Chapter 196: Chapter 197

Book Two Chapter Forty–Six Luna Ryley I was sitting by the window nursing Oakley while Blake went to speak to the alpha. Luca was close by but I needed time to process everything I had been through. I had never been that scared before. The thought of that monster hurting my baby. I choked back a sob as tears rained down my cheeks. I held him a little tighter as I watched him.

“Luna?”

“I’m okay,” I cried, quickly wiping away my tears.

Luca pulled up a chair and sat down beside me. He gave me a pointed look, knowing full well I wasn’t okay. And I wasn’t, but I had to be strong.

“I was scared too,” Lily whimpered.

“He touched me,” I whispered. “And I can’t tell Blake. I don’t want to hurt him.” Luca reached over and gripped my forearm.

“He would never blame you for that monster’s actions. You were trying to keep you and your baby safe.” I nodded as I sniffled..

“I was so scared, Luca. I’ve never felt fear like that before.” I confessed..

“We were all scared. Blake stormed into the council and ripped it a part to find you. He was never going to let you go without a fight, Luna. The pack would have fought to the death to get you back safely. You and this 0.00%

“Is everything okay?” Blake asked as he entered the room, interrupting my over sharing “I’m glad you are safe,” Luca gave my arm a squeeze before rising from his sit. “I’ll go get the warriors ready to leave.” He told Blake before he left.

Blake took Luca’s seat beside me and I quickly wiped away more tears that had fallen.

“Baby,” he cupped my cheek, wiping tears away with his thumb.

“I’m okay,” I mumbled, but he too gave me a look that said he didn’t believe me. “How did Sarah take the news?” I asked instead.

“I think she is still in shock, but it was the right call, my Luna. Now, can you tell me why you are crying?”

Oakley was finished nursing and I put my breast away before lefting him to my chest to burp him. He was almost three weeks early but he was still a big boy. He’s the size of his sister when she was born at full term.

“I was scared, Blake, paralyzing fear. I was so terrified for our child,” my dam broke and I broke down into sobs.

“Baby, I.”

He threatened you and our child. It’s my fault and I wouldn’t have been able to live with myself if anything happened to either of you.” His eyes became misty causing my heart to ache for my mate. This wasn’t something that only I went through. He wasn’t dealing with the monster but he was battling demons.

“I’m sorry, babe, I shouldn’t have brought this up right now. Can we go home?” I pleaded.

“Of course, baby,” he leaned over and kissed my forehead before standing. I grabbed his hand before he could move away.

“I love you, so much. Thank you for coming to my rescue.” I smiled up at him.

“Always. I love you,” he leaned down and brushed his lips against mine. “I’m going to get everything ready, do you need anything? Any help with our little man?” He rubbed his son’s back.

“I’ll be okay. The alpha had someone bring up so much baby stuff. I’m going to bath him and get him ready to leave. We even have a carseat for him.”

“Good. Link me if you need me. I shouldn’t be long and there are warriors outside the door.” He kissed my forehead again before leaving the room.

“I can’t wait for you to meet your sister and brother, Channing. They are both going to love you as much as I do,” I stood up and looked down at 42.19%

I don’t think this boy got anything from me. “You are just the cutest,” I cooed as I laid him on the bed to get him undressed for a bath. This should get him sleepy and then after another feeding, he should sleep well.

When I was in the middle of getting him dressed in a little blue sleeper there was a knock on the door.

“Luna, there is a Sarah here to see you,” a warrior cracked opened the door to annouce.

“Let her in,” I told him. I quickly zipped the sleeper and picked up my boy.

“I’m not distrubing you, am I, Luna?” Sarah stepped into the room and the warrior closed the door behind her but leaving it ajar.

“Not at all. Have a seat,” I motioned to the chairs by the window. Oakley was already sleeping so I sat down with him with his head on my shoulder.

“He is such a beautiful boy,” she smiled as she took the seat beside me.

“Thank you. I’m glad you’re here. I wanted to thank you for everything you have done for us.

“I wanted to thank you for the pack. I don’t deserve it and I’m not even a Luna wolf. I can’t run a pack,” she ranted.

“But you can. I saw the way the alpha her looks at you. You may not have a Luna wolf but you are every bit his Luna.” I told her.

a “Can I call you?” She stammered. “You know, if I have questions about being a Luna?”

“You can call me anytime. We never would have given you something that I know you couldn’t handle. You are such a wonderful person and I hope we can be friends.”
