Chapter 88

Annettes POV:

I went to bed at four and woke up because an alarm was blaring.

“What?” I heard a siren. A siren.

“Grayson!” I turned over and he wasn’t there. “Grayson!” I screamed for him.

“It’s alright it’s alright it’s just a fire in the stores it’s alright I’m going to see to it,” he came out of our

bathroom zipping up his pants.

“Are you sure be safe take Charlie and Jamie and and Theo with you don’t go alone, I felt like I was

dreaming waking up to this weird situation. A fire in the stores.

“I will I’ll be fine,” he told me. “I love you,

“I love you,” I knelt up and k*ssed him.

“Alpha,” Elizebeth and Matt entered the room.

“Just in case stay with them,” he told me.

“Okay,” I felt like crying what is going on? No, we’re happy. I wasn’t going to cry we are just fine nothing

is going to go

wrong.

“Do not worry Luna he will be back,” Elizebeth told me with a sharp nod of encouragement.

I wasn’t going to freak out. This is just a fire and he will come back and in a couple of days, our son will

be here.

“AH,” a pain came up my stomach, and then a wet trickled between my legs. “No,”

I got up perhaps I’d just peed I’d be mortified but it would be better than the alternative.

But there it was a little pink and plain as day. I had gone into labor.

Bonus

“I’ll get Grayson,” Matt told me.

09:41

“No,” I breathed. “Don’t get him he’ll be right back,” I had a duty and so did he.

“Take me down to the clinic,” I told them. “Get me, my mom, too,”

Just in case Grayson didn’t make it back in time I needed someone with me.

Elizebeth took my hand and we started heading down the stairs we left my bedroom and as we did Cea

met us.

“Hon?” She came out of her bedroom. “Stay here until the fire is done,” she looked at me. “You’ve gone

into labor haven’t you,”

I modded and another contraction came over me. “Ooooooh.” I squeef hetths hand.

Festen timing.” Cen came and grabbed my other hand. “No worries honey..”

“Come on,” Matt ushered us. We got down the stairs and a scent hit my nose.

“Matt” waned him

“I smell it on,” he whispered.

“Some here,” Elizebeth looked out at the windows.

Η

“Downntnis mow” told them. “There’s a bunker, o000oh”

The girl moved me forward Gen now in front of me Elizebeth still at my side and Matt now behind her

holding up the flank..

“Someone in here: The huby is coming

I called out to my mute. He needed to get back the fire was a distraction I was in danger, I was in labor

“Here,” we got to tie bisement and went up to the photo and moved it revealing the thumbprint reader. I

gilamendi thumb on it and a doompered all of us stumbling inside.

Matt closed the door and started theilting it.

“I want him back the only one who can get in now is Grayson I want him here get me the phone now!” I

called the in from the corner of the room.. Il gripped a shelf as a contraction came.

“Here,” Cea gave me the phone.

I called his cell phone number. It can and sang…and rang….voicemail:

I called my brother, it rang….and ung..and ng…voicemail.

I called Leon, it rang…..and rang….and came welcmail.

“Dammit!” I screeched and breathed out as the tears came. They were taking this too, they were taking

this fro “Come on!” I gnated and picked up the phone qmim

I dialed my husband. “Come on!” I growled it ang and sang…and rang.

“Luna,” Matt came up next to me. “unu, Brian on the cutie.” He handed me the talkie.

“Brian get me Grayson get me my husband I’m in Labord! Get him here ordered him desperate for my

mate.

“Lana, he’s not coming we were overrun they’re in the pad the Alpha is fighting them back but they’ve

blown the front gate. Aarron gave them a way in,”

Ictivered my mouth sobbing for a second. I gathered myself before again I was a wife and a mother and

!

couldn’t act like either right now. “How many are on the main road?” I asked him.”

“A lot.” He told me. I grunted through a contraction.

“Blow the charges,” I told him.

“Yes, Ma’am,” I could hear his smile through the phone.

“Tell Grayson he’s not coming back here until it’s safe for everyone get everyone into the bunker in the

keep.”

“We already have been your parents are working house to house.” He explained to me.

“Where are my brothers?” I asked trying to not cry, trying to remain in control

“They’re fighting with your husband,” He told me. “It’s a bloodbath out here. He was serious and

sorrowful in his

tone.

“Go and fight bring them back to me do not let the Alpha get injured tell him I’m safe,” I was going to be

fine but if my husband…he had to come back or I would not make it through.

The line went dead and I handed the talkie back to Matt but gripped his arm as another contraction

came. “Ah!” 1 whimpered.

“Get that cot open,” Elizabeth instructed Cea who for once didn’t sass back. “Come here Luna,” She

helped me over to

the bed.

“Pillows,” Cea handed them to her and they fussed around me.

I had to keep my thoughts here I had to focus on what I had control over otherwise nothing was going

to get done. I had to deliver my baby if I kept thinking of my husband I was not going to be able to bring

myself to push. Grayson wasn’t alone he had my brothers with him, and Brian. My parents were

helping my people and I had to do this. I had to get my baby out safely.

“OH!” I held my belly.

“Five minutes apart,” Elizabeth timed them.

You must have been sleeping through the early ones,‘ Cea started braiding my hair to get it off my face.

“Here are some towels and lets move this closer to the sink,” Elizabeth and Cea moved the cot over

towards the sink.

“Alright well we know the Alpha knows this is a secret place, Luna is there any other way out of here?”

Matt asked me.

“Back right panel it’s a tunnel out to the forest,” I pointed to it. “It’s covered by a rock,” I explained.

“Alright and since none of us knew about it I’m assuming they don’t.” Matt sighed. “We all should be

alright,”

“There are guns and silver bullets in that pannel, Grayson doesn’t know,” I huffed and gripped

Elizabeth’s hand as another contraction came.

“I’m tired of taking the high road,” I was so angry right now I would have probably slit the throat of

anyone in their pack.

The ground shook above us and it rumbled for a few minutes. “They blew the charges. You got the

ones with the silver- shrapnel right?” I asked Elizebeth who almost smirked.

“Just as you asked,” She nodded,

I found comfort in knowing they probably had lost a good portion of their soldiers in that explosion,

They wouldn’t be able to come in the front gate anymore there were secondary charges set to cave in

the walls surrounding just in case. I had been a little paranoid with defense for the past couple of

months.

I wanted to protect my son, my husband I let a few tears sl*p as I thought of how he wasn’t here how

another moment was taken from us.

“Let me check how far she’s dilated,” Cea told Elizabeth as she finished one of my braids.

Matt turned around as they took off my underwear and knelt down to check me. “I would say only three

centimeters.

“There are gloves over there by the way,” I pointed to a wall locker that was full of first aid materials.

“Alright,” Elizabeth went through and grabbed a box of gloves, a suturing kit, and a clotting powder

packet, my guard was forever the optimist.

I heaved in a breath as another contraction. For what felt like forever I kept the fear of my husband in

danger at bay as Tbreathed in and out when the contractions came. I sat there as my b*dy slowly

pulled itself apart to bring my son into the world and his father fought for his life and our land.

“Hooooo,” I growled and breathed as I clenched my hand around Cea’s

“Breathe,” She told me as I heaved in another deep breath.

“Aggh,” I grunted the pain was immeasurable, but yet at the same time bearable, I knew that at the end

of this, my son would be here.

I kept myself preoccupied with thoughts of my son’s toes, and fingers picturing a head full of Graysons

dark colored 10 hair on a newborn. Elizabeth and Cea found a deck of cards and we decided to play

some card games to keep me distracted.

Eventually I felt the exhaustion start to wrap it’s fingers around me and my eyelids started to feel heavy,
