Chapter 32
Megan’s POV
I have always hated being awakened out of my sleep by my mistake of not closing the curtains before bed. I could feel the sun rays beating down on my face; if this was any other morning I would be pissed, but given the fact that I had the worse nightmare ever, I am shocked to say that I am grateful for the curtains being open this early in the morning.
I stretch out in my bed and realize that it feels much different than my normal bed; maybe I am still dreaming. I roll to the side and I can feel that I am at the edge of the bed when I was just on the other end. Since when has my bed felt this small?
I feel as if it is around eight in the morning so I finally open my eyes and quickly reclose them because that was not the sun beating down on my face. It was one of those stupid lights that dentist shove in your face to inspect your teeth.
“Shut that stupid light off!” I screamed at whatever idiot thought it was a good idea to wake me out of my sleep. Almost instantly, the bright light was shut off and I could finally open my eyes. When my eyes finally flutter open I am met with the sight of white; white everywhere when last time I checked, my walls were a light sky blue color.
White sheets, white walls, and a woman dressed in white, which I soon realized was the pack doctor. Seeing our pack doctor made the realization of what happened the night before come back like a ton of bricks just weighing me down and making me immobile. The doctor looked at me with sympathy in her eyes, which just confirmed my biggest fear.
He was really gone. The love of my life, my best friend, my mate was gone and he would never return. The man that I hated, but at the same time I was going through all this trouble for so our future could be how fate wanted it. I felt a tear run down my face which was something foreign to me, I haven’t cried in years; the last time I cried was when Jared confessed to me his feelings for Paige when we were 14.
Megan doesn’t cry. I am far too strong of a person to cry so I wipe away the lone tear and jump out of bed with a vengeance. The depression of losing my mate is still there, but it was replaced with fury. I pushed aside the pack doctor and rush out of her house faster than I have ever moved in my life. Before I knew what was going on I heard my clothes tearing and I felt my bones shifting. Then pain from shifting gradually dulls with age and depends on how much a wolf shifts, but with my fury and sadness, I could not feel an ounce of pain.
My wolf moved quickly to my house, the house Jared and I were supposed to live in until the new Alpha house was built. My anger increased even more; we were never going to live together as a couple, we were never going to get married or make love or have pups. All of my hopes and dreams were shattered by the pathetic excuse of a wolf.
Paige.
She is the reason why my future with Jared will never happen. I do not care if I don’t make it out alive after I kill her as long as the bitch suffers. I want her to feel the same pain I am feeling. I want her to feel as if there is no reason to continue living, which means that Mason has to die along with those babies that she is carrying.
My house finally came into my view and I ran up the porch steps and did not pause and shift to enter, I forcefully broke the front door down and raced up the stairs to my bedroom. As I entered the room, I could feel my bones shifting for the second time within a few minutes and I entered the bathroom that was attached to my bedroom, in my human form.
The first thing I did was walk up to the mirror that was above the two-sink counter and looked at my naked reflection. My hair was wild and matted; my eyes were wild, crazy, and devoid of any emotion. I did not look like myself; I looked like a woman who enjoyed seeing people suffer, which is what I wanted at this moment. I wanted anyone and everyone to suffer.
At this point I could care less about strategy and tactics. I just wanted blood to be bled and I want people to suffer. I threw on whatever clothes my hands touched first and ran down the stairs and out of the house to my mate’s second in command, Martin, who is officially the Alpha.
Martin’s small, but cozy one story house was not too far from my own so I was running up the porch steps shortly after I left my house. I knocked on his front door with a little too much force, but I couldn’t help it I am a mourning, angry wolf.
A big burly chest came into my view as soon as the front door opened whom I recognized as Charlie, one of the two Alpha bodyguards. Some bodyguard he is, letting his Alpha get kidnapped and killed. I was suddenly overcome with anger towards Charlie, if Charlie would have been better at his position, none of us would be in his horrid situation.
“You stupid fucking excuse for a bodyguard. You had ONE job and that was to watch and protect your Alpha; to make sure no harm came his way and now he is fucking dead. His body has been cut into pieces and it is all your fucking fault.” My eyes went red as I was screaming at him. Just saying these words aloud made me even more pissed at Charlie.
