Chapter 57 - Shock

last update Last Updated: 2024-10-29 19:42:56
Jackson POV

I am racing through the forest when I hear the gunshot. “Carrie!” I yell through our mind link, but it is still closed. I know she was angry that I took Rosie to the Pack hospital, but I had no choice. I would have done that for any Pack member. And the fact that many know Rosie is pregnant and allegedly with my pup, has many eyes on me. I had to do what was right and would explain that to her. But I also did not see what had happened and I needed to know. I trusted Carrie and do not believe she would have done anything like that. But I needed her to confirm it for me.

As I clear the forest line, I see that the rogues have run off, with a couple having been captured. My bigger target is the crowd surrounding what I assume is the whomever got hit by the bullet. I push my way through the crowd and guiltily breathe an internal sigh of relief. Carrie was not hit.

I want to pull her into my arms, but I see her sitting beside the bod

Thank gosh Jessica is okay!!! Awesome Carrie!!! Still disappointed in Jackson though. He obviously doesn’t trust Carrie if he needed to confirm Rosie’s story. He could settle the Rosie problem with a DNA test if he wants confirmation of something important.

    Jackson POV I had been pacing Carrie’s hospital room floor for most of the night. The doctor had just been in to check on her. They had removed the bullet from her arm. She would have another scar, but they were able to clear out the silver that had entered her blood stream.The reality is that there is little experience with a hybrid wolf such as Carrie, so they did not have a lot of answers. They felt she would be fine; she had simply burned off an excess of energy with her healing and now her body was healing itself. Her resting was not what had me on edge. The way things were between us before she blacked out were on my mind. And hearing from the doctor that they were keeping Rosie for observation, was weighing on my mind. What game was Rosie playing and how could she convince our doctor to support her ridiculous behaviour? Or had something happened and I was simply being ignorant to it all. There was a tap on the door. Taking one quick

    Jessica POV I felt butterflies in my stomach at the thoughts of being with Carleton again. We had been magic before. Would we be magic again? The lack of sparks concerned me. Hell, it terrified me, if I was going to be honest. I had made so many mistakes; there had been so many misunderstandings. Was the Moon Goddess punishing me for my choices? As I stood in front of Carleton, he pulled me forward kissing me with the promise of more. I swayed into his arms, and he released my lips simply holding me. I felt like I was home in his arms. “Let’s get you dressed and then get some food into you,” Carleton murmurs stepping away from me. I see a pile of clothes on the table, “Mandy brought those for you. She was camped out most of the night until Josh and I convinced her to go get some rest,” Carleton tells me. Mandy was like a baby sister to me. I would feel the loss of seeing her every day. Of being with her. When I had first met her, she w

    Jackson POV I continued to sit by Carrie’s bedside refusing food when it was offered. I was sick with worry. I did not want our fight to be the first thing she thinks about when she wakes up. I look at the door to Carrie’s room as it opens, and I see a doctor walk through. “Alpha, I hate to bother you but there is a Pack member waiting outside to see you,” she says. “Who?” I ask annoyed at being interrupted. “Rosie; she wants to update you on the pup,” she says embarrassed to be bringing this to me in my mate’s room. “I am not leaving my mate,” I reply looking away from the doctor. She nods but before she can exit the room, Rosie saunters in as if she owns the place. “Jax, I need to speak with you,” she says in her annoying voice. I had never realized just how annoying it was until I had met Carrie. “I said no,” I say standing to escort her out of the room. She dodges my hand and walks closer to Carrie. “Get the hell away from my mate!” I

    Jackson POV It had been hours since Christian had left. I was starting to wonder if I should not go and meet with the rogues myself. I hated the thoughts of leaving Carrie, but if they had information that would help me help her, I needed to consider that a priority. As I stood to walk over to Carrie’s bedside, I hear a sharp knock on the door. I walk back towards the door, opening it and seeing both Carleton and Christian standing in front of me. “What?” I ask confused as I had not expected to see Carleton after he left with Jessica. And I did not understand why they were together. “We need to talk,” Christian says indicating it was confidential. I look back at Carrie, but knowing she can hear us, I do not want to burden her with more worry. I call a nurse over, “Stay with the Luna until I return. Nobody enters unless it is her doctor,” I say leaving the nurse with an Alpha command. “And call me immediately, if she wakes up,” I add.

