22|The next chapter of our lives

Amber's POV

The last thing I remember is calling out to William on the field in Ray's arms as he was going towards Lee. The next thing I know is waking up in the infirmary with a strange sense of deja vu being absolutely confused. He is in the chair next to the bed sleeping I look over to the other side and see two heart monitors, so she wasn't lying. I'm glad to see her heart beat strong and healthy meaning the substance didn't harm her. I reach over with my hand and I touch his thigh as soon as his eyes open he's by my side. His face is buried as I felt pain in my rib that isn't mine.

"What happened to you?" I ask, he studies me as I do the same.

"It's just post-battle injuries but down't worry about it, how are you?" he holds onto my face.

"I'm okay, I think I'm getting used to being close to death" I ty to ease the tension, William sighs and I tell him to get on the bed with me.

"Well I'm not, so please don't make it a habit" he kisses my forehead as I struggle closer to him. He places a hand over my stomach.

"So you ready for the next chapter in our lives?" I ask him he looks at me.

"As long as you're with me, I'm ready for anything" I smile and agree.

The doctors come soon after and they check on me and the baby, they reassure me that as I suspected the drugs didn't affect her. I accidentally let the sex of the baby slip in out conversation with the doctor. William stared in shock and out of nowhere he started jumping out of excitement and yelling he was going to have a baby girl not caring about the people in the room. He kisses me long fully in excitement asking how I knew before the doctors and I told him about the girl in the cells. He then told me that her name is Veronica and that she is Sebastian's mate which I got excited about.

"What happened with the hunters?" I ask as I'm being discharged.

"Well they are either dead, jailed, or ran away, some Alphas helped taking them and we rescued more hybrids from their camp, we also took many as did Sebastian and other Alphas into our packs when Richard and a couple of other Alphas exiled their members" I nod having nothing to comment on I'm glad we are a safe pack for my kind.

Walking out to the lobby I see Sebastian and Victoria sitting when his eyes land on me he stand up and runs to me hugging me.

"Oh god, I'm so glad you're okay!" I smile at him when we separate and see Victoria behind.

"Hi Victoria it's very nice to officially meet you, I'm Amber and I'm so glad Sebastian's found you!" I hug her and she returns the gesture.

"Nice to meet you too and I really am thankful for what you did when we were trapped" I frown at her I didn't do anything. She notices my confusion. "If you hadn't woken up we probably would've been dead right now"

"We both are responsible for being alive" I smile at her and nods we all decide to walk out to the pack house.

"I would really like to know how you knew I was pregnant" Victoria and I are talking ahead of boys and are walking ahead of the boys and they are having their own conversations.

"Well, I had been in the cells for a while so each time a new group came in I could sense the number of lives coming in telling me how many people were captured before they were brought to the cells. When your group arrived the property as I said before I sensed the number of lives in your group but when they brought you all in and put you in the cells I noticed that I had one more life accounted for than the number of bodies. With all of you in a cell, I couldn't concentrate to figure out why I was wrong but when Lee pulled you side I sensed that extra life in you, I sensed her in you" I nodded in amazement, I look down at my stomach and put my hand over it.

"Well I thank you for speaking up" she dismissed my gratitude.

"How long have you known Sebastian?" she asks and I turn to look at her.

"Since we were kids, why, what do you want to know?" I smirk and see her blush.

"No nothing I was just wondering" she looks down in embarrassment.

"He is the most caring person I've ever known he may be stubborn at time but you just need to be patient and the rest you should learn about them yourself" She smiles and nods and we both look behind of us to our mates, William makes eye contact and I smile at him lovingly as he blows a kiss making me chuckle.

"I don't know if you are okay with talking about it and if you're not it's okay but what happened over there I kept feeling your pain," William asks as we're both on the bed in our pajamas, well me in his t-shirt. He's resting against the headboard and I'm resting against his chest his chin on my head as he has his arms wrapped around me.

"Well it wasn't the easiest thing to go throw but I'm okay... we were all in cells there was one for each pack so I was with all of our members. Lee decided to interrogate me even though I didn't and don't know anything about my powers so he kept hurting me to get answers and when he was aiming at my stomach with a silver knife about to stab me that is when Victoria spoke up about me being pregnant and that seemed to motivate hi which is why he sent the location for you to witness our deaths and that got me mad when he explained the plan making me use my powers which scared him and that's why he injected me with a drug I'm guessing to keep me unconscious and after that I can't remember anything until I was calling out for you in Ray's arm but it's kinda foggy" I was playing with his hands through my speech.

"I hate that you had to go through that" he growls, I turn around slightly and rest my hand on his cheek and he calms down. "I love you and I don't want to lose you" he continues holding onto my hand on his cheek and he calms down even more.

"I love you too and don't worry I'm not going anywhere" he chuckles and I go back to resting on his chest.

"Thank the goddess for that!"

We end up falling asleep in each other's arms talking about what our future could be like.
