The Last Royal Luna

I went back to our house bypassing the living room and kitchen. I headed upstairs to my room. Our shared room that smelled like all of us. It used to be my comfort but now it just screamed that I was alone. They left and it all went to s**t. Why had they left when I needed them the most? Didn’t they know how scared I was to give birth without them? Didn’t they know I needed them just as much as everyone else? Now my parents were hurt and were being used as bargaining chips in this war and my life?

I grabbed a pillow, grew my claws, and shredded it. The noise of the fabric tearing added in with the feather guts going everywhere showed me I needed to take the edge off. I let loose tearing the room apart piece by piece. I started with the bed tearing the pillows hard enough the stuffing flew all around me before I started in on the mattress. That wasn’t enough damage to console my broken soul so I started on the pictures and frames until the floor is covered in glass. I didn’t even register the pain before moving on to pushing over what I couldn’t break.

When I was done it looked like a tornado had ran through my bedroom and bathroom. The tornado apparently had b***d with it since my feet had been cut so many times I covered the floor in b***d. Blue healed them as fast as she could but it didn’t matter.

‘Time to call the guys, Ryder.’ I hung my head and agreed before dialing Asher.

“Hey, Baby. Give me a second and Ill do a three way with the other group of guys.” I couldn’t respond before he started dialing Edgar. “Guys, get over here. Ryder is on the phone.” I heard pounding of feet get closer to the phone before I heard them fighting over who got closer to the phone.

I went back to the living room and sat down on the floor, pulling all the blankets around me, and waited for them to talk. I couldn’t find any words that were nice to say so I waited. This wasn’t their fault and I couldn’t take it out on them even though I was alone because they couldn’t trust even one person to take their spot.

“Hey, baby girl. I am here with Koda and Blake,” Edgar answered. He sounded out of breath so he must of rushed over there.”

“Ok, good. I have Andrew and the twins with me. We miss you,” Asher exclaimed blowing a k**s into the phone.

“Us too!” Blake yelled. He had to make sure he was heard.

Then there was silence. I didn’t know what to say. I didn’t know how to start a story explaining how I was failing and how much it hurt that I was without them. But then I thought about what would have happened if they were here and if one of them had gone with my parents? Would they be dead now? Would they have been taken along with my parents? Ugh, I was never this emotional before getting pregnant.

“Baby, are you there?” Koda asked and that is what broke me. My sweet, caring Koda.

“Why?” I croaked. “Why did you all have to go? Why did you leave me when I needed..need.. you the most? Why?” I sobbed harder, my shoulders shaking.

“What is going on? Are the babies ok? Are you in labor?” Andrew screamed. I could almost see his face filled with worry and anger contorting it to make him look like a character a kid would draw.

“They are fine. Still cookin but Melissa is in labor.”

“What is happening that is causing you to feel like this?” Koda whispered softly knowing I was on the edge of a breakdown.

“You all caused this! NOT ONE OF YOU THOUGHT TO TRUST SOMEONE TO GO IN YOUR PLACE OR AT LEAST HAVE ONE OR TWO OF YOU HERE FOR ME! EVERYTHING IS GOING TO s**t AND HERE I AM DEALING WITH IT ALL ALONE! ITS LIKE YOU ALL MADE SURE YOU HAD SOMEONE FROM OUR GROUP WITH YOU AND I WAS LEFT TO HANDLE IT ALL ALONE. WHAT THE f**k IS WRONG WITH YOU ALL?” I lost it. I roared at them gripping the phone tight enough that my hand was turning white. “THE PACK IS UNDER ATTACK, MY PARENTS WENT OFF PACK LANDS TO PACK UP THEIR HOUSE AND ARE NOW BEING HELD MY MELANIES FATHER, I LOST MY SISTERS FOR JUST A BIT, AND I CANT EVEN BE THERE FOR MELISSA. PARKER IS BUSY HELPING SANDRA AND HERE I AM DEALING WITH EVERYTHING. WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU EVERYTIME I NEED YOU?”

Silence.. stone cold silence. I was breathing heavily and sobbing so hard my chest hurt but all I got from the phone from them was utter silence. How did I get stuck with so many shitty mates? Is it just how all Alphas are?

“Ryder, I texted my beta and gamma. They are headed to you and wont be leaving your side until we get back. I am headed back with or without this job done. You are right and we f****d up. I will get on my knees and beg for you to forgive me. I will decision every decision from now on with you. I love you, I need you, I want you, and you are it for me.” Koda couldn’t get his words out fast enough. I heard the tremor in his voice and the slight stutter in some words to know he was breaking down.

‘Kids are safe. Sent my mate to help watch them. They just started to attack us with a few spells so please be somewhere safe and that you aren’t alone.’ Roger linked me causing me to miss out on whoever spoke next.

“s**t, I can’t do this.”

“Ryder,” Asher pleaded.

I went to answer him but all I felt was pain like some was taking their claws to my stomach. “Ahhhh..he..help.” I felt back to the ground on my knees before falling to my side to try to curl up. “pain…stop..pppleassSSE!”

“Ryder, RYDER RYDER. SAY SOMETHING.” Blake screamed into the phone before the rest of the guys started screaming things as well.

‘Ryder is at her house. Help us. SO much pain. Babies.. please.’ Blue linked Roger, Alistair, and Sandra hoping someone would be able to get to us.

‘Sending Willow, the coven leader from Serenity, who helps with rough magical pregnancies. I will be headed there in just a minute.’ Alistair replied back.

‘No, you stay with Melissa. We will be fine. I order it.’ Ryder pushed forward to respond before Blue could.

I heard him grumble something back but I ignored it. Roger sent a few trusted warriors my way along with a few to the hospital. The guys were still yelling into the phone.

“Pain..babies…head…home. Love..you.” I told them before I passed out.
