Ember

4. Loving flames

Remi

4 months. 4 long agonizing months. The hospital bed was removed and I now lay lifeless on the floor. Sweat drips from my dirty misshapen face as the silver tranquilizers start to wear off. Ember is snarling in my mind to weak to break threw but here enough to slowly heal my wounds. Disgusted and shame fill me daily at my weakened state and lack of clothing. I am reduced to wearing a bra and boy shorts only. The tattered hospital blanket under my abdomen is the only comfort for my pups pushing against my skin.

My hair is a gruesome shade of rust and mud from the blood spilt from my body. A favorite activity of the guards. Tranq me and beat me before I pass out, on occasion grope my body. I take great pride in taking a few eyes out of their sockets with my claws, one guards ear and ripping a throat out when they think I am about unconscious. One unfortunate soul Virgil wears my teeth marks, his left eye is replaced with glass and half his face look like it went threw meat tenderizing.
Zaden visits often to beat me into submission, he wants my alpha status that I refuse to pass to his greedy hands. He could kill me for it, the reason why he doesn't is simple. He wants a Luna. His obsessed behavior is sickening. That sad excuse of a man and wolf antagonizes my Beta that is now so weak they have no need to chain him anymore. His faint heartbeats are slowly decreasing. Tears fill my eyes seeing his struggle to breathe.

"Jake?" I choke on my sob and hiccup.

My mind is breaking from sadness, with madness creeping in. I am basically feral in this oversized cage.

" I am still with you my alpha" He wheeze out and coughs. Sprawled out by the bars.
"As I will be to watch the pups grow" I could hear Roman surface long enough to voice his loyalty to my pups.

"And us with you Beta"

I couldn't help but smile and hold my enlarged stomach. Their heart beats irregular due to the toxins and beatings we have survived. The thought of rejecting them was powerful in the early stages of new life growing. Jacob was a big influence on my change of heart. It's not their fault. This life growing inside me was not just that pile of shit Zaden. They hold a piece of my Papa, my father and I.

Today the cramping has been brutal. Not knowing if my babies will be ok with all this pain I have been feeling.

I can feel the effects of the full moon taking over my body. I can feel the surge of pure love and energy only the moon can provide. We don't have to see it to feel it but oh goddess do I wish I could see the blessing in the sky.

Ember stirs agitated
"They are arriving "

I sniff the air deeply and get the same smell of this cell. Dispare and silver tinted blood.

Rush of fluids soak the concrete beneath me followed by a white burning pain in my back and front.
The liquid tinted with blood soaks my undergarments. Agonizing pain takes over every molecule of my body.

Jacob hears me struggling and forces his poor broken body to move towards me. Crawling and dragging his massive size to my corner of the cell.

"Remi take my hand" He soothes my nerves. Rubbing my aching hand and sits up strong despite his condition.

"They can't have my babies Jake" I blubber in hysterics, tears smother my broken face. Contractions wrack my body in waves.

"They can't tell if they are lycans until they are 2. Hon look at me" He is no longer my Beta but my sweet friend as he grabs my face in his Large hands to force eye contact in my crazed state.

"They need you Remi-Rain. Now focus alpha " He is alert and eyes shining so brightly.

A powerful urgency came over me. The pressure in my birthing canal was so great but I had to sit up. Jacob pushed himself to move with speed sitting behind me his shredded legs at my sides.
