The Alpha's Revenge

Chapter 28

Blake’s POV

My father gave me the task of getting Lucia back. I can’t believe she is pregnant. I don’t care what my father says, that is my baby. I have always wanted to find my mate and have a family. I still plan to sleep around, but I need my mate to have an heir. I had to gather enough rogues to make this work and my father, though he gave me the task, is still looking over my shoulder, always asking me what I’m doing and what the status of things are. Why give me the task if you don’t trust me to do it? Other Alpha’s are giving their pack to their sons at 18. So, why hasn't my dad passed down Dark Hollow? My father says I need more training, but he doesn’t really train me. He only tells me what he wants me to know about the pack and the trafficking business. I don’t care about training; I know how to be an Alpha. I may take Lucia as my mate, and then he really can’t deny me my position because I will be of age, have a mate and an heir. If he doesn’t give it to me soon, I will challenge him and I know I will win. My father is weak and since becoming Alpha he hasn’t trained.

I sent a total of 25 men, twenty rogues, 4 warriors and 1 to report back to me. I know it’s only for one woman, but they are going up against Crystal Lake, so I know it won’t be easy. I was told by the omega spy that they were going shopping in the nearby town. If they are able to get them while they are out, then the 25 people I sent should be enough. I am sitting and waiting for an update now. I can’t wait to have her here. The baby should be born in the next month or so. I can’t wait until my baby boy is here

“What if it’s a girl?” Noose my wolf asks

“It won’t be a girl; my sperm only makes boys” I reply

“It could be your dad’s baby too” he comments

“What is with you, don’t you want an heir? Why are you bringing up these things?” I ask

“The fact that you and your dad are excited about a baby that is being carried by a girl you raped. The fact that you think it will be easy to get her back. You are both stupid” he says

“Don’t call me stupid. You barely talk to me and then this is what you have to say, you call me stupid”

“Yup, because you are. I don’t agree with anything you have done since you hurt Annalisa” he growls and blocks me out

I know my wolf does not agree with most of the things I do. He won’t talk to me but to scold and berate me. He refuses to shift unless it’s a life-or-death situation. Do you know how it is to be at odds with the other part of yourself? The person he wants me to be is not who I was raised to be. I have to be who my father wants. There are no other options. When I say this, he says a real man stands up for what is right and protects others. Stupid is the calmer of the insults he has thrown at me, but when he calls me weak or a boy and not a man, it really bothers me. He says the Goddess has a plan for me and I won’t like it. I tell him the Goddess does not care about what I am doing. He says she cares more than I will ever know. It's almost 5pm when I finally get a call from my look-out person

“They failed, Alpha”

“What do you mean? What happened?” I ask

“They attempted to take the woman as they were on their way back to the pack. They must have gotten word to Alpha Derrick because wolves came out of the woods taking down your rogues with ease. They then drove the car into the pack. Most of the men are dead, but they did get about five who I believe were taken to the cells”

“FFFUUUCCKK”

“Also, when Jake requested the girl, and they asked why, he said ‘She is carrying precious cargo and our Alpha wants his baby’ so they probably know it was you or your father that sent them”

“GREAT!!! f*****g WONDERFUL!!” I say and hang up

What do I do now? I spent all the money he gave me on this project. I have no Lucia, no baby and now Crystal Lake is aware we know about her. I start throwing stuff and tearing up my room. Now to tell my father I’m a failure

Anna’s POV

This s**t hurts. Why do people want to have babies so badly, when this is what they have to go through? When my water broke, and we got to the hospital, the pain started. They changed me into a gown and hooked me up to the monitors that checked my contractions and the baby’s heart rate. Dr Robert said I was 4cm dilated, and I needed to get to 10cm. And according to the monitor, my contractions were only 12 minutes apart. Well, that was five hours ago. The pain is worse, and the contractions are coming more often. They offered me pain medicine, but I don’t want to take anything that will affect the baby. I have been walking and squatting a lot. Hot showers are also helpful. Tara and Aunt Opal are right here with me. Tara is right by my side; she said she has to be part of the experience somehow. She is wonderful, her aura is calming.

