Chiding myself for not eating properly today, I forced myself to go into the cafe with Alpha as they all profusely apologized to us about the commotion they did before, Kayla and Kavin's heads were in the wolves field where they were all hung up so it was okay after all.
We sat with a serene expression etched onto our faces as the waiter took our order and Alpha made sure that he brings too much food for the baby, I was thinking too much into the pills mystery that my wolf reprimanded me and told me the baby was more important.
"Hey, Luna." A little boy said, it was the same boy Alpha took for a walk, he was refreshed with a new cut and a clean face along good clothes, we were right to put him in an adoption house, he seemed very happy to see us as he hugged me after his little greeting.
"Hello, Tegan, how are you?" I asked and he told me he was fine, he came to the Alpha and whispered in his ear as his eyebrows knitted at the news. He nodded as the little boy gave a small wave and walked to take orders since he worked here.
"God damn it," Alpha swore under his breath but I caught it with my werewolf hearing abilities, I took his hand across the table.
"What's wrong? What did he tell you?" I questioned in a rush.
"Our pack is getting suspicious about your curse, we can't let them know or they will rebel." He said in a hushed tone, blocking all the mind links.
The dread washed over me like a flood; I couldn't let them know, it was my secret and now the Alpha knew, we couldn't add in all the pack members, we had to take action.
I can help you with the curse. Kavon's words echoed in my head but disappeared after. He was dead and there was no use, we had to ensure their safety first and untangle the mystery of that pill.
I nodded with a stone hard face and we ate quickly when the food came, the coffee aroma in the cafe was irritating my nostrils so I told my mate to go out for fresh air.
We both walked with troubled thoughts through the peaceful Sterlight garden.
"Don't worry about it princess, we will find these pills, I linked the guards to search and the trackers too." He wrapped an arm around my waist as he got me closer to his right side as we strolled.
Crystal ran up to us, wide-eyed. "Alpha, you need to come to see this." The dark tinge of her aura said something serious as we both ran as we approached the terrifying scene.
The blonde lady that helped me was dead, laying on the ground among the goriness of blood. I clasped a hand on my mouth as another contraction came.
"Ugh!" I screamed as I put both of my hands on my bump, Alpha directly held me and ran using his speed and linking Crystal to bury the woman, I was squeamish and in a lot of pain.
The doctor injected me with a painkiller as my faint heartbeat slowed down and my eyes shut off.
•••
I woke up to a sobbing Crystal and a furious mate, my droopy eyes took in my deflated belly and my mate's state.
The baby died. Lace slowly confessed like I was fragile. She was right.
"No, Alpha, please tell me our baby boy is good." I sobbed into my hands as the Alpha joined me in my sorrow.
"I-I am so sorry." His voice cracked as his tears leaked with mine as we both cried in silence while everyone left.
"No-" my voice shouted but a new light came upon us as the doctor held a small baby as he cried.
What- Lace was surprised as the baby moved in the arms of the doctor who smiled at both of us.
"He returned back to life." I wiped my eyes as I gasped at how powerful he was as his grey eyes looked at me when I took him in my arms.
"Kaden, my baby, you're alive," I exclaimed sobbing as I rocked him against me. Alpha also had surprise written on his forehead as he smiled through his dried tears.
"He died a minute and came back to life, it must have been the bloodline that saved him from the traumatic worry." The doctor explained as we both showered him with gratefulness.
Kaden was a healthy, well developed and strong like his dad, he got out of my womb in a week and few days since he was special and one of a kind.
The doctor gave us an explanation about the abnormality of our baby's wolf and told us about the mark on Kaden's forehead.
"The buřia mark is a symbol of protection, it protected him from dying as well as his bloodline like I mentioned earlier on, he is a very one of a kind and his wolf is brutally strong and intelligent." The doctor said as we both looked at the symbol of a half moon shining on his forehead as his grey eyes widened and giggled.
I was definitely exhausted as Alpha held Kaden after I breastfed him and talked about when I almost died of the traumatic stress after the lady died but the doctor managed to get the baby out of my stomach, the pain was unbearable at all.
My sticky hair was wrapped up in a bun and I knew I had to take another shower.
I was grateful for the protection mark, that was obviously a rarity since most werewolves never got it, I was happy that Kaden lived and wasn't taken away from me like my family...
