But I restrain myself and manage a smirk at their words. I glance over to William and Ronald who look like they’ve seen a ghost. I see a tear slide down William’s cheek but he quickly turns around and leaves the room. Ronald shakes his head at me and leaves as well.
I’ve got to tell them.
“Leo , even if you get her out of here, she’ll never have a life.” Ronald states.
“He’s right Leo.” William says quietly.
I pound my fist into the table and growl in frustration.
“I’m not going to lose her again!”
Ronald takes a step towards me, “it’s not your choice Leo. It’s Mira’s.” He says calmly
.
I sink into the chair in and hold my head with my hands. They’re right, but I know what she will choose. My eyes burn when tears threaten to spill over. I try to stop them but a traitor tear slides down my cheek.
I suddenly stand up causing the chair to fall over. I hear a Commotion near the prison. William and Ronald already heard it and are running out the door. I bolt to the prison just in time to see them pull Mira’s unmoving body out. Though I know she isn’t dead, I still feel pain in my chest when I see her like this
.
“She’s dead… We don’t know what happened, she was fine then she just collapsed and her heart stopped.” A guard. says.
I act angry and grab him by the neck.
“She died on your watch! She died before we could punish her! Now you will be punished!” I throw him to the ground then walk over to Mira’s ‘dead’ body.
I casually pick it up and stride to Ronald. I give her to him and try to act as annoyed as possible.
“Take her to the edge of the territory and toss her. We have no use for her anymore.” I grumble.
‘Take her to the cabin.’ I mind link Ronald.
I said no one knew about it but that wasn’t totally true. Ronald and William know about it. They helped me build it. Yes I know how to build…
I go back to the pack house and hang there for about 6 hours until I couldn’t take it anymore. I jump up and walk past jerry
.
“I’m going for a run, my wolf is restless. I might not be back for a few days.” I state casually.
Jerry nods and I leave the house. I run into the forest and shift quickly. I run for about 35 minutes until I see the cabin lights in the distance. I howl, letting them know I’m here. I get closer and find more clothes outside of the door. Thank goodness…
Mira’s POV
I wake up with a massive headache. Feels like a hangover times ten.. I look around in the dark room. I realize I’m in an unfamiliar bed. Where am I? Oh, right… Leo secret cabin. I begin to get up but I suddenly feel a sharp pain in my stomach. oh crap. I whimper in pain and I start to panic then a door(I didn’t know was there) flies open. Through blurry eyes I see Ronald . He rushes to me and grabs my shoulders.
“What’s wrong? Are you alright?” He says frantically.
Tears are running down my cheeks and I shake me head. Another wave of pain hits me and it makes me double over. Something’s wrong!
“Ahh!”
“What is it? What’s wrong? Tell me what to do!” He looks even more scared than I am right now.
“It hurts! My stomac-ahh! Something is wrong!” I cry out.
Just then, I hear the door open. An intoxicating scent hits my nose and some of the pain goes away.
But not most of it.
“Leo! Get in here! Hurry!” Ronald yells.
I hear heavy footsteps running to my room. Leo burst into the room and runs to me. He grabs my face and looks at me.
“Whats wrong?!” He asks, sounding just as scared as Ronald.
I tremendous amount of pain hits me once more and I let out a blood curdling scream.
“Something’s wrong-ahhh! With the baby!” I get out.
Leo holds me while I’m doubled over. If he wasn’t holding me, I would be on the floor. What would I do without him? I scream in pain and dig my nails into Leo’s arm.
His head snaps to Ronald, “call Dickson Now!” He yells.
Who’s Dickson?
“Ahh! Leo, please help me!” I beg.
I know he can’t do anything but I can’t help but try to find help somewhere. He kisses the top of my head and picks me up. He rocks me back and forth, trying to comfort me.
“Help will be here soon, Sweetie.” He whispers in my ear.
Another wave of pain smacks me and I scream into Leo shirt. I then feel something wet between my legs. Oh no… I look down to see my now very red stained pants dripping with blood. My breathing becomes erratic as I stare at my bloody pants.
“Leo! I’m bleeding!” I cry.
He looks down and his eyes widen. I can hear his heart beat quicken. His grip tightens even more on my shoulders and I squirm when it begins to get painful. He notices and loosen his deadly grip. I yell out in pain and my claws start to come out. No… no… I can’t shift! Not while I’m pregnant! Leo feels my claws digging into him and starts to panic; he knows I can’t shift while pregnant because it could kill me and the baby.
“Ronald!! Where is Dickson?! She needs him now!” He yells in his alpha tone.
I manage to calm my wolf down enough for my claws to go back under my fingernails. I sigh in relief but the relief is soon replaced with tremendous pain. I muffle my agonizing screams with Leo’s shirt.
He holds me tighter as I dig my fingernails into his arm, drawing blood.
He doesn’t even wince as they did even deeper.
