The Last Royal Luna

“Koda, you have to shift back.” Someone said near me. “You need a shower, food, and some rest in an actual bed. Please man. Ryder would not like to see you like this.” It sounded like it was Knox but it was muffled.

“Please, son. Listen to him.” Alpha Jerrick pleaded. I wonder why they are so worried about him. We just got done mating and marking each other before falling asleep in bed together.

‘Ryder….’ Blue g*****d out. What is wrong with her? OH MY GOSH. ‘Did you forget what happened you dingbat?’ Blue scolded me with a weak laugh coming from her.

I felt him shift back and all his pain hit me hard enough for my body to convulse but it didn’t. It felt like my body was paralyzed but my mind was working just fine. I could feel my anxiety start to hit me with all the doubts and fears that I pushed myself too far or that I didn’t have another mate and I took one too many causing me to overload. Stop it, Ryder, you are not a damn computer. Focus on what is going on around you so when you are able to move you will know some of what is going on.

“I can’t take it.” Koda cried out. “ This is my fault. I shouldn’t of rushed her or maybe my treating her like crap at first ruined our mating. Shouldn’t she be awake by now? I need her, mom.” Ugh, I officially hated ending up in the hospital after every mating and thank the goddess this was the last time for this s**t.

“Oh, baby boy.” His mother, Bonnie, whined out. “We all knew this would happen and we are just thankful that you found your mate. You both need each other and all of you are helping her get through this. Although I doubt she likes smelling you.” I knew I liked her. It did smell a bit rank in this room. It could have been me but I am blaming for my farting, sweating mates.

“What if she wakes up without me here? She passed out next to me and I need to be next to her when she wakes up.” I heard his steps get closer to me before feeling his hand take mine. “Baby, stay strong and get better quickly. I know your other mates are going just as stir crazy even if they have been through this a few times. It sucks balls if I am quiet honest.”

I laughed wishing I could show him I was here and that I was ok for right now. ‘The bonds…push our love…’ Blue whimpered before plopping her head and falling asleep.

Oh, ya. I felt for Koda’s bond with it shining the brightest since it was the newest and I shoved my love into it. I heard his gasp and his fingers squeezed mine harder.

“Ryder! Are you there?” He put his face up to mine. I wish I could see his face rather than feel his breathing on my lips.

“What happened?” The door swung open and I heard Kane shouting. “Is she awake?”

“Not that I can tell. She pushed her love into our bond.” Koda moved his head to my chest. “Her heart is beating. Hopefully this means she will be back with us soon.”

“I hope it happens soon. Too much s**t is piling up and I need her to be her bossy self.” Knox growled out. I am guessing both twins came running when they heard Koda which made me smile. I loved the bond they had as twins and brothers. I wonder if I would end up having twins. Would they have the same love for each other?

“What s**t is piling up? How are Melissa and Alistair holding up?” Alpha Jerrick asked from somewhere in the room. I was starting to feel tired again and sleep was pulling at me but I needed to know if my friends were ok.

“They are still beaten up but the doctor said rest is what is needed.” Knox explained and his voice sounded pained. What happened? Who hurt my bestie? What about the baby?

“And the baby?” Luna Bonnie asked like she knew what I was thinking and I loved her even more for that.

“Still watching. It is a fifty, fifty chance for the little bean to make it.” Kane told them. Who needs to die?

“Those damn witches. We should of known they wouldn’t side with the good side in all this.” Bonnie growled out. “There are only a few of them that would stand up for anything and the others are just followers of the most powerful. Stupid. I hope you made it hurt you took them down.”

“There are two alive in your dungeons. The others are dead and in pieces.” Asher told them as he walked in. “I am more worried about what Ryder is going to do when she hears about what they said about her family and them working on k********g them to use against us.”

Red…that is all I saw or thought….Red… Before pain exploded through out my body. The worst I have ever felt. It was like someone was skinning me alive while someone else poured acid on me. It was everywhere without relief.

“MAKE IT STOP. PLEASE. STOP THE PAIN.” I screamed out finally having the power to move my body and my body starting to thrash side to side.

“RYDER. Stop.” Someone yelled. “Get the f*****g doctors in here with any drugs that will help her with the pain.”

“PLEASE. NO. I…” I gripped my hair as hard as I could hoping it would make the pain lesson and let me focus on it but I couldn’t even feel my hair being ripped from head over everything else. “PL..EEE…SSSSSEEEE. HE….HE….HELP.”

The door swung open and several sets of footsteps ran in the room. “She needs all her mates in here touching her body somewhere to help take some of her pain away and take it onto themselves.” The person yelling got closer. “Get me the pain meds and get a nurse to get cold clothes to cool her body down. Her body is too hot to help fight off anything.”

“Baby, Please.” I heard Blake shout but everything felt lie it was getting farther away.

‘Blue, what is going on?’ She just whined and stayed laying down. ‘This better mean I will have some kick a*s powers, damnit.’

“The pain meds should be working by now.” The doctor told my mates as the surrounded me and put a hand on me wherever the could reach.

The pain went down to about a three on the pain scale and I was able to smile before passing out again.
