The One

Chapter 29

Speaking of babies. "Uh, do you think you can help me up? It was easy getting down, but the getting up part, not so much."

A small smile formed across his beautiful face. He bent over and gathered me in his arms.

He placed me on my feet and I reached up on my toes to give him a quick kiss, but Daddy had other ideas. He gripped my waist tight, but not to a point where it hurt. He pulled me as close as he could get me without crushing our two little angels. The kiss had so much force to it that I was sure that my lips would be bruised.

I had to pull back from the force. He rested his forehead against mine. "Don't ever scare me like that again. Do you understand me?"

I just nodded. "Good. Now let's go to bed."

I picked up the pillows while Mason grabbed everything else and we went to our room and settled in for the night. I had my back to Mason and he wrapped his arms around my belly and kissed the back of my head. 

"Night Paige. I love you."

"Love you too." And I let myself go into the darkness.

I open my eyes and I am surrounded by darkness. It is cold out and I am only wearing shorts and a camisole. I look down at my belly and there is blood dripping from it. 

My babies!

I curl into the fetal position and cry. I cry until my head hurts. Mason will hate me for not protecting his pups. What kind of Luna am I suposed to be. I can't even protect my own flesh and blood, let alone a pack full of wolves who look up to me.

I hear someone with labored breathing. I get up and wipe my face to get rid of the tears. I turn around to find the source of the sound. 

I see a body laying on the ground about twenty feet away. "Hello. Are you okay?"

I walk slowly towards the body. It is a male. He is laying on his side wtih his back to me. "Hey. Please answer me."

As soon as I got close enough, the body turned until it was laying on its back. 

 It was Mason. He had cuts all over his face, and he had been shot several times. 

I screamed until i passed out.

"Paige. PAIGE! Get up!"

I woke up covered in sweat. I open my eyes and look into Mason's gray ones. They were filled with concern. Oh thank God. It was just a dream. Just to be completely sure, I check my belly to make sure it is still huge. 

"Oh Mason." I grab his neck and pull him closer and the tears start flowing again.

"Shh babe. Everything is okay. It was just a dream. Want to talk about it?"

I cried into his shoulder for a few more moments before I calmed down enough to talk. 

"Mason it was horrible. I woke up in the woods and there was blood coming from my belly. I lost the babies and to make it worse, I saw you. You were dying. I never experienced so much pain. I never want to lose our pups and you.  I won't be able to handle it. Mason, please never let that happen."

Mason started kissing me all over my face. "Shh. It's okay. I am not going anywhere anytime soon. I'll be damned if I let anything happen to my pups."

"I love you Mason. So much."

He placed a kiss on my forehead. "I love you too. Now get dressed. We have a lot to do today. First we are meeting with the pack doctor to make sure everything is going accordingly and then we have to meet with people for the weeding. It is in a couple of days now and we have been slacking."
