Werewolf Girlfriend: Anna Part 4 (special preview)

Arlen kisses my neck. “Once this semester is done, I’ll be able to transfer to a school that must closer.” He brushes his hand through my hair. “I’ll be able to live in Hearthway Hollow and commute.”

I feel tears spring up and I lock my arms around him. “That would be so wonderful! But you don’t have to.”

Arlen kisses me, pushing me down into the bed. I feel his heat growing along my hip and I slowly guide him into place. We make love again then and there, without the rut, just us.

When Arlen leaves, his trip has been rescheduled for the following week. As the days go by, I feel normal again. I go back to work and I have to deal with Billy’s awkward conversations until he gets used to me again.

One day, as I’m at work, I get a whiff of the burger joint across the street. I grow unbearably hungry and leave the store in order to get something to eat. I scarf down two burgers and and three large fries without blinking.

After that, I notice my appetite is getting more out of control. I eat like I’m ravenous and nothing seems to satisfy. I start to get a pooch to my belly, but I can’t curb my appetite. 

One day, when Mrs. Locklear comes to the shop, she looks me over and sighs. “Something is different about you Anna.”

I huff. “Yeah, I’ve put on a little weight. I’ve just been so hungry,” I grumble. “I mean, I just had my rut, maybe that has something to do with it.”

Mrs. Locklear’s eyes widen. “Arlen was up right?” She waves her finger up and down me. “During that little episode?”

I shake my head. “Yeah, it was really sweet.”

Mrs. Locklear’s lips press into a firm line as she tries to hide her smile. “Anna dear,” she chuckles, glancing over as Billy comes out from the back. “You’ve got a pup.”

Billy drops everything and turns to look at me. “Anna?”

I stare wide eyed and slack jawed. “No that’s-” I stop, realizing how high that probability is. “Oh.” I slide my hands over my belly.

Billy is suddenly by my side. “What do you need? I’ll call Maria!” He dashes off to get his phone, always excited when puppies are about to be born.

Mrs. Locklear sighs and puts her arm around me. “I’ll take you to the pharmacy. We’ll get a big soda and a little test.”

After out small trip, I’ve locked myself in the bathroom at work. As I wait for the results to appear, I’m not exactly sure how to feel. I don’t feel bad about it, if I’m pregnant that’s actually fine with me. 

Billy knocks on the door. “It’s time Anna,” he says.

“I will say when it is time!” I snap at him. I then take a deep breath and look at the test. Sure enough, it reads positive.
