(Book 2) – Chapter 68
“They are fine. The pack warriors got them onto pack lands and into the pack house before anything could happen.” Andrew assured me. “You taught our sister well in defensive tactics and how to be a bomb a*s b***h. The other pack has tried to attack a few times but have failed each time.” He laughed at that.
“She is a better Alpha then either of us would have been.” Asher admitted with a shy smile.
“I don’t believe that for a second but thank you for making me feel better about all the actions I have taken so far.” I thanked him knowing he was full of s**t. “Now how about we get the doctor so I can get the hell out of here.”
“Nope. You are here for the next few days. Suck it up buttercup.” Edgar warned me.
“Fine but someone is wheeling or carrying me down to see Melissa or I will get out of this bed and walk my happy a*s by myself.” I growled out.
“How bout we give you our news and then you can head down?” Knox asked as he and Kane walked back into the room. They looked sad which didn’t mean well for me.
“Umm maybe I should see her first if this is going to be bad news.” I said with a gulp.
“Sorry, baby doll. This really needs to be discussed now so we can figure out our next steps on where we are headed and how to increase your security and safety.” Kane said trying his best to compromise and keep me happy. “There is NOTHING wrong with you so stop thinking the worst.”
“It’s hard not to when you both are acting so strange and freaking me the hell out.” I scoffed at them. “You keep forgetting we can feel how each other is feeling and I know both are stressing out.”
Knox huffed and sulked toward the bed bringing a chair with him. “Fine, you are right. I am stressed the hell out. So hold my hand and lets have this chat so I can relax and take care of my woman.”
“Ok. But after a k**s from each of you. I am feeling super needy right now.” I compromised. They all smiled before forming a line to get me a smooch. By the end I wished we weren’t in a hospital room.
“Ok, so the being sensitive to sounds and light with the overwhelming power is something that will happen often if we don’t have you using your powers.” Knox explained. “You have all of your mates which means you have all your power and all the different powers you will have. He mentioned you may have a few powers that haven’t shown themselves yet so we should test out a few other past relatives have had to see if you also have them.”
“Ok, so if I use my powers more often or just use some of my power in general the pain won’t be there? I won’t accidently mind link the entire werewolf kind something I just want to say to you all.” I could do that if it meant not linking the dirty things I often linked my mates. That would be the worst thing ever.
“That and it means your aura is stronger causing you to have a bigger target on your back. So you can’t go anywhere alone even to the bathroom.” Kane stated watching for my reaction.
I could feel Blue getting a tad bit pissed with them thinking I couldn’t just drain someone of their b***d or have nature tear them limb from limb. If anything as strong as I feel now I will be the one protecting them from the batches of crazy witches. I get it is their instinct to protect their mate but damn.
‘What about the baby?’ Blue asked causing my face to drop.
‘Baby? What baby? Melissa’s?’ I know we talked about being pregnant before but I just don’t believe it.
‘I know you feel another presence in your body but you are ignoring it.’ Blue said with a huff. ‘It is time to woman up and take notice. We are having a pup and that means we have to take care of ourselves better.’
‘Shit.’ I closed my eyes while the guys were watching with curiosity. I found the heartbeat and the warmth in my womb. I really was going to have a pup..or more than one from the sound of the heartbeats. ‘More than one?’
‘Yes.’ Blue replied before going silent. She must be listening in on them as well.
“We will discuss you all being over dramatic males. For now I need the doctor and Luna to come here.” I stated completely ignoring that they were trying to figure out where my brain went just now.
“Are you ok? I linked mother and she was with the doctor so they are headed here.” Koda asked as he started looking me over hoping to figure out what was wrong.
“I am fine. Just need to speak with them…privately.” I made sure to state it in a firm voice so they wouldn’t argue but I guess it didn’t work.
“What did we just talk about?” Knox growled out.
“There is no way no matter who it is.” Asher argued with a glare.
“I don’t care if it is my mother…” Koda huffed as he started pacing.
“Excuse me, my darling mates. Who is the one with the powers?” I asked them calmly. “Who is the most powerful especially right now? Who is a female who tends to run on the crazy side? That would be me. Stop acting like the Luna is going to kill me. Geez.” I rolled my eyes at them before closing them. I was over it. I had too much on my plate to deal with that circus.
“I hate when she is right.” Edgar said as he kissed my forehead. “We can stand outside in the hallway to protect her and two of us could even go to the outside of the building by her windows.”
“Fine but if something happens I am going to have to hurt you.” Blake threatened before walking out of the room.
“Doc’s here with my mom.” Koda told me and kissed me. “Just be quick and let us know if you need anything.”
The rest of the guys followed him out. The Luna and the Doctor looked amused at their expressions. “Was there a funeral we didn’t know about?” Luna Bonnie teased knowing full well the guys were just sulking.
“Very funny. It’s not my fault I got stuck with a bunch of babies as mates. It is lucky they are cute and mean well.” I replied watching the doctor fidget with this paperwork. “So I am assuming there is something you haven’t discussed with the guys and I am thankful for that. Can the guys here what we talk about in here?”
They both shook their heads as they walked to my bed. Bonnie looked like she was ready to explode with excitement. The doctor looked nervous and ready to run the drop of a hat. This was going to be one sided conversation with him.
“It would be two somethings, actually.” Bonnie replied with a huge smile.
“This means they aren’t Koda’s. Does that bother you?” I asked her before turning to the doctor. “Did you do an ultrasound? Are they ok? Their heart beats are strong and they seem to be doing ok. I am nervous about using my powers or shifting while pregnant with them.”
“We did a small ultrasound to check for internal bleeding and saw the twins. They are healthy same as you.” The doctor replied before looking back at my chart. “I have no idea on any of this since I wasn’t around when your parents were pregnant with you. Is there a doctor who would know more or even had books on it?”
“They are still my son’s children since he is a part of your mating circle so they are my grandchildren. I can’t wait to announce it to my husband and the pack.” Bonnie answered excitedly. “I will wait till you tell the guys, of course.” I knew she wasn’t going to be too patient and honestly I didn’t want to be patient either.
“I know they want kids but I wanted to wait. I am nervous about how they will feel or act knowing I am pregnant. I can’t be put on the sidelines when this is my war and I have the most power.” I whispered. “I don’t want to fight with them. I want to be happy with them, win the war, have my babies come out healthy and knowing they are loved, and find my place as the queen.”
“You can do all that. Just be patient with the guys.” Bonnie patted my hand and stood up. “I bet a witch friend of mine knows a spell for extra protection of the womb. Have the twins contact their dad about a doctor to follow your every step that hopefully knows what you can and can’t do. That should help them feel a bit better.
“Sounds good. Please send them back in. I need to get this over with.” Bonnie hugged me and walked out with the doctor. The guys rushed past them to stand beside me again.
“What did they say? Are you ok? Can you leave?” Andrew was busting at the seems with questions and it made me feel much better.
“I love you guys with all of who I am. If I lost any of you I don’t know what I would do. Thank you for loving me and taking care of me no matter how big of a brat I am.” I told them with a tear slipping down my cheek.
“What’s wrong?” Asher asked right when Knox mentioned grabbing the doctor to explain himself and what was going on.
“So… I know I said I wanted to wait and I really did want to.” I started out.
“Wait? On what?” Koda and Blake asked at the same time.
“Ok so sit down and just listen. This will go faster and easier that way.” They all did as I said. “Ok so I am pregnant……with twins.” Bomb dropped and I was ready for the explosion.
