Hector POV

Unfortunately, she lost too much blood, the baby didn't survive."

What?

"Alpha, I..."

"You don't understand, she can't have lost the baby... this will destroy her."

"We tried our best but there was nothing we could do. Can I get in touch with anyone, is there anyone she needs to tell?"

shake my head, stunned by the dreadful news.

"No, I'll handle it." I can hear my own voice is monotone, I can't believe this is happened.

"I'll give you a moment alone with her." He gestures his head to the nurse siting in the corner to leave with him, giving me some privacy with Kaia. She looks so peaceful on the bed, as soon as she wakes up her inner peace that she was starting to find again will be destroyed.

How can I tell her?

How can such

harrowing news be told.

I hear my wolf

in my head, wanting to take the impending heartache away from her.

If we could bear it for her then we would. I'd willingly take the pain way from her in a heartbeat.

But she is strong, she will get through this and I will help her along the way.

"Alpha?" I can feel someone rocking my shoulder, my body aching as I start to come to.

"Hmm?" I sit up right, rubbing the back of my neck. I must have fallen asleep, my head leaning forward, resting on Kaia's bed. My hand still holding hers.

"Alpha, why don't you let me sit with Kaia. You've not had a break. Why don't you go home and sleep." Aubrey's voice speaks out to me in the dark hospital room. "What time is it?"

"It is midnight. You need food and some rest."

"I can't leave her..."

"Till

stay and as soon as she shows signs of waking up, I'll mind-link you." Aubrey offers.

I don't want to leave Kaia, but Aubrey was right. I need to rest and refresh myself for when she wakes up. I need to be a strong pillar for her to rest on.

A solemn and slow walk back to the alpha house for me, once I step inside I find myself tired but not at

all hungry.

The hallway has clearly been cleaned thoroughly with bleach, the strong smell still lingering in the air.

Aubrey has left a plate of food on the kitchen worktop for me, but I can't manage to stomach anything right now.

Only whiskey would help me in a time like this.

I head into my office, turning the light on but reduce the strength into a midnight soft glow. I pour myself glass of whiskey from my

side

a

table, necking it back immediately as I start pouring another.

My eyes turning blurry from the t the tiredness starting to kick in.

A few glasses should do it and I should be asleep in no time.

I can't help but walk over to Kaia's d desk, my hand stretching out to pick up the photograph and note.

My mind journeys back to when the photograph had been taken.

Thad

visited the Amber Desert pack, against my better j judgement.

Medea was as welcoming as ever, she ruled the pack like an iron luna, causing issues with other packs through her unfriendly and aggressive communicative tones. Phantom pack didn't fully exist then, it was just a thought in my mind...something that was owed to me, something I needed to achieve for myself.

to be a successful business owner, that was my plan. To make my name in the human business world, connecting behind the scenes the human and werewolf communities. I had lost the dream of being an Alpha a long time ago. Even though my body was built for it.

The dream was taken away from me...

I couldn't believe my wolf when I saw Alora again, the first time in many years...she had been a child the last time I saw her.

couldn't ignore the gravitational pull of the bond, her scent was so potent I could pinpoint her exact location in the alpha house just by the smell alone....sweet mango.

I followed the scent, pushing past Medea and her pathetic attempts to play nice with me, as she had been ordered to do so.

But she and I would never see eye to eye. Too much has passed between us.

I didn't need to follow the scent, I knew exactly where she would be. In Than's room, where else would she be. When our eyes locked it was like being lost and then coming home.

Yes!

I have never stopped planning, stopped working to help free Alora. But I couldn't deny that somehow, Kaia has also found a place in my heart. Her own scent not as strong, but her own scent of coconut and lime, just as memorable. Slowly imprinting itself into me. I put the whiskey down, was the alcohol making me confused? Was I actually in love with Kaia...

I look at Than's rushed handwriting on his note to Kaia The nerve to think she would return to him.

I throw the glass of whiskey across the room hitting the fireplace.

Glass shattering everywhere into the remaining dim embers of a fire Aubrey must have lit thinking I would have returned earlier this evening.

He has done this, he has caused her to lose the baby. His selfish plan in trying to force her from me has ended in the miscarriage of his own child. Of his pack's own heir.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
