Gloom 162

    <b>Chapter </b><b>162 </b>


    Lewana POV


    Only once the convulsion stops, I release my fangs from his neck. I cradle my broken wrist and <b>just </b>sob onto his chest. I never wanted to mark him like that.


    Liames out from hiding and approaches slowly.


    “Luna Queen. Let me help you. You’re badly injured and ……“.


    I know what he is trying not to say. “I know I’m pregnant, Liam. Serena has checked. Everything’s fine. Mainly bruising, but my wrist is broken. It will take a day to heal properly“.


    I wince as I get up. I try to hide, but Liam notices instantly and runs to my side.


    Aaltoes out next. He looks like he is dazed. “I know this might not be the best timing, but what the fuck just happened?“.


    I just groan as Liam gets me to a t rock to sit on.


    “Shadows. When I was taken, it must have left a space in Conrad’s soul where they could move in.


    What exactly happened while I was gone?“.


    Aalto and Liam just freeze. They say nothing, so I know it must have been bad. I decide now is not the time to press the issue.


    I look at my sleeping mate and, for the first time, take in my surroundings.


    “Where exactly are we?“.


    Eli appears from the background. “It’s a Phoenixpound. A family of about 30 lives here, including a healer who should give you a once–over“.


    “I’m fine, really. I just want to get home. Where are we exactly?“.


    Liam answers all my questions. “Oakwood Valley. It’s in the North East of our territory and just


    under 4000km away“.


    “That honestly doesn’t surprise me. The northern and eastern territories were the biggest <b>supporters </b>of the rogue ideals. They could go more unchecked here“.


    I let out a yawn and flinch when my body starts to try to stretch and shake as the adrenaline <b>is </b>leaving my body.


    Liam instantly became overprotective. “First thing that is happening is this healer is <b>checking </b><b>you </b>


    <b>Chapter </b><b>162 </b>


    <b>out</b><b>, </b><b>and </b>then <b>you </b>are <b>having </b><b>a </b><b>proper </b>rest<b>, </b>and eating. I hear <b>pregnant </b><b>women </b>read in eart


    I roll my eyes and just do as I’m told. I’m too exhausted to fight.


    I’m put in arge room with a King bed. Liam and Eli ungraciously drop Conrad <b>into </b><b>the </b><b>bed</b>, stiff unconscious, and get into bed next to him. Just having his warm body next to mine instantly calms me and Serene, and we are asleep in minutes.


    It’s several hours before we wake again. Liam is asleep on the couch, clearly wanting to <b>be </b><b>close </b><b>to </b>his kind for reassurance. Maybe also to be back up in case we need it.


    Conrad must have felt me stir as he opened his eyes.


    “Hey, Moonlight“.


    “Hey, how are you feeling?“.


    “I’m always better when I’m here with you“. He just strokes my hair and traces my face. Serena <b>has </b>already healed the bruises. She put everything into that first as she didn’t want our mates <b>feeling </b>bad when they remembered.


    “We should get up. We have to n to get home“.


    “No. A few more minutes. Whenever you leave me, you’re taken away. Just stay with me a bit longer“.


    I’m just confused by this. Then it clicks. He thinks he is dreaming. He must have had this dream


    most nights since I was taken from him. I pinch him hard on the arm.


    “Ow“. He sits bolt upright and looks around. I can see his face contort as all of his memoriese


    flooding back.


    He looks over at me, panicked. “Oh Goddess, I didn’t hurt you, did I? It wasn’t me. You know I love you more than anything…….”


    I grab his face and kiss him, sending all my love down the bond. He pulls me closer to him gently


    and sends the love back.


    “I knew it wasn’t you as soon as you kissed me<b>“</b>.


    I hear Liam’s gruff half–alseep voicee from across the room. “It’s great you’re being lovy dovey again, but we still have a crisis on our hands“.


    Conrad sighs and goes into his nning mode. He then grabs his phone to start workin ask Eli and Aalto if they want toe back with us. There is an airfield about an hour from here, and I’m booking a ne under my human alias and a car to take us home, Should take us about eight hours to get home, and we can leave tonight“.

    <b>Chapter </b><b>162 </b>


    <b>“</b><b>What </b>about <b>the </b>van, and all the stuff <b>in </b>It? <b>We </b>can’t <b>exactly </b><b>leave </b><b>military </b>grade equipravant, in <b>term </b>parking


    <b>“</b><b>We </b>can leave it here. Happy for the Phoenix’s to have anything they want. The van as well if requested, <b>if </b>defending us and providing care“.


    Conrad starts to look nervous, and I can see his eyes drifting down to my stomach. I can <b>sense </b><b>his </b>nerves instantly go anything at the <b>moment</b><b>?</b>”


    us and he gulps before speaking. “Do you i


    “No, I’m actually going well. They didn’t hurt me while I was there and looked after me <b>very </b><b>well</b><b>. </b>They had other ns“.


    Both men look at me, confused. And then at each other.


    Liam is the one who asks the question. “If they didn’t hurt you, how did you get pregnant<b>?</b><b>“</b><b>, </b>


    I can’t help but startughing. “They took me because <b>I </b>was pregnant“.


    All the colour instantly drains from Conrad’s face.


    “They…..how….what“.


    “All you need to know right now is that the pups in me are yours“.


    “Pupsssss. As in more than one“.


    “Yeah, Twins to be exact. They did a blood test and it’s very likely to be one boy and one girl“<b>. </b>


    Liam is so excited that he jumps into bed with us. We all startughing, and Conrad ces his hand gently on my stomach.


    Liam suddenly stops and realises there is still a serious issue. He looks at me with a serious face.


    “Luna Queen. I have to ask. Do you know who the traitor is? The one who took you from your bed the night you were taken?“.


    “Yes, but I will exin on the ne, I have other business there to take care of“.
