Can you tell us more about this?"

I remained silent, the weight of my secret pressing on me, keeping my lips sealed.

Nurse Sophie broke the silence, her tone compassionate, "You must be hungry, dear. There's breakfast downstairs, and once you've had a meal, you and your baby are free to go."

I blinked in astonishment, "Baby? What baby?"

Nurse Emily's words hit me like a bolt of lightning, and I could feel my eyes widening in disbelief as she gently placed a hand on my shoulder. Her voice was filled with tenderness as she delivered the unexpected news: "You didn't know? You're with child."

I instinctively placed my hand on my stomach, the realization settling in slowly. When I turned to look at my reflection in the glass, I was taken aback by the dramatic transformation.

My once dark brown hair had turned a stunning snow white, and my tanned skin had become pale and ethereal. My hazel eyes had shifted to a mesmerizing silver, and the change was astonishing. I appeared like a goddess.

The revelation sent a shock-wave through me, rendering me speechless. My mind raced to comprehend the unexpected news.

The discovery of my pregnancy added an entirely new layer of complexity to my situation, one that I hadn't been prepared for, and it left me both amazed and anxious about what lay ahead.
