Unexpected Mate

Chapter 17

POV: Elijah

Rogues have been scouting outside my pack boarders all day today. I have a bad feeling about this. Some have crossed over into my land demanding the locket. Lacey's locket. These rogues are from Marcus. Lacey has her prom tonight so I sent her with a few warriors with her to ensure her safety while I deal with this.

We captured one of the rogues and got information out of him that Marcus attacks tonight but not only does he want the locket he wants to take the entire pack out since we may know what he's up to before we report him to the council. To bad I already did. I've now sent word to the werewolf council that Marcus is going to attack my pack and his reasonings.

Lacey should be fine. She has the warriors , Devon and Alana with her. Alana especially. Shes a zeta an elite. She's luck to have her as a friend. Zetas are the warriors I send to the front line. Not to mention Devon is a Gamma and one of the Gammas jobs is to protect the Luna. Devon may not be official Gamma but he is still a Gamma nonetheless so he will follow his nature and protect Lacey as well.

They just left for the school with the warriors following them. I have Lacey's locket with me. Of course it no longer has the SD card in it but it anymore. My warriors are now at the ready for this attack. The sun isn't down yet. Marcus won't attack until night falls.

Those who can't fight are in the safe house hiding until I give the all clear to come out.

POV: Lacey

We've been here at school for the past few hours. People are mingling and dancing. I'm just sitting watching everyone. Pheobe and Alana got me to dance with them a few times but then a slow song came on so Alana and Devon danced together to that one. I just can't shake this feeling I have. I have this bad feeling like something bad is going to happen here. The warriors are standing at the gym exits keeping watch.

I have a headache from the music. I know I'm doing nothing but complaining but this feeling is putting a real damper on my mood. I decide to go to the bathroom to splash some water on my face to see if that will help to energize my mood. I let the warriors know where I'm going. The stay put at the gym exits.

I walk in the restroom going to the sink. I cup some water in my hands splashing it on my face. I suddenly feel a presence behind me. I look up in the mirror to see who it is. Its a man looking at me with an evil look. "Where is the locket?" He asks. "Who are you?" I ask not giving him what he wants. "You know who I am now tell me where is the locket?" He demands. This is Marcus. I link the warriors along with Devon and Alana that I'm in trouble and need help. Suddenly Marcus grabs me and slaps me across my face. "Give me the locket and it will be an easy swift death continue to disobey and it will be a long torturous death." He threatens.

"I don't have it. Stop your hurting me." I say as his grip gets tighter. I try to fight against him to get away but his grip just tightens. He pulls out an syringe with some kind of golden liquid. It smells like Wolfs bane. "No... no.." I'm not worried about me. Its my baby if he injects me with that he could kill it. "Please no." He doesn't care of my pleas and injects me. Its not enough to knock me out just enough to render me from fighting or shifting. I can't mind link any more. He drags me out the bathroom and I see the warriors and my friends running to me but rogues stop them and attack.

He drags me all the way back to the pack where it is a complete war zone. Marcus roars stopping the fighting. "Lacey!" Elijah yells seeing me. Him and dad both come towards me but are halted as Marcus takes a knife out and places it at my neck. "I wouldn't come any closer if I were you." He tells Elijah and dad warning them to stay back. They stop where they are. "Now give me the locket and all will stop." Marcus tells them. Elijah throws the locket at him causing him to let me go to catch the locket. I take that opportunity to run to Elijah and my dad. As I get close Elijah grabs me putting me behind him. Marcus growls. "Where is it? There is nothing here." Marcus demands. "Marcus slater you are under arrest By the law of the werewolf council. Surrender now." I hear someone say but I can't see because Elijah and dad are blocking me. I hear a struggle then a cracking sound. Elijah then growls and roars."every rogue on my land has fifteen minutes to be off my land or suffer the consequences." He say in his sexy alpha voice. I love his alpha voice its so deep and... I should stop. This is not the time for that. "Lacey are you ok?" Elijah turns looking over me. Thats when I remember. "He injected me with wolfs bane. I see the worry in dad. He knows what that could mean. Elijah doesn't know so he won't be as worried. For me I will be fine. It will wear off by tomorrow but for the baby its dangerous. There is a chance it will survive depending on how much it was. "Did he do anything else?" Elijah asks. "He slapped me and threatened to kill me but 8 don't care about any of that. Elijah I have to tell you something. Just before I left today I found out I was pregnant." I tell him. He blinks a few time. "I'm sorry what. Can you say that again." He says. "Elijah I'm not kidding. I'm pregnant and was injected with wolfs bane." I tell him with every ounce of emotion i have about this. He smiles but then it drops. "We need to get you checked out now." He says not even wasting time and picks me up taking me to the pack doctor.

Shelby runs a few test and does an ultrasound. I got to hear the baby's heart beat. Elijah did too and he had a tear slip out. I'm full on crying. "Everything looks fine but I'm going to give you this to counter act the wolfs bane in case." She giving me a shot of medicine. "Can she go home?" Elijah asks. "Yes she can. Just take it easy for the next few days. No strenuous activities." Shelby instructs.

Elijah and I walk home. Dad is at the pack house waiting for us. "How us she?" He asks. "I'm fine dad. I'm right here and the baby is fine to." I say. He rolls his eyes. I here someone scream in excitement. "Omg your pregnant. Ahh." Alana jumps up and down happy and hugging me. "Devon come get her!" I yell out to him. "Ugh. Alana chill. Get off of her." Devon says pulling her away from me. "Devon let go of me right now. Brandon tell your son to let go" Alana says trying to get loose. Brandon just laughs. "Sorry Alana no can do." Brandon says. "You suck. You are the worst father in law." Alana complains. "Oh Alana stop being so dramatic. Your fine now cool it. It just didn't want you all up on me. Jeez." I tell her. Alana crosses her arms and pouts.

"Lets get you to bed. Brandon, Dylan rogues out in ten minutes then or they pay the consequences. Jack you talk to the council and I will be there in a minute." Elijah orders. He take me to our room. "So your happy about the baby?" I ask. I need to know if he wants this. "Yes baby of course. I'm over the moon. I love you and our child." He kisses me with all his love. He unzips my dress slipping it off and taking the shirt I had on earlier and slipping it on me. "Now lay down and get some sleep. I will be back as soon as I can." He says laying me down on the bed covering me up. I love him so much.
