Chapter 5

Hannas POV

I felt so much stronger after marking them. I still don't believe that they won’t reject me. I am nothing, why would they want to keep me. I am not even an Alpha anymore. They will make me have babies then toss me out, like the garbage I am. They marked me and I marked them but that doesn’t mean that they will accept me as their Luna. They sure haven’t said anything about a Luna ceremony so they must not want everyone to know.

I’m brought out of my thoughts when I hear Byron growl, and grip my hips. I hadn't realized I was still sitting on him. I start grinding on him, kissing down his neck. He growls again and pulls me closer. Then he grabs my wrists and slowly pushes me away. He’s breathing heavily and looks mad. I knew it, he doesn’t want me. I look away from his eyes and move off of his lap. I feel like someone is squeezing my chest. 

“Hanna… I want you I do, Remember that the doctor told us not to do anything until tomorrow.” I look at Byron but he still looks upset. Gabe and Kane also look upset. God, they must hate me. I look down at my hands. I feel the tear hit my hand before I realize that I let it fall. I expect to be yelled at like my father used to do to me whenever I’d cry. Instead Gabe grabbed my hand and kissed the inside of my wrist. I look up at him.

“Can’t you feel us, our emotions? We aren’t mad, and we are not going to reject you. We just want you so much, but we also can’t hurt you. We are having a hard time not taking you here and now.” I don’t understand.

“Feel your emotions? No, why would I be able to do that?” The brothers look at eachother, they all look at me. Kane grabs my other hand. 

“Doll, you can feel your mates emotions after marking each other. We feel yours, we did as soon as you marked us.” I look at Byron. Are they messing with me? 

“No one told me that was a thing. And I definitely don’t feel any of your feelings. Is it because technically I’m a rogue right now?”  Byron shakes his head.

“No, that shouldn’t make a difference.” I see him mind link with Gabe while Kane rubs my hand with his thumb.

 “We have an idea of why you can’t feel our emotions. Please don’t be mad, love… it’s because you were pregnant before you marked us.” I look at Byron in shock, then I start laughing. Oh they definitely were fucking with me. 

“That's not even possible I only slept with you guys.” Gabe sighs and slaps Byron.

 “Byron over here is Alpha of all Alphas, being such, he would have to have his mate to be able to produce a child. Only mates of Alpha of all Alphas can take his knot. When he finished his wolf Obsidian took over and knotted with you. That's why we called the doc to check on you.” I looked at them, I felt overwhelmed, this is all too much. I walk toward the window and start pacing in front of it. 

“I’m pregnant, carrying a pup right now? You're joking.” I laugh. The triples look at me, I see regret in Byron's eyes. Oh Goddess they aren’t joking. He doesn’t want me to have his pup, he regrets knotting with me. I feel the panic and doubt picking up, he’ll take the pup and kick me to the curb just like I thought.

 “Calm down, I don’t regret you having my pup, I regret you not giving me consent to impregnate you before knotting with you. That should’ve been your choice. I am sorry I couldn’t control myself.” He wants me to have his pup. He wants to keep me. I feel joy bubbling inside my heart. I move back over to the couch and sit down. Gabe and Kane move and sit on either side of me. Byron sits on the table in front of me and holds my soup in his hands. 

“For now you need to rest and get some food in you to help your healing process.” He spoon feeds me my soup while Gabe and Kane rub my arms and legs. I feel incredible. I feel wanted, loved even. 

Gabes POV

Her emotions are all over the place. They are so strong I'm having a hard time distincting them from my own emotions. She must have been abused, no signs of physically, but definitely emotionally. After she finished eating, she leaned against me and fell asleep.

 “I know we were going to set a room up for her but, I think it’ll be best if she stays in your room for now Byron. At least until all your accepted challenges have finished. Do not accept any other challenges. She is going to need you to be around her at all times. More so the further along she gets. Having her in your room will help because your scent will always be around. One of us will need to be around her at all times. She seems extremely sensitive, and to have been emotionally abused. Definitely degraded. Possibly physically, we were all a little preoccupied to actually notice if there were any scars marring her perfect skin or not.” Byron looks to me looking slightly sad.

“Actually after you left and I was washing her in the bath, I noticed some. They are on her back, her thighs and her stomach. We will have to ask her about them. We all know the only way we scar is if wolfsbane or silver is involved.” I watched as Kane jumped to his feet, obviously seething. I felt disgusted that anyone would touch her. The most beautiful woman I’d ever seen, and she felt as though she wasn’t worth anything because of some bastard. I brushed her cheek and pushed her hair out of her face. 

“She is going to get a headache if she lays on my shoulder much longer.” Byron picks her up and moves her to the bed. Byron laid on the bed next to her and ran his hand up and down on her stomach. I laid down next to her and pulled her onto me so she was laying in between my legs resting her head on my stomach. Kane lays on her other side.

Our world is going to drastically change. So much needs to be done, and so much needs to be found out. First thing we needed to do was figure out how to get her sister free without Hanna or the baby getting hurt. I had a feeling that it was going to be next to impossible to convince her that she couldn’t help if there was a fight. We would have to use her and Byron’s bond to our advantage. One thing was for sure, we would all do anything to protect her, no matter what that took. I worry about Kane, he would be the first to let his temper go and end up scaring our mate. Somehow though I feel that it will be Byron that does something that will ultimately scare our mate away. I sigh as an hour goes by and know that we must get back to our duties. I slide out from under her and get off the bed.

 “Gabe, where are you going?” I look at Byron and smirk. 

“At least one of us needs to be working right now. I am going to have someone come set your computer up in here tomorrow morning. You will have a challenge then so I figure that will be the best time. Kane you will be on training duties tomorrow and I the next day. Also we need to have a proper Luna ceremony soon. Everyone would have felt the bond being created, they are going to want to know what is going on. And Rena will definitely want to meet her.” Kane gets off the bed in a fit of fury. 

“And who made you the decision maker? Why do I have to take over Byrons training?” I sigh. 

“Well, do you want what happened not too long ago to happen again? What will you do if she starts falling apart? You’ll have to get Byron again, so might as well make it easier on all of us, yes?” He paces then stops in front of me. 

“Yea, you’re right. Fuck. Okay, let's get shit ready then. Byron you just keep your hands to yourself, no more hurting our mate!” I look at Byron as he freezes on the bed. 

“Look, I have obsidian locked up right now so no worries. Not that I think he’d try to knot with her again while she is already pregnant. I won’t hurt our mate, now go so you can come back, hopefully before she wakes up.” I nod and leave with Kane right on my heels.
