Book Two Chapter Thirty–Five


    Tessa


    The entire flight home, I was sick. Even after my stomach was empty, it would keeping up. By the


    time the ne hadnded, I felt worse. My head was pounding and my body ached.


    I was also worried about Aspen and my heart twisted painfully for him. I missed him so much.


    “Sis, you okay?” My brother held out his hand as I struggled to descend the ne’s stairs.


    “Yeah, just tired,” I mumbled. I took his hand and he caught me when my knees buckled.


    “We need to get you to the hospital, Tess,” Sarah said as my brother scooped me into his arms.


    “I need to go to his pack. We have to get Luna Orion out of there. I don’t know how much time she has


    left in her pregnancy,” I protested.


    “And how do you think she will feel if you risk her grandchild,” she retorted.


    “I can heal her. I need to be there. I can rest in the car on the way to the pack. We need to get her out


    of there now,” I argued.

    “First, hospital,” my brother ordered. “Then I will call Alpha Orion.”


    “No,” I shouted.


    “Tess, we are going to need his help,” Sarah said as my brother sat me down in the back of one of the


    SUVS waiting for us.


    “He can’t know yet. He will never let me help if he knows. And I’m the only one that can heal her.” I


    pleaded with my friend. “Your both know what kind of a monster he is. What if he hurt the baby? I can


    heal him. We need to go now. I will try to eat anything and drink whatever on the drive there. Please, I


    can’t let him lose.


    another mother,” I cried.


    “Quick trip to the pack and then we will leave. You need something to help keep the food down.” My


    brother said as he buckled me in.


    “Thank you,” I breathed out.


    “Don’t thank me yet, sis. We still need to get her and her baby out of there,” he kissed my forehead


    before closing the door. Sarah climbed in beside me and my brother took the front passenger


    seat.


    Sarah gripped my hand as the SUV sped down the road from the airport to our pack. I still haven’t been


    able to ask her about how she got together with my brother. I thought she didn’t have her wolf yet. Did


    his wolf im her? I know she came from a family of ranked wolves but she doesn’t like to talk about


    how she ended up in our pack.

    I sighed as I rested my head against the window. I closed my eyes and my thoughts went to Aspen. My


    heart twisted painfully at my memories of us. I’ve missed him, more and more over thesest three


    months.


    I was anxious about seeing him again. Would he reject me for running and taking his child with me?


    Would he believe I didn’t know when I left? Or that I didn’t want to leave. I was protecting his pack


    against Connolly and my father. I didn’t know he was my mate. But even if he wasn’t, I wouldn’t have


    been able to live with myself if anything happened to him because of me.


    I quickly wiped away the tears as the SUV came to a stop. Sarah squeezed my hand and I looked over


    at her.


    “It’s going to be okay,” she assured me. I forced a smile. I never thought I would see Aspen again so I


    never told her my fears. He probably hates me and has moved on with someone else. I choked back a


    sob at the thought.


    “Breath, babe, breath,” she wrapped her arms around me.


    “I fucked up, Sarah. He could be with someone else,” I sobbed as she held me tight.


    “A man who looks at a woman like that, would never just move on, Tess. I know Aspen loves you. And I


    know you love him. It’s why you couldn’t stay away from him. Your souls were pulling you two together.”


    “Is that how it is with my brother?” I asked, looking up at her. She bit her lip as her eyes drifted to the


    front seat.

    “I love Titus. Since arriving at the pack, I have always felt something. Something I couldn’t ignore no


    matter how hard I tried. Our rtionship didn’t happen overnight, Tess. But after your father sold you


    and was pressuring him to take on a mate from another pack, he knew we couldn’t stay. I couldn’t


    watch him be with another and I couldn’t let my best friend be forced to be with that monster.” She


    forced a smile. I know leaving my brother must have been hard and knowing he was being forced to be


    with another must have been unbearable.


    “I was never with anyone else,” my brother stated. “No matter how hard my father pushed me to be like


    him, I couldn’t.” He reached back and took her hand.


    I was happy for my brother and best friend, but then I was sad for myself. Would Aspen feel the same


    way? I was his first and he was mine. This child I’m carrying proves he is my fated mate. But I ran. I


    hurt him. Would he be able to forgive me?


    “The doctor is here to check on you and after the warriors are. packed we will be heading to the meet–


    up point. I want you to rest while we drive. You are going to need it if you are going to meet Luna Orion


    at the wall,” Titas said before getting out of the vehicle. The wall. The same ce I ran to when I


    escaped with Sarah.


    My door was opened and a doctor I had known my entire life. stepped forward.


    “Miss Tessa,” his eyes went wide when he noticed my small bump, but he cleared his throat.

    “The alpha has said you are experiencing morning sickness. How far along are you?”


    “Fourteen human weeks,” I told him. Wolves are pregnant for thirty weeks, so I’m almost halfway there.


    He nodded. “Can you please lift your shirt? Let’s find the heartbeat and then I will give you something


    for the nausea and the dehydration.” I did what he asked and he pulled out a little machine. Sarah had


    bought one. so we could listen to the heartbeat. We couldn’t risk me going to the hospital in a human


    town.


    I smiled when the thumping became loud through the speaker.


    “Baby’s heart is beating strong. When you return, we should do an ultrasound, but for now, these will


    help with the nausea.” He wiped off the gel before reaching into his bag. He handed me a pill bottle and


    some drink packets.


    “Take these three times a day, and mix this with a water bottle. It will also help. You should be feeling


    better in no time.” He assured me. I thanked him and Sarah reced him at the open door.


    “Let’s get cleaned up and then we should be leaving.” I climbed out of the vehicle and followed her into


    my childhood home.
