Hollowness greeted me like an old friend opening my eyes up with a gasp. I was in an hospital room empty of patients but filled with people. Six nurses in varying height and coordinated uniform tended to the only patient in the room.The room in all its glory smelt like death.The walls appeared so white, it nearly blinded me. A single dull blue light hung in the corner of the room adding to the gloomy atmosphere of the room.
“ Where am I?”
A tall blonde willowy nurse in a blue apron exchange a look to a woman on my far right before answering me.
“In the hospital ma’am.”
“But this is not the hospital, I work in the hospital ” I replied looking around the room of new faces in confusion.
“Where’s mama Priscilla and Sister Thalia?”.
Exchanging another desperate look with other nurses in the room, the same woman answered me.
“Erm, This is not your pack hospital ma’am. I’m afraid you’re no longer in your pack . This is the Night-wisp pack”
“The Night-wisp pack. What am I doing in the night wisp pack” I muttered.
They stated towards me, all of them. Some in anticipation, some in resentment and some in pity and I looked on in confusion.
And then, it all came rushing back.
Elias rejecting me, choosing Vela, my parents supporting him, sending me away , my baby, wait my baby.
I couldn’t feel it.
“My baby, where’s my baby? I can’t feel my baby” I cred out in fear.
No one paid me any mind. I tried reaching out to my wolf.Nothing.
I turned in desperation to the woman closest to me. She looked panicked but that didn’t matter to me. Not right now.
“Say something, Where’s my baby?”
“Say something please I’m begging you” I was full on yelling now.
She didn’t need to say anything, the pity on her face was answer enough.
Hot tear ran down my face. This couldn't be happening.
“No please, please tell me you were able to save her. Please, I can’t lose her. Please”.
“Miss Aegis” a new voice called out.
This woman was dressed differently.She wore a long purple dress and a white lab coat.
“My name is Evangeline, the resident healer of the Night-wisp pack. You got here just in time for us to save your life. Nothing however could done to save your baby. I have your records here and from what I can see, you were an hospital attendant in your pack. So you of all people should know the effect of ingesting wolfsbane”.
What was this lunatic talking about?
“I didn’t take any wolfsbane. I’m not stupid ma’am I know the effects of wolfsbane. It would have killed me”
“Are you quite sure?” She asked looking at me in disgust.
Oh no she did not just insinuate what i think she’s insinuating.
“I think I would know if I took Wolfsbane. As you’ve rightly pointed out, I’m an hospital attendant. Hell I’m studying to be a doctor. So why would I take a drug I know would kill me?” I asked, the anger in my voice evident.
The look of disgust on her face tripled by the minute and it bothered me and my wolf. A lot.
“ I didn’t kill my baby” I growled at her with my claws an teeth extended.
She believed me now. Good but that didn't do anything to abate the anger in me. My wolf was blood thirsty and she was looking to be a fantastic kill. Realizing same, she took a step back in fear. All the nurses had spread out by now, everyone knew the danger of an angry wolf much less a grieving one.
“Leave us” She ordered the nurses.
“ If you didn’t take wolfsbane then how” she trailed of
“You tell me, you’re the doctor here”.
I knew the instant she came to the realization.
“No, that wasn’t possible.There’s no way”
She was wrong. She had to be.
“Aegis please try to think deeply. Did you eat anything yesterday,anything that tasted different?”.
“No I only ate once yesterday at the Alpha-Beta dinner. It tasted fine. Moreover if it was in the food, we should all have died.”
“Think few hours before you got in the carriage. Wolfsbane takes about Three to Four Hours to take effect in a body”.
“ I didn’t take anything after. I swear. I was barely even able to stomach anything at the dinner”.
“Okay. What of drinks? Did you drink anything after?. Think Aegis”
“ I didn’t drink anything. I didn’t. I ate at the table and we had to leave because of Vela. The only other thing I drank was water when…”. It couldn't be.
“Goddess no, they couldn’t have. No please no”.
The Healer was quick to restrain me. “Calm down Aegis. Talk to me.When did you drink water?”.
“I-i-i was choking and I couldn't breathe after he rejected me. They brought me water to drink. It tasted weird like it was metal but I didn't think much of it. They….” I looked
“No….” “They took her away from me”.
“Stay with me Aegis. Who gave you the water?”.
“ She gave me the water. My mother gave me the water”.
Horror splashed through her face but I couldn’t process it.
“NOoooooo”. ‘They can’t do this to me, Please don’t let them do this to me. They can’t take her away.Do something, Please bring her back.” I cried desperately clinging to her.
Tears filled her eyes as she answered me” I’m sorry Aegis. There’s nothing we can do. The baby’s gone”.
“No, no, no, no” I was having an anxiety attack.
Watching me tentatively, the healer shouted for a sedative.
Feel. I needed to feel.
My eyes caught a blue mug o the table beside me. My hands reached for it before my brain could process it as flying across the room. I reached for the drip stand but she wouldn’t let me.
The healer pulled me into her arms in a desperate hug.
“ I’m so sorry love. I’m so sorry. It'll be fine I promise”.
“They took her Evangeline. They took my baby from me”.
“T’s okay darling. It’s going to be just fine love. You’ll be fine love”.
I felt the tiny prick of the needle at the back of my neck but I still didn’t let go and neither did she.
“I was a good girl Evangeline. I was a very good girl. Why would they do that to me”.
“ I don’t know love. I on’t know.But please don’t let Go. Don’t let go love. Fight Aegis. Please fight. You’ll get through this love, I promise”.
Fight. I had no fight left in me. They took it all.
Drowsiness hit me like a wind. My senses failing me by the minute but she didn't let go. She held me in her arm and rocked me till my body fell under.
“Poor child. What mother could have done that to her child?”?
“ I don’t think she’ll ever survive this. The wolfsbane didn’t just kill her baby. It destroyed her womb. She'll never be able to have another child.
The last thing I remembered before my mind finally came under was her telling me to fight. What a joke.

