Chapter 246 - Prove Dawn Wrong

"Get Pia's ultrasound done," said Dawn. "If she is pregnant, then I am going to excuse her from this trauma. You see I am not the type who will hurt pregnant women. I am about to have a baby and I understand what it is to be a mother. I can't even think that you would lose your baby because I relate to that immediately. How would I feel if I lose my baby? Heck how would I feel if I lose anyone in my life? I lost my parents and that was such a shocker that it had taken a lot of time for Cole and me to come out. Considering that, how could you even think that I would give you stress and that too much stress that you lose your baby? Heck! I don't even talk to you. The last we talked was so many months back. In fact you had always tried to jeopardize my life as Daryn's wife, as his Luna." 

Her face twisted and her eyes narrowed. Her anger was bursting like lava from an active volcano. "Is playing games about death as easy as writing on paper? Is playing a game about death for your advantage, morally correct? How could you do that? That's a life we are speaking of. For God's sake if you are truly pregnant, you wouldn't have done that, and that makes me question your maturity level." Dawn choked. "I am about to become a mother Pia. Thinking about taking away life when I am about to give birth to it? No one does that unless they belong to the wild. Though even jungles have their rules. And you… you are beyond redemption…" A tear ran down her cheek. "Do you even love Caleb?" 

Daryn pressed her thigh. "Don't cry baby…" he said tenderly. He could sense how much Dawn was hurt. This accusation was so hideous that it affected her internally. She had to be admitted to the hospital. How could people use something as sacred as pregnancy, convert it into miscarriage and use it for their gains. It was not unethical, it was sinful—to play a joke like that with life. He looked at Pia and said, "Think of your mother when she gave life to you." 

There was silence in the room. Dawn snapped her fingers and the magic that bound Sedora and Pia vanished. She was fed up with this game. She wanted to leave. Her body trembled. She was about to get up when Caleb said, "Pia, I need you to get your ultrasound done." He recalled what she had told him as to why she married him. It wrung his heart on the inside. 

Pia turned sharply at him. "No I won't!" she lashed. "This vile woman is saying things and you are getting swayed? There is no proof that I staged this drama. There is no proof that I wasn't pregnant. Every proof shows that I was expecting a baby and I miscarried because of her. I am going to get her banned from the clan." 

Caleb took in a deep breath. He cursed as to who did he even marry… How could he fall in love with a woman like her? Was she here only to become the Luna of the Silver Clan? 

"Oh we have the proof Pia!" said Daryn. "Fiora has spoken to my people." 

Pia was now cornered. She looked at Sedora for help, but Sedora had a stone face. She wasn't even thinking about the situation. She was staring blankly. 

Daryn spoke. "This morning Fiora was taken into custody by my beta, Neal. And you know him. He made sure that she speaks. He is one ruthless guy. Though even he couldn't do much to her because she was expecting. But Fiora broke after a few threats. He had to take her husband, Danny who was given some treatment."

"Pia, let's get your ultrasound done. I know you are pregnant and you did all this just to get Dawn out of the way. I understand that. Don't worry. We are just going to get your checkup done and then we can throw proof on their face. Dawn is willing to spare you provided you give her the proof that you are expecting," said Caleb in a loving tone. He truly believed that she was about to have his baby. He stroked her hair affectionately. 

"Willing to spare me?" said Pia baring her teeth. "Who the hell does she think she is? And who the hell do you think I am? I am a pureblooded werewolf and she is a neotide! Don't forget the difference. I am the elder daughter-in-law of this household, married to the older brother, the rightful heir! Who is Dawn to even think of sparing me? If at all someone has to be spared, that is Dawn!" She got up from her place. "I refuse to get any ultrasound done." She realized that Dawn had thrown such a trap at her that if she agreed that she was not pregnant, then she was going to get accused of framing up the miscarriage, which would be a heinous crime. And if she agreed that she was pregnant, then the ultrasound would reveal the truth. Dawn had wielded a double-edged sword. If she wanted she would get her banned instead. The only way to get out of it was to take an offense. So she rose to stomp out of the dining room. 

Caleb jumped to his feet and stopped her by standing in front of her. His face was red with anger. He caught her nape and said, "No Pia. This time you don't go. In fact to prove Dawn wrong, I am going to get your ultrasound done now." 

Dawn's lips curled up. "Yes Pia, prove me wrong."

"You are not going to fall in her trap Caleb!" Pia said in a hoarse voice. 

"Leave her Caleb," Sedora demanded in a cold voice. "Listen to her. She is much above this neotide over here. Let her go." She got up from her place and was about to wave her hand when once again she found herself frozen in her place. She looked at Dawn, but Dawn wasn't even interested in her. Her mind was in complete shock as to how she was performing magic. 

Caleb disregarded his mother. He pushed Pia outside the room while holding her nape. With his free hand, he dug his pocket to find his phone and called Pia's doctor whose number was saved in his favorites. 

"We need an ultrasound done now," he snarled on the phone. 

"B— but what happened?" asked the doctor. Her tone was like that of a scaredy cat. 

"Stay there when I come," he replied. His words came as a lethal warning. 

"Caleb, don't be mad," Pia said in an attempt to escape this situation. 

"What are you afraid of love?" his voice guttural. Saying that he left her nape and picked her up in his arms. Then he turned his face to Dawn and said, "Would you like to join us? Because if my wife is pregnant, you got to see the evidence." 

"No Caleb. I don't want to join you," she replied. 

"Oh no! I insist that you come with us." 

Dawn took in a deep breath. 

"Come baby," said Daryn. He coaxed her into going to the hospital.
