After seeing mine and Brax's baby growing inside of me, I was on cloud nine. All my fears about being a mum faded away, and I think Brax felt the same way. I spent the days after that getting ready to do the ritual to bring Ava back. I had limited time to get things organised because Daisy was getting close to passing, and if she died before we did the ritual, then there was a chance it wouldn't work. I spent most of my time in the library reading as much as I could, trying to learn everything I possibly could about myself and the power I would need to pull it off. My family decided to stay. Until after I had done it so they could be here to support and help me, which also meant I had more time to work up the courage to tell them about me being pregnant.I am sitting alone in the library, reading an old book with nothing but a dim light lighting the corner of the room I'm sitting in. I look down at the ring on my finger that Brax gave me, and a smile comes to my face as I think back
Slowly opening my eyes, my head is pounding. I let out a groan, and I felt a hand touch my face. Looking up, I see Brax with a worried look on his face; my eyes start to adjust. Looking at Brax, he looks tired, so I go to sit up. Brax watches my every move as I slowly lift myself up off the pillow. "what happened?" my voice cracks as I speak. "you passed out after the spell" Braxs voice is filled with concern.I try to remember what happened before passing out, but my mind is a foggy mess. Brax helps me sit up and hands me a glass of water. I take a sip and feel the cool liquid soothe my parched throat. "Thank you," I mutter, still trying to piece together what happened.Brax sits beside me, his hand on my back in a comforting gesture. "You pushed yourself too hard and passed out after the spell," he explains gently. "I look around the room, realising I'm in Brax's room, and I have no idea how I got here. "Did it work?"Brax nods before laying his head down on my lap. "You scared th
It has been over a week since I woke up, and I'm feeling a lot better than I was. Brax still keeps fussing over me, not wanting to leave my side even though I keep telling him I'm fine. He's had the doctor out to see me a few times, and he just wants to make sure that the baby and I are doing okay. Which, just like I keep telling him and the doctor, we are perfectly fine. I've got a little belly now, and I've felt a few kicks, which is a crazy feeling but also amazing. Brax has already started building its bedroom right next to our new bedroom, apparently. I don't really know why we need a new bedroom Braxs room is just fine, but he keeps telling me we need something that is ours and special, so I just go along with it.I've been trying my hardest to stay away from Ava. I just can't get rid of the horrible feeling that I get from her. I know Pearl keeps getting the same feeling, too. We've been keeping our distance from her as much as possible, but it's hard when she keeps popping
I stayed in my room for days, hiding away from everyone. Blue sat with me the whole time. He was the only one that I wanted to be around. Being a dog, he couldn't judge me for the way I had attacked. Attacking Ava was something I'm not proud of, but I had done it, and I couldn't take it back. So, I just had to live with the guilt I felt. Brax came and left. He had a lot going on at the pack house that he needed to deal with. I knew he hated leaving me, but I told him every time that I would be fine. I thought about going and saying sorry to Ava, but I wasn't ready to see her yet. No matter how hard I tried, I could get rid of the horrible feeling that I had about her. I was the only one to blame for all this. I had brought her back, and maybe this was the price I had to pay for doing it.there was a knock on the door, but I ignored it. I continued reading the book that I had been reading for days. Pearl came in, walked over, and sat in one of the chairs that was in the room. She didn'
Something hit my stomach, sending a searing pain shooting through me. I stood there in shock, my hands slowly coming up to my stomach. I looked down, and my white shirt slowly turned red. The sound of Pearl running to me as she cried out my name rang through my ears. Pulling my blood-soaked hands up, I stared at them in a state of shock. Looking back up to Ava, still standing there with the gun pointed at me.I turned to look at Brax, still holding my hands out in front of me. I was in shock at what had just happened. "the baby" was all I could get out. Time felt like it was moving so slowly.Brax stood there wide-eyed, still trying to process what had just happened, his eyes trailing down to my stomach, which was now completely covered in blood. "Luna", his voice was barely louder than a whisper. He rushed to me, catching me as my body became weak and my legs gave out from under. There was yelling and more people rushing to see what had happened. Pearl held her hands over my wound,
Brax povAs Luna turned to look at me, her hands covered in blood and a bullet wound to her stomach, I was frozen to the spot. I should have been there next to her. I should have been able to save her from being shot. I'd failed her again, and this time, I might just pay the price and lose her forever."the baby", she said as she looked between me and her bloody hands. Standing there staring at her, trying to process what had just happened, my eyes trailed down to her stomach, her once-white shirt now red with her blood. "Luna", I said before rushing over to her, catching her as she fell, and pulling her into me. I knew Ava was still standing there, gun pointed at Luna, ready to shoot again at any minute, but I didn't care; I didn't fear her or the gun. The only thing I fear in this world is losing Luna. Everyone started yelling, and I could hear others coming in to see what had happened. I didn't look up; I just kept my eyes on Luna, praying that she wouldn't leave me. Tears started
"Luna baby, please wake up", I shocked her as fear started to set back in me that I might still lose her. I held her, staring at their chest, trying to work out if she was breathing or if I was just seeing things. "what's happening? Why won't she wake up?" I looked up to Pearl, who was standing there studying Luna and me. "I don't know, I'm sorry, Brax, I don't understand any of this", tears still lingering in her eyes. Pearl placed her hand on Luna's chest, closing her eyes and focusing on trying to read Luna. "she blocking me."I didn't understand what she meant by that. How could Luna block Pearl from reading her when she wasn't awake? The doctor came rushing in, stopping and standing in front of us. Her eyes widened as she saw the blood that soaked Luna and me. She looked everywhere to see where it was coming from, confusion soon taking over when she couldn't find a wound. "did you heal her?" Dr Peter asked Pearl. Pearl shook her head, trying to figure out how to explain to the d
Lunas pov I knew before Brax even said anything that my baby was gone. I knew that was why no one would tell me anything. They were waiting for him to be the one to tell me. I know I should be shutting him out. I don't blame him for any of this; I blame myself for bringing Ava back for not listening to myself and doing something about her the second I got a bad feeling. My heart is broken for the child that I never got to meet, but also the child that saved me. I remember that as I went towards the light, I felt something inside of me: a warm feeling of love and protection. I knew at that moment that my baby was healing me, giving its own life so we both wouldn't die.I can't feel myself getting lost in my emotions, and I know that I need to keep everyone away from me to protect them from me and the darkness that lives inside of me. The pain I'm feeling right now is enough to make me want to scream and cry until I can't anymore. But I know that won't solve anything.As the reality si
