Chapter 56: August's POV
"I'm pregnant," I squeezed his hand. He remained quiet for a second, I took that as my queue to spew out words. "I threw up while you were at your meeting, and then Brantley brought me up to his and Aasira's room, and he gave me a test I took it an-" Alexandre cut me off by pulling me to him.
"You're pregnant?" He choked out, a broad smile spread across his face. "You have our pup growing inside of you?" He pressed his hand to my flat stomach, I nodded my head, tears began welling up in my eyes. I placed my hand over my mates, where our baby was.
"I actually wanted to get checked out with you here because of what happened yesterday," I explained. "That Alpha crashed into me hard, and my stomach was in a knot the entire day after that. I just wanted to make sure everything was alright." I took a shaky breath. Still afraid something may have happened.
"Let's get a shower first, and we'll go straight there, I'm sure we can get someone to help you." He got to his feet, pulling me into his embrace.
Once we were clean, Alexandre took me to the infirmary. There was Alpha's laying in the beds, most of them injured pretty severely. One that really stuck out to me was Alpha Ethan. He looked like he was thrown in a shredder. Claw marks marred his skin, his mate was holding his hand sobbing for her mate.
She noticed that we had walked into the room, giving me a disgusted look. She pulled the curtain to Ethan's area shut so they could have some privacy.
"Shouldn't have attacked my pregnant mate, let alone said the shit he did about you when he challenged me. He got knocked down to size really quick." Alexandre chuckled, squeezing my hand tightly.
"You did that?" My eyes widened. "He didn't challenge anyone else first?" I looked up at my mate.
"I had a lot of Alpha's challenge me first before even attempting someone closer in rank to them." He rolled his eyes. "Idiots."
"Hello, Alpha Alexandre, is everything alright? Did we miss something?" The submissive asked my mate, tucking her hair behind her ear.
"I'm alright, but we need to have a check-up with my mate, Alpha Ethan rammed into my mate yesterday, and today we discovered my Luna is pregnant. We just want to make sure the pup is alright." Alexandre motioned to me. She glanced down to me, a look of repugnance graced her face for a split second before she slapped a fake smile on her face.
"Unfortunately, we can't help you with that here; we're quite booked today, as you know. There should be open beds in the Omega Residence outback. They have their own infirmary." She pointed in the direction of the house I had initially seen when we had first arrived.
"So if I needed help, you would be able to accommodate me, but my mate-" I cut Alexandre off, I was clearly upset and not wanted in this area of the packhouse. Something I knew would have possibly been a problem actually turned out to be a problem.
"It's fine Xandre, I think I would feel a little more comfortable in the Omega Residence anyhow. They would know a little more than anyone else about what's going on with me." I explained, rubbing my stomach. A scowl covered her face, I returned the look to the woman. I wasn't oblivious to how she was looking at my mate. It was clear she was attracted to him.
"If you say so, love." He wrapped his arm around my shoulder, guiding me out of the packhouse. "I'm sorry that we even have to do this." He hugged me to his side.
"It's okay, I'd rather be in the infirmary in the Omega Residence than stay in an infirmary where several Alpha's that you've fought today are at. I feel like some of the Luna's have it out for me at the moment." I leaned my head against him.
"That makes sense." When we got to the door of the Omega Residence, Alexandre sharply knocked on the door. A short Omega woman opened the door, her eyes widened at the sight of Alexandre, and she tucked her head to her chest to show her submission to my mate.
"How may I help you, Alpha?" She asked.
"My mate needs to have a check-up; we found out he's carrying my pup today. Yesterday he was attacked by another Alpha. We just want to make sure all is right with our pup." He explained to the small Omega.
"We're not allowed to let Dominants enter the residence unless it's our Alpha, Beta, or Delta." She cowered back when she explained that he couldn't come in as if he were going to lash out at her.
"Well, technically, I'm an Alpha." He clarified, motioning his hand to himself. "I just want to be there for my mate and my pup."
"Ursula, just let them in already." Someone drawled, opening the door wider. "The man just wants to make sure his pup's good." The Omega directed us in the house, pulling us through the halls, to a door with a plaque on the door that I could not read. He opened the door, and in the room had two medical beds in it. Much smaller than the infirmary that Alexandre and I had just been in.
The Omega nurse that was sitting on his computer jumped to his feet when the door opened. He was taken aback to see me with my mate behind me, towering over the three of us. "H-How can I help you?" He stuttered, pushing his thick-rimmed glasses.
"He just wants to check if his pup's alright. Something about an Alpha knockin' into him or something." The Omega pointed to me.
The nurse nodded his head, and the Omega that led us here skipped out of the room. "Um, please sit down on the bed, Luna." He quietly said, pointing to the bed that had a machine next to it.
He began checking my vitals, taking a blood sample and gave me a cup with a lid. He explained that I would need to provide him with a urine sample. Once I was done with that, he ran the tests he needed to run. He then told me to lay on the bed and lift my shirt up. He plugged the machine up and began type in the information.
"So, when was your last heat?" He asked.
"The day after my birthday, the 23rd of January," Alexandre told the nurse for me.
The Omega hummed, typing on the computer. The nurse then turned the screen toward us, grabbed a gel off the counter in a heating device, and put some on my lower abdomen. He put the gel bottle down on the machine, grabbed the wand attached to the machine, and pressed it against my stomach. An image appeared on the screen, and the Omega moved the wand around, pushing the rod down on my abdomen.
