Lavender Wolf

Chapter 16

Jaxon POV
~~~
It's been two weeks since the dismemberment of the River Pack. We took over their territory and calmed it as Grey Stone. My cousin and ally Tom, took over as Alpha in the old River Pack territory, they renamed themselves the Snow Creek Pack. During my time trying to track down Lavender and Sage, rest her soul, a war broke out. Luckily, Candy came clean about Sasha and the River Packs backwater dealings. Unfortunately my father and Alpha Apollo were killed during the week long war. The Zion joined forces with the River Pack and they ambushed both Alpha's. This lead to Cedar and I stepping into our Alpha positions and due to both of us having mates, our wolf power is beyond that of our pack members. This helped us to over power the Zion and River Packs. But, when we finally reached the warehouse and saw Lavender in full Luna Wolf form rip apart six grown male wolves and decapitate Sasha. Cedar and I both knew we had had to approach her carefully. She could of easily taken us with one swift pounce. Damn... she is a powerful and terrifying wolf, yet still so unbelievably beautiful.
As of now, the healers said she was starting to wake up from her coma. They said the amount of liquid silver in her blood stream should have killed her. Thankful Lavender is a fighter and she's going to be okay. I walked into the Moon Haven Werewolf Hospital Wing and made my way to Lavender's recovery room.
"Is she awake?" I ask the healer.
"Yes, she is doing well." The healer said.
"Thank you." I replied. I sat down next to her on the bed and grabbed her hand.
"I've missed you." I said.
"Me too". She said quietly.
"Are you ready to come home?" I asked.
"Yes".
"What is it, you seem different?"
"Jax..." tears start rolling down her face, "I was pregnant".
"What?!" I responded surprised, but at the same time I felt incredible sadness.
"They keep giving Sage and I silver liquid and..." She began sobbing quietly.
"The silver killed the baby?" I said in a sadden voice.
"Yes". She said. I leaned towards her and kissed her on the forehead.
"I'm going to take you home today. We can lie in bed as long as you want. I know we never got to properly get a chance to find out about our baby, but I'm sure he or she is safe with Sage". I said kissing her hand. She gave me a smile that reassured her response to me. About thirty minutes later we were on our way home.

Lavender POV

I curled up on Jax's lap, placing my head snuggled up between his shoulder and chest. I fell asleep on the ride home and when I woke up I was in our bedroom, safely snuggled under the covers with Jax's arm around my waist. The touch of his warm body pressed against mine made me feel calm and safe. I tried not to bring my thoughts to the warehouse, the loss of our baby, and Sage's lifeless body, but I could not help it. I wanted my sweet sister back, but at least I destroyed Sasha and the River Pack was no more. All of us lost people important in our life. I was now officially Luna Lavender, I had to be strong and wise, but for now I'm just going to be depressed for a bit.

I've haven't left the room for three weeks except for Sage's burial and the Alpha's. I just wanted to stay either curled up in bed or on the couch in our room which was more like a hotel suite now that we moved into the Alpha's quarters. Jax tried to give our room to his mother, but she and my mother decided to live in my old house. I'm sure it's better for them, from what Jax has said they are helping each other cope.
"I have pack business". Jax said as he kissed my cheek and got up.
"Okay". I responded.
"You don't have do any Luna stuff right now, you've been through a lot. I'll come check on you later, I love you". He said and kissed me again. I knew things were going to be different now that I was basically a she hulk of a wolf. I finally pulled myself out of bed and walked out onto the balcony. Over looking the huge property I remembered the outdoor studio. I remembered Sage and how when she was little would watch me dance and cheer. I know she wouldn't want me to spend the rest of my life cooped up in here feeling depressed. I then grabbed my ballet bag and opened it up to get my dance clothes. There was green box with a purple ribbon tied around it. I opened the box and on top of the tissue pay was a card that read My Big Sis. I proceeded to open the card,
Lav, I'm so thrilled that you found a mate! I know we don't talk as much as we did when we were kids but Cedar and I couldn't be more excited for you. I always thought you were meant for greatness. I had these made especially for you, just think of our Tim together as kids when we used to dance.
I Love you always, little Sage bush! P.S. your mate is insanely hot, good job! Lol!
My eyes began to tear up, she must have slipped this in my bag right before we got kidnapped. I removed the tissue paper and in the box was a pair of sage green satin pointe shoes with a lavender ribbon and lace around the pointe. I couldn't believe how beautiful and thoughtful she was, I began sobbing with a bit of happiness mixed in with my sadness. I set them aside, I wasn't going to use them. I will put them in a glass case above the fireplace so I could always see them. I then change into my black leotard, purple dance shorts and tied half of my hair up with a sage green ribbon. I headed over the outdoor studio and began to dance. I was dancing every single emotion I had out of me.

Jaxon POV

As I'm sitting at the table surrounded by my pack members who are in full conversation about the celebration ceremony. I can't help but to worry about my mate. She hasn't left the room for a weeks. I had a headstone made for our unborn baby, it was one of the most difficult things I had to think about. The thought of knowing that they poisoned my mate with liquid silver knowing full well it would kill the baby. Lost in deep thought I hadn't noticed that Cedar has walked into the pack house meeting room.
"Jax...Jax...Alpha Jaxon!" Said Cedar.
"Hey brother". I said standing up giving him a friendly hug.
"I saw Lavender has finally made it out of her room". He said with a smile of relief.
"Where is she?" I asked a little worried.
"She's safe Jax. I saw her at walking over to the outdoor studio by the lake". I walked over to the window and saw her. She was dancing, my heart felt so much relief knowing that this is a good sign.
"I think she's feeling better". I said.
"Good. We need to kick off a celebration soon. The troops are in need of letting loose and now that our packs have officially blended together it will show camaraderie". He said with a big smile.
"I agree. I'll let Lav know". I said.
"Alright then, see you guys in a couple a days". He said leaving.
I then dismissed everyone to get prepared for the celebration. I made my way back to the room. Lavender wasn't back yet, maybe I should go see her. No, I'll leave her be, she needs to find her way back to me in her own time, at least that what Hazel's advice was. I sat our on the balcony over looking the lake. I watched as busy caretakers and pack members set up a party tint on the grounds. I have a feeling this was going to be quite a party. As I kept watching everyone I felt two arms wrap my waist. I turned around and picked Lavender up by her thighs and wrapped her legs around me and laid us down on the balcony outdoor bed set. She smelled delicious and judging from her damp hair she just showed. I leaned in and kissed her perfectly soft lips.
"I missed that". I said.
"I'm ready to be by your side. I've finally let go of my dark thoughts". She said pulling her body close to mine.
"Good. I need my Luna next to me". I said, an we spent the next few days with Cedar and Hazel arranging our pack business.
