Chapter 20

Sealed With Blood

Later that night Adrian just walks in the door without knocking. I'm sitting in a big reclining chair in the living room. Let's get this over with. He says all rude and ignorantly.

Fine. Let's get this over with. Doris, get me a silver knife out of the drawer. I turn to face him. Where do you want to do this? Here or in the kitchen?

Stay where you're at. I'll come to you. He acts like this is the biggest inconvenience in the world.

Doris hands me the knife. I put a small slit across the palm of my hand. He grabs the knife and does the same thing. We put our hands together, to mingle the blood for the bond.

I begin to ask questions. Do you, on your blood oath, swear if something should happen to me, my female children will be brought to my parents to live with them forever with no harm. You will not harm them, or anyone involved in bring them to my parents.

He has a look of disgust as he repeats the promise. I will on my blood oath send your female children to your mother's and father's castle. There will be no harm brought to the children or your parents for taking them in or to anyone bringing them there. As the last words are spoken a glow comes from our joined hands and the bond is made. Fine. We are done here. With that said, Adrian turns and starts walking to the door.

Adrian, I would like you to look at something. The two omegas help me out of my chair.

I dont have time so get it over with. He looks so disgusted.

I just smile knowing I am the cause of his annoyance. I wanted to show you the nursery and what I wanted to do. They are your pups. You should care about where they are going and how they are going to be cared for.

I DO NOT CARE. You are getting on my last nerve. I told you to do what you want and leave me out of it.

Did you ever want these pups? I snapped out in anger.

You want the honest to Goddess truth? No, I didn't want a mate. I didn't want a bunch of pups. I was happy being where I was and doing what I wanted.

Then why did you put me through all this? Then you said you wanted more pups.

This is all because of a damn curse a witch put on me. All because I made her have sex with me.

What is the curse about?

For me to remain Alpha I had to mate and have pups by the time I am 26. Now I got stuck with you, you have ruined my life.

Then why did you make an agreement I would have more? That makes no sense.

It does if I want to see you suffering and looking like this and I know how bad labor is.

You are a cruel man. I am sorry I ever had the misfortune of meeting you.

Bitch. You better start learning the meaning of the word respect and giving your mate and Alpha some. Suddenly he back hands me into the wall. That is a sample of what you will get the next time you talk to me like that. He walks out down the hallway cursing and slamming the front door behind him.

I began to cry. I can't deal with this anymore. Moon goddess, why? Why would you send him to me? He cant be my mate, even Mariah cant feel the bond. Also, because I can't stand him.

Jamie sees me on the floor. Luna are you alright? What did he do to you this time?

I am fine Jamie just help me to my chair. He picks me up and carries me to the chair.

He sees the bruise on my face, then mind links Walter who is outside on guard duty. We need you in here.

Walter walks in to see me with a swollen black and blue face. What happened in here Jamie?

Our wonderful Alpha hit her, then yelled at her that he didnt want her or the pups.

Thats the last straw! I dont care what he says, he is not to be alone with her. Alice, get her some ice and a wet rag.

He told me he doesnt want the pups, he doesnt even really want me. I am half in tears. He is doing all this because of a curse.

I dont know whats wrong with our Alpha. Alice comes over with the ice holding it to my face. I wince at the pain. I am sorry Luna.

Jamie, we have to get Ray to her room.

No, Walter, I can get to bed by myself. Thank you, Jamie. Goodnight. I cant sleep, I am so frustrated and angry, I feel lost. Mariah, I cant sleep. My face hurts, and I feel so bad.

Ray, I cant tell you how I know, I just do. But I promise you things will get better. When you least expect it wait and see.

I believe you, I just hope it is soon. Ray tucks herself back in her blanket and finally falls asleep.

In the morning Doris comes to get me for breakfast, Ray, Oh my Goddess! What did he do to your face?

Itll heal, Im a werewolf remember. I am healing a little slow being pregnant, but it will be better by the end of the day.

Good morning, Luna. says Alice. I am making you tea. What would you like to eat? She looks up at me. That son of a biscuit. He is lucky I dont curse but he is one.

I smile at her cuteness. Just toast this morning, please.

You should eat more than that, Ray.

My face hurts too much for that and Im too tired.

I could make you a smoothy, you dont chew them, and it is cold. I might make your face feel better.

Seeing the hopeful look in Alices face, I couldnt say no. I will try it. Girls come join me please. I would love company. I dont like eating alone. Both of them run into the kitchen to get a cup of tea and join me at the table.

Could I have some coffee with you? Tim says with a bright smile.

The more the merrier. Sore face and all I smile at my little family.