“Tara, I need to go to the bathroom” I say trying to get out of bed

“You just peed with the last contraction. That was three minutes ago”

“No, I gotta poop. It’s coming. I gotta get to the toilet”

“Anna, that’s probably the baby. Let me call Robert”

“No, I don’t want him here while I’m pooping, that’s nasty. I just need to go to the bathroom” I say upset

“Let him check you first” she says

“No. I’m going to the bathroom” I say ripping the monitors off my stomach

She tries to fight me to sit back down, but I refuse. I insisted I need to poop and then everything will be fine. I stand up just as Dr Robert came into the room. I look at him

“HE’S COMING” I yell

Tara lifts my gown, and you can see the baby’s head. Dr Robert gets gloves on. Tara tries to get me back in the bed, but I won’t move. The urge to push is too great. I stand at the side of the bed, squat and push. Dr Robert kneels in front of me and gets the baby out. I feel relief once that pressure is gone, then I hear the baby cry and another sense of relief hits me. He’s okay. Tara and Dr Robert’s baby is okay. He cuts the cord and gives Tara the baby. She takes it over to the warmer and checks it over. Aunt Opal helps me back to bed and Dr Robert delivers the placenta; I have no tears so no stitches. Aunt Opal helps me to the bathroom to help me clean up, and the nurses get the bed cleaned up. Tara has a room next door for herself and the baby. After I’m cleaned up, I eat and take a nap. That was so hard.

After I wake up I go see Tara and Lawrence. She just finished feeding him and now she has him skin to skin. He is so cute. He has Blake’s grey eyes but all his other features are from the Royal family line. He has big chubby cheeks and a button nose

“How much did he weight?” I ask

“He was 10 pounds and 3 ounces, 23 inches long”

“Well, he didn’t get his height from me. And that blond hair is from Blake too. That’s all I see that he got from that monster. Luckily you and Dr Robert are both blond” I comment

“Thank you, Anna. I can’t express in words how grateful I am to you right now. You gave me something I thought would never be possible. I would like to use your dad’s name as his middle name” Tara says

“Lawrence David Price. I love it. Seeing you with him and I know I made the right decision” I say

We hang out and talk for a while longer. I start getting tired and go back to my room. I take a nap and wake up to Thane and Tessa eating dinner in my room

“You better have some for me” I say groggily.

“Of course, we don’t just eat dinner in random patient rooms” Thane says pointing to my plate

“How do you feel Annalisa?” Tara asks

“Sore but good. I saw Tara and the baby earlier, and I am comfortable with my decision. Ruby and I spoke about it and we both agreed it was the right thing to do. I at first thought I would change my mind but that family deserves those two.”

“You did a wonderful thing for them. I know they are both grateful” Thane says

“Now what? No more baby. What’s your plan?” Tessa asks

“I have something to tell you guys, but we have to keep it among us three. I told them about my visit from The Moon Goddess while in a coma. About being chosen as her Guardian and what she wants me to do. How I think all of this aligns with what Uncle Derrick and Alpha Xander are doing, but I want to be the avenger on their political path. I need to train. I need to learn a lot in a short amount of time, because if I don’t, this will only get worse” I tell them

They looked at me in shock. No one says anything for a long time.

“That was not what I was expecting” Tessa says

“Are you ready for this?” Thane asks

“No, not now, but I have accepted this task, I have to get ready. I must take out Dark Hollow, but they are just one wheel of a big problematic truck. I need to crash this truck” I say

“Okay, we heal from this, then intense training. Alright, I’m on board. We will check with the Doctor and see how long your healing will take and when we can start” Thane says

“Thank you, guys. Oh, the prisoners, were they really sent by Dark Hollow?” I question

“We have not questioned them yet. Dad was more focused on you having the baby. Based on the fact they asked for Lucia directly and commented on the Alpha wanting his baby, we will say yes, it was Dark Hollow” Thane replies

“You know that means we have a mole in the pack, and/or the Elders told them we were here” Tessa says

“But I don’t think Dad told the Elders about her pregnancy. He was already having his doubts about them, so he had only been giving them some information” Thane say

“It’s probably someone nearby, who works in the packhouse. Someone who is privy to or overhearing sensitive information. Lucia hasn’t even joined the pack yet; most people do not know who she is yet. You think the office is bugged? Or are the Elders the snitch? Maybe a combination?” Tessa suggested.

“This supports my reason for taking out Dark Hollow and anyone else involved with them” I say

“I’ll talk to Dad in the morning. I guess we need to flush out a mole too” Thane says