As I went to go attack him, which may have been stupid on my part considering that he is like four times my size, he spun me around and held me in a choke hold with ease. It was generally his job to do this for outsiders or rouges, but not for his future Luna, or in this case the ex future Luna.
“What the fuck Charlie. Let me go you fucking dick and sorry ass excuse for a fucking wolf. You piece of shit. You let Jared die!! You let my fucking mate die and you didn’t do a damn thing to stop it. It is all your fucking fault and I will rip you to shreds starting with shoving your small dick into your mouth until you choke!” His grip on my throat tightened at my word until I was gasping for air. After a short while my vision was filled with black spots and the last thing I heard before I passed out was Charlie whisper “we are all glad the piece of shit is dead.”
Three long hours later I am on my way back to my house that Jared and I were supposed to share after being told that I was being kicked out of the pack for endangering and threatening a loyal pack member. I was also kicked out for being apart of a major psychotic plan to attack a pack that was easily 10 times more stronger than ours.
Apparently I was not mentally stable enough to be in the pack and now I have 30 minutes to clear the land before I am going to be attacked and killed because I am officially a rogue. This makes my plan for attacked Mason so much harder because I am basically alone in this process, but I honestly don’t give a shit.
About 40 yards from my broken front door I see something laying on my doorstep, which vaguely looks like a package with a bow on it. Something in the pit of my stomach tells me that I am not going to like the contents of the package. As I near the package I smell the old blood and the stench of a dead body. If that package contains what I think it contains then all hell will be broken and I will attack Mason immediately.
Paige’s POV
I wake up from kisses being placed on my face and neck from none other than my fiancé. “Please leave me alone Mason. I’m still tired.” I stretch and roll over from him, but that does not stop him from bothering me.
“Its time to get up baby. Our guest will arrive soon. C’mon sweetie.” He pulls me up and I can’t help but be a tad bit frustrated because it seems like I never get enough rest with these four always bothering me. Those four being Mason, Amber, and my two unborn babies.
“I am up. I am up! Move away so I can get dressed. The faster I get dressed the faster everyone will leave.” Mason being the stubborn person he is wouldn’t move so I could get up. “Mason please. I have to get ready.”
“You can get up and ready only after you give your future husband a kiss.” I couldn’t help but roll my eyes at his silliness but I still leaned in for one of his amazing kisses. As soon as our lips touched I couldn’t help my arms as the wound around his neck and one of my arms found its way into his hair. It seems as if we don’t have any Mason and Paige time anymore. We are always busy these days. Him with his pack business and dealing with Jared and I with the wedding and preparing for our babies to get here.
I lost myself in his kiss, which is not a hard task. He bites down on my bottom lip and I could not contain the moan that escaped my lips, which gave him the opportunity to slide his tongue into my mouth. After what seemed like seconds of his wonderful kiss the door to our bedroom is swung open with a lot of force. I pull back like I was caught making out with my teacher rather than my fiancé.
“You two need to hurry and bring your asses downstairs. Your guests have arrived and since I don’t reside in this humble abode, I refuse to play the part of the host.” Mason and I managed to roll our eyes simultaneously at Amber. We both knew that no matter what she said, she would find a way to play host and run the show without our approval. She had trait where she would always take charge of the situation.
Amber turned and left without another word and headed back downstairs to not play host.
“See what you did Mason. You got us scolded by Amber.” I said in mock anger.
“You always blame me for things woman! It is not always my fault!” He yelled at me, but he could not stop the smile on his lips to let me know that he was just playing around.
“Get your sexy ass downstairs and play host until I am presentable.” I turned around heading towards the closet thinking he was going to exit the room, but instead he wraps his arms around my stomach from behind me and whispers into my ear, “baby you are always presentable in my eyes.”
I could not hold back my laughter at his corny remark. “Mason since when have you been so corny?” I said to him in between my laughs. “Only with you babe. Only with you.” And with that final statement he finally left the room so I could get dressed.
