Duke povWe stand watching Kat and Helen hug before Kat eases back."you should be in bed mama",she sniffles and wipes her face."no I need to be here with you, Helen was determined to fix things, I wasn't always there for you but I will be now. I'm staying here honey",I watched my mate hug and kiss her daughter and wipe tears away. "beta,I hear in the mind link, more rogues showed up",I hold in a growl and turn to face the warriors standing around."we got more at the border, I mouth rogues, I need some to go there and a few stay here with our Luna and beta female",they rush off and I turn to watch my mate. I had doc bring her pain pills and make sure our newborn pups were okay."Sean, I hear Kat say softly, can you check on the pups for me",she was sitting in her mate's room way to quiet. Jonathan was alive but the poison was fucking with him and the antidote was barely working. "Kat, I touch her arm, you need to eat. You both do I'm ordering food and I want you and your mom to eat
Duke povJonathan and I jerk awake and leave to go to the threat thinking our mates are safe but we were wrong.Once outside the a few rogues snuck into the hospital and headed to our mates. Kat was on using the bathroom and when she came out her mom was gone. Helen barely got a mind link through that she was in trouble. "Duke, I heard her breathless voice, please help me the rogues got me",I wanted to flip out but remained calm."where baby?",I mind link back."eastern border ",comes back faintly. "Jonathan rogues got in the hospital took Helen",he roared running back to check on Kat. Seeing her okay he looked at me with worry."I was in the bathroom I'm sorry,Kat whimpered ,I didn't know they took her Duke. I'm so sorry",she started crying for her mom. It broke my heart."your fine Kat I'm going to where Helen said they had her",Johnathan and warriors followed. I prayed my mate was alive because every mind link went unanswered. Jonathan tried but nothing. We ran and got there to se
Duke povMy mate is gone and I'm still sitting on the floor staring at the bed holding her body. I only got a few days with her and I fucking hate it. She gave me two beautiful pups before her death and I'm totally lost. Kat is sedated now she flipped out screaming so Jonathan had her sedated.My pups have no mother now thanks to Fred, Edith and Dwight. All three are dead I made sure of that and right in front of their pack. Whoever blindly followed them were dead. The women were still sitting on our pack grounds but none tried to flee. "Duke, I hear Jonathan but don't move, can I help you up?",tears still run down my face but I make no moves to wipe them.She is gone."no",I whisper my throat hoarse from screaming and crying. "I'm here Duke, he sits beside me, I'm here if you need me brother",I don't look at him my focus stays on my mate willing her to come back. "beta, I hear doc above us, it is time to move her",I hear how his voice wobbles the poor man tried for three hours to b
Duke pov May is still in bed and nothing I mean absolutely nothing I say works. She just doesn't care one bit."you don't have to be here, she doesn't turn to look at me, just go mourn and take care of your pups",so she wants us out. "I'm beta I can stay where I want",she just sighs."just go Duke I'm in no mood to fight",she really is withdrawn Silas whimpers. Mate wants death he adds choking up."I will come back later",she doesn't respond and I walk out heading to the office. Walking in Kat sighs as she sits on the couch."were you with her?",I glance at her."yes",she glares at me."my mom hasn't been dead long and your moving on",yes this is bitter Kat and I ignore her shit."it has been over a year and I fucking let my second chance mate sit in a fucking cell to please you and everybody else!, she looks surprised I'm pissed and yelling, now she is refusing her meds and food so she can die. You may get your fucking wish Kat but know this I would not wish this pain on anyone!! ",
May povI'm holding the cutest little boy ever as he eats pancakes and I drink my broth. I had to explain I was sick and unable to eat pancakes with him and he looked sad."I share with you",but I nod no."sorry baby I can't eat that yet but when I can I will share with you",I absolutely love kids but I won't let Duke know that. He probably doesn't want me in any way because I was raped. I still have freaking nightmares and flashbacks."okay we snuggle?",I look at him and melt."sure but first I gotta potty",he giggles something I love to hear. Duke looks at him and looks relieved I bet this little guy misses his mom so damn much. I push the call light and doc walks in."you rang?",I smile."I gotta potty",I smile at Lucas softly. He pushes my blanket back and tries to help me up but I stop him."I'm to big baby, I ruffle his hair, but thanks I come back we can snuggle and watch cartoons ",he nods happy and I walk to the bathroom and hold in tears. I always wanted pups but I know damn
Duke povI felt her fucking panic attack and heard her scream no over and over. I got inside and she was in a corner sobbing. Pulling her in my arms I'm met with resistance and I hate it. I should of never told her I didn't want her or she would never be a mom. Her panic attacks alone make me feel sick. That bastard raped my mate numerous times and I couldn't kill him."your fine, I soothe rubbing her hair, just relax",she hiccups and I find it cute. She tries to take a few deep breaths to calm herself. She has these alone Silas hisses at me."I'm okay you can let me up now",she wants to leave my arms but I refuse to let go."stay still",I order gruffly. "I'm good now I just want to lay down Duke",she yawns so I stand and head to her room. Her eyes hold fear but all I do is lay us down and snuggle her. She is shaking as I rub her arms and back."who did it?",I wait as she shudders."all of them, her voice breaks, Dwight, Fred and Mark all did it. His bitch Edith watched",she whimpers
May povI wake and I'm not alone but I slept better then I ever had in years.I slowly open my eyes and Duke stayed all night which surprised me. I try to move but he holds on."a few more minutes Helen ",I hold in tears and wretch myself away angry he called me her name. He came awake shocked but I stormed off and slammed the door. I locked it and he sighed loud"May I'm sorry",he called through the door but I ignored him. He called me her name and it hurts.Its fine you can go",I brush my teeth tears swimming in my eyes."I'm really sorry I know your not her May",of course he knows but it still fucking hurts."it's fine Duke just go do what you need to I'm okay",he sighs and I wash my face but more tears fall. He hurt me again but I do know it wasn't intentional this time."come out May",he is still here. I sigh and look at my face you can't tell I cried guess that is a good thing. I open the door and he looks at me worried. "see I'm fine Duke you can go",he sighs."I didn't mean to
Duke povShe scared the life from Jonathan and me waking up screaming like that. We both scrambled for her as she scooted away after jerking awake. Took a few for her to realize she was safe and here not back with them."I wish I can gut them all",I mind link Jonathan as she clings to me which is progress to me because before she didn't want close to me at all. The talk we had was all over the place but we talked and I hope to have more talks with her. She is on my lap as I work and I'm purring to calm her. Jonathan is even purring which makes me smile. He looked gutted when she yelled no not again and it hit me hard. She can't keep being alone at her apartment because these attacks are draining. "is she awake?",he ask in our mind link looking over at us."I think so",I link back. When she fell asleep earlier I put her on the couch and pulled my shirt back on. I covered her up and Jonathan walked in and went to work. We both were working when she screamed loud scaring us. "think she
