SWNOVELS Chapter 53
Skylar's POV
As soon as I got to the pack hospital and found my daughter's room I knew by the look on the doctor's face that it was bad. I sat on the edge of my little girls bed as I watched her sleep knowing that they put her out so that they could take some blood samples and run some tests on her. He left us to be while he went to check on the tests to see if the results had come in and as soon as he was back I saw the grim expression on his face and I knew what he was going to say before he even said anything.
"Luna I have some grave news about Lilith's condition.” Doctor Ramsay said in a quiet tone
I looked up to him and gave a weak smile as tears shone in my eyes but refused to fall.
"I know what you are going to say doctor. I know that the bites the vamp gave her injected more venom into her system and since she is part Hell Hound with Alpha blood from me and Jace he system isn't shutting down like it should be. No her body is adjusting to it which is making everything about her speed up, her growth, her development, and her aging. Normally this amount of venom should be lethal to any werewolf but since she isn't a normal werewolf her body is acting differently because of the magic of being part Hell Hound. I know that what happened today is has shortened her life expectancy even more since the venom is destroying her cells at an even faster rate.” I say to him making him hang his head down in shame in the fact that he can't do anything to help her no one can.
He left shortly after to let me sit with Lilith until she woke up from the sedative they had to give her. I didn't even notice that Jasper was sitting in the chair next to her bed until he placed his hand on my knee to give me some sort of comfort knowing that his Luna needed it. As soon as I looked over at him the tears ran down my face knowing that my time with my daughter had been cut even shorter now and I needed to tell Jace but I wasn't going to tell him until he came back which would be sometime tomorrow night since it didn't take long to do the paperwork or meeting with the Mystic Pack since they already were aware of everything and had everything set up in advance.
Once Lilith woke up Jasper and I brought her back to the house and made something to eat since we knew she would be hungry. As soon as we got to the house Jasper went to the kitchen to make us all some burgers and fries while Lilith napped in my arms as I sat in a recliner in the living room as I hummed a lullaby to my little one. When Jasper was done I woke Lily up and we ate our food and then Lilith fell back asleep once her tummy was full so I went and placed her in her bed. After I got back down stairs I could hear growling and that's when the scent of someone familiar hit me. I growled as I got closer to the front door where he stood Lucas Gray our former beta.
"What are you doing here you traitor?” I demanded in my Luna tone "Welcome home Luna Skylar I am so pleased to see you again. How is your little girl I hope the vamp wasn't too rough with her" Lucas smirked evilly at me
A loud growl escaped my chest as Jasper held me back from ripping him to shreds, "You sent him didn't you! You knew what happened to my little girl when I was taken and you knew that her body reacts differently to their venom because of her being part Hell Hound!" I scream at him as I glare daggers at him as he sneers at me
"Well I needed a back up plan since you were never supposed to be rescued from him but oh well. I needed to get revenge on your mate for killing mine even if he didn't know she was my mate. She was a rogue and during an attack years ago we saw each other form across the battle field and we were making our way towards each other and then the next thing I knew Jace came running towards her from the side and killed her instantly. Ever since that day I had vowed to get my revenge on him for killing my mate, I was going to kill you once he found you but I couldn't come up with any sort of plan good enough until I heard about your situation and contacted him and helped him with his plans as I fed him the info he needed and then you got pregnant. After I found that out it made me think of another plan to hurt Jace by going after your little girl and Vance helped introduce me to the vamp and helped me set everything into motion." Lucas revealed quite easily to me as he gloated at the fact that he's the reason my little girl is dying. Jasper was having a hard time keeping me held back from ripping his throat out right then and there as my rage and wolf were trying to take control
I growled loudly at him as I struggled to get free of Jasper's grasp and not succeeding at all. I only calmed down a little bit when I heard Jasper ask him the one question that's been bouncing around my mind since I saw him standing in my doorway.
"Why are you hear now Lucas what do you want?" I heard Jasper ask through gritted teeth
"Oh I just thought I'd pay my old Luna a visit and see how Lilith was doing and to warn you that this isn't over yet." He said grinning like the idiot he is.
"Oh you thought you were going to get away from here alive after this not a fucking chance. I killed the vamp you sent yesterday and it felt great to rip his head clean off of his body and they are naturally faster then wolves except I'm faster.” I grin wickedly at the fear crossing his face as what I told him sunk in finally that he had made a mistake coming here in person.
"You better start running I'll give you a 5 second head start before I let Skylar go" Jasper smirked at Lucas as fear rolled off of him in waves before he turned and shifted and started running off. 5 seconds later and Jasper let me go as I bolted out the door shifting in mid air as I chased after the traitorous bastard that hurt my family. I caught up to him in no time flat making him whine as he skidded to a stop and change directions. I played with him like this for a while until he thought about attacking me instead of running away.
He lunged but I dodged everything he threw at me like it was nothing. He did this dance for a while until he collapsed to the ground exhausted as my eyes gleamed in joy that he had finally given up. I grabbed him by the scruff of his neck and dragged his whimpering flailing ass back to the house with no effort since I was much bigger then he was. I threw him to the ground and stood over him with my paw on his throat making sure he didn't move a muscle and every time he did and tried to get away I would put more pressure and growl at him until he stopped. I linked 2 of the best warriors to come and grab this shit head and put him in the farthest cell and chain him up with the silver chains and inject him with wolfsbane to weaken him until Jace came home to help decide his fate for the actions he took against his pack.
