Chapter 18 : A single message

- Kitten -

It had been three days of tracking and digging , yet we found nothing on Xander or Nate. Alpha Tom and Alpha Dean were still holed up in the office with my father, Toms mate was sitting with me on the back porch swing as my eyes stayed glued to the forest behind the house.

"Its going to be okay.." She whispered , I let out a very unlady like snort while i shook my head side to side.

"Look at me, I went missing for thirteen years Sarah, thirteen years..." I whispered towards the end and she pulled me into a hug, I seemed to forget Sarah was a bear until she hugged me.

"Cant... Breath." I wheezed, smiling at me sheepishly Sarah withdrew her arms.

Looking up the sky I stopped when something fluttered and met my eye, a single snowflake fell into the palm of my hand, I watched as it melted away. "I wish Xander was here.." I found myself whispering , I just wanted him there when I had the baby.


"Well get him Kitten.." Sarah tried to be reassuring but I just couldnt see it, if I had went missing for so long who's to say they hadnt hid Xander just as well.

"Yea , I know.." I whispered in return, if I couldn't get Xander back now, after I had my pup I would go meet Kain, and I would kill him. He will die for everything he has done. I take no pride in my thoughts or feelings, but he has taken his game too far, he involved my mate and has taken him from me.

'No mercy.' My wolf purred as she sent images of us ripping him apart in my head. 'satisfaction' her dark voice was dripping with venom, she couldn't contact Xanders wolf and has been pretty feral, shes only letting me keep control for our pup.



"Hey are you guys okay?" Came zains voice, I smiled up at him and patted the seat next to my own. He has kept to his promise and has helped us in the search for Xander, hes been doing patrols and all in all I think hes a nice guy.


"Yea just miss him a lot." I whispered , Zain wrapped his arm around my shoulder and my wolf sighed , he reminded her of Xander and me of my lost mate.

"We will find him for you Kitten, We will." Zain promised as he took a deep breath, I lay my head on his shoulder with a sigh.

"Im sorry I broguht this on your family Zain." My voice came out small as I felt the tears well up in my eyes.

"Don't blame yourself, you didn't do anything wrong Kitten, please don't blame yourself." zain pulled me closer to him and rubbed my shoulder slightly, I sniffled and nodded my head.

"Your right I cant fall apart can I? Not until we find him." Zain chuckled and nodded his head, with one more rub to my shoulder he stood up holding his hand out to me.

"Your dad said its time for bed, youre too close to giving labor to be out this late." I groaned as I took his extended hand and he helped me to my feet, I knew my father was right that soon I would be going into labor.

"I wish Xander was here.." I whispered as I rubbed my belly "No one will be there with me when I give birth.." I looked down and felt the tears fall from my eyes.


"Well your dad can be there.... Or your brother.." Zain held my shoulders as he looked down at me , making me stand in my place he waited until I responded.

"Like i want my dad or brother to see whats .." I pointed to my lower area "Down there?!" I huffed and stomped my foot slightly as he laughed at me.

"I can ask my dad or mom?" I rolled my eyes at him and shook my head.

"Your dad would be more embarrassing than my own, and your mom would talk to me until i screamed in anger..." Zain laughed out loud and let out a sigh shrugging his shoulders, turning to walk into the house I grabbed his wrist and he looked down at me.


"Will you come? If Xander isn't back yet i mean?" I scratched my neck as the necklace felt like it tightened for a moment and Zain smiled at me a soft smile.

"If you want me to, just send a nurse for me if you need me when the time comes. Only if you want me there okay?" I hated to admit that Zain had been like a best friend to me the past few days, he seemed to be genuinely concerned for Xander and has taken my best interest to heart.


I scratched my neck again as the necklace kept giving me weird aches, walking into my room I checked the mirror. The necklace looked the way it did this morning, I spun it around in the mirror to take it off only seeing there was no clasp.

" maybe its hidden..." I mutter as I fiddle with every gem on the piece of jewelry. "Well Houdini made necklaces who would have known.." I growled as I tried to pull it off by force.

Shocks went down my arms and made me gasp for breath as it tightened around my neck. Gripping onto the golden chain I yanked on it before falling to my knees. I screamed out as a sharp pain hit my side, the necklace eased off but the pain in my side did not.

I heard the worried voices of the staff, "Hurry I  think her water broke!"  "Hurry up get the pack doctor!"

I groaned as I felt another pain shoot through my entire body "Ahhhh!" I cried out as I lay on my side on the floor. Several women came running to me helping me up onto the bed, the doctor came in ushering everyone out of the room aside from his nurse.

"I need Xander!" I cried and the doctor shook his head.

"Hes not here Luna , and your pup is coming now." His eyes bore into mine, telling me for sure my worst fear , its now and never and Xander isnt here.


"Get Zain!" I cried, i didnt want to share this moment with anyone but Xander, but I didnt have a choice when it came down to it.
