Chapter20Lucian's POV We finally got to where the car was packed, and I placed her in the back seat of the car with Mary, who looked like she tried to mask the pain she felt.“Are you alright?” I asked her often until we got to the hospital, and once I came out, I saw nurses running to my aid with stretcher beds.They helped Mary, and Kira who was still unconscious to get on the stretcher beds before rolling them away.I followed for a while to know the room, they were in. I stood out there, and continued blaming myself. Seeing Mary in that condition made me recall her words. “Don't let history repeat itself.” I sighed, keeping my worried wolf at bay. He didn't want to leave, but I wanted to go see how my baby, and Mia, were doing.Dragging my foot away from the place with a strong look on my face.I wanted to see Mia, she was the one who mattered to me.I got to the door, but was shocked to hear her talking to someone. I was at the other side of the door, and I leaned in to hear
Kira's POV.“Kira, Kira, can you hear me?” I heard a voice in the background, while my eyes stared at the ceiling. For a while, it felt like I was in my own little world. I didn't even know where I was.“Kira!” The voice jolted me, making me turn towards where the voice was.“Finally, what happened to you? You seemed to have been lost in thought after the doctor checked you, what happened?” Mary asked, making me sigh.“My mate saved us?” Those were the only words that left my lips. Indeed, something was wrong. The fact that he saved me after he showed me how much he hated me was alarming.“What's wrong? You should be grateful he saved us. You would have been raped, you know that.” I nodded to her words. She was right. I wouldn't have been raped if he hadn't saved me.His kind gesture towards me caused my butterfly to flutter in my stomach.“What about my baby, did he survive?” Mary smiled. “Yes, the baby survived. He's such a strong boy. I'm sure he'll make you proud. You didn't ev
Lucian's POV.I walked into my room, and saw Mia, sitting there in thoughts. I hardly saw her that way, but it seemed like she was worried about something.“Mia?” I called, making her snap her back towards where I stood. However, as soon as she turned to me, she frowned.“Congratulations, you're going to be a father!!!” She spoke with a gigantic frown on her face, and I furrowed my brows, confusion.I already knew I was going to be a father, so why did she remind me about the facts?“I already know that, Mia,” I laughed, moving close to her. However, as my hands tried to touch hers, she pulled hers away.I felt hurt by what she did, but the next look she gave me caused me to furrow my brows. We never spoke to each other in that way before, and I didn't know what happened.“So what did I do this time?” I asked, also frowning. I had enough of all the tantrums.“Just how many of us are pregnant with your supposed heir?” My brows lowered, my eyes resting on her because I didn't know what
Kira's POV.I was back to my mate's pack again. It wasn't clear to me why I felt the need to leave, but since Mary urged me to stay, I decided to follow her advice, and stay out of sight.Immediately we got back, I moved into my room, while Mary excused herself to get me a decent meal.As soon as I was left alone, I began to think about those times when he heard me in his arms. I knew I wasn't awake, but I let my imagination guide me.His strong hands wrapped around my waist as he carried me in a bridal style.“What are you thinking about?”I turned my neck towards the door, and that was when I noticed Mia standing by the door. She looked, and acted strange which gave me more concern.“What are you–”“Doing it here?” She asked, and I swallowed. The weather suddenly became hot, and I felt my throat turn dry.“I came to see you. Don't You want to see me?” She asked, inching closer to where I sat. “My child's father, and the alpha of this pack, told me about your little ordeal. I'm sure
kira's pov.The dining table was arranged just like the first, and I didn't know why we had been invited, but sitting there made me feel hot inside.My mate sat next to Mia, while I sat close to Mary who was awfully quiet.I guess she was also shocked about the invite I got to the table.“Mia asked us all to sit down for dinner. She said she became friends with Kira,” I heard him say, turning towards her with a smile.I was shocked at how she changed over the past couple of weeks. She was even more scary than I thought, but then she did everything with me, and even told me stories about how she spent time with my mate.Even when those stories hurt me, I mostly thought about it like I was the one doing those fun things with him.But despite how she tried to get close to me, I didn't take her as a friend.“Aren't you all happy? We're getting along nicely, and it's making my love happy.” Mary was quiet while I nodded. I noticed that she was trying to act so nice, and I feared what she wo
Lucian's POV.I stood outside, not knowing what else to do. My heart was drumming, and my face was filled with creased lines, showing worry.Sweat trailed down my face, and Mary stood beside me in worry. I noticed how she ran her hands through her hair to calm herself down.“She's going to be fine,” she said to comfort me, and at the same time assured herself. I nodded, not knowing how I would cope if something happened to her.My wolf was silent. He was angry about me not being able to protect our mate, even when he begged me to.“I hope she will be. My wolf would rather not speak to me. He's so silent…” I explained to Mary, who sighed.She was always there to support when I needed her.She placed her hands on my shoulders, and patted it gently. “He'll come around,” Mary replied, talking about my wolf.It's a good thing Mia didn't show up. She would have made a fuss, which would have made me leave my mate alone at this point was crucial.Turning to Mary, I sighed, wondering what coul
Kira's POV.I slowly blinked open my eyes, and twisted my neck to look around the room when I noticed that there was a drip attached to my arm, and it still looked full.my throat was sore, and my head felt light with a slight throbbing pain. However, I was concerned with my environment.“I'm at the hospital?” I questioned upon realization, before my eyes landed on Mary, who was sitting on a chair close to the bed.She looked troubled because her head was lowered, and she didn't even notice that I had woken up.“Mary,” I called, making her raise her lowered head. Her eyes showed nothing but panic, tears also built up in her eyes, while she struggled to hold them back.How she acted made me worried. She was strong, and crying was a sign that something was up.“What's wrong?” I asked, hoping she wouldn't cry, and just tell me what the matter was. Her eyes gaze at me with worry despite me being conscious, and her eyes held pain, something I had never expected.“Mary, what’s wrong, did the
Mia's POV.I walked through the garden after being chased away from Lucian's presence. He seemed angry about her losing the pregnancy, but at least I knew now that the pregnancy didn't belong to him.With how he expressed his rage, I was sure he was never going to let her in here again.I giggled evilly, walking through the garden before picking up a red rose flower.“You are this rose, Kira,” I said, staring wickedly at the rose. Then I began to pluck its petals one after the other. “This is how much I hate you. You're supposed to feel more pain, but this is enough. Yes, even if it hurts him, he'll end up crawling back to me!” I growled. I threw the petals on the floor, and stepped on it, making sure to grind them against the tiled floor with my feet.“That’s how I'll squash you the best time you try to mess with me!” ****** A few days later, I heard an argument ensue between Lucian, and Mary. Their scream echoed, making me smile. However, I needed to know what they were arguing
