“AUSTIn!” She screamed . ” MY BABY ! PLEASE SAVE MY BABY PLEASEEE.” She cried even louder , her terrified screams breaking through my shocked daze and bringing me straight back to her . I stared deep into Lucy’s teary eyes , taking her face into the palm of my hands .” I swear to you Lucy . nOTHInG , absolutely nothing would happen to our baby I swear to you!” I promised her , I would never allow any harm to come to our baby nEVER!
“I’ll get the car ready !” Lucas announced before I could say anything , he shifted and raced out the woods .
I pulled Lucy into my arms and held on tighter than I needed too as I lifted both of us off the ground . I leaned down and laid a k**s against her forehead before I started running through the narrow pathway that leaded to the roadway .
nothing nothing would happen to our baby .
As soon as I got out the car I raced into the doctor’s office , he took one look at Lucy bleeding in my arms and immediately started giving out orders to the nurses around him . During our ride back she had gone unconscious again , exhausted from crying out for our baby , she was scared and it drained all the energy out of her until she couldn’t take it anymore . It was very hard to see and even more difficult that I didn’t know what condition our baby was in .
“Please .” I begged the doctor . ” Please save our baby .”
I carefully followed his orders and laid Lucy onto the patient’s bed .
“I’ll need you to step outside with everyone else Prince Austin .” He told me . ” Please , allow me to do my job .” He added before I could respond . I didn’t want to prevent the doctor from starting his examination and so forced myself to leave even though everything inside of me was begging to stay with Lucy .
I dropped to the ground in defeat , my heart racing and feeling as though it was about to explode any second now . I pulled at my hair as I felt tears form in my eyes as I pounded my head against the wall I didn’t remember the last time I’ve ever cried , didn’t even know if I ever did before . It hurt , both my baby and Lucy was put in danger because of me it burnt like f*****g hell . A wave of depression crashed down on me as the tears poured out my eyes like a river .
I didn’t know how long I was waiting for before the doctor came out , all I knew was that it was the longest minutes of my entire life , each second that I didn’t know what was happening inside the doctor’s examination room felt like a second closer to my very own death .
Everyone waited impatiently for the doctor to say something , my anxiety had reached the sky and I didn’t know how I would take the news he was about to give to us .
” Both Lucy and the baby are safe from any harm .” He announced with a bright smile .
The tension in the atmosphere around us was immediately reduced . Happiness and relief exploded within me at his announcement My mate and my baby were both okay , it was everything I could ever ask for , in fact I didn’t think I would ever wish for something ever again after this day as they were all I would ever want in life from this day forward , after everything I’d put Lucy through , having both her and our baby in my life healthy and alive was the biggest blessing I could ever wish or ask for .
I knew what I had to do now , I had to beg for Lucy’s forgiveness had to beg that she gave me another chance to show to her just how much she meant to me , to show to her just how much I loved her and just how much I loved our baby . To show to her how sorry I was for not recognizing her sooner , to show to her that I would never ever let another tear come to her eyes because of me again there was so much I wanted to say and do for her , so much and I couldn’t wait to do it all I only hoped that Lucy would let me back into her life , let me into our baby’s life .
Our baby .
I loved the sound of that , God Lucy was actually pregnant with my baby , the happiness that suddenly engulfed me at that thought was more than I had ever felt in my entire life .
And they were both out of danger , the two most important people in my life were completely safe and in my life after everything , after all I put the love of my life through how could I still be so lucky to have been blessed with such happiness ?
Happiness that I owed all to her , I’d given her the world of pain and instead she’d only given to me happiness upon happiness . What had I ever done in life to have been blessed with someone as amazing and precious as Lucy ? I still couldn’t believe that she had come back to save us , if Lucy hadn’t returned with her brothers there was no way my pack and I would have survived that attack by ourselves she had saved us , when she didn’t have to . Lucy had shown time after time again the love a mate should have for their own , without even knowing about werewolves Lucy had somehow been a better wolf that I had ever been .
“Can we see her now ?” I asked the doctor .
He took a look around the room and realized it was filled with people waiting to see Lucy , from my family to Lucy’s family and even the pack members . The office was packed to say the least , in fact there were more outside .
“All of you can’t at the same time , but immediate family can see her first , then the rest could see her in turns .”He answered , motioning for me to follow him . ” She’s already awake and I explained to her that the baby is out of harm’s way just to make sure she didn’t go into a shock again .”
I nodded but before I could step forward her father placed his hand on my shoulder . ” Please , let me talk to my daughter first .” He told me with pleading eyes .
I took a deep breath and nodded , the desperation in his eyes was enough to persuade me , whatever he had to say to Lucy , it had to be important .
.
LUCY’S POV:
I had almost lost my baby it was the only thing on my mind right now . My precious baby was almost killed even before I could have met him or her . I clutched my stomach before rubbing it gently my baby , my sweet sweet baby .
