Ch. 28-Baskets

This is the last chapter of being in heat guys. Lol! This has been a long day.

*************************

Caleb’s POV

    I stroke Thalia’s hair for the thousandth time before kissing her forehead. It’s been Six hours and she hasn’t changed. Thalia’s breathing now thanks to Cleo and Aston’s in the same state. Is my mate alright? I can’t feel any pain from her so that’s somewhat comforting. I would feel better if she moved something though.

  “Caleb I’ll watch her,” Josella says from the doorway. No. I growl, but Josella doesn’t go away. I’m being selfish, I know that, but I don’t want anyone else near her. Thalia is mine to protect forever.

  “Come on Caleb. Zeke needs you. The pack needs you. Thalia would put you through held of you were acting this way while she was conscious. Just go,” Josella says. I know she’s right but I don’t want to leave my mate.

  ‘Do as the girl says. I’ll be with my mate,’ my inner wolf says. Well…I don’t know. Thalia’s hands are to her sides, and I fix the covers around her. Thalia’s hair is loose and lying freely over her pillow. Her lips are poked out slightly and she looks paler than normal. Josella is right though. Thalia would kill me if I was acting this way over her.

  “Call me if anything changes,” I tell Josella reluctantly.

    I kiss Thalia’s surprisingly room temperatures lips and walk out of the room. Werewolves are supposed to be very warm. I should stop thinking about it. I’ll only become more worried about her. Josella won’t let anything happen to her. As I walk into the hall, what I hear and see assns as surprising as I thought it would be.

  “What the hell do you mean you might be pregnant?” Donna demands from Vienna who is balling her eyes out. I’m starting to regret making everyone come to my house.

    I have more medicine here but I don’t have the kind of patience for all these things happening at once. Being Alpha is a lot more demanding than I thought. Donna is constantly yelling and Anthony is just squeezing Donna’s hand. Vienna looks like she’s ready to crumble to the floor from woe. Zeke must be watching Aston or else he would be making some kind of joke about the situation. I spot the kids in the living room and I hear Sage’s voice first.

  “I bet five Oreos that this is all Caleb’s fault,” Sage says.

   “Make it first dibs on cereal, and I’ll bet two powders that it was Aston’s fault,” Annjie says. Wow. So if it’s not my fault, it has to be Ash’s? I don’t like that comparison.

  “Nah. It was Jose’s fault. I bet two bucks that after Jose spoke the two collapsed,” Claire says.

  “Oh shut up Claire. Your bets never work out and you con me out of the money you owe,” Zach says. Kids. What am I going to do with them?

  “Mom! Ash will take care of me! He promised!” Vienna exclaims. I wonder if she told them that she’s married.

  “What did we do wrong Anthony?” Donna asks. Anthony just sighs and I don’t blame him. Donna can be very scary when she’s upset.

  “Daddy are you happy for me?” Vienna asks Anthony. Vienna always has been a daddy’s girl. If Anthony says he’s not happy, it will crush her.

  “Of course I am sweetheart. I’m sure Aston means what he says,” Anthony says before getting slapped in the back of his head.

  “Are you encouraging this?” Donna demands but Vienna looks a little better. Now she’s gone from the suicidal look to the she’s about to puke look.
