Chapter 13

'The pain you
feel today,
will be the strength
you feel
tomorrow.'

I trail behind Lea, careful not to hurt my back. It's awkward because normal pack members live in this part of the pack house. They all watched.

She stops in front of a door, giving me a key. "Okay, I'm acting like I'm not excited, but I totally am, so don't mind me if I scream."

I quirk an eyebrow but shrug and follow her in. Straight away I see another door. I go to it, slowly opening the handle.

And what do I see? I see Lea's room. Of course. She put me right next to her.

"So this was my big sister's room before she found her mate and left. I can always come over and we can have sleepovers and you can save me from my Mom and I can hide form her in here.... This will be the best!"

"Wait a second... Why do I have to hide you from your Mom?"

Her face pales and she looks around, quickly I copy jumping into the closet.

"Be quite! And because I might have got a little bit excited when someone told me that Dead-pool 2 was coming out. And I might have accidentally waved my arms a bit too much and broke her vase that she got from her grandmother."

I roll my eyes and settle myself carefully on the bed. "Ow!"

She flinches, by my side in a second.

"You should be my mate. He should be the one right by my side as soon as I even wince. It's not fair! I-it's not f-fair."

My cheeks heat up and I know by the salty wetness on my lips that I'm crying. I'm crying over my mate. Because he's such a jerk. Because he couldn't stop his pack from hurting me and on top of it, he doesn't come to help.

This is not going to be a perfect story. This is not going to be mate meets, mate abuses mate and then mate falls in love with mate and has a child.

No. How am I going to fall in love with that man. If I can even call him that.

I run to the toilet, all of yesterday's food coming back up. Lea's hand quickly fiddle and grab all of my hair and I vomit more than 2 times, sitting on the toilet seat after I'm done.

Lea hands me mouthwash and I rinse the disgusting taste out of my mouth.

My chest feels heavy and I freak. "What's going on? Why am I sick? Am I dying? Is it because he's rejecting the mate bond? Lea!"

She shakes me, trying to calm me down and stop the tears but I can't. What if he is rejecting me? What if he's had enough? What if he's going to pick a better Luna and leave me to die?

I feel trapped. Like I can't get out of my own worries. I hear Lea's voice in the distant and the touch of her hands feels like a dream.

"Calm down! It's okay! Calm!"

Her voice gets louder and louder, until I realise she's pulled me into her lap.

"It's okay. You just had a panic attack. It's fine. I can deal with this. I totally know what to do."

Her voice wavers towards the end and she looks at me, ready to cry with me.

"We have to do something about this. Let's go to the pack doctor."

When we get there, Lea knocks three times, waiting patiently for the first time that I've seen her.

Wow. She's never patient. "Come on Doc. Come onnnnmnn..." And there it is. The normal Lea.

A man pulls open the door. My eyebrows furrow. Who is he? I didn't see him at the whipping.

"I'm surprised you didn't come sooner. I thought I would be tending to those wounds. Whoever did this job looks like they are on their way to being a good first aider."

"Aww thanks Doc! You know I try!"

He laughs, his laughter booming around the small place. "Nice clipping of the shirt Lea, very creative. A way to not rip the shirt."

She rolls her eyes and walks in. "Hey Dad! How were the patients today?"

Dad? Dad?! "Wait Dad?"

Then I see it. Same nose, same hair colour. Hah, that makes a lot of sense.

"Why weren't you there?"

He knows what I mean because his face turns into one of disgust and he shakes his head. "I hate those type of things. Not a fan of the Alpha punishing innocents. Stupid to me. And I'll probably see them afterwards when the Alpha send them to get checked up by me."

The Alpha sends them? "But he didn't send me?"

His eyes soften with sympathy and he pats on his seat thing. "Come on up and let's have a look."

I climb on and he assists me, trying not to make my back touch anything. "You know what Q? I'm going to become Pack Doctor like good old Doc Daddy here and I will be the one to tend to your wounds."

I snort unattractively and look at her. "I don't know if I trust you with doing stitches. Not just yet."

Doc laughs again, his laughter making me feel safe, like I have a Fatherly figure after so long.

"Yeah, and we have to wait to see how long it takes for your Mother to find out about the vase."

Lea cringes, looking at her Dad. "Don't tell her! Please! And if she finds out, say it was the Pack wolves! They broke into the room and smashed her vase! Me, being the hero, saved everything else and they fled, terrified! That is the story!"

He dabs something on my back and I wince, gritting my teeth.

"Anyway Dad, we came for something else."

"Really, what?"

"Well, Quinn over here had a panic attack and vomited about 3 times. I don't know if it was stress or something else."

He finishes on the wounds on my back and helps me sit up normally.

"Let's see then."

He does a load of medical things that I don't know and writes a load of stuff down.

"So, there's nothing wrong with anything in you. Have you, you know, done the dirty any time soon?"

Lea's eyes widen and she looks horrified. "Dad!"

I blush, hiding my face slightly and I nod. Lea then looks at me, horrified. "You dirty dirty girl. I'm so disappointed."

"I know, I know! But hear me out! I was on my heat and he kept touching me. Let's just say it was my wolf's fault!"

I feel Raven get annoyed in my brain but let's be truthful, it was her. She still doesn't say anything. I sigh. She hasn't talked to me ever since I got whipped.

"Then I have some... Good, bad? I don't know. I'm just going to say it. You're pregnant."

"I'm what now?"

That's a big turn of events. But, don't worry. I'm not going to make it the everyday werewolf story where she goes all rebellious and he wants her back and it's a happily ever after. Nope.

I'm trying to stay away from that. Just you guys wait. And read. Wait and read. Here's another type of cliffhanger for you guys and some questions:

Do you think Silas will change his mind and start talking to Q?

What do you think about the Baby?

Names?

How do you think Rhea and Isla will react?

What's your favourite TV show?

Ever watched a Dead-pool?

Favourite movie?

Should I do a double update? HELL YEAH!
