CHAPTER 3-TRUTH UNCOVERED

Silence... More silence oh and did I mention deafening silence.

The words taking immediate effect as we all stood frozen unable to move. Standing for so long must have taken a toll because before I knew it, my legs giving up but before I can touch the ground I feel 2 strong arms wrap firmly around my waist pulling me up into a bridal hold.

I cannot put my finger on it but there is a strong pull. The slightest touch can make me feel calm, like everything is going to be okay. I cannot help but feel the explainable electricity travel down my spine.

As Alpha Ace slowly and carefully lowers me back onto the bed , he pulls the covers up to make sure the hospital gown isn't showing anything that shouldn't be shown. Before I could thank him an elderly man in a white coat had opened the door and behind him were three male nurses , each holding separate clipboards . Feeling uncomfortable in a room with only male wolves I find myself pulling the thin blanket closer to my chest. "My apologies Alpha , I was just about to start my rounds when I thought it would be best to start with our most important patient."

"Thank you doc I really appreciate it. She did get out of the bed but her legs gave up after I would say about 10 minutes. She has not had anything to drink as yet but her hands are frozen. I also have not given her anything to eat as yet but if it's okay with you then I want to get something to eat and drink." Well clearly that did not only take me by surprise but everyone in the room... clearing his throat the doctor then looked at me. "Well if you are up for it then I wouldn't mind you eating or having any liquids in fact I would actually recommend it. How are you feeling Luna?"

L-L-Luna ... I was rejected though and I find it highly unlikely that Kaine would have retracted his words. Summoning all the courage that I could possibly have left "I am no Luna Doctor I was rejected. I am not a foodie actually but may someone please direct me to a place where I am able to get some water."....... Once I was finished I noticed that the doctor have moved his attention to Ace. "You know just because people think your Mr big bad scary Alpha does not mean you should prove it to them. Luna is absolutely stunning so how could you reject her. Many others would have given up by now but here she fought hard and look at her , awake and speaking. Wow Alpha Ace I thought I taught you better than this."....."No wait ... I- before you go and jump to conclusions , we are not speaking about me. She was initially meant to be mated with that sorry excuse of an Alpha Kaine of the falls pack. That is in fact where we had initially found her beaten and bruised.""Are you trying to tell me that she had a trial mate before you." "I do not even want to think about it but that is what it seems like. Cassie from the falls pack said something to me before I snapped her neck. She said that Nikita has not shifted into her wolf yet but I am assuming that is why Storm cannot sense her wolf as yet." This makes sense as to why she was healing poorly from the minute you brought her from the Falls Pack. From her displaced ribs and poorly healed bones. Wolves who have already shifted usually heal much quicker but also heal properly ."

He snapped Cassie's neck? Trial mate ? They know I have not shifted ? Mate ? Why is nothing adding up right now.

I tried my best to stay silent but I could no longer suppress the cough bubbling from my chest. In a blink of an eye Ace was next to me handing me a ice cold sealed bottle of water opening it before placing it in my hand." Slowly do not drink to quickly. We do not want you choking." "Yes Alpha Ace , thank you" "Please it is just Ace to you pretty." Yup so much for not choking there I go coughing again."S-s-sorry Alpha I cannot call you Ace. It is not okay and it is disrespectful." Interrupting whatever Ace was about to say Jackson pipes in , "Ace we have not told her yet." I could not stop myself. "Me?" I questioned.

Ace gracefully pulls a chair closer to the bed , he takes the bottle from my hand putting back on the lid. Once done he takes my hand carefully into his own as he fear that I might break. Ace looks at me gently but in my peripheral view I see Jackson chasing the doctor as well as the nurses out of the room. Ace squeezes my hand which brings my attention back to him. I stay as stiff as a plank as I am unaware of the words that may come out of his mouth.

"Yes you pretty. While still at your previous pack a lot of things had come to light. One your abuse, two which pack they had thought you had come from and three your relation to Kaine"... I had nothing to say... Everyone's secrets eventually come to light. I continued to sit there without saying a word and I knew he knew it gave him the go ahead to continue." Yes I snapped Cassie's neck but in all honesty the way she was talking about you was pissing me off. She did not feel it as I made it snappy but I wish I could have made it last longer. Kaine is however still alive and awaiting trial at the Justice court. What Kaine was to you was a trial mate which in other words is someone who you could have potentially been paired with but it did not work out." he paused taking in a deep breath. " I know you have not shifted yet but there two things I think you should know about. One is the fact that I know I am your actual mate and two is that Jackson did a DNA test and we are awaiting the results.

No words...... I just started ..... Laughing

For sure he must be thinking I am an absolute lunatic. He just told me huge news but here I am laughing like a lunatic who has officially lost their mind.

"You... Alpha Ace ... My mate and Beta Jackson my brother...." I just continued laughing. " That would make me the daughter from the blue moon pack." I whispered feeling myself calm down.

"Yes it would. The results should be out any minute now so we will all find out together. Are you okay? That is my concern... are you okay? Your wolf hasn't surfaced yet so I cannot tell what your feeling." Ace questioned.

"I don't know. I am overwhelmed with the news and it is a lot to digest." He pulls my hand to his lips carefully placing a kiss. Our moment is interrupted when Jackson comes rushing in.

"The results are in , they are in...... Its a 99.9% match...... I'm your brother."

OH MY DEAR GOOD GRIEF......
