Becoming His (Complete)

A Wall Too Strong

"His trail led us deep into the forest near the edge of our territory. We were worried he might have been heading into rogue territory but thankfully his scent turned back at the edge and instead led us to town." Paul explained. He and Adam had returned to my hospital room to update me on the situation and I was eager to hear good news.

"And?" I asked.

"We lost it after that unfortunately." Adam answered looking disappointed. I felt my spirit fall but tried not to show my disappointment, they were trying their best to find him."But..." Adam added and he looked to Paul who continued on.

"We have a few witnesses who saw the Alpha leaving town. We're still interviewing pack members so it'll be at least a few more hours before we are able to organize a new search plan but we will have one soon I can assure you that." Paul explained. I felt my hopes rise again. He hadn't left the territory, he was still somewhere close. I tried pushing again through our bond but got nothing in return.

"Did they say which direction he went?" I asked feeling eager to help. I may not know the territory like the back of my hand but I knew Cain fairly well.

"The consensus so far seems to be west but others aren't as sure. We'll let you know when we get a better answer." Adam answered and I nodded thinking it through.

"Cain and I went to a beach once together, he could be going there?" I offered and Paul made a note of it on a pad of paper.

"I'll add it to the list of search spots." I nodded in response and they spoke to me a bit more about the packs current state and the amount of wolves organizing to find Cain. It was reassuring to a certain degree but I still felt anxious without my mate, and without knowing if I was carrying his pup or not. I had spoken to Dr. Smith about my situation and he told me I'd likely be able to find out tomorrow if I was pregnant if I'd like to take the test. I was curious enough to consider it but terrified to do it without Cain.

"Alright, let's allow the Luna to rest. Visiting hours will resume in the morning." An elderly nurse stated as she came inside the room showing away the Beta and Third in command as if they weren't some of the most powerful men in the pack. I thanked them for their service and they promised to return tomorrow with an update.

I didn't sleep much at all that night. It was difficult to relax with the constant hum of machines and the many wires poking out of me were starting to get irritating. I really wanted to be back in my room where the scent of Cain still hung strong in the air. I managed to get a few moments of sleep here and there but it was ultimately impossible and my body felt more damaged than before because of it.

I glanced at the clock on the wall to check the time and it was finally 7 a.m. A nurse came in, left me food and asked if there was anything I needed but I could think of nothing so he left. I stared at my tray with a variety of foods on it including oatmeal, a sliced orange, toast, eggs and bacon but I couldn't get myself to eat more than a few spoons of oatmeal. There was a glass of orange juice as well but the more I looked at it the more I longed for coffee instead.

"Coming in!" A voice called and then my door was pushed open suddenly and my eyes caught the familiar grin of Henry. "I come bearing gifts." I smiled.

"What could you have possibly brought for little old me?" I joked feeling lighter with Henry around, he was like catching a glimpse of Cain and it brought me some relief and hope.

"Not much so don't get all mushy on me. A coffee because we all know you'll need it being in here." Henry glared around the room, a set of bad memories churning below the surface of his eyes. He passed me a large to go cup and I held it carefully feeling eternally grateful "And this." He laid a brown paper bag beside me on the bed and I felt instantly drawn to it.