"So it looks like you're pregnant," He hummed, peering at the machine. The nurse pointed his finger to a small speck on the screen. "But it's too early to tell if something is wrong, you're fairly early in the pregnancy. Usually, there isn't a heartbeat until around 8 weeks, so you'll need to do a check-up around then to ensure your pup's health. You're only around 4 weeks along, so things will be hard to determine at the moment." He explained, pulling the wand away from my stomach, flipping the machine off. He met my eyes, trying to give me a look of sympathy.
"So, you don't even know if everything is alright?" Alexandre asked, grabbing my hand, squeezing it.
"I'm sorry, Alpha, there's not much I can do when the pup is small and doesn't even have a heartbeat yet. I want to say everything is alright because your Luna would have begun to bleed if something was wrong. I can't guarantee that, though." The nurse got to his feet and grabbed a towel, cleaning the gel off of my stomach. "I'll run the tests, and those still won't be able to tell me much. Other than if your Luna is healthy enough to carry."
"He's obviously healthy enough to carry," Alexandre grumbled, obviously getting upset. I squeezed Alexandre's hand, silently telling him to calm down.
"I would just recommend for your Luna to not do any strenuous activities, I would recommend not flying, but you do have to go home, so when you arrive home, no leaving." He explained, opening a cabinet above his sink, he handed me a pack of pills. "Make sure you take one of these a day, they're prenatal vitamins. I'll be running the tests just in case you need something else. I'll get with our pack healer later this evening, he'll communicate with your pack healer." He explained.
"Thank you." I sat up on the bed. My mind buzzed from the thought of not knowing that one hundred percent if our pup was alright. I don't think I could possibly wait 4 more weeks to know about our pup's well being.
"Again, just take my advice, rest, don't go out on morning runs with your mate, there's a bunch of Alpha's around who don't like your presence here."
"Exactly, that's why he was with me when we went on that run." Alexandre strained his voice. I could feel his stress through our bond. "I don't feel safe leaving him alone."
"You can take him here to the Omega Residence while you do your run; dominants other than our higher-ups aren't allowed inside." The nurse sat back down in his seat, crossing his arms. "Technically, you're not allowed inside because you're not in our pack." He raised his brow to my mate.
"I wouldn't do anything to you guys anyways." Alexandre rolled his eyes.
"We know, but if our superiors find out, not only will I be in trouble, so will others for letting you even get back here to the infirmary. Like I said, I'll run the tests; if anything major comes up, I'll make sure you're made aware of it. Again just drop off your mate here in the mornings while you do your normal duties. I believe tomorrow you'll be gone until the evening because of the hunting trip you're supposed to make with the Alpha's tomorrow. We'll make sure he's taken care of." The Omega nodded to Alexandre, still averting his eyes from my mate.
"Okay, I'll make sure he comes here tomorrow," Alexandre agreed.

Later in the evening, we sat in the grand dining room at assigned tables for the formal dinner tonight. Alexandre and I were sitting at the head table, with the top 6 Alpha's. Abram was congratulating the Alpha's that fought hard for their new positions. He explained that we would be free to dance and socialize with other Alphas after our dinner.
I shifted uncomfortably under the stares of the Alpha's and Luna's that sat at the table. I stuck out like a sore thumb at this table despite Abram being without a mate- well, that they're aware of that is. I wished that Brantley and Aasira, or even Oliver and Amelia sat at the table with me so I would have someone- anyone, to distract me from the stares.
"So I heard you were in my Omega Residence today," Abram started, jabbing his fork in the almost raw steak sitting in front of him.
"We needed to get a check-up with August; he was attacked by Ethan yesterday morning," Alexandre responded, wiping his mouth with his towel. "We found out today he's pregnant."
"Congrats," Abram responded with his mouth full. "It's weird, though. I didn't hear that August was attacked. I heard it was the other way around, that the Omega seduced Ethan and that you caught August sucking Ethan's cock. Hence his bruised up face." He nodded his head over to Ethan across the room. He had been knocked down twenty ranks because of him not being able to defend his positioning due to Alexandre taking him out first.
I sat my fork down, no longer having an appetite to eat. I can't believe that was the lie Ethan had spread around about me. That was disgusting. I furrowed my brows in frustration.
Alexandre only laughed. "Yeah, right. In reality, he knocked August down, and August fought back, subduing Ethan. If I saw that, he would no longer be alive. What I did today during the challenges that was nothing compared to what I'd do if he forced my mate to do anything like that. Either way you look at it, he would be in the wrong."
"That does make more sense," Abram explained, nodding in agreement with Alexandre, the other Alpha's looked shocked that he had done so. "I guess what Amahle explained was correct."
"We have no reason to lie, I think he's been knocked down enough to get rid of that ego of his." Alexandre laughed, his expression turned dark. "If anything is wrong with my pup when we have to go to August's next check-up, not even the moon goddess herself will be able to hold me back from killing him."
The other Alpha's surprisingly nodded in agreement with Alexandre. One thing Alpha's had in common, their mates and their children were their main focus before the pack. So if their mate was hurt, they would go through hell and back to ensure their mate's wellbeing.
I know Alexandre would do just that for me.
