Chapter 69
Alfreds POV
I had stopped pacing for a moment, then my arm started to hurt. I immediately sent Chris to check on Vanessa. He then returned laughing.
“What is wrong with her?”
Stacey said she pinched herself because she didn’t believe this was all real.”
That figures she is always doubting everything, but considering what she has been through in her life, it’s understandable. It makes sense. I will show her how real this all is. Just as I was about to leave the room and go talk to her, the music started. My body starts buzzing with anticipation. I have seen this woman every day for the past month. Today is special. As I turned around, my breath caught in my chest. She looked like the moon goddess herself walking down the aisle. She looked stunning. I reached out my hand to her and took her up on stage. We performed the ceremony, and then I marked her again. She marked me also. Then it was time for the shifting, and she did it beautifully. We had finished the ceremony and were getting ready to leave when we were attacked.

A witch was in front of Vanessa, and then she was stabbed in the heart. I screamed.
“NO”
As she fell to the ground. I fought through the crowd of witches, werewolves, and vampires, and I was at her side. I took the knife out immediately. Why was she not healing? Then I felt it. They have poisoned her with wolfsbane. I picked her up and rushed her to the doctor. He met us at the door of the hospital. He looked her over and said.
“She is dying.”
”
NOOOOOO.”
Then all I saw after that was red. I ran out of the hospital and back into the fight. I ran up to the vampire that had held Vanessa’s arms so the witch could stab her. I had him by the throat.
“Who sent you.‘
“Fuck you.”
“Wrong answer.”

I then snapped his neck and ribs off his head. His blood was shot everywhere. I was covered in it. I then went to the next vampire. He was fighting Chris. I grabbed him by the neck, and when I was about to question him, a rogue werewolf attacked. He was on my
a moment, then I threw him off me, and then shifted. Leon bit down on his throat. I could feel his blood fill Leon’s mouth. I could feel his claws digging into his flesh. He then, with one jerk of his head, ripped out his throat. I was in such a rage that bodies were everywhere. Then Chris Stacey and my father were holding me back. There was only one werewolf left.
“Alph
we need to question him, and you need to get back to your Luna.”
They were right. I turned around and ran back to the emergency room. I shifted back to human form as soon as I arrived at the hospital. I immediately found Doctor Moser.
”
”
Alpha, she does not look good.
She is in critical condition.”
I dropped to my knees and prayed to the moon goddess to save her. He had gotten her
stable, so I went into her room. I sat in the chair next to her bed.

Another thing is Alpha. She was pregnant but lost the baby.”
My heart sank when he said that. How could I not have known she was pregnant? She did not have any symptoms.
“Do not tell her, I will tell her in time.”
As you wish, Alpha.”
I had to leave the room. I was so upset that she had lost my pup because of the attack. It was no fault of her own. I ran out of the hospital and let out a growl of anguish. The whole pack heard me. Chris came running to me.
Alpha, what is it?”
и
Is Vanessa going to live?”
”
She is in critical condition and is in a coma.”

“She lost my pup.”
Chris looked astonished. He did not know she was pregnant, nor did I. She did not display any symptoms. I sat on the patio steps for hours trying to wrap my head around the fact that she was pregnant. I thought that I had been careful about that. I did not want her to get pregnant right now. In the future, yes, but not while she is still healing and getting stronger. I also thought that she wolves could not get pregnant until they came into heat. Then it dawned on me that we both have alpha blood in us. So that means things tend to go a lot faster than normal.
I was so lost in thought that I did not hear someone come up behind me. I knew it was not an intruder. It smelled like the doctor. More bad news. I had better find out what is wrong now.
“1
Alpha Vanessa needs you by her side. I know you are upset, but she will get stronger faster with you by her side.”
That is one thing we agree on. I walked back to the hospital. The whole pack was waiting outside the hospital. As I walked by, they apologized. I knew the news that Luna had lost the pup had spread already. I stood in front of the emergency room doors and cleared my throat.
The Luna had no idea she was pregnant, neither did I, please don’t tell her until I tell her.”
The doctor rushed out, grabbed my arm, and started to pull me inside. He then whispered.
“The Luna is dying.”
All the color drained from my face as I rushed into her room. She was not fighting. Her heartbeat was slowing down. What is going on? She then flatlined.
NO NO NO NO.”
I was violently shoved out of the room. The whole hospital staff rushed into her room. I felt lightheaded and dizzy. She was not dead; I would have felt it. She is just weak. I barged into the room and lay down on the bed with her, even though they kept trying to pull me away from her. I growled, and they left me alone. Her heart was starting to beat
again. Her blood pressure started to stabilize. Just then, the prophet came into the room,

Alpha, I need to speak to you.”
“Then speak I growled.”
“You need to stay with her or she will lose the will to live.”
She was bound to me for her life. She must have known before I told her that she lost the
baby. I then got off the bed and on my knees.
TI
Little one, please don’t give up, you are my Luna and the woman I love. We can have
more babies.”
I held her hand all night. Her heartbeat was stable but slow. She was at least hanging in
there. I cried and howled all night. Just before dawn, I heard her voice.
“Im sorry Alfred.”
