SWNOVELS Chapter 53
“She has been with you the entire time you were unconscious and hasn’t left your side even for once.” I hear Julia’s voice, from inside the room, “Just an hour ago Wyatt has sent her home to freshen up, she must be coming here any moment.”
“Go inside, we should not keep Alpha waiting for his Luna.” She nods her head towards the door giving an encouraging smile.
Nodding my head, I wipe my tears with the heels of my palm and smile.
Opening the door, I step inside to find Julia and Arthur standing beside Donovon, who is in a sitting position, as they are talking with him.
Donovon is smiling, looking Julia when his eyes shift to me making heart skips a beat.
Pressing my lips together, I try to stop myself from crying as it feels like ages have been passed since I have seen my favorite shade of grey, his eyes.
His smile becomes confused as he looks at me, he opens his mouth to say something when Julia turns to look at me and smiles.
“Here she is.” She grins, “Let's leave them alone.” She pats Arthur’s arms.
“Why?” Donovon asks, looking at her, “Where are you guys going?”
Hearing his voice sends a wave of relief all over me, as I was afraid I will not be able to hear his voice again.
Suddenly, I can’t stop myself as I break down into tears.
“Calm down.” Julia quickly comes to my side and pulls me into a hug, “He is okay, everything is fine now,” She gently murmurs.
I have been trying to stay strong during all this time, but now it seems like my tears are not ready to stop when I know my strength, my Donovon is here with me.
“Why are you crying?” Donovon asks with a small frown on his face as Julia unwraps her arms from around me.
Glancing at Donovon, I take a few long strides and throw my arms around him as a new set of tears spring into my eyes to have him back in my arms.
Placing his hands on my shoulders, he gently pushes me back as he looks at me with a frown.
“What are you doing?” He asks.
Something is amiss.
“Who are you?” He asks while I look at him in disbelief.
“Donovon, what are you saying?” I ask as I try to touch him.
“Please, behave yourself.” He pushes my hand away looking at me with disgust.
His words feel like a slap on my face.
“Is this the way to talk to your mate?” Arthur asks barely containing his anger.
“Mate?” Donovon looks at me, then laughs, “She is not my mate. I haven’t even found my mate yet.” He shakes his head.
“If this is some kind of joke then it is not funny, Donovon!” I feel myself getting worked up.
“If she is not your mate, then whose pup is she carrying?” Julia glares at him.
His eyes travel to my bump, he stares at it as he has just noticed my swollen belly.
His next words crush my entire world.
“Definitely, not mine.” He looks back at me unflinchingly and shrugs.
“Donovon!” Julia yells as her whole body shaking in anger, “Ivory is your mate and the pup she is carrying is your daughter. How could you say something so outrageous?”
Donovon’s gaze turned hard as he stands up from the bed, and walks towards me.
He harshly grabs my shoulders while glaring at me whereas I am too stunned to even react.
“Why the fuck you are pretending to be my mate?” His words filled with hatred, “And why are you telling everyone that I am the father of your pup?”
“And don’t you dare lie to me.” He digs his fingers in my flesh painfully, “I will kill you along with your child if you even think about lying to me.”
No words come out of my mouth while tears roll down my eyes, as I look at the person in front of me in disbelief.
Kill our child? His daughter?
Hasn't he promised that he will always protect me and our pup?
“Donovon.” Arthus growl shakes the entire room as he yanks Donovon away from me throwing him to the nearest wall just like he weighs nothing which shocks Donovon.
“I have tolerated enough of your nonsense, but now you have crossed the line.” He growls as he protectively stands in front of me, “Not only you have disrespected your mate, but you have even threatened to kill her, and your own unborn pup?”
“She is not my mate!” Donovon yells as his face turns red in anger, “I haven’t even found my mate.”
Julia comes to Arthur’s side and runs her hand up and down on his arm trying to calm him down as he is about to shift.
Donovon takes this as an opportunity and pulls me roughly to him, nearly making me stumble on my feet, without even caring that I am pregnant.
“If she is my mate then why I don’t feel the mate pull?” He questions, “Then why I don’t feel the sparks when I touch her?” He looks at me with venom.
This does catch my attention as even I am not feeling any sparks or warmth from his touch.
“Why my wolf...” He abruptly stops speaking as he steps back from me.
“My wolf?” He looks up looking lost, “I can’t feel my wolf.”
Wolfie?
“Dad, I can’t feel my wolf.” He panics as he holds his head.
My eyes widen as I look at him, and when I glance at Arthur and Julia even they look shocked.
“Storm.” He clutches his hair in his hands, “Why I can’t feel my wolf?”
Someone enters the room, and Donovon nearly runs to the person and engulfs her in his arms.
Fire growls angrily dying to come out and shred her into pieces for touching our mate. She even wants to punish Donovon for hurting us and touching someone else.
“Where were you?” He demands, “I was asking about you.”
“I was outside waiting for you to wake up,” She replies.
“My wolf... it is missing.” He says while holding her tightly, “I can’t feel him at all... there is no sign of him, Emma.” His voice slightly cracks, while my heart completely shatters inside my chest even Fire howls in pain.
“Calm down, we will sort out everything,” she speaks gently to him, “But now you need to rest.” She leans back and smiles at him.
“Please, stay with me.” He whispers looking at her, “Don’t leave me.”
“I will never leave you, Donovon.” She smiles as her words hold a promise, "Not again." She meets my eyes.
