The Alpha Of The Shadow Pack And His Mute Luna (by Beatrice Putnam) novel Chapter 93

Chapter 93

Alfreds POV

I loved that we acted like two teenagers last night after taking a shower. Then I finally caught her, and then we went to bed. We had gone to bed super late and did not wake up until almost noon. Right now, it does not matter. I got up and made a late breakfast. After breakfast, we went and sat in the living room. I had noticed last night that she was reading a book on witchcraft. It opened to the page that started the section on curses. I assumed she was trying to find a way to break the curse on my brothers. There was only one way. You can find the witch who had put the curse on us. Then make them reverse the curse. She had every right to be looking for a way to break the curse permanently.

When we had children, if they were a boy, he would be cursed until he found his mate. If he never found his mate, then we would be without grandchildren, and he would shift to a wolf and stay that way. I did not want that. Vanessa suggested that we let Leon and Sasha spend time together. I could not agree more with her. They needed to be together. They haven’t had many opportunities to spend time together. This was mainly because Vanessa had not yet had her first shift. But that was OK.

We shifted to wolf form and allowed them to spend as much time together as possible. When we got back to the house, Vanessa told me where Tyler Glider was hiding. The witches‘ forest was going to be tricky to get to him. I would also need verification that he is out there. I would send some warriors and have them discreetly investigate on my behalf. I knew if I went, they would recognize me immediately. I mind linked Chris. He responded that he understood. We then took a shower and got dressed. It was getting late. I had a fire pit on the side of the house. We went and lit it, and then sat out there wrapped in blankets, enjoying hot cocoa. I held her close, and she fell asleep.

I loved watching her sleep. She was beautiful. Lately, her nightmares have been less frequent. She has been resting peacefully. Which I was very pleased about. I had also noticed that she was gaining weight. She had some meat on her. The last time we had sex doggy style, you could hardly see her spine protruding through her skin. She was getting healthier, stronger, and more beautiful every day. She was also healing like she was supposed to. She was on the road to recovery. It has taken months to get her where she is. I was going to make sure it stayed that way. Tomorrow, we will conduct additional training. Since that is something she wants to do. By the time we go back to the pack, she is going to be a different person. The next step was to teach her to control her powers.

The moon goddess blessed her with them, but did not send a manual to teach her to use them. I will ask the prophetess to help with it. She was mastering shifting. She was training and doing well. I pulled her close to me and kissed the top of her head. I then whispered in her ear.

I love you.”

I love you too.”

I then carried her into the house and laid her on the bed. I covered her up and went and cleaned up the cabin a bit while she slept. I then sat down on the couch and thought about what she said about Tyler. I wanted to get my hands on him very badly. He betrayed my family many years ago by cursing the men in the family. From what I was told, when he was going to be captured, he escaped by using magic. My mother was excellent throughout our childhood. She would always be there, no matter what. When my brothers did not find their mates and were stuck in wolf form, she still always planned holidays and birthdays. She just bought different things. I did not want Vanessa to have to go through that.

She has already been through so much. There is no way to tell how many boys we will have. We could have a bunch before we have a girl. My parents stopped after they had Stacey. My mother had her tubes tied so she could no longer get pregnant. They always said that after having five boys and one girl, it was enough. I was the only son who had found his true mate. My brothers did not take the curse seriously. They even tried to trick it by taking chosen mates. But they did not fool it. I had tears running down my cheeks as I thought about the future. I heard the bedroom door open and then felt her arms around me. I knew she could feel my pain.

Babe, we will figure it out.”

“I know little one.”

“Let’s go to bed.”

We went back to bed. I pulled her close. Her scent was comforting. She held my hand. We fell asleep. I woke up to the sun coming through the curtains. The rays coming through almost blinded me. It was time to get up. Vanessa was still sleeping. Ever since she went into heat, she has been more tired.

*FUCK.

Could she be pregnant again? Her body is not strong enough. I ran into the bathroom and rummaged through the medicine cabinet. I found the pregnancy test that was there. I

held it in my hand, hoping I was wrong. Vanessa came into the bathroom.

Little one, I think you’re pregnant.”

“What are you talking about?”

“1

You are tired a lot.”

I showed her how to use the test. I was praying to the moon goddess that my hunch was wrong. The box instructed us to wait for five minutes. We waited for what felt like eternity. Vanessa did not want to check it. I slowly pick it up with shaky hands. It said she was pregnant. I dropped the test. She came in when she heard me slump to the floor. She picked it up and read it, and then she fainted. I know I should be beyond happy. But I’m not. She had already miscarried because her body was not strong enough. That wasn’t very long ago. I caught her before she hit the floor.

I carried her to bed. I then found my cell phone and called Doctor Moser.

We are coming back this evening.”

Vanessa is pregnant, according to the at–home pregnancy test.”

“Oh.”

He then hung up the phone. I packed up our things and mind–linked Chris to bring the car. I put her in the car while she was sleeping. I was very concerned because she was still asleep. Could carrying this child be draining her? She slept all the way home. We stopped at the hospital. The doctor was waiting.

”

Take her to the examination room.”

“I laid her down on the bed and then left.”