Aegis's Point Of View.The gloomy atmosphere of the hospital had become comforting. Elias mated Velma two month ago and I was paying for it. In blood. Miss Evangeline disagrees, she calls it the evidence of something greater. Something else I was slowly losing. My life.“She’s lost too much blood Miss Evangeline. If she continues like this, she’ll be dead by the next full moon” A nurse said.I’ve never seen this one around. Or maybe I have- my brain was beginning to lose its resillience.I felt another wave of blood coming through. It should be painful but I can’t feel anything. I’ve grown numb, unresponsive. I was finally broken.“ No, don’t say that. She’ll make it, I know she will”.Evangeline responded optimistic as always. No, she won’t. Look at her”.I chuckled in my mind at that. I was surely a sight to see. I was rushed back to the hospital a day after I got to the pack. That day was the first time he mated her.

Aegis's P.o.vSix months later I was watering flowers.Sighing heavily, I took the green watering can by the handle and walked back to the shed. The heat of the afternoon sun burned hotly against my skin. The sweet smell of fresh roses and the unmistakable smell of the damp earth filled my nostrils at every breath I breathed in. Calmness enveloped me at the sight in front of me. Flourishing red and white roses peeking out masses of greenery blankets stretched out for miles. Goddess, it was beautiful.I ignored the sluggish sound of the soil beneath my oversized boot cladded feet and stopped in front of the little wooden hut I had frequented so much in the past month.Brandi Winston,a kind old man that allowed me to work for him in his fields, came out from the hut and flashed me a warm smile. Dressed in dark blue overalls folded at the sleeve, with a blue undershirt and brown boots, he was a sight to see. There were smudges of oil all over his arms, face and wrinkly chin. He must h

Aegis's Point Of View.It happened again.This was the tenth time this month that I passed out from pain and wake up with welts and sores on my body. And we’re still on the fifth day of the month. It’s becoming ridiculous how much they did it. At first it was only a couple times a month but now they were going at it like rabbits.Miss Evangeline explained that the consequences was this severe because my mate was one in high power. The only way to make them stop was to complete the rejection and that wasn’t happening anytime soon.She was very sympathetic of my situation. With sorrowful wise eyes she lamented on how selfish my mate was to not have waited for his mate and how much he was going to regret not waiting for his mate.If only she knew.For now, I needed to get out of here. I can't risk the pack finding out.Trying not to irritate the welts on my back, I tried to stand up gently. I mistakenly rested on one of the sores on my lower waist.

