His Distant Human Mate 46
Aurora quickly walked to the door of Arden's room and knocked. Rich pulled the door open and smiled at Aurora. She returned the smile and stepped through. "Momma!" Eli exclaimed and jumped off the bed. Faith chuckled and greeted her daughter as Eli wrapped his arms around her waist. "He is going a bit stir crazy,' Faith informed her. Aurora nodded in understanding. "Well, there is a BBQ out back. I am sure that everyone wants to meet you," Eli pulled away excitedly. "Really?" He asked. Aurora nodded and turned towards the door. "Let's go Grandma!" Eli yelled over his shoulder as he headed down the hallway. As Aurora passed Rich, she said," Thank you for keeping an eye on them while we get these tests completed." "Of course, Luna. In my opinion they are completely unnecessary," Rich's irritation showed ever so slightly. Aurora smiled. She was grateful to have some people already warming to her and the idea of her becoming Luna of their pack. "Yes, well if it gives peace o

"I am unsure what the actual issue is here, my dear," Mason said. His voice and demeanor sounded helpless to Lila, which only infuriated her more. "How are we to know that the tests were not cheated?" She asked. "They went to the hospital and talked to Doctor Collins, who knows what was said, and had the exam without either you or me present," Lila threw up her arms. She paced their bedroom. It was where she had found Mason after her run in with Aurora on the stairs. "Doctor Collins would never put something down on paper if it was not true. He is the one man I can count on to follow everything by the book," Mason said. His voice changed. He was defending the Doctor. Lila had to tread lightly. "I understand that. But the tests are to be done with us present," Lila was not sure how she was going to get Mason to agree to another exam. She slowly came to a stop on the side of the room that Mason was in. She walked over to him and gently slid her arms around his neck. "I just want t

Arden and Aurora stood and watched Eli play with the other children. more pack members stopped and introduced themselves. just as Aurora was about to call for Eli, Ardens father walked up to the couple. "Your boy seems to be fitting in just fine, Aurora," Aurora only nodded in response. She wasn't sure what Mason wanted. "I heard that we should be expected a visit from Doctor Collins tomorrow morning," Mason's gaze moved to Ardens. "That's correct. We had to run an errand. When we were finished, we were near the hospital, and we felt it would benefit everyone to be done with these tests," Arden said the word through gritted teeth. "This is true. However, the point of the tests is to make sure that Aurora is a good fit. It doesn't bode well that the exam was done without anyone else present or even knowing about it to begin with," Arden slowly squared up to his father. He faced him straight on as he tried to take a few calming breaths. "Let me guess, Lila wants the exam redone?"

Arden paced the waiting area of the hospital. "Our mate needs us!" Thor roared in his mind. They could both feel her pain coming from down the hall. It had been a couple of hours since Doctor Collins and the nurses had raced Aurora back. One nurse had come out to inform him that they still did not know what the issue was, but they were going to keep running their tests and working to figure it out. The nurse also informed Arden that they had her sedated, so she at least did not feel the pains now. Arden was grateful to hear that. Although he could still feel them. Arden was unable to sit down in one of the wooden chairs that lined the perimeter of the waiting room. He was the only one currently in it. The feeling was a lonely one. Arden thought back to the BBQ and what could have caused Aurora to double over in pain. She ate the same thing that he had. Melody had one cooked up the usual hot dogs and burgers. There were a few sausage links, but Aurora had stuck to a burger. Arden s

Aurora's body felt numb. She heard the sounds around her before she opened her eyes. She felt the rough blanket under her hands. The monitors of the hospital beeped around her. It wasn’t the first time that she had found herself in a hospital bed. She hoped it would be one of the last though. Aurora slowly began to blink. Her eyes felt heavy and weighed as though they were not ready to open quite yet. "Aurora," Arden breathed. He stood up from the chair that sat near her hospital bed. He moved to sit on the side of the bed. He grabbed her hand and held it close to his chest. Aurora blinked more. She worked to remove the sleep from her eyes to be able to register what was going on around her. She looked up into Arden's eyes. They held a large amount of concern. Aurora tried to speak but she could not. It felt as though someone ad rub wool over her throat. Arden leaned forward and grabbed a glass of water off the side table that sat near Aurora's hospital bed. Arden put the glass

Alpha Mason paced the room that was now office. He had willingly given up his Alpha office to Lila when she had become the Luna. Mason thought about the BBQ and Lila's reaction afterward. It was unsettling how happy Lila had seemed. Even with knowing that Aurora had been transported to the pack hospital. Mason stopped at his desk and looked down at a file that sat on top. He had never opened the file. Roger, his Beta, had given it to him after he had decided to wed Lila. Mason had not bothered to open it. It held his wife's past. Mason had not cared to look as he had thought all that mattered was their connection and love for one another. Mason took a seat at his desk and began to skim over the contents of the file. There was not much in there. Lila's parents had died at a young age. Her Aunt took custody of her, but Lila ran away at a young age. As Mason looked over her past addresses, something looked off. Each address boarded on the territory line of the Whispering Shadows Coven.

Arden helped Aurora from the car. They had pulled up to a modern home with a two-car garage. It sat in the center of a small cul-de-sac surrounded by homes that resembled the others. Arden helped Aurora through the front door. The home was already furnished. Eli came running from the living room that sat off to the left of the front entry way. "Momma!" Eli ran up but stopped short. He noticed that Arden was helping Aurora. Aurora smiled at her son and touched his face. Eli gently wrapped his hands around her waist and held her. "I am alright, E," Aurora said as she hugged Eli to herself. She welcomed his warmth and love. Eli moved to Aurora's others side and helped her into the living room and to the couch that sat on one side of the room. Faith stood up from a pair of chairs across from the couch. Faith smiled at her daughter. Worry clearly written among the lines around her forehead and mouth. Aurora tried to smile at her mother reassuringly. However, her pain was still a const

Rather than say anything, Rich only nodded in answer. Edith drew in a breath and let it out slowly. "You must know that I never meant for the drink to hurt the future Luna," Edith said quietly. "What happened?" Rich asked gently. He did not want to scare the girl. At least not yet. "I was in the kitchen, cleaning up some of the food from outside. I found Luna Lila in the kitchen. She was making Shirley temples for the children. It was the sweetest thing I think I have ever seen her do." "And then?" Rich tried to coax out of her. "She handed me the try and asked for me to hand them out. She did not think anyone would care for them if she was the one passing them out, I guess. She instructed one of them to have alcohol in it for the future Luna," Edith dropped her head once more. She should have none something was amiss. "What happened next?" Rich asked. Edith thought for a moment. "I had asked if she wanted me to at least let them know they were from her, but she said no. I
