*** Rebecca *** I sat on a chair in Nimue’s room, with tears in my eyes and confusion in my heart. I was so lost and unwilling to move, unsure what should I do next... This morning. I woke up warm in Luke’s arms, tired, but happy. Even after the revelations Nimue has told me about my family yesterday, I still had Luke, he was my family now. And I had to get stronger and find a way to protect this family. After a quick shower I got dressed and went downstairs to see Nimue, she was already up and waiting for me in the yard. We had a bite to eat and tea before we headed back into her room, well I should call it study probably. It was filled with books and amulets, quirky things I have never seen and there was always sage burning in a small bowl on the table. I might need to ask her what was that about. Luke reluctantly agreed to give me some time with Nimue and he went to discuss support and defense options for me and our pack with elders. “Sit down child.” Ushered Nimue. She was
*** Rebecca *** "Ughh... " I groaned, turning over in bed. Every muscle of my body was aching and I felt drained like I ran a marathon the day before. Sleeping without Luke next to me, only made it so much worse. All I did was toss and turn most of the night, feeling Luke's and my own frustration, not able to sleep and get the rest I so desperately needed. Why, oh, why did he have to go and do something stupid, so we would be in this situation right now. And I was too damn proud to talk to him first, I was still angry at him, so he will have to make the first step, and even then I'll think about forgetting what stupidity he came up with.Even though I was still angry and didn't really want to talk to Luke, I had to roll out of this bed and get ready for the evening ball and it was already noon. You would think I would feel even a little bit rested, but no, I will have to suffer all evening meeting important people, shaking hands and smiling, when all I wanted to do is sleep in Luke's
*** Rebecca *** The day of us going back home has arrived and it was an early morning when Luke got out of bed and started nudging me with soft kisses out of my slumber. It was way too early and I felt exhausted, like I just ran a marathon. Keeping up appearances and meeting dozens of people was a hard work last night. The ball carried out long into the night, while me and Luke quietly slipped away to get some sleep before our flight. Nimue has decided to join us and after a long conversation and convincing with elders they gave in and let us stay together. Which meant we were going home with the closest person my parents had and therefore she was like an aunt to me. Besides, she was a powerful mage and we could use all the help we could get right now. I dragged my weak body into the shower, packed my things and went to meet Luke, who left earlier to discuss some things with the elders. Tyrell was waiting for me outside to walk me into the dinning hall, to have some breakfast. Nimue
***Rebecca ***"Luke, stop it! Seriously this is getting ridiculous now..." "Well you're pregnant." answered Luke."I know I am, but this is insane, you won't let me do anything! I'm pregnant, not disabled. I still have a long way to go and I need to work and do something." I said annoyed, snatching a bag of groceries from his hands. "You don't need to do anything, I'll do everything you need, so you just rest and eat." "Seriously, there's no point talking to you about this. Maybe you two can talk some sense into him? I beg you!" I said throwing my hands up in the air, after putting down the bag on the kitchen counter in front of Luke's mom and Nimue. "You shouldn't lift your hands above your head like that..." mumbled Luke quietly."One more word and I swear to god, I'll beat you up with this broccoli!" I said grabbing the first thing out of the bag and pointing it towards our crazed Alpha. And he darted out of the room shouting 'I love you' on the way out. "So I take it, he's b
***Rebecca *** The paws beneath me hit the wet ground and the pale white moon was high above my head. I ran for hours, into the mountains, through the forests and rivers. Never stopping to rest or take a break. I cried inside remembering what I had left behind and why I ran. My heart was broken and the excruciating pain was piercing my chest. My mate, my love... It was hours ago when Scarlet blood attacked our pack and after Luke protested and tried to hide me away, I was in the middle of battle. Fighting to avenge my parents, my home that they took away and fighting for the right to live, for the life of my unborn child. The claws and fangs were snapping all around me and it was a scene from a horror movie. Luke and Tyrell never left my side, trying to keep a close circle between us, so we all would be safe. And I vowed to protect my mate and my pack. After what seemed like eternity we started pushing them back and they were losing. Our reinforcements haven't even reached us yet an
***Rebecca ***My heart was pounding like a just ran a marathon, a lump in my throat and tears threatening to spill. I couldn't wait any longer and the second we reached our territory, I shifted and ran. I ran faster than when I had to run for my life, not able to contain my anxious wolf anymore. I reached the hospital building in less than 5 min and I could see Soirse pacing back and forth by the entrance. She saw me and I shifted back to greet her."Thank goddess you're ok!" we both proclaimed at the same time, hugging each other. "Here, some clothes. I knew you would be here first thing." said Soirse with a comforting look."Thank you." I said quickly pulling the clothes over my head and legs. "Where is he?" "Come on, I'll take you." I followed Soirse in anticipation, scared and worried, but hopeful. When Tyrell found us, the first thing he told me that Luke is alive and my legs gave out, making me tumble to the ground. And all I could ask was 'how?' because I saw how many wol
***Rebecca ***It was yet another agonizing morning for me. Morning sickness and nausea followed me through the day. There was no hiding my pregnancy from the pack anymore. I've been nauseous for weeks and one minute I'm repulsed by food while the other I could down two burgers, fries and a massive piece of apple pie for dessert. Some people started to notice my eating habits, so I guess I should come clear to everyone. Besides, they could use some happy news during this unstable time, because their Alpha still hasn't woken up. I missed him terribly, it angered me that he is missing out on our pregnancy and everything around. I wish there was a way to help him, to awaken him, because even though I was putting up a strong face in front of our pack it was killing me inside. Killing me not to have my mate by my side. Especially when so much was happening, so many things needed to be taken care of and being constantly nauseous did nothing to help me sort those things. I found out that af
***Rebecca*** Rage was pulsing through my veins and I felt like ripping things apart, screaming and cursing... Today was the day I was meant to meet with the rest of the Scarlet blood pack and get a feel about everyone. Tyrell, Mila and Ryan were accompanying me with half of our soldiers, because I had no idea how they would meet me or what I was walking into. And I had to be ready for anything really. The pack knew their Alpha was dead and they felt a shift of power already. Getting the location of the pack from the captives was fairly easy, they knew what end their Alpha had met and they had nothing else to lose anymore. Therefore the location came quite easy, I wish that was the same for the journey we had ahead of us. I was a pregnant hormonal wolf with thousands of responsibilities weighing on my shoulders, my mate and Alpha was still in hospital and the rest of the pack was onto me like bees on honey. Everyone was super annoyingly protective and I barely had a minute to myself
