.-.-.-.

My heart was pounding in my ears and my entire body felt stiff and locked up. I remembered the battle, all the rebels that I had managed to kill and the way that there blood seemed to stain all the surfaces it covered.

It was stuck in my mind that I had taken lives. It soothed me to know that I done what I had wanted to do and saved the lives of the wolves that I was born to lead. With the memory of the lives I had saved I was reminded of what I nearly lost.

Reynolds.

My pup.

Shotting up from the soft mattress of the bed I drop my hands over my stomach in a protective manor. Was my pup ok? Allie had told me that I was bleeding a lot. Had I lost my baby before I was given the chance to love it?

I was so caught up in my thoughts that I hadn't noticed the hand that was already covering my stomach. The warmth of his touch radiating through me comforted me a little that I finally had my mate back by my side.

Ryder's breathe fans over the back of my neck as he sits up beside me. Thankfully someone had slipped me into a pair of underwear so I wasn't completely naked but with the exposed skin I felt every single contour of Ryder's warm, toned body as he sat up behind me.

"It's ok, Lottie." Shaking my head I continue to ran my hand over my stomach and tightly grip his hand that's already on my stomach. "Calm down."

"I can't." I was close to tears and Ryder wasn't doing anything to reassure me that our pup was okay.

"Yes you can." He slid his hand across my stomach and takes my other hand into it. "Relax and listen."

Squeezing his hand again I try to calm myself down. My heartbeat was loud it took me a little while to calm it down to a normal level. Once I'm calmed enough I concentrate hard on my hearing. It's a very steady thumping. A fast thumping that sounded like a train travelling over the tracks.

"It's ok." Turning my head I meet his eyes and see that he's almost in tears himself.

Ryder nods his head at me and drops it against mine. "You're still bleeding a little but Riley says it's nothing to worry about."

"What about Reynolds?" Ryder's hand froze over my stomach and I dared to meet his eyes. He was trying not to lose the last bit of calm he had. It looked as if he was about to break.

I don't know how I would handle it if he told me that Reynolds was gone. "He's still in the hospital. He hasn't woken up yet."

Turning my head away from him I take a long shaky breathe. Reynolds could have been sitting just outside the door if I hadn't gone out to fight. Pushing Ryder's hand away and up off the bed I walk towards the bathroom.

The fast movements turned my stomach and I had took a deep breathe to settle it. I heard Ryder growl and his footsteps follow after me.

"Lottie you're supposed to be resting." He growled the words out as he moved up behind me.

Turning around to look at him I can't help the way that my eyes move over his almost naked body in a sexual manor. Shaking my head I turned back to the closet and search for some comfortable clothes.

"I need to see him Ryder. It's my fault he's there." I had fallen to my knees, my hands picking at the little lint balls on the tracksuit pants I pulled out.
