Alpha’s Pregnant Luna - Chapter 22: Chapter 22

Paula
I felt really chocked up inside the hospital room so I decided to take a stroll outside and breathe in some fresh air. A lot of thoughts had been running through my mind and I needed a breathing space to be able to ponder on them further without having a panic attack.
‘What if I wasn’t Frankie’s mate and I had to go back to Xayden? Would he kill me after I give birth to his child?’ I ponder but I immediately almost laugh at that.
I already knew what that was going to be exactly what he would do. Just thinking of having to go back to that psychopath was blood curdling.
I was also scared if I’m being honest with myself as there were a lot of uncertainties. What if Frankie was my mate? What if after getting mated to Frankie, he treats me right but my baby is treated badly? He has always hated his brother so I wouldn’t put it past him to hate my baby also. I didn’t want to give my baby up, it might be Xayden’s child but it’s a part of me too and I wouldn’t want my child going through even an ounce of what I went through.
I stopped and looked around my surroundings only to find that I was in a forest. I take in my surroundings and my heartbeat accelerates when nothing looked familiar. I couldn’t believe how stupid I was to have not noticed where I was going. I knew everywhere was unsafe for me yet I decided to take the walk anyways. Xayden was always right then, I was bound to be stupid and that was why he would always treat me how stupid people were being treated. It was then I realized that in my state of mental unrest, I didn’t inform anyone I was going out and I just slipped out undetected.
“Oh No,” I muttered as I glanced around frantically before I started moving in the direction I came in.
I still didn’t know how the hell I walked so far from the hospital, and why I didn’t feel tired even. I groaned when my stomach made a grumbling sound, I didn’t know long I would be able hold out.
I saw a clearing and smiled broadly, this was it, I’m back, I sighed thankfully.
‘The back of the hospital finally’ I thought as I hastened my steps.
I was almost there when I heard a rustle from behind me, and before I could turn to check the source of the sound, everything went BLACK.
Frankie
I was almost losing my mind looking for Paula everywhere but when I saw the CCTV camera, I realized that she had gone out on her own. I couldn’t believe she would leave the hospital without informing anyone or taking someone with her. Now it had been almost two hours since she went for her supposed walk and I was furious as hell
How would a VIP patient take a walk without any guards or any escort and this people wouldn’t question her? How could she escape the eyes of all the people I got to watch over her?
My wolf was currently fighting to break out to go and look for his mate. I tried to calm him down, saying we had to think straight, any rash action might endanger her.
“It was that stupid Xayden, I’m going to tear him limb by limb,” Black snarled hungry for blood.
I hate to imagine Xayden had my mate but I knew what kind of person he was, he wouldn’t stop until he ruined every single thing that belonged to me.
I stopped walking along with the clearing what black said fully registered, he was right.
Xayden! Why didn’t I think of that? His threat, he was in the middle of every fucking thing and I’m going to make him regret messing with my mate.
I took my car keys, thankfully it wasn’t part of the mess I made when I first found out Paula wasn’t in the hospital. I’d trashed my room and office, a decision I now almost regretted but I didn’t wait to ponder on that.
I just wanted my mate back.
I drove like a mad man to Xayden’s house and found him in his office with his beta, I didn’t let him recover from the shock of seeing me in his office when I connected my fist with his face. I wanted to do something worse to him, this bastard had always underestimated me and I would teach him a grave lesson for messing with me, to begin with. I needed to lay down some respect now and I won’t stop until I get what I want.
Not expecting that he stumbled to the ground with a now bloody nose, his beta tried get in between us but with two punches he was out cold on the floor. I was too furious and before Xayden could recover from reeling on the floor, I grabbed his collar and I delivered fast blows in quick succession to his face as he moved back. No one has ever seen me this angry before and I wasn’t regretting it one bit. I snarled at the weakling he had for an alpha and went back to trashing him.
“Where is she?!”I growled my fist connecting with his jaw.
I heard a crunching sound but it didn’t faze me as I wouldn’t be satisfied until I’m sure he wouldn’t be able to move. I needed to send a signal to his stupid brain as a reminder that I was not someone he should ever mess with in his life.
“Where the fuck is my mate?!” I yell in his face and I noticed the way confusion marred his bloody face. The bastard was feigning ignorance and I wasn’t having any of that, I would deal with him properly. Getting over his initial shock, he blocked the punch I tried to deliver to his abdomen and pushed me off him.
“What the fuck does that mean?” He yelled back.
He put his hand to his bloody nose and growled. He was angry and I loved that, we would take each other down like men. Maybe it was time to end this stupid disrespect of him thinking he could come anywhere close to me. I was older by a few years and I’ve trained with the largest army of the werewolf realm.
“You’re fucking crazy, you know, that right?” he said while spitting out blood.
I tried to send him another blow but he was quick to dodge, he knew he didn’t measure up to me in hand combat and even as an alpha he was still weaker.
We stayed like that for a while, glaring at each other and breathing heavily, he had held his jaw, good, I hope it doesn’t go back to normal.
“My mate better be back in my pack before I get there, if not, the only part of you that they will be able to identify is your stupid head, as I am going to cut it off you mangled body in one piece” I said before immediately walking out after that.
I got into my car and immediately sped off.
My trip was spent mostly hitting the steering wheel, clenching my fist till they turned white or cursing, and still nothing made me feel less on edge. I’ve mind-linked Hawke about a thousand times now asking if they’ve found anything, the more he tells me nothing new the angrier I get.
When I got back to pack house, I went directly to the throne room, my father had mind-linked me and said council of elders wanted to have a meeting.
That was the last thing on my mind and I would rather be out there trying to find who the fuck had dared to take my mate away from me.
I walked into the room and ignored them as they bowed as I sure wasn’t in the mood for this.
“Speak,” I commanded coldly looking at all of them like they were dirt on my feet.
“Your grace, it has been decided,” He said before pausing.
I raised an eyebrow as a motion for him to continue but when he wanted to, he was immediately interrupted.
Xayden had chosen that time to barge into the room and it took a whole lot of willpower to not get up and finish what I started earlier. My wolf kept pacing in my head and that also has me on edge and frustrated.
“I don’t have all day.” I barked seeing they were all taking their time to do heaven knows what.
“The council of elders has decided that whoever finds Paula first claims her as his mate.” One of the scrawny old men finally mustered enough courage to speak. I don’t blame him though as I would be scared too if I had to tell me that shit.
I let out a humorless laugh.
“How convenient for the person who kidnapped her in the first place” I said while staring pointedly at Xayden. He even had the guts to widen his eyes with a confused expression on his face.
I stepped down from my throne and made my way over to him, before I could do what I had planned, I heard my father’s voice through our mind link.
‘Mind yourself Frankie.’ I sent him a glare but stopped nevertheless.
“Paula is missing and you think I took her? Was that why you beat me up the other time? Dammit” Xayden growled.
I examined his features and found that he looked a little bit better than when I left him. The bastard sure has some strong werewolf genes.
“The council’s decision is final.” They all said and I felt fury envelope me.
My wolf growled, ready to do anything to find his mate.
‘Let’s go get our mate’ he snarled.
Yes, let’s get our mate. Whoever took her won’t know what fucking hit them. They made the biggest mistake of their life thinking they couldn’t mess with my mate and I will make them regret it. That is a promise!