“If I had lost you a part of me would have went with you thank you for staying strong for mummy , thank you my little angel .” I whispered .
I was deep in my thoughts when I felt the presence of someone in the room , I looked up with surprised eyes to see that it was my father . I didn’t know why but tears immediately begun to form in my eyes as I openly stared at him .
“W-why? ” I asked him in a broken voice . ” Why did you give me up and why did you act like I meant nothing to you only to show up to help when I needed you the most WHY ?” I demanded from him .
My father’s entire face softened at my words , in fact he looked like I had broken through some sort of barrier and like he was finally ready to spill the whole truth . His eyes watered and he finally was looking at me in the way a father would look at the daughter he loved and cared about the daughter he couldn’t live without .
“I’ve always loved you Lucy , from the moment I first laid eyes on you you were my baby girl . I never wanted to give you up-“
“THEn WHY DID YOU!” I cut him off in pain , I hadn’t even seen my baby’s face yet and already I knew I would never be able to give him or her up so then how could he have done that to me and claimed that he loved me how?
“I’ll tell you the whole truth from beginning to end , I’ll tell you it all. It’s time that you knew Lucy , it’s time that they all knew .”
What?
What was he talking about ?
My father motioned for everyone to enter the room and join him. I watched in anticipation as my brothers walked in, followed by Austin’s entire family. My eyes kept searching the crowd until I found him there in the middle, he wasn’t looking at me, his gaze was down and it looked as though he was ashamed of himself to even be seen looking at me. His thick dark brown hair was in a complete mess, anyone would think that he’d been pulling at the strands for an entire day. It had me thinking that it was exactly what he’d been doing while I’d been in here. I wasn’t sure how I felt about that .now I knew that the only reason he’d treated me the way that he did was because of the spell. But still, he should have known, he should have known I was his and even if he couldn’t tell, he should have never treated me the way that he did. But at the same time, he was my mate, he was the one I wouldn’t be able to live without…he was mine, we were made for each other and I couldn’t imagine my life without him in it. I relaxed in slow stages, reminding myself that I now had a baby to protect. It would do my child no good if I kept stressing over this entire thing. I was at least grateful to know that we’d all come out of this battle alive and with just a few scratches. I turned my attention back to my father as his voice echoed throughout the room. He was finally ready to explain the truth.
“It all started the day I overheard a conversation between Eric and his Beta. I was on my way to let him know of a surprise birthday party I wanted to throw for Jeremy and instead I’d gotten the shock of my life after hearing of his brutal plan to overthrow Jeremy’s pack. Unfortunately for me, I didn’t realize one of Eric’s pack members had seen me and told Eric I’d heard everything. So, before I had time to warn Jeremy of the attack, Eric had already set his plan into motion. Apparently, he had already bribed some of my pack members to join him on the ambush. He knew that he wouldn’t be able to overthrow Jeremy with the little power that he had back then and so he only let my pack members do all the attacking so that he could frame me and make it look like I was the whole mastermind behind everything. That way, no one would believe anything that I had to tell them about that specific incident I’d witnessed. After the whole attack, no one listened to a word I said. “My father explained as he turned to gaze at King Jeremy. “You didn’t wait to hear my side of the story…didn’t give me a chance to prove my innocence. It did hurt, because you were like a brother to me, I’ve always spent my life proving my loyalty to you and your family because I’ve always considered them as my own. I understood why you did what you did however, all the evidence said I’d done it. So you banished my family and I… Without many of our pack members, we could no longer support ourselves.”
Austin’s parents were looking at my father, their eyes brimmed brightly with unshed tears. I could see the regret in their eyes for everything they’d done as they gazed at my father almost pleadingly, they hadn’t said anything yet but the look on their faces spoke volumes on the way that they felt about my father’s confession.
My father’s eyes were distant as he continued with the story. He seemed to be reliving the past and I couldn’t imagine how hard it must have been to have kept all of this inside for so long. “We suffered for a while, could barely afford food with what we had left. One day I came across this woman crying in the forest near our new home. After approaching her I realized that she was a witch, her eyes were b***d red and she was shaking as though she’d just lost something important to her, as though something tragic had occurred, I took her into my home and there is where she told me her story. Her name is Paige Snow and she is the same witch I brought with me today. Eric murdered her daughter, that was why she was in such a horrible state. A mother grieving for her child, it only proved just how disgusting Eric truly was. I don’t know whether it was faith that brought us in the same place at the same time but what happened next completely shocked me a lot more than the news of Eric killing her innocent daughter. As soon as her eyes had fallen onto Lucy in the arms of my wife, it was as though she’d stopped breathing, her eyes were distant and it looked as though she was in another world. She had seen a great vision that involved Lucy. She requested that we bring the child closer to her and she pressed her hands on her forehead in hopes of seeing more than her last vision.” My father explained as he turned to face me once more. I held my breath for what more was to come, this could be the answers I’d desperately been searching for in the past.
