Chapter Twenty-Two: I've Got You

Ghost's POV:
Whilst we were healing I was searching for Lena. I knew something was wrong when I didn't sense her in the house so when Jax woke up I told him I would find her and let him heal.

When we arrived at the warehouse Bennett and I shifted back, Lena was definitely here I could hear her heart beating.

Blood hit my nose and despite the fact the pack warriors and Ace were behind us I ran in, Lena needs me. I sniffed the air, my stomach was churning as I gazed at my surroundings.

I growl as I knew what Rick had done to her but even then I was not prepared for the sight I saw.

My mate had chains around her semi naked body. Her clothes were shredded. Scars, cuts, bruises, claw and bite marks lay on her whole body. Dry and fresh blood was on her body.

Wolfsbane was also in the air and I knew it was preventing her from healing which only fueled my anger.

But there was something else in a basket at my mate's feet was a baby.

I dismissed the fact the baby was there as I turned to my unconscious mate. A whimper escaped my lips as I walked closer to her.

Without thinking I ripped the chains off her and she fell into my arms.

"Baby? Lena wake up, Lena it's me it's your Ghost. Wake up baby your safe now I've got you."

I whispered placing a kiss on her forehead. She slowly looked up at me with weak eyes. She gave me a small smile before she fell back into my arms unconscious.

"G..Ghost you..your alive?"

She thought we were died I'll kill Rickard, she was alone and she thought we were gone.

"We've here baby, your safe now."

She was weak and losing a lot of blood. I picked her up bridal style and her head rested on my shoulder.

"G..Ghost, p...please don't leave him behind."

She was talking about the baby, I took a deep breath before kneel down and picking up the basket with the baby.

"It's alright baby I've got him, I've got you both now."

She shifted in my arms as if to see whether or not I had picked up the baby but instead she looked at me.

"G..Ghost, I..I think he marked me."

She whimpered with tears in her eyes. She winced and I felt blood on my hands. I dismissed it too for just a second to check her neck.

I lent my head down and calmly licked her neck, the wound began to heal leave no trace of any mark. I released the breath that I was holding and looked at my mate and the baby.

"No baby, your still all mine baby. It's alright now. I'm going to get you some help okay, is Rick still here?"

Lena was fighting to keep her eyes open but had a smile on her face.

"He..he left, he heard howling and left. The baby I think his and Christina's they didn't want him we have to protect him Ghost. We can't leave him."

I just hushed her and rested my head on hers to comfort her.

"It's alright baby I've got you, we won't leave him behind I promise. We'll raise him together okay try not to talk now baby you need to save your strength I'll get you both out."

I carried them both out that horrifying room and out of the warehouse, back to the others.

Bennett's face light up as he saw Lena in my arms. I was starting to feel weak again, the poison hadn't fully left my system but I need to stay awake for Lena.

"Lena?"

Bennett whispered as he gently stroked her cheek but she didn't move. I listen to her heart beat and it was slowly dropping.

"We have to go she's losing too much blood."

With that I started to run I placed the basket with the baby on Lena's lap so my one hand could secure her and the other could hold the baby.

As we reached the house the doctor was already outside along with Elijah and Derek.

I gave Lena to the doctor and held the baby in my arms before falling into Elijah. He and Derek help me to the medical room so I could be with Lena and get checked out.

I craddled the baby in my arms as I sat on a chair close to Lena's side.

Jax was screaming for me to let him have control but he was still too weak so I blocked him out.

"My King?"

I looked up at the doctor, who gave me a reassuring smile as if to say everything was okay.

"Lena is fine, I've stopped the bleeding and giving her something for the pain. She will need plenty of rest and I've given her something to help the healing process."

I took in the information and sighed in relief Lena's okay.

"Doc could you check this little guy over I want to make sure he's okay too. He's... he's our son."

I thought about it and I came to the conclusion that the baby is mine and Lena's now, he was our son no matter what. So naturally I wanted to make sure he was okay.

I waited patiently as the doctor check over the baby and while he checked my son over, I kissed Lena's head and held her hand.

"My King, the prince is fine. He was born premature so his lungs are not full formed and he is quite small however he is perfect fine. Considering Lena was dehydrated and malnourished your baby is fine my guess is Lena was feeding him so he is health."

I sigh again in relief and the doctor handed me my son once more.

"I'll write up a birth certificate for you my King, what are you naming our prince?"

I think the doctor released the baby was not our flesh and blood but he knew better then to question me and I notice he held a great deal of respect for my son.

I stroked the baby's head as I pondered over a name. Jax what do you think we should call him.

"Finally you ask, well I was thinking of Phoenix. Theo for short."

Perfect, Phoenix suits him because we found him in a dark place but he's lightened up three people's lives.

"Phoenix, Prince Theo Young."
