Jonathan povKat came back from Duke's room looking worried and I knew Helen showed up to talk. I just hope they can work this shit out because all the arguing was fucking with my beta's head."it will be okay baby",I kissed her head as I lifted her to the couch. She hisses in pain but kisses me other lips as I sat her on the soft blanket."I hope mom came in and said they needed to talk, she sighed. I don't have a good feeling about this",I sighed as I cupped her face. The boys surrounded us and Lucas shyly stared at the babies."everything will be fine, I ruffled Joshua's hair, we just need to be there if they need us",Kat smiled at Lucas and motioned him closer but he looked worried. "come here baby",he looked ready to run. I scooped him up and placed him on the couch but he knew her belly hurt and sat still. Kat cupped his face giving him kisses and he blushed."your fine buddy, I patted his hair, your fine look at the babies",he nodded and touched Jace and a soft smile filled his

Duke povI ran with Helen to the hospital she looked to be in pain but she was also crying. "your going to be okay love",I kept reassuring her."I'm sorry",she cried."don't be sorry love you did nothing wrong. He will leave or die like Mark. Now let's get you checked out",she sighed then hissed on pain."my back hurts",she whimpers. "easy baby",I rush for the emergency room and yell for doc who hauls ass to us."did she fall?",he looks scared."no just pregnant and hurting. Her feet swell bad",he sighs in relief"well I say we look at the pup and see if there is signs of distress ",Helen starts crying in fear. I gather her closer and soon we are at a room and ushered inside. Putting her on the bed I barely step back so she doesn't panic."you okay baby",I kiss her lips as the ultrasound machine is brought in and they have Helen pull up her shirt. Fuck such a cute belly Silas sighs happy."okay beta Helen let's see what this pup is up to",he squirts warm gel on her belly and gets sta

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 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!! ",

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
