Chapter 121
Auren POV
Over the next few days. I started feeling lazy. I didn’t want to attend the meetings and even Sienna was sleeping more inside me A sluggish feeling settled over me. Sometimes I would sleep through the afternom, only to wake up when Lucien returned home. He was begging to get worried. ti felt like the curse had started to work.
Tiscard the end of the sixth month, my belly had swelled and I looked positively pregnant. But something bizarre w
was also happening with mr. I had started seeing spiders around me. Often, I would see two shadows with whips in their hands. Reya and Hyra. Maris’s minions. They would come to me and lift their whips to hit me. The moment I screamed, their shadows would disintegrate and everything would disappear. One such. night. Lucien pulled me into his lap and rocked me until I fell asleep. He didn’t leave me until morning, and only then was I able to take a good
“What is happening to me?” I asked him with my face buried in his chest.
He stroked my hair and back. “Nothing,” he said, but through our band I could feel his anxiety, his desperation. “You’ll be fine, love.”
Water splashed over my cheek. Surprised, when I looked up at him, I found him in tears, “Lucien!” I said, wiping his tears
“Oh, Auren!” he said in a hoarse voice and pulled me closer to him. “I love you so much. I don’t want you to die. Tell me what should I do to break this fucking curve?
Emotions choked my throat. “Nothing. Just raise our pup.” I murmured. Goddess, I loved him so much, and I wanted to live with him Forever.
“No” he shook his head, his heart clenching with misery. “Il follow you wherever you go. I can’t–I just can’t think of living without you”
“Lucien “I couldn’t tolerate his misery that was flowing in waves through our bond and started crying. “If you’re going to be weak, imagine what would happen to me?”
That morning both of us stayed curled into each other. The weight of the curse was finally settling on our shoulders.
He helped me with the bath and said, “Do you want breakfast here or would you like to go down with me?”
I took a deep breath in “Yes, I will come down” Staying inside the room was dreary.
As soon as I was down, Belle came over. “Luna, I’ve made chamomile tea for you. I see that you’re not feeling well these days. This will relax you.”
Her sea did relax me. I nodded and she placed the tea in front of me. Belle’s tea therapy was working great with me. It calmed me a lot. I was losing my appetite and this was the only thing I liked. “Thanks Belle. Your tea is great.”
She offered a small smile, lowered her head like a sweet omega and went back to the kitchen. Vivi came out with trays of breakfast. “I’ve made special chicken salad for you, my Luna” she said as she placed it in front of me. This contains sprouts, cucumber, spinach, yoghurt and mozzarella cheese You’ll love it! I could see that she was pushing me with a smile through her worries.
I chuckled. “Thanks Vivi
I had the tea first and then took a spoonful of salad. As I pushed the salad on my plate, I fell a strange sensation. Like ants were crawling over my body. I looked at my arms and saw big red ants crawling up. I screamed. “Ants!” Lucien jumped up and came to me. I pointed at my arms. “There

“Auren?” he said, touching me. “There’s nothing baby
I revoiled in his touch. How could he be so stuje to my misery? And why could he see the ants? I scratched myself, drawing blood. “Remove these!” shouted as they but me. I got up and ran upstairs with Lucien running after me. I dashed into the bathroom and dived into the tub opening the faucet and the shower overhead over the, as I continued to scratch myself. Lucien had to restrain my hand to stop me.
He opened his mind link and called Dr. Elias. I want you here right now!‘ he lurked.
After about twenty minutes, the ants retreated. I sank the shower with scratches on my neck, and arms. Crying, I looked up at lum. “Th–they’re

gone
Lucien stared at me with helplessness from outside the tub. “There was none, love. What is happening to you?”
I clung to his thighs and let out a sob. “I don’t know. I don’t know! Is our pup safe? I hope I haven’t harmed our pup”
“No, you haven’t,” he reassured me.
Elias came immediately after. Lucien dried me with a towel and took me to bed. Elias asked me various questions as he applied cream to my arms and neck. “Since when did the hallucinations start?”
1 flopped on the pillow. “A month ago.”
“What Why didn’t you tell me?” Lucien asked, both astonished and angered.
ut I’m tired of it. Lucien Save
I shook my head. “It started with spiders raining on me, and now this. Earlier I thought it was all a part of the curse. But I’m me. I whimpered.
He sat at the edge of the bed and held my hand. “You’ve been suffering for a month and you didn’t bother to tell me about it?”
“I–I didn’t want to add my worries to your life. You know this has to happen, right?”
Shut up!” he seethed. “You are my priority. Above everything else. If you’re there, I’m there! When the fuck will you understand it?”
“And what else do you feel?” Elias intervened.
“I feel sluggish all the time, Dr. Elias,” I said in a wary voice. “It’s got nothing to do with your medical science. It’s the curse…
if I do a blood test?”
He sighed. “Is it okay if
I nodded. “You may, but I’m fine.”
“You don’t look fine to me, Luna Auren,” he replied with a rough exhale. “Can you tell me what all you are eating?”
As I told him the things I was eating, he drew my blood. “I’ll send the results of the test by evening. Until then, I suggest that you only have fruits”
I found his request odd, but I said, “Okay but I insist that this is all about the curse. Your medical science can do nothing” Misery coated my soul, and I broke into a fresh bout of tears. I was dying in three months…
