It has been a few days since Kingston showed up here, learning a piece of our past. Every day he does small talk. I can tell he is trying, and I have not been a complete bitch anymore to him. It has been a daily thing that he comes and makes us lunch. Right now, he is making homemade pizzas for us and Lucy is joining us today. "So, I have a question Alpha Kingston sir." I rolled my eyes at my sister such a dramatic. "Just Kingston and what would that be?" she had a half smile, "What is going on with the Beta and Darla? I can feel she is sad and I can't tell something is there." His smile faltered. "I really do not think it is my place."

Something must be really wrong; I can feel the pain of whatever it is rolling off of him. "Kingston, if there is a chance we can help her wouldn't you want that? See her smile for real not that fake smile she does." I responded. He huffed. "Fine but if this comes back to bite me my little mate I will bite back just as hard." He then winked at me and my sister chuckled at his sexual reference.

"Darla and Bryson were inseparable. In any room, they were in they lit up. If you did not have a mate they made you jealous and wish you had one. Then Darla found out she was pregnant. They both were ecstatic. We all were. We knew Darla and Bryson would be excellent parents and it was what she always wanted. Bryson was very protective and Darla was very careful. Darla miscarried at twelve weeks and the doctor told them there was nothing either of them could do. The miscarriage caused other problems and the doctor ran multiple tests. They told them she may never conceive a child."

I did not realize the tear that was shed until I felt it fall on my hand. "Ever since then, she began pushing Bryson away." I noticed he began to get uncomfortable. Taking a deep breath, he continued. "She refused to have any form of intimacy with Bryson because it was a reminder. A reminder of her of never being a mother. She went into a deep depression for months. Hardly showering, eating, not sleeping, and it was bad. I just miss my old sister."

I heard the heartbreak in his voice and involuntarily I stretched my hand to grasp his to give a bit of comfort. The sparks lingered on our skin, and I saw a warm smile on his face as he gripped back. Like a silent thank you and it was sweet. 'Anastasia.' 'I know Lucy, I know where you are going with.' I saw her eyebrow perch up looking at me. 'Come on Stas, we can trust her. We can help her.' I nodded lightly to her and then blocked our link. "You two with your secret conversations." He laughed. "Oh, I could tell you some juicy conversations Kingston." My head snapped to Lucy with my eyes wide. She then winked at me. "Oh, I would like to endure those thoughts." His husky voice snapped me back to reality and heat rushed into my cheeks. My wolf is practically swooning. Horny wolf. "Well, I got to get going before tonight. I have a few Alpha meetings." He walked right up to me and planted a kiss on my cheek. "See you tonight sunshine." Then walked out.

"Lucy, how can you be sure we can trust her not to say a word?" She just gave me an annoyed look. "She is almost here Stas we can, and we will help her." I nodded. I wanted to help her, but I did not want the world knowing what I could do. "Hey Anastasia, Lucy. How are Layla and Calvin?" "Oh, still going through the heat. This should be her last day." "Have a seat and I will grab us a couple of beers."

Darla was very on edge for us calling her here. "I am not in trouble, am I?" Lucy laughed. "No Darla, we have something we want to talk to you about." Darla nodded. "So, we may have pried some information out of Kingston about you." Her head snapped up. "Are you kidding me. That is personal and he should not have told a soul." She was pissed. So, I interrupted. "Darla, I am sorry we crossed a boundary, but we think we can help." "How can you possibly help? I will never have a child. I am a waste of a woman. Bryson cannot even look at me without the reminder. He would rather flirt with unmated women."

'Lucy, you want to try.' "Darla, breathe. Just listen. "I know about your depression and I cannot even begin to imagine how you feel or felt in that moment. Bryson is only flirting with them to get a reaction from you and your wolf to show you still love him. We can help you with the fertility issue. Well, Stas can. I can help you with confidence." She just eyed Lucy as if she was rambling a different language.

"Lucy, I will take it from here. Go grab my bathrobe." As Lucy ran to my bathroom I stood in front of Darla. I let my wolf come forward and began shifting. Once done I looked at Darla whose jaw was basically on the floor. "Oh Goddess. You are magnificent. Your eyes, your fur. I have never seen a wolf like you before." she gasped out. Once Lucy was there, I quickly shifted back throwing on my bathrobe.

"Wow, just wow." I smiled warmly at her. "Yes, we have never seen one like me either. You cannot tell a soul about this Darla." She nodded. "I understand shifters can be judgmental. Thank you for trusting me. I still am not understanding how you can help me." Lucy looked at me, waving me to continue. "Do you trust me, Darla?" she was a bit hesitant but answered, "Yes, I do." "I need you to lay back on the couch and relax." "You are not going to kill me or anything right." I laughed but shook my head no.

"You are going to feel some tingles, but I need you to remain calm." She nodded as I lifted her shirt to the top of her stomach. I laid my hands on her stomach and began to focus. As my energy flowed through her, I started hitting the blockages through her uterus. I pushed more energy in to help remove the blockages and heal any issues within her. Once done I pushed her shirt back down. She eyed me curiously. "All fixed." "How?" Lucy is the one answered, "Do not try to figure it out. You will end up with a weeklong migraine as we did." She just threw herself on us hugging us. "Thank you so much." "Let's go talk to the Alpha." Darla had a big smile on her face at Lucy's words.

She drove us to the packhouse where Kingston was. "Come on, he is in the office." She walked us to the door and knocked. "Come in." I heard his deep voice shout from inside and I do not know why but my heart skipped. Darla opened the door and ushered me in. When the door closed I realized that they stayed outside leaving me alone with my mate.

"Well, hello." I turned and slowly peered at him at his desk. He was wearing a white dress shirt and had on a pair of black glasses on his nose. "What do I owe the honor?" I felt speechless in the moment. 'I am going to beat your ass.' 'Have fun, we will be outside waiting.' Lucy then blocked our link. "Well umm, Kingston I came to ask a few questions and favors regarding Darla." "Have a seat." I followed his hand sitting across from him.

"We talked to Darla and are helping her with her confidence and things." He stared intently as I babbled on. "Do you have a house or something they could go to for a few days?" He took his glasses off and laid them on the papers in front of him. "Yes. All the high-ranking wolves that live here have a cabin they can go to for their heat and such. Darla knew that." I rolled my eyes realizing they plotted against me. "Okay, is there anyway you can give your Beta a few days off?" "What are you up to little mate?" I just stared waiting for an answer. "Yes, I can. Anything for my sister." I smiled. "Okay, Darla is going to take us to the cabin and she will mind link you when to send Beta." "What do I get for this favor?" I coughed in shock and not realizing he was going to take some sort of advantage from this. "I will do this on one condition." He spoke as he stood up and walked until he was standing in front of the desk near me. "You spend one week here at the packhouse with me." I thought about Darla then about the troubles I could get into being here a week.

My mind was running, "Fine, only if my sister and two friends are with me." He smiled and then bent down to my ear. I felt his hot breath fanning my skin sending shivers throughout my body. "I am looking forward to this, sunshine." I jumped up and scurried out of there and headed to Darla and Lucy. "You both are traitors and now take us to your special cabin."
