Two days went by in the blink of an eye and tomorrow was the D-Day of going off to help Darren, the only person aware of this was my best friend, who was against me helping Darren, however, I explained to Greg the reason I was doing this. The threat to my pack is not amusing anymore, I needed every information on how to know this foe who wanted to destroy me.
I tightened the security in the mansion and around the pack, I also set out the eyes and ears of my trusted men in Waterfall with the possibility of any news, right now, protecting my mate and family was my sole aim.
Greg pleaded to come along, but I declined his request of accompanying me, I decided to do this alone. If anything goes wrong, then I will be the only one to take responsibility, Darren sent a message earlier as a reminder about our activity tomorrow.
The Wood Lake pack was a small pack on the northern side of the country, their Alpha was a middle-aged man who never had children, rather the son of his Beta was set to take over the pack once he comes of age, I had passed along their pack during my time of travel and was welcome in their pack. It is a shame I have to join hands to destroy them, my conscience ate me up the entire time.
I constantly checked my phone in case of any messages from Callum or my men, I needed an excuse to not go with Darren on this ridiculous war. However, until dusk came, I saw and heard nothing.
Macy slept the entire day, she complained about feeling sick, and I could not focus on my mate simply because my mind was in a frenzy with everything happening. I strode into the dark room, the only form of light was from the full moon outside that penetrated the window and the curtains.
I moved closer to the bed and found her sleeping soundly, I sat close to her unconscious silhouette on the bed, she looked pale. I moved my hands to her face removing strands of her hair that were scattered and covering part of her face,
” I know I should not do this, but I have to; I think I have become so old that I forgot how many adversaries I made all through the years, however, I decided to protect you, which is what I’ll continue to do, baby, I hope you forgive me when you finally get to know of the vile things I did in my past and now,”
My voice was a whisper as expressed these words to my unconscious mate. Macy stirred, yet she did not wake up, she smiled in her sleep, which made me chuckle at her, maybe she was having a good dream I thought.
” I promise to only bring laughter and joy to this face,” I murmured, my fingers caressing her skin creating sparks.
The moon was full and my wolf was itching for a run, so I left my room and went out of the mansion, through the back entrance I walked further into the woods before taking my clothes off, I initiated the shift, and immediately my wolf takes it form as I now stood on your paws. Rage stretched for a few seconds before we darted into the woods.
The sounds of howling wolves echoed through the forests as Rage ran along, searching for prey to have some fun with. Since it was a full moon, most wolves took the opportunity to go for a run as the full Moon enhances our other side, making us stronger than normal.
A few hours into our run, I heard sounds coming from behind me, we turned around to see a caramel-colored wolf standing behind me. Rage slowly watched his prey before growling at the wolf, the wolf bent its head in submission to my wolf.
Nevertheless, Rage wanted to have some fun, so I tried mind-linking this werewolf since I smelt it as one of my pack members, but its shield was high obstructing the link, Rage growled at the wolf and at that verge it darts in the other direction running fast; however, we chased it down on four paws, the ground vibrating as we ran through the woods.
It was no doubt this wolf was fast we raced along the forest and no matter how quick I was, we just could not catch this wolf, which was odd. We ran for almost an hour until I lost it. Rage growled angrily at the fact that we lost our prey.
Eventually, we returned to the pack house, and it was the early hours of dawn, I shifted back and went straight to my room to take a shower, so I could have a few hours of sleep. But when I arrived, I noticed my mate was not on the mattress as she should be, my heart skipped when I heard the sound of puking coming from the bathroom.
I rushed into the bathroom to see my mate, on the floor with her face bent over on the toilet seat throwing up, I scurried to her as I helped to hold her hair up, she continued hurling until there was nothing left in her stomach. I guess,
She sobbed as I held her in my arms, “Hey you’re okay, you’ll be fine,”
” I think I ate something bad, I have been puking all night,” she explained with tears streaming down her eyes, her temperature was high, and she was pale, carefully I picked her up from the floor stripped her naked, and then took my clothes off.
I filled the bathtub with warm water, I helped her get in before I did. She was so weak I felt her through the bond,
” Do you think, maybe just possibly, she might be carrying our pup?”
Rage says in my head, making me halt in washing her, I did not think of that at all, plus her smell has not changed a bit. ” I’m not certain, Rage, we should not assume things until we are certain. It might be from what she consumed earlier,”
” If you say so then,”
My wolf was somewhat right I had that feeling too, however, what if she isn’t either, I do not want to have my hopes high only to get disappointed at the end. I quickly helped her with a warm bath before assisting her with dressing up.
My mate was so weak she could not form words, I went down to the kitchen and prepared breakfast for her, yet she could not take a bite, I watched her puke the food she managed to eat all over the toilet,
” I cannot take down anything, babe,” her voice a whisper as she tried to explain, it hurt me to see her like this and my wolf howled in my head for its mate.
” What do you want? Anything I’ll go get it for you,”
” Maybe I can get a glass of orange juice, that’s what I am craving,”
I smiled at her request and then mind-linked a servant to bring up a glass of orange juice for my mate, I observed as Macy finished the glass in one go licking her lips, her countenance indicating she wanted more.
” Do you feel better now?” I inquired,
” Hmm, I feel better, thank you,”
I helped her get on the bed, so she could take a rest, I lay on the bed with her, and she wrapped her hand around me seeking more of my fervency. ” I’ll send the doctor over later to check on you, baby, I promise in no time you’ll get healthy,” I assured her as we stayed in each other’s arms.
A few hours later, a beep from my phone woke me up, I checked my phone to see a message from Darren inquiring if I was on my way already, there were a few missed calls from him too. I shrugged as I peeled the hands of my mate off my body, I checked my watch and the time was past two PM, so I quickly went into the bathroom, got dressed, and was ready to leave.
My mate was still asleep, so I gave her a kiss on her head “I’ll come home soon baby, and I can’t wait to figure out if you’re carrying our pup, see you in a few hours,” with those words I walked out but not before giving one more glance to my mate.
Greg stood by the door of my car waiting for me, he had an angry expression on his face as I approached him.
” Do you really want to go alone?”
” How many times do I have to say it, Listen up Greg, I can handle myself, the only thing you should do is stay here and keep an eye on the pack,”
Greg still did not have a look of approval on his face, but that could not stop me, “Please call when you arrive,” my beta begs, but I only chuckled at his pleads,
” Do not miss me much, Gregory,” my words made my best friend roll his eyes at me since he disliked being called by his full name. After bidding our goodbyes, I left in my car, driving to the destination where Darren and I would meet..
Eventually, I arrived at our meeting spot, Darren stood there waiting with a few of his men,
” Do not tell me these are all your soldiers, Darren?” I asked mockingly as I approached them,
” Then I’ll be doomed, if these are all I’ve got,” he retorts back, Darren brings forth his hands for a handshake which I ignored, and walked further ahead of him. I swear I heard him groan angrily at my actions in front of his men, which caused me to smirk.
” When do we move?” I questioned as we walked into one of Darren’s properties, which was the location of our meeting point.
” At dusk,”
” You plan to attack when they are asleep and vulnerable.”
” Quick thinking as always, Alpha Liam, now let’s go kill some wolves,” Darren speaks out.
It wasn’t clear to me why, but I had a bad feeling about this, like something terrible was going to happen.
