Luara's POV I felt my body wake yet my eyes stayed glued shut unable to open, all I could hear was people frantically moving around me until a hand began to stroke my face gently and I unconsciously moved into the comforting hand. "Luara, can you hear me sweetheart?"Lopez's comforting voice surrounded me as I laid there still and feeling numb. My whole being felt heavy, as if a house had fell on top of me.I moaned in pain as I opened my mouth a little needing air, my airway feeling constricted."We need to get her to the infirmary." Lopez cried as she kept stroking the hair out my face as I continued to struggle to open my eyes, deciding it was best to keep them shut to not waste any energy I might have."I'll pick her up as gently as I can, you go get Bryan." Luke ordered, Lopez was frantic and was unable to think clearly.His hands carefully go underneath my body, one arm supporting my back and the other my legs. I was engulfed in Luke's scent as he slowly picked me up into his
Bryan's POV I stood up, swiftly catching my daughter as Luara lost her grip, her muscles going limp as she lost consciousness.A pack nurse immediately rushed over, reaching out to grab my daughter from my hands as I carefully placed her into her arms.My chest felt heavy as I stared down at my mate in panic, my heart beating rapidly as I grabbed the standing heart monitor that was monitoring Luara's heart rate.Her heart beat was rapidly losing strength as her chest began to rise and fall slowly, the sound echoing through the room, her heart's rhythm slowing and weakening with each agonizing second that went by. My head swung to the side at I glared at the pack doctor, "Do something, bring her back!" I growled frustrated as I began walking towards him.He backed away, trying to move from my line of sight as he quickly moved round the hospital bed. "Alpha, you need to calm down." He ordered weakly, his hands making vulnerable hand gestures as he tried to defuse the situation."Yo
Bryan's POV By the time I had finished explaining as much as I knew to Torey, he was wanting to rush over here with Eva, both concerned about their daughter.Not knowing fully what had happened made it difficult. We would all have to wait until Luara woke up to know the whole truth.Like me, Torey was furious and his wolf wanted blood.It was late, and in the early hours of the morning when I phoned him, I had barely slept as I went back and forth with visiting the pack infirmary. I managed to get a small amount of sleep the next evening.It was nine o'clock according to my laptop, as I stayed busy in my office. I had phoned numerous packs surrounding my territory informing them of the situation.I had delegated my pack wolves with searching the territories on all sides in case Mac was lying, trying to protect his mate.Lopez kept coming into my office trying to force fed me food which I continuously turned away, my appetite clearly not apparent. It was something she did often."Brya
Bryan's POV Torey turned to look at me smirking slightly, "They won't be expecting this." He concludes as we all sat down in my office going through the plan.Torey and Prince both agreed that it would be best to attack them in the unclaimed territory, it would provide more protection for our wolves since Melinda and Alec were hiding between mine and Prince border.Prince frowned when I had shared the information, my trackers still observing out of slight while keeping tracks on both wolves providing me with information every few hours.They had informed me that there were around forty rogues who were in and out of an old abandoned warehouse located deep within the woods, they had overheard them speaking about Alec attempting to take my Alpha title. I chuckled darkly, amused at Alec's deluded ideas.After hours of discussion, we had all agreed that we needed to attack first as thankfully we had the element of surprise.Maxwell was due to arrive soon, we wanted to attack within the n
Luara's POVAll that could be hear was Lopez's gasp as she looked at her son, and then to Bryan.Her eyes were full of worry as she stared at my mate, everyone deadly silent for a few moments as tension began to fill the air.Andrew had an impassive expression and he was now hiding his emotions yet his eyes showed exactly how anxious he felt. His chest rising and falling in quick succession as we all waited for Bryan to speak.He didn't, and it was Lopez who brought him out of his trance. "Bryan?" Lopez said, as she moved around the table to stand next to him, her hand linking around his arm. Bryan's closed look turned into a questionable one.He knew exactly what everyone was thinking as his concentration turned from Lena to Andrew."I'm not going to kill your mate Andrew." He confirmed, his voice low.Bryan was known to be merciless when it came to rogues, and we had all experienced or heard the stories about how he would brutally kill them with no compassion or kindness.Lopez look
Bryan's POV My eyebrows furrowed into a deep frown as my mind contemplated and analysed the words that came out of the wolfs mouth.A dark growl rumbled deep within my chest as it began to get tight from anger. I turned towards Andrew then to Allen and finally my mate who all stared at me with wide eyes."Stay here with them." I ordered Andrew, who quickly moved back into the cell allowing me to slam the cell door shut forcing them all to stay put and unable to leave on their own accord. Quite frankly, I don't trust Andrew's mate with mine. It all seemed very convenient and predictable that Alec has chosen this moment to attack and I wasn't about to leave Luara alone with a rogue regardless of her mate bond with my Beta. "Bryan!" Luara shouted as I slammed the lock down, staring through the small window trying to capture my attention but I moved back, giving her a quick glance as I rushed out the room.I grabbed the boy's arm, dragging him behind me as we jogged towards the exit as
Bryan's POV "Bryan I," Torey began but I cut him off as I stood in front of him and Prince."Torey, you don't need to say anything. You and I deal with things very differently and in my eyes, she deserved it." I stated knowing that he was shocked at what had happened. At how brutal and merciless I could be.He probably expected me to kill her quickly and snap her neck in two, but I didn't want to give her that pleasure.She wanted to kill my mate and my daughter, and my wolf and I didn't take that too kindly.She had taken so much from my mate, and Luara hasn't even realised. I haven't been able to tell her that she wouldn't be able to have another child.Prince caught my attention as he grabbed my right wrist, looking down at my second- or third-degree burns. "You need to get that sorted." He said as he dropped his grip, looking at me with a frown.I mind linked Greg to set up the pack infirmary for our wolves and for him to check my hands.I looked around, watching as my pack wolve
Luara's POV "I'm so sorry Luara but you won't be able to conceive anymore pups. Greg tried his best but he had to remove your ovaries due to the silver. You've given me the most precious gift and I couldn't be more grateful for the pup you've given me."Bryan's words were swirling around my mind repeatedly as his words sink in. My heart hammering vigorously in my chest, my breaths coming out short and shallow.The pain was indescribable, it felt as if my mate had physically ripped my heart out with his bare hands or drowning me in freezing cold water.My voice getting caught in my throat, unable to speak as my mind raced, and all I could do was stare blankly at Bryan. My teeth gripping my lower lip, curling it in as I bite down harshly. My blood running cold as my mind wonders into a different universe.I opened my mouth to speak yet an invisible hand cupped my mouth forcing my words to be inaudible.Bryan kept my gaze. His eyes filling up with emotion as he looked at me sadly as he
