Chapter 42
“Charlie and I were trained to lead from young ages, Theo too but he was training to be beta you know so it was different,”
“I didn’t have much training at all if it was for Travis, Steven’s father I would have been lost. He was very stern but he taught me right from wrong and I could go to him for anything,” Gryason told me with a wistful smile on his face.
“My mother did most of my training, my grandmother helped while they were around, they enjoy traveling and seeing the monoliths of the old wolves in europe,”
“Your mother seems to be a very passionate woman, she loves her kids a lot,” He gave me a knowing look.
“She does, I know my father thinks it’s her fault. She’d shield us from the world but that’s not how the world works as you know,” I agreed with him.
“So you’re saying you wouldn’t be the exact same?” Grayson squinted at me accusingly.
“Oh I would probably be worse, but I would do my best to fight against my instincts and let them fumble so that they could learn to pick themselves up again,” I confessed.
“My mother I–I argue with her of course but she was my whole world. Everything she did, she did for me. She built the pack up enough so we could survive and then she found an alpha to train me, she without knowing built the foundations for all we have,”
“I’m so glad that you had her, you deserve a mother like that,” I was being completely honest. Grayson was flawe
flawed as
anyone was but he didn’t deserve a loveless life.
He shifted in his seat a little. “I don’t know, sometimes I think after everything I did she still sees me in a bad light, I’m not trying to get you to pity me. I just
“As your wife you are allowed to confide in me,” I tease him. “Perhaps and this is just a thought, you could talk to
her?”
He folded his arms and looked away from me “I don’t really enjoy talking about my feelings,”
“I noticed,” I smirked leaning my head on my hand. “But you’ll feel like this until you do. Taking is what healthy people do,”
“I’m health
healthy,” he nodded to his very impressive physique.
I laughed looking away so he wouldn’t see my blushing cheeks. “I mean a healthy relationship. We’re doing much. better since we’ve started to talk,” I looked down at the table my cheeks refusing to cool down.
“You’re very beautiful when you get embarrassed,” he spoke and I snapped my eyes to his.
“That is not helping!” I turned away again covering my cheeks. His rumbling laugh hit my ears and I felt my stomach
flutter.

mom to give him lots of breast milk as that would help him get on track.
I sat down, my heart pounding as Marie held her screaming hoy, Charlotte cleaned her up and stitched her back together. I felt like it had happened in a matter of seconds.
I loved bringing children into the world but in those moments where you see it all in your hands it feels like I should
pass out instead of helping.
A knock sounded at the door and Aarron entered. “The alpha would like to know if the newest member of our pack is healthy?”
“A virus is all he has,” Charlotte nodded to him. “Mout and him are both doing well,”
“Ill go tell the alpha,” Aarron nodded, “Congratulations you two,”
“L–let me tell him,” I stood up keeping myself composed as I headed out.
“Lama?” Aarron called after me but I went straight to Grayson.
I walked through the clinic into the offices of the Keep and straight to the end of the hall where he worked. I braged into his office Matt sitting beside him. (2)
“Matt I would like you to leave,” My voice shook as I spoke.
“Ye–yeah yes luna,” He shot up, shocked at my stem but shaken demand
“Annette?” Grayson came over to me quickly as the beta closed the door.
I leant into him subbing
“The baby didn’t make it?”
“It did the baby fine, Marie is fine, they both are doing well,” I wept again, hitting my head against his hard chest grabbing fists into his shirt. My b*dy was shaking at the stress I had just endured.
He grabbed me, sitting me down. “I don’t understand if the baby and Marie are okay, why are you so upset?”
“I COULD HAVE LOST THAT BABY!!” I screeched at him, my emotions gaining on me, my face was no doubt red and blotchy, I felt all control I had bundling itself like a messy ball of string.
He placed his hands on my shoulders. “It’s okay, it’s okay, you did well, they’re both alive just breathe and try to calm down, just remind yourself it’s over, everyones okay, and you’re here with me,” He wrapped me in his arms, rubbing my back and allowing me to cry into him.
“I had never been in charge of a situation like that, it could have gone so, so wrong,” I whispered, staring blankly
ahead.
“You need to give yourself more credit, you kept them both safe, but it’s all over now,” He rubbed my back and wiped the tears from my face.

“It was just so much,” I looked down, my sense starting to return to me clearing the fog of distress.
“I know,” he leaned me against him, “But you are strong enough to handle anything, that I know,” He k*ssed my forehead with his velvet, magical l*ps.
I brought my l*ps to his finding my way to reality and present time. It was all over, there was a new member of our pack, and I was here in his arms.
“Thank you, Grayson,”

I’m glad that he’s finally taking his walls down. It’s better for both of them to be able to open up and confide in one another.

So happy they had started k*ssing and touching. I can’t imagine what Annette would have gone through if that hadn’t happened already!
