Apparently, you should never, ever, ever challenge an Alpha in any way, shape, or form.

I wish that I was told that before I let my sometimes idiotic self speak.

"He didn't mean for you to get hurt, Luna." I looked over at LillyAnn as she wrapped my wrist. "He is just an Alpha." That soooo makes things better. I rolled my eyes. "Christopher, Andrew, and Stan are calming him down, don't you worry. He is more than worried enough for the both of you."

I sighed and looked down at my covered lap.

"I didn't know that he would... change like he did," I admitted. "That was so... weird... not human... not normal."

After I had challenged the Alpha, something that I never knew or thought of had happened.

He leaped over the desk, changing into this huge white wolf as he did so. That alone had scared me so much that I fearfully screamed for my life and quickly backed away, tripped over the chair that was behind me, fell on the floor, broke my left arm, badly bruised left my leg, sprained my left ankle and right wrist, and successfully knocked myself out.

Just call me Grace, for I am Graceful.

"He was so worried when you fell, Luna." Even with what had happened, LillyAnn still had a smile on her face. "He nearly killed Doctor Pérez when you didn't wake up yesterday."

I felt a bit bad, for the doctor, not Jess since this was his fault. The older man had to keep that, that... Jess away from me because I had ended up hurting myself. Because he scared me.

All of my new problems are because of him.

"I'm okay now." I mumbled. "Especially now that my son is in here."

It took a lot of demanding for my baby boy to be in here with me. I threatened to walk out of the room, broken, sprained, bruised, and all, if my son wasn't in the same room as I was.

"The Alpha is very worried about you, as he should. It is his fault that you are hurt! I've told that boy that he needs to keep himself calm and control his anger, so many times I've told him that! He never listens to me! Él va a tener que aprender a controlarse a sí mismo o podría resultar herido peor, Luna. (He is going to have to learn to control himself or you might get hurt worse, Luna.)" LillyAnn was speaking so fast, she went began speaking her in her native tongue before she even really realized it. "He needs to learn to calm down easier and not be so easily angered, Luna."

I had a feeling that LillyAnn didn't translate all that she had said, but I wasn't going to question her at the moment.

"I will go and get your lunch, Luna." LillyAnn said after a silent tenish minutes.

"LillyAnn," I stopped the woman, "thank you, for everything."

As always, LillyAnn smiled, her pearly white teeth shining brightly as the light hit them. "It is a pleasure to help my Luna in any way that I can."

She walked out of the hospital room after that.

I heard little gurgling coming from the little bassinet beside my bed and turned to look at my son. I was very thankful that the bassinet that he was laying in was level with my current bed.

"Mommy's boy is up!" I cooed, scooting some so I could let my legs fall off of the bed.

The cast on my leg was uncomfortable, and I was glad that my leg wasn't hoisted up or something like it is in movies when people break their legs.

"I bet you want to cuddle with mommy! And listen to mommy rant?" I used my left arm to carefully pick my son up, using the cast covered right arm for some support, and ignored the pain.

"Mommy is probably pregnant again, that's what Mister Meanie told me the other day." I pulled my legs back on the bed and placed Cole beside me on the bed, propping him up on the pillows. "So, I guess that you are going to be a big brother!"

I tried to sound happy and cheerful for my son, who had no idea what I was talking about, but my voice faltered as I spoke.

"I don't even know that man. Or anyone here. I was just taken and forced to come here and I can't even leave! And it's not because I'm scared of that man or these people! But I am scared why I'm not running for the hills," I said, leaning back on the pillows beside Cole.

Cole giggled and clapped his little hands before grabbing at the TV remote that was in front of him. I placed it on his lap.

"Maybe it's that mate bond thing that Jess was talking about? Or maybe I'm just insane."

Cole played with the remote.

"I can't afford another baby. My body isn't even really one hundred percent ready for another baby. I am not ready for another baby."

I looked up to the ceiling and sighed.

"Jess is so controlling and selfish. He wants to turn us into one of what he is because we 'make his pack weak'. He's acting like all of this isn't his fault! It is! I was just doing my job."

I looked down at Cole, who was now chewing on the remote.

"Should I just leave?" I took the remote away. "Or should I stay? He has been good to you, buying you new clothes and toys and furniture and food..."

Cole gurgled and giggled, smiling widely up at me.

"You like it here? I bet you do. He can give you way more than I ever could."

Cole wiggled around in his spot.

"It might be best for you and I to stay here." I decided. "You will never be hungry here, or be cold, or alone. You'll be clothed and have more things that you need, more than I could ever give you on my own. So, I guess we'll stay."

I leaned down and pressed a kiss to Cole's head.

"Everything I do, I do it for you."