    Carrie POV I am floating along hearing the vague discussions around me when suddenly pain grips my body. My chest is on fire. I am struggling to breathe. I can hear the shouting and I hear Jackson yell at me to fight. “Jackson?” I try to respond but the pain is debilitating. As if a switch is turned off, I find myself in a black void. Nothing. No sounds. No Jackson calling to me. Just darkness. And silence. “Reba?” I call out. No response. I start to feel like I am going to hyperventilate but I am in space where breathing is not relevant or noticeable. I want to panic. Scream. Beg for mercy but I have nothing.And then next I am removed from my body, and I can see the scene unfolding below me. As if I am sitting in a corner watching a move as they fight to save me. I see Jackson trying to get to me but he is being held back by Christian and Carleton. I see the doctor shouting orders to the medical team.I cringe as I see them shock my body, trying to get

    Jackson POV I hold my breath trying to listen to what Christian is telling me to listen to. All I can hear is the blood pounding in my ears. The pain is destroying me. I cannot breathe and I cannot hear. Suddenly there is a faint sound that teases my hearing. I sit up trying to get closer to the sound. I dare to look to Carrie and see her color returning. How is this possible? I watched her die. I felt our mate bond break. I slowly reach my hand out to touch her hand, and I feel a sense of calm wash over me. I am lulled into a sense of peace as I hear a slow, but consistent beep. The machine is beeping! I was hearing it more clearly now. I slowly stand beside my mate and stare at the rise and fall of her chest. She was back. I do not know how, but I feel myself fall to her chest simply sobbing uncaring who is present. I sense people moving away from us, giving us privacy as I thank the Moon Goddess for this incredible miracle.

    Carrie POV I could feel myself surfacing from the clouds. I felt like I was back in my body. My chest was sore, but not as bad as it had been. I could feel sparks on my hand, “Come back to me, baby,” I hear Jackson saying over and over again. One more layer of dust, and I will be free. I will be able to communicate with him. “Reba?” I call out. I hear some shuffling, “I am here,” she calls out sounding distant. “It is time,” I reply. “I am ready,” she says sounding stronger and closer to me. With that last step, I called out to Jackson through our mind-link, “Jackson?” I say sounding weaker than I felt. I felt him stiffen beside me, “Carrie?” he asks cautiously as if he is not trusting himself. “I am on my way back to you,” I reply stronger and more confident. I feel him kiss my hand, and then my forehead. As he is starting to move back from me, my eyes slowly open. I blink at the brightness against my eyes that have not been open for a

  • The Luna's Fated Mate   Chapter 65 - Testing

    Jackson POV As we stand there waiting to go into the room where the DNA samples will be collected, I cannot help but feel a sense of disgust at myself for being in this position. Disappointed that if this is true, it will devastate my mate. Carrie has been amazing, but how much can she take before it becomes too much? “Stop worrying Jackson. I am not going anywhere,” Carrie murmurs beside me. I pull her into my arms, “How did I get so lucky to have you as my mate?” I ask her as we stand there holding one another. “I will remind you of that when I have a temper tantrum,” she says with a chuckle. A temper tantrum or two would be warranted. With her own fertility worries, on top of this mess, she deserves to be angry. And hurt. But she is displaying none of that. Right now, she is being here for me and for that I am grateful. “Are you hungry? You have not even eaten or been to the Pack house yet,” I ask with concern. “This will no

    Carrie’s POV Jessica, Mandy, and I sat watching our pups. Jessica and Mandy each had a boy. We had thought one might be a female but had a pleasant surprise when two males were born to my two best friends. Colton, Rosie’s pup and my half-brother, were playing with the boys. It was easy to see they were best friends being born so close to one another. Unless Colton was upset about something. Then his temper showed through. We were concerned and already working with him to control his anger. Even at his young age, we knew we needed to build the capacity within Colton to control himself, at all times. It was challenging for Jackson and me. Having a gifted child when I was still learning my own talents was keeping us on our toes. He was going to be more talented than me. It is incredible but we now believe that my father had enhanced his powers in some way that resulted in Colton’s talents being enhanced. The challenge of trying to anticipate

    Carrie POV Before I can move, Christian steps forward. I see tears in the doctor’s eyes as she looks at her mate, knowing her fate. “Please, I am sorry,” she whispers as Christians looks at her with hate in his eyes. He is owed this. She almost destroyed him and the fact that she is his mate is only a cruel twist of fate. He leans forward placing his lips on hers. One solitary kiss from his mate before he reaches his hands up to her neck and snaps it as her lips rest on his. He steps back, cradling her body in his arms. I feel tears of my own rise up as I watch helplessly at our friend being forced to deal with the crappy hand he had been dealt. Without saying anything else, Christian turns and walks out of the gala event with his dead mate in his arms. Nobody spoke. They simply watched the tragic event in slow motion. As Christian exits the building, I can hear people starting to speak softly. Talking about calling it a night. Sadly, I a

