Chapter Chapter Twenty-Three
[Kin's POV]
The Next day
I was getting worried about Ra'ne's food intake. He barely ate any meat and when he did it was comparatively a mouse sized portion. I had asked Arion to check him a number of times but every time he had Arion had said the both Ra'ne and the pup were both fine and healthy.
It had left me dumbfounded. I had no idea what was going on with my Mate and it worried me beyond reason. He hadn't eaten any meat in the past week and now that we knew he was pregnant I was extra worried for his health and the health of our pup.
I wanted to know what Arion had wanted to say but I had gotten busy trying to look out for anything out of the usual. The Elders had heard both my story and Ra'ne's before leaving to go back to the Conclave. They had to convene and come to a decision.
I was expecting them to strip Grissa of everything and then for the Rouge Alpha to come for my Mate and pup. I had everything ready for the coming attack but I was not even remotely prepared for what happened.
[Ra'ne's POV]
I was sitting on the couch in Kin's office when a knock sounded softly on the door. I quickly made my way to Kin's side not wanting to be close to whoever was on the other side of the door.
I was still scared of people who were not my Mate. Mostly because I don't know what they would do to me. Slowly the bedroom door opened and a small female poked her head in.
Kin sighed and stood straight to look at the tiny female. "Come in Celine, its all right." He said, his voice soft but not as soothing as it would be if he were trying to soothe me.
I looked at the female, Celine, as she came inside the room and closed the door. "Big brother, why haven't you been at dinner?" She asked her little voice practically reaching for Kin.
Kin turned to me, gently pulling me in front of him. "I found my Mate. I have been with him little sister." He replied as he took my hand firmly in his.
His sister? I thought to myself. I didn't know he had siblings.
'Yes we did. Kin said he had brothers and sisters that annoyed him. At least I think that's what he said.' Came Skies soft spoken words.
He was hiding for some reason. When Celine came in Skie went to the back of my mind where he hides.
Celine looked up finally to see me standing in front of Kin, wrapped in his arms. She smiled and started to step forward before Kin held his hand up.
"Not too close Celine, I am too protective still for anyone to get too close to us." he said and I could hear a low growl in his chest.
His sister smiled even brighter and stepped back. "I am so happy for you Kin!" she exclaimed as she began to study me. He soft blue eyes were kind and she had a clam aura about her but I was still to scared to move.
'It's all right my little ember Celine is an Omega and she wouldn't hurt a fly even if she could.' Kin said to me through our Mate link, getting a very shocked look from me.
An Omega was born to an Alpha family?! I didn't know that was even possible. I looked from Celine to Kin in curiosity getting a soft giggle from Celine. They knew I was shocked to know that Celine was an Omega.
Kin smiled and kissed my forehead, "My mother is an Omega, love. She was my father's chosen Mate." Kin said getting another curious look from me. "I will explain that to you another time. For now we need to get some food in that stomach of yours. Our pup will be hungry." he said getting a happy little squeal from Celine.
"You are having a pup already!!" she exclaimed happily.
I nodded shyly, still not sure if I was really ready for all of this. I was going to not only be the Luna but a mother as well and I was getting overwhelmed by it all. There was so much already going on in my life that I had no time to really understand what had been going on. I looked around me and I felt the panic suddenly grip my entire body.
"Ra'ne ... " Kin called out to me, his hands holding onto me before I ripped away from him to run away from him and into the halls.
I ripped at each door in the hall hoping one was open and was a bedroom that I could hide in. I needed silence and darkness. I needed to be alone right now and I needed to do it NOW!!
Finally I found a door that was open and it was an empty bedroom. I quickly shoved everything in front of the locked door and pulled up the floor before hiding under the floor boards pulling them back over me where they had been before.
I began to dig into the ground making my own little bed. I was going to go to sleep and think about everything that was going on. This was all just too much. I was not used to having so much, being expected to be so much.
So many people were talking to me, not yelling at me. I was not being hit or screamed at. I was not used to any of any of this and I didn't know how to handle any of this. What was I supposed to do? Was I supposed to smile? How do I smile? Was I supposed to talk back to them? What was I supposed to say?
I had so many questions floating in my head that Skie's pleading voice was drowned out. I felt tears fall down my face as I shut myself away from everything and everyone. I pulled myself further under the floor boards and fell asleep.
