Chapter 18

Carrer

I woke up to the sun light streaming d any attention.

down on my face and the sound of angry birds screeching from outside the window. At first I didn’t even pay in

I was to wrapped up in the feeling of bliss. Not only had I slept the entire night but there was a warm fuzzy feeling in my chest. Like a weight had been lified.

I had never felt a peace like it. Or if I had I didn’t remember it and I liked it, I liked it a lot.

Stretching out my arms above my head I stretched like a car. My back cracking in the process. And even that felt good.

sheets

Sealing myself back on to the pillows I moved my hands to the side. My fingers eagerly looking for my wife but they e came back empty. The were she had been laying were cold. Turning my head to the aid I stared at the pillow were she should have been laying. Still asleep and waiting for me to wake her up with small kisses and light touches,

It was weird that I even wanted to do that but I did. Something had changed last night when we had come together but then things had been changing for the last few weeks. I couldn’t put my finger on when it had started because it had happened so gradually. Maybe that little spark between us had always been there.

Closing my eyes I remembered the first time I had taken her. When I had come across her bathing in the stream naked. She had been like a blazing sun that day. Full of fire and life. At that moment I had thought she was beautiful.

When had that changed? When had her spark dulled?

Another wall went up and this time my eyes flew open. That wasn’t a bird. At least not any bird I had ever heard. It was a cry. A cry of a woman who was in pain and so heartbroken that she couldn’t hold the pain in.

Skye.

Her name was the first thing that popped into my bed. Flinging the covers back I rushed across the room and out in to the corridor in one bound. The sounds of the cries were louder out here. Scream after agonized scream.

Running full tilt towards the sound a million thoughts swept through my mind and none of them were good and after last night and Prudies vicious attack on Skye who could blame me.

Taking the wide curving stairs three at a time I skidded to a stop at the bottom as a scene of horror unfolded in front of me.

It wasn’t Skye who had been screaming.

Prudle was in a heap by the double front doors. Two maids on either side of her trying to lift her to her feet. She was fighting them, snarling and screaming Her body contorting in a way I had never seen before

“What’s going on here?”

She lifted her face to me. It was tear stained and twisted into something grotesque. I froze.

“You” She hissed throwing up a hand to stop me coming any closer. Frowning, I paused midstep

“What is going on?” I repeated. “Did you fall?” Even as I said the words I knew how stupid they sounded. Prudie was the most sure footed wolf I had ever met. She didn’t fall, or stumble. She wasn’t clumsy.

“Someone tell me what happened here!” I snapped with a growl that caused the maids eyes to shift guiltly to the floor.

“We don’t know alpha we just found her like this.” One whispered and I heard no lie in her voice.

“You want to know what is going on Carret. With difficulty Prudie pushed herself to her knees. Scowling I watched as she reached up between her thighs and thrust her hand out towards me

It was bright red.

Blood

So much blood.

A wave of nausea swept over me.

“The baby” I whispered, ice ran through my veins as my blood turned cold.

She dissolved into fresh sobbing and that sound was even more scary than the blood. Because it was the sound of less

Chapter 18

In my chest my heart seemed to stop and then a crack appeared,

“Oh Prudic.” Crouching down I reached for her again and again she swatted my hands away. Her growls were wild and dangerous.

“Don’t you oh Prudie me.” She screamed into my face, her spit landing on my cheek. “Not when you were with her last night. The whole pack house heard you. We all heard you and then- more sobs took over her body.

“I am sorry, 1-“I wasn’t sorry for spending the night with my wife but 1 was sorry she was going through this. I wanted nothing more than to be a father. Family was everything. And my one chance seemed to seeping down her thighs.

“Sometimes nature-“I didn’t get to finish.

“There’s is nothing natural about being pushed one the stairs. Nothing at all but of course

of course you would take her

take her side. You always do”

I bounced to me feel, my head snapping to the side like she had slapped me. She couldn’t be saying what I thought she was

“No.”

“Yes,” She answered with a snart. “She pushed me from the back and not only that she came down and leant over me. She watched me bleed and smiled.”

My head whipped back and forth. “No.” I couldn’t believe it. “Skye wouldn’t do that. She isn’t like that.”

In answer Prudie tried to stand and cried out in pain. Instantly I was at her side. And the closer I got the stronger the smell of blood assaulted me.

“I ask ber-”

“Maybe check her clothes for blood. My blood.” Prudie shut her eyes. “Our pup’s blood.”

Above us someone gasped. Twisting my head I found Skye staring down at her. Dressed in nothing but a robe. Her hair wet and dripping

“What did you do!” I howled.

“What? I’ve done nothing”

Glancing between the two women I lost all of my control. Launching myself up the stairs I grabbed her arm and dragged her downwards with such force that her feet left the floor.

“Check her bathroom for blood” I ordered no one in particular, One of the maids rushed past us without a word.

“Did you do this s

Skye?” Gripping her by the upper arms I shook her with such violence that her head whipped back and forth.

“Garret I didn’t she said with each snap of her teeth. Her eyes were wide and terrified and she had every lost my child then I would kill her. If Skye was guilty of this then-

y reason to be terrified because if Prudie

“Alpha.” The maids voice was tiny. Lifting my face i took in the blood splattered tshirt and towel in her hands.

Rage took over me. A rage so hot and so wild that I was powerless to do anything but act on it.

Skye had seduced me last night, she had lulled me into a false sense of security and then she had snuck out and attacked the mother of my child Prudie was my love and my mate

And Skye had taken away our chance of being a family. It was unforgivable.

“Why did you do this.” Again and again I shook her

“Garret I didn’t-

My hand swung back and my knuckles made her cheek crunch as I back handed her across the face. She went flying backwards. Her hand to her already bruised cheek she stared up at me. A look of disbelief on her face.

“Garret.” She whispered tears running down her cheek.

“Do not be to me. You won’t fool me again.” Turning my back at her I scooped up Prudie. Holding her in my arms. She had to be my priority. I had thought we could make this work but it was clear to me now that we couldn’t.
