Wolf Break (Argon pack Book 9)

Part 12

Luna

my head feels strange and my entire body aches my eyes feel like they are glued shut but slowly they begin to blink open.

"come on your doing so well." a sweet voice says next to me and I squeeze their hand.

Slowly my eyes blink open and I take in the huge smile from Amthe next to the bed.

"there you are," she says her grin getting wider as she kisses my hand. I look confused for a second wondering where I am and then memories come back and my spare hand shoots to my stomach which I am surprised to find is very rounded, my eyes widen but no words want to come out yet.

"congratulations mamma, and thank you," Amthe says holding her own small bump.

"Why are you thanking me?" I croak out.

"you're a true Luna, you made so many miracles happen," Amthe says squeezing my hand more.

"me? No I..." my voice trails off as I think back to every pack I have ever been in, the success rate of matings has always spiked around me but I never thought it was me.

"When I was younger my parents told me they found me in the forest, they couldn't have children of their own so they decided they would raise me, a few months later and they got pregnant. They had 15 pups after that I think that's why they sold me, they couldn't cope with all of us there were too many." I say out loud before realizing until Amthe gasped next to me.

"you were sold?" her mate hanging onto her waist says in surprise.

"at 13 to my Alpha........ I mean Alpha Peterson." I say clarifying.

"the person we saved you from," they say I nod.

"is Luna your real name?" Her mate asks.

"I don't think so, I don't remember my name but that's what the young cubs started calling me it kind of stuck."

"how old are you?" Amthe gasps suddenly.

"I am 26 on my last birthday," I say confused to her questioning.

"13 years with that son of a bitch?" a new voice says from the doorway and my blood chills knowing that voice as Ezra.

My wolf growls a warning at him not to come any closer while flashing in my eyes and he nods understanding loud and clear.

"13 years and not one cub." Amthe gasps.

"how many heats Ezra demands." I feel like punching him but stay with ignoring him.

"how many heats god damn it and don't tell me you don't know! I know damn well you counted every single failed attempt!" he growls from the door, how the hell does he know me so well and yet not at all.

"I didn't start until 18 but he tried many times to make them start before that. I had 88 unsuccessful heats and any that were successful failed shortly after my next heat was due." I say matter of factly holding all my emotions back.

"every missed heat in those 8 years failed?" Amthe sobs and I nod.

"88 times," Ezra says from the doorway.

"until one didn't," I say as something in my stomach decides to start tap dancing to its own music.

Ezra takes a step forward and I snarl at him so he stops moving completely going pale as a sheet.

"can I?" Amthe quietly asks clearly knowing what I am feeling. I don't answer her with words I take the hand she is holding and place it over the flutters of movement. She gasps audibly and slowly moves her mates hand so he can feel too I think she does this slowly so I can stop her if I want to but I don't. I waited so long for this and I'm not going to lose it now because of a stupid wolf that thought he could run from his problems.

"its amazing isn't it J," Amthe says as his palm presses over the place where a huge thump occurs rippling my skin, he too gasps and awes.

"it never gets old," he says with amazement and love staring down at Amthe as though she is the most important thing in the world.

My heart twinges suddenly realizing I have and will never be that important to anyone, my parents cast me away, the people that cared for me sold me, the person who bought me mistreated me and then I ended up here to get hurt all over again by a mate that does not want me.

"are you okay?" Amthe asks placing her hand on my arm. I nod and place my hand over hers with a fake smile

"I have good news, you are free to go back to your own room now." the doctor says with a bright smile, and my heart stutters thinking of the suite I had left but that was not mine that was his.

"Actually, could I please have my cell back?" I enquire.

"surely your own room would be more suitable in your condition." the doctor says confused.

"I do not have a room I have a cell and I would like it back please," I demand as nicely as I can, he pauses for a brief second before nodding.

"she can have the room," Ezra says from the doorway but I shake my head.

"no thank you, has the commander responded with my Transfer request?" I ask the doctor and he pauses a second before clearing his throat.

"it's processing he says you will know in a few days," he says before dismissing himself.

"transfer what transfer?" Ezra demands but I ignore him.

"what transfer damn it I demand to know where you're taking my pup!" he says from the doorway and in less than a second I have closed the gap and lifted him from the floor by his throat, his scent is amazing and tries to draw me in but I remind myself I will never be weak again.

"my pup, not yours you gave up that right, I requested a transfer to the Argon pack the first time I woke up from the sedative, Amthe informs me it is a wonderful place to raise young and it is where she will be moving to soon as well," I say dropping him and moving back to the other side of the room to create some distance.

"your moving?" he says with hurt in his eyes and I don't know who he was asking but Amthe replies.

"what with our four little ones and having triplets as well we need a bigger home than the base can offer and it seems this pregnancy progresses the more time I spend with Luna so we needed to make a choice fast, I didn't know she was coming until the commander suggested a permanent home for her since the base is not designed to house pregnant she-wolves let alone ones so powerful and he is worried about the effect her being exposed to this facility will do In the long run so he is fast-tracking our requests and with any luck, we will move this week and Luna will follow as soon as they have suitable arrangements in place." amthe says almost apologetically.

"in the meantime she stays here as a prisoner," Ezra demands before storming away again. I smile at amthe who looks close to tears and she promises she will stay in contact with me no matter what before leaving because she needs to lie down.