I entered the closet and pulled out the dress Amber bought me for this very occasion. A sleeveless white dress with a sort of razor back that fell to my knees that was plain, but pretty at the same time. It fit around my belly perfectly and it also fit around my breast and hips. It was the perfect size dress. Hell I was surprised that she could even find a dress to fit my huge stomach.
I put on some simple black flats and ran a brush through my hair and headed downstairs. All of my guests were supposed to dress in blue or pink depending on what they think I will be having. It is a gender-reveal party and I couldn’t be more excited. Only Amber knows the sex of the babies.
I make my way downstairs and there is pink and blue everywhere. My guest are mainly wearing blue because they believe that the Alpha will have a son as his first born and his heir to the Alpha title. There are a lot of things that were not here when I helped decorate.
Amber had set up blue and pink punch, cookies with blue and pink frosting, blue and pink balloons were everywhere. On the floor, hanging from the ceiling, and tied down to furniture. There was a huge picture of Mason and I that was taken a while ago set up by the front door. Our living room was filled with some of the maternity pictures I had taken a week back.
Sitting in the middle of the dining room table, which had been cleared for finger foods, was a giant cake that read “Congratulations Mason and Paige.” Simple and it cut right to the chase.
Mason met me at the bottom of the stairs and I was immediately pulled into awkward hugs by some pack members and some of the family. All throughout the night I kept hearing congrats on the wedding and on the twins. It was exhausting.
Amber had organized everything. She had the guest playing baby shower games along with bridal shower games. I don’t know how she did it all but I owe her one. She is the best friend a girl could ask for and I don’t know how I can repay her for this.
About an hour into the party Amber says it is time to cut the cake and reveal the gender of our babies. The center of the cake will either be pink or blue indicating the sex. Mason pulls me into his arms and we grab the cake knife together and as we are cutting the first piece everyone fell into silence.
We slide the first piece out and it is a double colored inside of pink and blue indicating that we were having a boy and a girl. I could not stop the tears from leaving my eyes.
I turned around to my family and friends. “I could not decide on which gender I would prefer. I knew Mason wanted a boy to take his position one day, but I also knew he wanted a little girl to wrap him around her pinky finger. To be able to have both is a blessing and I cannot wait for them to get here and to watch them grow. I love my fiance and I don’t think I could repay him for giving me the perfect life that most can only dream about.
I would also like to give a special thanks to Amber because without her this party would have consisted of people and that’s about it.” Some chuckled at my honest statement. “ I would have never known where to start when planning something like it. To be honest, if it were left in my hands, this party would have never been thought of. I would also like to thank everyone for coming out and sharing this special moment with Mason and I. we are about to embark on a new journey and we are beyond blessed to have all of you around who truly care about us.
We love you guys more than anything and we are grateful for you guys everyday. So once again thank you all for the gifts. We really appreciate everything you do.”
Everyone clapped at my mini speech and Mason kissed my temple and whispered that he loved me into my ear. I don’t know how this night could get any better. I send Amber a smile across the room and she returns it. I lean into Mason’s arm and just soak in the moment until I fell my panties being soaked.
I know I just did not pee on myself in front of all these people. I meet Amber’s eyes again and they are bigger than I had ever seen.
“Mason,” I whisper. I am surprised he heard me at all. “Yeah babe?” he looks down at me with no clue at all that my water just broke.
“Mason. My water just broke.” He grin was quickly wiped off his face and he went pale. His eyes glazed over and it seemed like he was looking through me rather than at me. “Mason!” I had to hit him on the chest before he finally snapped out of his trance.
“My babies are coming?” he breathed out and if I wasn’t inched from him then I would have never heard him.
“yes baby. Take me to the doctor.” It took him all of two seconds to process what I had just told him. He nodded his head while still looking as if he had seen a ghost and pulled me towards the door. I resisted his pull once we got to the door.
“Sorry guys. It seems as if my kids are eager to meet you all. I am going into labor. Mom, dad and Mom and dad” I said referring to my parents and Mason’s parents. “Let’s go. Amber, you too.” And with that we all hopped into our SUV and headed so I could give birth to my son and daughter.
The next time I stepped into my house I would be brining my wonderful little angels with me.
