The Alpha's Ballad

Chapter 20

Henry Cavill as Doctor Caine

Doctor Caine POV

After weeks of looking after Nate while he was with pups. I was happy to see them enter this world and how much love he had for his pups when he looked at them for the first time. I wanted that but I was one of the unlucky ones my mate had dead before we met. The moment they dead I felt myself dying too it was pain no one should go thorough. It took me a few years to get over it and once I did I made my mind up that I would become a Obstetrician so I could help those who had pups before, between, after they give birth. I love it I may not have a mate, but those who do I enjoy telling them the good news, watching they grow and seeing them born it's the best feeling in this world.

When I received the phone call from Nate asking if I would on his behalf pass his message on to my alpha to get him to ring him so he could ask him something, at first I wasn't sure but once I heard his story I was more then happy to do that for him. Then meeting him for the first time was like I had found my son not of my blood and that's how I saw him. Just seeing him glow when he saw his pups gave my lonely life meaning, when he had them my life felt complete.

I saw his pups as my grand-babies and I even asked him if it was ok with him if they called me gramps, when he said yes I felt so lucky. How could someone treat him like they had, his parents not wanting him from the moment he entered this world, then abandoning him at five, him growing up helping his pack without them knowing, them being rejected by his mate and yet through it all his heart remained pure. Not letting the hurt and pain he felt get him down, maybe it was because he was meant for great things that's why through it all he still cared, loved, helped everyone he could that is what makes a Luna. Someone who put other before themselves and helps when ever they can without being asked.

Eight months later

It been nearly a year since Nate joined this pack and its nearly nine months since he had his pups and found out that Xander was his mate, which surprised us all when they told everyone and when Nate said he was mated to two wolves I know he was special because never has a wolf had two mates, not even second chance mates because for those of us who lose their mate are still able to have pups but they will never be as special as those we have with our mates. Having two mates is a gift from the moon goddess herself, some are even lucky enough to have her talk to them I have yet to be giving that honor.

The pups grow each time I see them and they call me gramps when they do, just like they do to Xander's parents. Nate even calls me pa and when they does I feel whole inside. I may not have my mate but I have a family so I am thankful that Dante rejected him because if he didn't them he wouldn't be here now with my pack.

I keep thinking how lucky I am to have him when he walks into my office after knocking first.

"Hey pa can you run some test on me because for the last week I've not been feeling to good."

"Sure, tell me in what way you haven't been feeling well."

"I have pains in my tummy and I've been being sick the last couple of mornings, it's like before when I was with pups so can you please see if I am with pups again."

"Sure I will, does Xander know yet."

"No he doesn't I thought it would be better to find out first before laying my worry on him. I mean he has only been alpha for six months and I don't want to add to his worry if I'm not with pups."
