“Emma how could you do that?”
I whisper in genuine shock“Because he was wrong! You guys needed to hear what she had to say“And we would have heird that from matt and ben, we didnt need to see her, she didnt need to be exposed to our plane, our things”Drake roars, i could feel his anger through the bond, it was pumping through him like blood, he was furious“How could you place her infront of the kids after everything they have been through?”I ask genuinly saddened by her actions“Drake i want to take the moment to apologise for my mates actions, if you would like my resignation i completly understand”“That wont be necasary matt, you are an amazing gamma, and that wont ever change but if we run into any more issues i will take emmas resignation, you will stay on as gamma matt but your mate will be just that, a mate, not a ranked member, she will have no pull or power, understand?”Matt looks reliev“How far along are you?”Caron asks rushing inside and closing the door “I had no idea i was pregnant”I manage to say “Its been very distracting”Fiona mumbles looking at me nervously “Shit, fuck”Caron snaps tapping her head frantically“Drake take of her trousers, fiona get my bag and find towels”They both get busy doing that while layla was sobbing, the loss hitting her before i even have a moment to process it, it was all happening so fast, so many emotions hitting me at once all while i tried to stop myself from screaming through the agony that was getting worse every second As drake pushes me back against the bed i feel something stretch through my core, i scream out as caron looks between my legs “Holy shit its a baby”She calls, “Crap lilly you need to push, its head is out”I scream as my body works on its own, pushing out the baby that i nev
“I’d like that, thank you”Baylee comes rushing over, she hugs me first before she climbs on Cadens knee“Can I stay with you too?”I kiss her little forehead “Ofcourse, why don’t we go up to the apartment, we can watch something while dad plans the wake”I clamp my eyes shut at the last word, the thought of dj and how and why he died hitting me again, making me angry and pissed yet devastated all at the same time. “Come mum I’ll walk you up”Caden whispers, standing up and taking my arm, as we leave the room he stops by the kitchen writing a note then we all head to the tv room in my apartment. It was very early in the morning yet it felt like time no longer existed. The kids choose something to watch as I lay in the corner, missing drake and dj already, the doctor would prepare him for the funeral while drake caught up with mum and dad and everything we had missed while we have been gone. “You ok?”He whispers through mindlink, I co
She pulls back smiling after a little while“Now scoot off out of here, caden and baylee helped evelyn cook dinner to cheer you up, i'll sign your name and nobody will be any wiser”She whispers winking“They cooked?”“Yeah they even made poor ryan and cara take part, it was rather comical, evelyn nearly kicked them all out”I giggle at the thought, it can't be any worse than my cooking and for 10 years i had to make my own food and eat it so i'm sure i could manage to pretend to like whatever the hell it was that they madeI knock on drakes door as i pass, opening to see his head buried in papers “You ok?”He asks? It had been 2 days since the loss of dj, today was the first day since the incident that he felt comfortable enough to leave me alone and that was only in the next room over, i'm not sure what he was afraid off but he didn't want to leave my side until i convinced him that he had too. “Yea
Drake laughs when he hears the elevator closing “You started it giving him clothes”Evelyn answers giggling “Sometimes we need a push in the right direction”She adds “More like a shove, that was definitely a shove”Baylee says before shovelling a forkful of food into her mouth as i get up, putting the kids in the highchairs and adding food to the plates in front of them“She deserves happiness, they both do, they have been through so much”Caden adds, we all look to him frowning, we all new that sarah had lost her mate as a teen, reggie lost his in an attack a few years back so they were both free to make whatever choices that they wanted to make without the fear of a mate coming back to kill someone in a jealous rage. “What they told me when i asked”He answers our silence, eating another forkful of his food“It's true, she's going to make a pretty bride”Baylee adds
“See you all agree! You all know the truth, its her fault for all of this”Ben growls, his aura pushes out over everyone, the temperature in the room drops as he moves, grabbing simon by the throat and slamming him against the wall, the door rattles with the force of the hit“We dont agree you ass”He snaps using his other hand to clamp down on the hold he had on simons throat “Do you know how many kids would have died if our luna had not healed them until she almost died herself? What about when roisin attacked? I remember you on your ass, a rogue was lifting his fist to slam it through your chest and what did our luna do?”I could see his hand going white, his hold on his throat was that intensely tight “And the strays you talk about? Well she killed the man that nearly killed you with just her voice, saved families, kids, babies and men like you who were about to die at the hands of rogues! And then when the alpha was taken, do you understand what s
He doesn't move or try to stop me he just lets me cry, after a while my sobs slow down, the pain still there but slowly i was learning how to handle it, he pushes my messy hair away from my face looking at me “Why don't we do it together? Just you me and dad?”He asks, my heart swells, layla whimpers, happy we took caden on as our own, he was one of the best kids i could have ever asked for, he was ours in all sense of the word and this small courageous offer made me proud to be his mum. I look to drake, he had a solemn look on his face, his eyes were watering as he watched us both, nodding his head just slightly to answer my unasked question “We would like that very much”I tell him wiping my own face from tears “We should do it now, dad said he will bring dj to the back of the packhouse”He says, I chew my lip nervously nodding my head. I know he needed to be at peace, i know this was what was done but it didn't ma
I shake my head, layla pushing forward “No we want them”She tells her, i couldn't wait to smell him again, its a smell i never wanted to forget, its comforting to know that even though he was gone that he wouldn't be forgotten.She grins at me nodding her head “Come ill show you where they are”I follow her out of the room just as a warrior comes in screaming “My mate! My mates having a baby!!!”He screams, he looked like he was about to faint in fear as a lady is wheeled in huffing and puffing while she glares at her mate, i couldnt help myself from giggling “Luna the bag is clear, in that room on the silver trolly, i better go settle him down before she shoots him”She says pointing to a side room down the hallway, i chuckle waving to them all and heading to the room, as i enter i realise it's a pharmacy room that was being used as a storage spot for bigger equipment and it was full of medic
“Did he ra—-“I shake my head crying “No you stopped him in time”I manage to stutter out, he seems to relax only slightly just as the doctor runs in“Where the FUCK were YOU!!!”Drake roars, lifting me off the floor and tight into his arms“I don’t— what?— I was—“Her face falls and she shakes her head“I’m so sorry Luna, I was with the omega, she was giving birth”Drake growls, pushing past her and out into the corridors, it wasn’t the doctors fault but he didn’t seem to realise that“Check her over”He orders, plopping me down on the bed in the exam room, I grab his arm and I pull him back close to me, shaking my head“No!”I snaps, he frowns “Babe you need to be checked over”I shake my head pulling him closer “No I don’t want to touch anyone”The doctor runs her hands down face “I can’t believe this happened, I don
