Chapter 4

Skye

“Nonna” I pushed myself up against the pillows and the old woman stepped into my room and shut the door softly behind her. She was the eldest person in the pack. And the strongest. Maybe not physically but mentally she was the strongest person I knew.

I liked my husband’s grandmother, she was one of the only people in this house that had ever shown me any kindness. And I was sure she liked me aswell

“Nonna you should be resting.” She had a surgery coming up and even though it wasn’t thought to be dangerous at her age any kind of operation would be. I couldn’t stand the thought of something happening to her.

“Don’t fuss you silly child.” She shushed me as she scraped a chair over to my bedside and lowered herself painfully into it. “Tell me what is wrong with you!”

I winced at the sound of her joints cracking and popping but didn’t say anything. She didn’t like to be coddled. She was a woman who was used to doing things for herself.

“I’m fine.“1 lied. “Just a little cold. Nothing to worry about at all”

The wrinkles around her eyes deepened as she narrowed them. “Yes, because you walked in the rain for ten miles. You are Luna. You should have called for a car. Silly girl.” She reached out and wrapped my hand in hers. Her skin felt paper thin. “You really must try harder, Skye.”

“I am trying Nonna,” I whined and I hated it. I hated how desperate I sounded because I never used to be like this. Five years ago I was happy. I didn’t have a lot but I had my happiness and I now knew how important that was.

Her fingers tightened almost painfully around mine. For an old lady, she sure was strong. My bones crunched.

“You are not trying. You are in here wallowing in your self pity and he is-“A blush crept up her checks and I looked away again. “Well, I am too old in beat around the bush Skye. He is with his whore. The one who will replace you if you do not get out of this bed and make an effort.”

“Replace me?” I swallowed hard. “And I know he is with her. It is where he always is. I don’t mind?

Truth was I did mind a little bit. Ours was a strange relationship. I wanted to be a good wife, and an even better Luna and I wanted to be happy. But I couldn’t be any of those things. I hated the fact he went to her but at the same time if he was with her it meant she wasn’t making my life a hell.

Only last week I had caught her rubbing my dirty clothes over her naked body Even over her intimate parts. She hadn’t seen me but it had been strange. Why would Prudie do that? She was one strange she–wolf

“You should mind Skye. You should and you should be furious. You need to fight for your place here now more than ever.

My frown deepened. There she went again. Hinting at something but not saying it outright. It was very unlike her.

“Nonna, what is happening!”

“There are rumours. Probably untrue of course. I don’t want you to worry I just want you to get out of this bed and get better. Fight for your marriage and your place in this pack.”

“Nonna.”

“There are rumours flying around the kitchen that Garret is planning on formally rejecting you and taking Prudence as his wife and mate. That she is pregnant and–

The blood drained from me Pregnant? How was that possible? Well, I knew hour it was possible but what were the odds of both his wife and his mistress being pregnant at the same time

A memory from earlier that day of a little photo in Garret’s hand as he stormed out. At the time I hadn’t thought anything of it but now I knew it was my doom.

Was that a scan photo! I had some as well. Alle stack of them that the doctor had given me before I had left her clinic. They were the on had to prove I was pregnant as well and if what Nonna said was true I would need proof

only proof 1

If Garret rejected me now he would also reject the baby I was carrying. He would force us to leave here and never return.

I would be all alone with just my baby.

Which might not be a bad thing. It could be good for m

“Oh no you don’t” She slapped my hand angrily. “Don’t you even dare think about accepting his rejection! Your rightful place is here. We are your

people. So you get up and get fighting. I’ll have medicine brought up for you that will ease your cold and the sickness bug you seem to have as well. It’s good stuff. I take it myself. Sometimes it feels like I could fly.”

“No.” My voice was sharp.

“No” They raised an eyebrow, “Why no?”

Swallowing hard I tried to think of an excuse to give her that wouldn’t give away my pregnancy. I wanted to decide what I was doing before I told anyone about the baby.

“I just don’t like it, Nonna.”

She stood up angrily. “You don’t want to get better, Skye. That’s what Garret says and I am starting to believe him. Why won’t you fight for him? I he really that hard to love!”

Is

I wanted to say yes but honestly Garret made my heart flutter. It was the fact that he was totally in love with someone else that made him unlovable. How could I give him my heart when he was locked against me?

“No Nonna but we never really had a chance anyway. Prudence is his true mate.” I didn’t mention the fact that I had found mine as well. And I had found true blinding happiness for just a few minutes as we kissed under the trees.

“He thinks Prudie is his mate but men rarely get these things right. He lets his cock think for him. He doesn’t follow his heart. You have to make him see you, Skye. The real you. The one I can see,”

“I’ll try. Nonna

She stood there and stared down at me. “I hope you do. Skye. I doubt he will do anything before my surgery but you don’t have long. Without another word, she left the room. Leaving me to stare at the closed door for a second.

Were the rumours true? Was Garret going to reject me? I had no doubt that they were. Nothing happened in the pack house that Nonna didn’t know about. Not ever. If she had heard that Prudie was pregnant and I was going to be cast out then that’s what was going to happen.
