Josh povI paced as Claire slept and the only fucking thing I wanted was her awake. "baby, I covered her little body, please wake soon",I kissed her head."she will wake Josh, my dad pats my back, she just had a lot of power leave to fight and heal. Be patient son",he left and I paced more. Harvey was checking on his dad and looked sad as he looked in on his sister."she finally got her wolf to come out",he stated as he watched her sleep. I nodded staring at her while I paced wanting her awake."I just want her awake, I fisted my hair, I need to see her awake and okay",he sighed. Today was clean up the rogues left messes and destruction everywhere. We had many pack members injured but alive."is council coming today?",he looks up from his cell phone."yes your mother and sister will be on trial then most likely executed for their crimes",he nodded."good both really fucked up and deserve what they get",he texted his dad."dad would like to come see her",he looked up at me and I sighed
Josh povShit went sideways fucking fast as both girls walked out without a fight. Lucas getting rejected was shocking but poor Gemma had her reasons.Our dads looked heartbroken it came to this and I feel like shit. I trust my mate."she didn't mean it Lucas, his dad said sadly, plus she didn't use your full name so it won't stick",he looked hurt."we didn't mate at all so she has every right to reject me. I never knew she overheard me talking shit with the warriors. I fucked up with her dad fixing it may be impossible ",fuck I know I'm going to have a fight trying to win Claire back. You fucking hurt mate Scar growled at me.We sat to watch the cameras in the cells and Lucas sucked in a shaky breath. Them talking hurt more."I say we leave as soon as possible Claire",my mate nods as she hugs Gemma tight."may be for the best",her voice is tight. I know she wants to cry but she bites her lip hard."they are all stupid, Gemma sighs, I'm sorry Claire but I'm done I don't want this anymo
Josh povWe both stiffened as doc walks up his face blank and I feel Lucas brace himself. "it was her appendix and we got it on time",his relieved breath of air made me relax."is she really okay?",Lucas looked ready to cry."yes Lucas she is really okay. Is Claire okay?",I nodded holding her close. "yes just tired from all the excitement",he nodded and smiled."Gemma will be put in recovery and after to her room. Do you want her in with Claire?",I sighed."yes both need each other right now",be nodded and left. My dad came by as we moved to Claire's room to wait on Gemma. Lucas sat by the bed looking tired but he stayed quiet. Gemma was brought in a few hours later and he stood while they switched her to the bed in the room. Lucas covered her and listened as they said she will be hurting when she wakes."she will be okay bro just relax",he nodded and sat waiting for his mate to wake. I watched Claire shift and I covered her more before sitting beside her. "so a pup",Lucas says loo
Josh povWhat came out of Lucas in the bathroom it was black and looked like thick smoke. Claire healed him again as he coughed up blood and couldn't breathe. Gemma is trying to sit up but gets yelled at by everyone."stay still now!!",we are all fucking freaked out by what just happened. "Lucas are you okay?",his dad asks moving closer to him."yeah I don't know what happened I just couldn't breathe and I kept coughing up blood it was weird I felt I had no control ",he looked at Claire sadly. "why is blood on your chin Lucas?",Gemma asked looking worried. "I was coughing up blood, he didn't look at her, Claire healed me",he sighed."son go clean up I have mom bringing you clothes",he looked torn between staying with us and going to shower. "go bro you look awful",he nodded and walked out slowly. I could tell by his behavior he was sad and probably going to cry in there."what the hell floated out his mouth, his dad looked freaked, it was thick and black like smoke. He couldn't bre
Josh povClaire slept for almost two full days before she woke and I was about losing it by then. I was pushing food and drinks worried for both her and our pup. She looked for Lucas and him rushing in made her sigh in relief. "your okay?",she burst into tears as he rushed the bed to hug her. "yes I'm okay thanks to you Claire, he hugged her, please stop crying ",he patted her back. She sniffles. "I was so scared I couldn't heal you fast enough and you kept choking on blood",she sobbed. He cringed."well thanks to you I'm here and I'm fully healed. We are trying to figure out if I was poisoned again",he patted her back. She hugged him tight when both jerked back."he kicked",both said amazed. Her belly was still flat but our pup kicked."can I?",Lucas looked at us both embarrassment on his face."of course",Claire and I chime in smiling at him. His hand covers her belly and tears fill his eyes. He sniffles and I hug him tight. He like me loves pups and wants a lot of them. Yes we ar
Claire povI ask for Gemma to come and by that night she does but she looks worse than before. Her body looks malnourished and she looks to be seconds away from hitting the floor."you called",she looked dead inside. She looked off which alarmed me to the core."yes we need to talk",I watched her sit and wait."yes I ate and no I didn't do anything stupid ",she mumbled."did you eat enough?",she looked away. She isn't eating Mia muttered staring at her. Look at how tiny she is now."I'm fine Claire worry for your own health I got myself. Is that all?",she is totally withdrawing from me now."no that isn't all Gem, I growl, you aren't eating, your not sleeping and I bet you run to cry in the shower everyday",she looks at me and the sadness is overwhelming to see."it is the only time I can get out my pain Claire, she looks down at the floor, I'm not strong like you my wolf won't come out it is like she refuses to and I'm stuck feeling like shit",her eyes fill with tears. "is Lucas stil
Josh povIt is early the next day and we are preparing to go meet Gemma's parents. From what Lucas linked me late last night he mated Gemma and they talked but he said she is still acting sad and unsure of them. He didn't go into detail but he said it was incredible. "hungry love?",I look at Claire as she brushes her hair."no not really",she yawns and I smirk. Last night I took her to exhaustion when she woke up later that is. I made her cum numerous times before we went to sleep. Now we are up and getting ready because in a few hours we get see the Lake rogue pack and go from there. I can imagine Gemma is freaking out and probably crying or she went quiet like she has been."everything will work out little one we will keep you and Gemma safe",she nodded and I hoped we could. Gemma's mom got poison into Gemma and the nurses swear it wasn't them. I still didn't believe them but we didn't have much to go on. My mom brings food again but Claire pushes it around and looks deep in thought
Josh povGemma's parents step inside sinister smiles on their faces and I growl."finally the great Joshua Fury",they both say as rogues enter Claire's room. I watch them and link my dad that they broke into Claire's room. He said they are right outside and to keep Claire safe. "what the fuck do you want!?",I growl loud."we want our daughter, the mom smirks, she needs to come to us so we can talk",both lean against the wall and my dad rushes in with warriors and the room fills up fast. Fighting is all over the pack because these fuckers wanted us distracted it didn't work."I'm here, Gemma walks in and her mom perks up, what do you want?",she looks awful and Scar starts saying he is worried for her."so you lived",her mother looks excited."yes I did. Now tell me what you both want",she looks tired."we want you dead Gem, her mom looks happy, the poison should of killed you",Gemma sighs sadly."you know all I ever wanted was love from my parents, love from my pack and love from my m