    Carrie POV Christian cut off the words the doctor was about to say. “Christian!” I yell wanting to hear what she had to say. Christian was determined to snap her neck. Jackson was beside him trying to unwrap his hands around her neck. My mother kept yelling for Christian to do it. “Christian stop!” I command with all my power. Many surrounding us started to drop to their knees at the wave of power that left my body. Christian dropped his hands turning his angry glare on me. The female doctor leans forward gasping for air. “Why?” Christian demands. “We need to know who Rosie’s baby’s father is, Christian,” I say to him trying to reason with him. “It is my right to destroy her,” he says with anger. “I understand but this is important,” I say to him looking to Jackson. I know he is wondering as well and wants the answers from her. I feel a sense of trepidation as I move towards the woman. My mother is struggling to get out of Josh’s hands,

    Carrie POV I block the bolts of power coming at me with my arms. It is as if my arms have become shields of steel and I simply have the intuitive awareness of how to deflect her attack. She moves closer as I step back. Taking a chance, I flip my right arm and make like I am tossing something at her. It shocks her and she stumbles backwards with a smirk, “Just testing out your powers, I see,” she says as she steps closer to me pushing a stronger wave of force at me. Before I can respond I am pushed backwards. My shoes fall off and I land on my ass. I hear Jackson yell my name, but I cannot look to him. I have to focus on the threat. She continues to stalk towards me as I crawl backwards trying to get my bearings. I am working my way towards standing when she slams into me again this time knocking me back and winding me. “If you were smart, you would stay down. As much as I want you dead, your father would never forgive me for destroying you

  • The Luna's Fated Mate   Chapter 119 - Party Crashers

    Jackson POV It has been a week since Carrie received the email from her mother. After a few months reprieve I had started to wonder if they would just give up. I had hoped they would give up. They were after something. I simply did not know what it was. Carrie was too independent. She could live on her own without them. She had always wanted her mother but not like this. Not this woman who had seemingly abandoned her at a young age for the greater good, as she liked to imply. We were all getting ready for the Gala event we were hosting. We had spent every waking moment well into the wee hours of the night, planning for every type of attack we could imagine. Christian had gone darker if that were possible. Now that the end was imminent, I knew he would take out the female doctor, or die trying. And that scared me. He had no fear of death. It was as if he had looked it in the face once and he was prepared to die if it meant taking out his

    Carrie POV It has been three months since we last saw my mother, brother, or his mate the female doctor. Everyone has been on intense alert since that fight. Our warriors were exhausted from all the additional training and extra shifts they have been taking to protect the Pack. Jessica has settled into her job working with Carleton for the Wolf Council. They continue to try and find leads as to where my family is but have had no luck. They are all wanted and considered dangerous. There are huge bounties on all of them. I do not want them captured. I want them dead. They are wreaking havoc with my family and my doctor is concerned the stress is impacting my ability to get pregnant. I am exhausted myself worrying about how much I have brought to Jackson’s doorstep. He continues to tell me to stop worrying. He will stand by my side regardless. But the Pack did not sign on for this either. They continue to be supportive, but I know they are

  • The Luna's Fated Mate   Chapter 117 - Long Gone

    Carrie POV Jackson returned to us and shared what they learned so far. Which was not much. My mother had attempted to have Randy freed, but Jackson quickly replied, “It is out of my hands. The Wolf Council is taking him into custody, and he will be charged accordingly.”. “That is outrageous. We have neutralized the threat!” my mother exclaims. “Take it up with Carleton. He is making transfer arrangements as we speak,” Jackson says without sympathy. “Carrie you must do something to help your brother,” my mother pleads with me. Shaking my head, “I am sorry, but I cannot. He betrayed me and my Pack; had he succeeded it would have been the end of us,” I reply to her. Jackson looks at me with love and pride at my response. The rage that crosses my mother’s face surprises me, but she quickly contains it. That causes me to pause for a moment as I watch her. “You have his wolf, his powers … what more do you want?” she asks coldly. “It is not abo

    Carrie POV “Do you sincerely believe he deserves to have his wolf, after all that he has done?” my mother asks. I sit with that question. Did I think he deserved his wolf? I had not been prepared to help save him, yet I worried about him being without a wolf. A wolf was so much a part of who we were. And having been without my wolf for so long, I could easily identify with the devastation. “I do not know the answer to that question,” I respond honestly. “Well, you have time to decide,” my mother replies. “What do you mean?” I ask. “You have taken his wolf into your care; you can give it back or let the wolf go to its resting place. The choice will solely be yours,” my mother says softly. I sit back in my chair and chew my food slowly. Mandy is sitting silent listening to the conversation. “What do you think?” I ask her as she looks at me in surprise. “I think it is as your mother has said. It is your choice; your decision,” she replies.
