The Only Alpha Luna

A Call

The next morning the woman came in promptly at 6am I growled at her and told her we would be down as soon as possible. She rolled her eyes at me and told me that if I wasn't downstairs by 8 that she would come and find me. Her threat by no means in my eyes an empty one, I got up went to the bathroom and got ready for the day in the same clothes I wore yesterday. By the time I was finished it was 6:10 maybe, just maybe I should wake him up. I mean after all the old woman wouldn't have come in here if there wasn't something required of us today.

I walked over to Tom whose chest was slowly rising and falling with each breath that he took. I didn't want to wake him, he was so peaceful, and when he was awake there was a stress crease almost always along the top of his forehead. Maybe I should tell him to start taking things easier. Then I remembered had to mate soon or we wouldn't be able to have little Tom's running around and that made me choke back a sob, yet it was enough to wake him. He was instantly at my side holding me telling me everything was going to be okay. I wanted more than his innocent touches this morning. How do I tell him? I put my hands on his hips and look up into his eyes biting my bottom lip. His eyes shift from his usual hazel green to his lust filled yellow. Maybe as the Alpha King his wolf could take over partially, I mean what other explanation could there be.

Tom took a deep breath trying to calm himself before he said, "What's bothering you?" Could I just come out and say oh yeah I know that if we don't finish what we started in two days there won't ever be a chance of little you's around. Can I socially do that? "What's wrong?" He asks wiping away the tear that I hadn't realized that I had shed.

"If we don't mate soon, I won't be able to have little babies. Babies created from our love." Tom took a few steps back as though he was stunned into shock that A) I was thinking that far ahead and B) I even knew about this thing that might possibly be a serious bump in our future plans. He shakes his head and starts chuckling. Why is he laughing? I don't want him laughing at the fact that I may never be able to have his child. Unless, maybe he doesn't want children I mean we never did talk about it. I was about to walk away so that I could go find a quiet place outside to sob by myself when he grabbed my arm still with that annoying little smirk on his face. I wanted to slap it right off. How could he think that this was funny?

"Lucy it's just a rumor, one that the council and I started on purpose. We wanted to see who would remain loyal to us even after I become unable to produce an heir. You know weed out all of the unloyal people now instead of later when we really do have children to worry about. I'm sorry that I worried you. You and I can take as long as we want to take that next step in our relationship, and I would actually prefer it if we did it when if felt the time was right. Not when it was expected of us, not when others want it of us, or even because my royal bloodline demanded it of us. If we were unable to have children I would hope that you would be able to love another's child as if it were our own." I looked at him as if he had three heads since of course I could. Why did he think I went to the orphanage as often as I did? My phone on the nightstand rang for the first time in the last 72hrs or so, so it must be serious. When I picked up the phone I heard screaming and my blood began to boil. Oh shit.

"Hello," I say into the phone with urgency waiting for a reply. Waiting for someone to tell me this was prank call, but in case it wasn't I took Tom's hand and began running down the stairs towards the dinning room. The only room I remember in the whole house. Once we were about halfway there Harry was on the other line.

"We are under attack, there are thousands of rouges. I'm doing what I can but I have no idea what the right thing to do is here. Please come...." The line went down while I entered the dinning room to grab a muffin off of the platter. I didn't care that everyone stood for me. I didn't care that everyone stared at me. I had to leave, and I had to leave now. I walked towards the dining room door when I felt Tom's hand on my arm. Preventing me from doing so I growled at him. He growled right back everyone stared at us but I didn't care.

"Let go." I say through clenched teeth trying to keep my calm, trying to put a lid on my temper at least until I got to my own pack lands.

"There was a man on the other end, I know it. Yet, I couldn't hear his words. Are you leaving me?" They were pained and as much as I wanted to spare his feelings as much as I would like to tell him the truth which one would let me leave faster. I decided on the truth since the first one would cause him to become possessive and ownership like.

"My pack is under attack and they need me. So yes, I am leaving to help them. I'm going to get my affairs in order for Harry to become full on Alpha. Then I will return." I say quick and clipped like wanting him to let me go he doesn't though. There are suddenly four guards flanking me. I growl at each and everyone them, they stand stock still and stare at the Alpha King awaiting his instructions. It occurs to me then that there is no way for me to have a higher authority than him.

"I expect you to follow her direction to the T. The only commands that you are not to listen to are ones that prevent you from protecting her since she will put your safety above her own, and I do not wish that. As well as any command that even slightly hints at you coming back here for anything other than me. Although a phone call will have us mobile faster." I was shocked usually males with his rank would be so possessive they wouldn't let their females leave their sight. Yet, Tom was letting me leave his sight with not one, but two unmated males and their buddies. This will be interesting. I walk forwards and give Tom a deep, long, passionate kiss, since it felt as though it would be my last.
