"Stay with me, baby," I heard Aaron cried.
"Baby, please, hold on," Stephen added, their faces are on my chest, sobbing.
"Oh, do shut up," I said to them with a smirk.
"Baby? Doctor! He's awake!" Aaron ran to the door and yelled. A few seconds later, Charlie came in with Avery on his tail.
"Hello, Luna," Charlie greeted, checked the papers from the clipboard on my bedside table and checked the things that are attached to me.
The medical branch of the new pack has their own writing system. It’s literally a whole other level of confidentiality. It’s composed of codes, letters, numbers, symbols, combined with color coding.
"Alphas, Avery, would you please leave me alone with Klyde, please?" Charlie said. The three hesitantly agreed before leaving.
"I didn't know you were a doctor," I said jokingly.
"4 PhDs on humans and 5 in the Supernatural ain't so bad," he replied. "Look, I have some news for you."
"Bad ones?" I asked.
"Do you want the bad one or the worse?" he said. I thought he was serious for a moment there, but he laughed it off. "Luna, you are immune to wolfsbane."
"Oh, my goddess. Margaret!" I said to him and was about to sit up when he held me down.
"She's okay, Luna. It was only a scratch to her, so she is okay." I relaxed at his words. "You however have a deep wound on your stomach and the blade almost hit the babies."
My world stopped for a moment there and I shook my head. "What?"
"Luna…"
–
"You're pregnant?!" Avery asked out loud.
"Shh, only the three of us know," I said to Avery, placing a hand over his mouth. “You, me and Charlie.”
"How long?" he asked.
"About a month," I replied. “So, the first time we mated… we– argh!”
"Gosh, that explains why you mix Nutella and cucumber," he said with a smile. Yep. He smiled. Ever since he mated with Charlie, Avery became a completely different boy – man… man-boy. "Oh, gosh. I have a surprise to you too."
He led me outside and head out to the training grounds. After the Olivia incident, the security has been tripled, making it safer for us to go outside.
There were four patrol wolves that bowed at me and I bowed back slightly. One of the patrol wolves had his lingering eyes on us to which the hair in my body stood up. It was weird for me for someone to look at me like that.
"Avery, what are we doing he– Oh, my goddess!" I yelled as I saw a black wolf that has almost the same size as mine. It was smaller than regular werewolves but built for speed and agility.
"Avery, you can transform!" I cheered. Avery licked my face. "And you seem kind of happy these days."
He reverted back to his human form, put on his clothes and gave me a toothy smile. His stoic expression is still there but unlike before, he smiles from time to time now.
"So, how are you gonna tell them?" Avery asked while we were walking inside. "You know the Alphas are going to find out sooner or later, right?"
"Tell us what?" Aaron asked from behind us.
I was frozen in place, struggling to say something. Struggling to say an excuse. I want to surprise my mates, like a grand one. But to surprise them, I have to hide this fact for now.
"That we're on good terms," Margaret interjected. She smiled and nodded in respect for her Alphas.
"Oh," was all my mates said. They stared at each other for a minute before smiling widely.
"That's good, Marge. Thank you," Stephen said, hugging his Beta.
"Yeah. Luna, a word please?" Margaret asked. I looked at my mates and they only nodded.
She led me to the balcony. Yes, the same balcony we got attacked but the guards are everywhere now, so it's all good.
I was about to ask her what the deal was but she only gave me a hug. A warm, sincere hug. I returned the hug after recovering from the initial surprise. It’s nice to have another new friend once in a while.
"Thank you," she said and tightened the hug.
"Y-You’re welcome," I replied. I felt her sob on my shoulders and I only rubbed her back to put her at ease.
"I don't hate you," she said, letting me go. "Well, I have to tell you my story."
I gave her a warm smile and led her to the chairs beside the balcony. The gentle light of the sun and the gentle breeze of the cold morning air touched our skin. It was cold, and it’s getting colder.
"3 years ago, I met my mate. He was a human," she started. Wait, was? "But he was gay, married and a non-believer of the supernatural. He downright rejected me. I knew he felt the pull of our bond, but he broke it the same day we found each other. Breaking the bond on good terms would be okay. It will still hurt like a bitch, but it doesn’t have any side effect or negative impact.”
She broke down in tears again, I sat next to her and offered my shoulder for her to cry on. "It cost me my wolf and almost my title of Beta. Good thing I maintained my wolf form and most my strength. Other than that, I'm just like any warrior."
"Wait, you don't have your wolf anymore?" I asked her.
She sat up and shook her head. “I lost her the moment my former mate broke our bond.”
"Then who is Klint talking to?!"
