Austin POV Pregnant. Rebel’s pregnant. I’m going to be a dad. Dread comes over me when I realize she was fighting, while pregnant. A warrior gashed her back. That fucker Kaden was throwing her around the cave and was sitting on her stomach. FUCK! I run my hands through my hair and take a deep breath. I know everyone is looking at me, but I can’t get out of my head enough to look at them. She could have died and our pup along with her. The amount of guilt and anger building up in my chest is weighing on me heavy. Then I hear Renz, “Fuck, Austin. Can you dial it back? Your aura is affecting everyone here.” That snaps me out of my thoughts. “I… I’m sorry.” My mother holds my hand. “What’s on your mind, Austin?” “Any later and she could have died. Her and our pup, mom. I swear I didn’t know she was pregnant or I would never have let her fight.” I say. Reid interrupts my thoughts, “Austin, do you think I would have let her, if I had known? Rebel is strong. She is alive an
Austin POV It feels like hours trying to get Rebel down the pass. I’m being careful not to let her bump into anything and cause further injury to her. Ceraline is following closely and helping me bring her down when we get to more difficult parts of the pass. I know I banished her, and I am not sure why she is helping. I remember she said she wanted to make amends and redeem herself, but I don’t know if that is the truth or not. If Rebel were awake, she could tell me if Ceraline is telling the truth. All I can do right now, is trust that she isn’t trying to harm my mate. “Alpha,” She says quietly, “We are about ten minutes out. Perhaps you should link the warriors to come help.” “Yes, that’s a good idea. Thanks.” I say. “My mind is focused on Rebel right now and I didn’t realize we were close.” I mind link the warriors that Renz told me were waiting for us. I told them where we were and I continued down the path. “Ceraline,” I begin, “I want to thank you for your help. I wouldn’
Rebel POV ‘Austin, he’s here.’ I say through the mind link. ‘I saw him. Keep your mind link open, darling. I’m coming.’ He says. “I will never be your Luna, asshole.” I spat. “I’m going to enjoy making you mine, Rebel. You won’t feel the same way once I’m inside of you. You are going to become my Luna and you are going to give me my heir. Then you are going to have Alpha Reid hand over Rising Moon.” He tells me. “Bless your heart. I would say it’s a good thing you’re pretty, but you’re not, so you don’t even have that going for you.” I say mockingly, “First, you are disgusting. Not only are you incapable of sparking any arousal from me, but you think I will become your Luna. You think I am going to let you mark me, let alone rape me? You must be a comedian, because that’s hilarious. Oh, and by the way, I’m not baring any pup of yours, nor am I helping you take over my grandfather’s pack.” I finish. “Oh, you will. Because if you don’t, I will have Austin executed. See, he is
Austin POV I’m going crazy. I am looking for any trace of Rebel. That bitch Morgana will die. Reid is also going crazy. Everyone has been released from the safe rooms and when my mother and Adele found out that Rebel was taken by Morgana, they both became hysterical and started crying. Adele was blaming Reid, who was also blaming himself. “This is my fault. I should have killed that evil witch back all those years ago. Maybe this wouldn’t be happening now if I had finished her.” Renz, Jessup, Lacey and Jane all come running to where we are, trying to figure out a plan to find and rescue Rebel. “Do we have any leads?’ Renz asked. “Was anything left behind from where they vanished?” Jessup followed up? Lacey and Jane were trying to console Adele and my mother. “Reid, back when you knew Morgana, did you know of any hideout places she kept?” I asked. “No Austin. I’m trying to remember any detail from then, but nothing is ringing a bell.” Lacey speaks up, “Could she have t
Austin POV As soon as Rebel finished speaking, Alpha Kaden and I raised our hands at the same and yelled, “ATTACK!” Immediately, both sides clashed against each other. My target is Alpha Kaden. There is no way I’m letting him get to Rebel. I see her fighting two of the Blue Moon warriors. Rising Moon is battling Blue Moon warriors as well. I just finished ripping through two more warriors, advancing closer to that fucker Kaden. That’s when I hear howls coming from the Eastern and Western borders. Renz and Jessup both alert me that they have rogues. This fucker brought with rogues with him. Thank you, Moon Goddess, for telling me to reinforce those borders. I’m shredding through Blue Moon warriors and I don’t see Rebel. ‘Who has eyes on Luna?’ ‘I’m here Austin.’ I see her and continue fighting. ‘Stay close darling.’ I say as I slice through another warrior. We keep fighting and it seems like for every warrior we kill, two more appear. It’s never ending. Finally, I see Alpha K
Rebel POV I wake up from my nap feeling energized. ‘Roxie, how are you feeling?’ ‘I’m ready for everything Rebs.’ She responds. I sigh in relief. It was bothering me that we were not going to be at one hundred percent for the battle that Austin says is coming. I go to freshen up in the bathroom. I walk into the closet and grab clothes that will be easy to move in during a fight. As I’m getting my pants on, I sense Austin come in and hear him suck in a breath. I smile inwardly. Even during a time like this, I can sense he wants to take me right now. I turn around slowly as I continue putting on my pants and smile at my mate. “Enjoying yourself, my alpha?” I say flirtingly. I’m only wearing my pants but my breasts are on full display because I haven’t finished dressing. I see Austin’s eyes darken and lick his lips. Fuck he is sexy. Without missing a beat he crosses across the room in two strides and pushes me against the wall crashing his lips to mine. I feel his hands move