The sun sank in casting a warm golden glow on the forest clearing. Men and women stood around in groups chatting and gossiping. I stood to the far left under a tree i found earlier silently observing the pack members as they mingled and laughed with each other. The voices of children racing and playing with themselves carried on the breeze. The flickering of yellow and blue flames cast oddly shaped dancing shadows on the ground.The annual bonfire was here."Gee-gee!" A small, familiar voice broke through the noise.I looked around or the voice and a smile spread out on my face,my heart warming as i saw Little Cece run toward me. Her head of black unruly curls bouncing up and down, her bright eyes wide with excitement.Bending down I opened my arms, and Cece ran into them in a hug. “Hi, Cece,” i said softly, brushing a strand of hair away from the her face. “What’s wrong?”She pulled back and pointed toward the gathering with a small frown. “Too loud,” she murmured, barely audible goin

The faint aroma of smoke that mixed with the comforting scent of pine and damp earth grounded me in the moment. Little Cece and her father were having a picnic and somehow here I was sitting a tablecloth in the middle of the forest battling soldier ants. I still don’t know how I got talked into this.An owl called in the distant and it echoed through the forest, duly reminding that the world beyond the fire was still wild and untamed. The evening had settled into a quiet calm, the warmth of the fire crackled softly as the night deepened. The stars scattered in little shining dots overhead, bright and clear against the pink sky, creating a serene atmosphere. I sat beside Alpha Elijah and Cece, who nestled herself comfortably in my lap, her small hand clutching the wooden wolf toy she never seemed to let go of.Alpha Elijah stirred the fire with a long stick, his jaw set in that firm, commanding way I was used to. The air of authority around him made it clear he was the Alpha. But toni

Wiping the soap suds o my hand against a kitchen towel furiously, I turned to the handsome devil in front of me. “I can’t be what you want me to be Alpha Elijah.” It’s being a whole month of Alpha Elijah ruthlessly chasing after me in frenzied acts of romance and seduction and I was about tired of it all. Take for example today. I was in the kitchen washing dishes and he decides he wants to do all of his Alpha duties here today . He had created a workplace made of a kitchen table ridiculously close to the sink. Why yo might ask- He wanted to be closer to me. The man was trying to drive me nuts.He looked up and pulled his brows together in amused confusion, “Whatever do you mean?”.Seeing the pointed look in my eyes, he sighed and stood up fro his makeshift desk. “Aegis,I’m not asking you to be anything but yourself.

Aegis's Point Of View.“Gee-gee” The little girl squealed happily as she raced past me. My heart softened as the sight of the joy on the little Cece's face as she chased after the other pups with a wide smile on her face. The Pack kindergarten space was a large grassy area that smelt like Pine, thatch and wet earth with little brown thatch huts around it in a circular fence. The sun had dipped low behind the hills, painting the horizon in shades of purple and gold as the last rays filtered through the thick forest surrounding the kindergarten. It was a very nice touch, I’ll admit. This pack clearly loved their children because I had ever seen anything like this before. But then again they didn’t have parents like mine.Children raced all around, some playing pretend houses in the huts, some painting weird looking childish paintings, some drawing and pushing their friends on swings more than heavy for their little bodies.There was one thing constant here- Laughter and joy.

I could almost see his head rolling across the giant conference table. A head rolling across the entire room before being turned to its inevitable form_dust. Elijah was about to kill Elias. Okay maybe I’m being dramatic but Elijah was mad mad. I now understood why Elijah was so particular about me being here. His constant almost wary insistence that I babysit Cece in the conference room today totally made sense now. She calmed him down enough that he wasn’t responsible for murder today, his words not mine. I finally got sworn in as an official member of the pack. Yayy I know. Elijah had been rather smug about it, scratch that he loved it.A small smile crept on his face at my line of thought. Oh did I forget to tell you. Being connected to the entire pack meant they had 24/7 access to your thoughts and feelings at every moment, well until you block them out that is. And lord knows I wanted to block out a certain big headed handsome Alpha out tonight but I have a feeling he would compl
