Myla's POVThe next morning, I awoke to my phone ringing. As I picked it up, I saw Doc’s name. I tapped answer. “Doc, how is she doing?”“Hello Alpha, she just woke up. She is very confused but, at least she is awake.”“Thank the Goddess! I am on my way.”“See you soon, Alpha.”I hung up the phone. I got up and threw on my clothes. I wanted to talk to her before /I had to show the newest members of the pack the town. Walking around to Reiner, I gently shook him. “Reiner, Reiner, wake up.” He opened his eyes.“Myla? Is everything alright?” he asked propping himself up on his elbows.“Yes, everything is fine. Can you listen for Evie? Her Mom woke up and I want to go talk to her.”“Of course, my love,” he told me to be careful, before kissing me goodbye.“Oh, I am going to squeeze my run in before we show everyone the town.”“Ok but please be careful.”“I will, I promise.” I gave him another kiss before heading off to the pack hospital.As I walked in, the scent of antiseptic cleaner bro
Myla's POV After I left the hospital, I went for my run and then headed back home to change. As I opened the door, Evie came running, jumping into my arms. “Did you see my Mommy? How is she? Can we go see her? Uncle Reiner said you made her a member of the pack. Did you really? Does that mean I can link her now? When are we going to show the town to everyone?” I chuckled as I walked in shutting the door behind me. Reiner was watching us, a knowing smile spread across his face. “Your turn to play 20 million questions,” he chuckled making a face at me. I sat down on the couch, placing Evie on my lap. “Well, I did see your mom. She is getting better but still needs some time. I did let her join the pack. When she is all better, you will be able to link her. We are going to show everyone the town right after I shower and change.” Evie stared at me as though I had just done something amazing. “You better go change Auntie Myla; we need to go. Uncle Reiner said they are curious to see i
Reiner’s POV We said goodnight to everyone as we headed to our suite. Evie bounced along holding my hand and telling me everything about her room and the house she will share with her mom. We trudged up the stairs, to our suite. Once inside, I brought Myla to our bed. I could tell she was exhausted. "You don't have to worry, I am just tired," she said. Myla hated when I worried but it's my job as her mate. She had been depending on herself for so long, that it was hard for her to have someone to lean on and help with things. I wanted to know what was going on inside that beautiful head of hers. I know she has been through a lot. Stretching, I stood up to go check on Evie. I heard Myla whimpering in her sleep, I turned back to her. She must be having a nightmare; I sat down and rubbed her back. She had tears streaming down her face. “No, please, don’t hurt them,” she was still crying in her sleep. “Please, don’t!” Who is she talking about? Her parents maybe? Then it hit me, did
Reiner's povListening to Barrett gave me an understanding of why Myla was so strong and so independent. She hadn't been given a choice."Barrett, I would love to meet your father some time.""I wish I could let you, but he died a few years ago," Barrett explained."I'm sorry for your loss, you must have been devastated." How much loss had they dealt with?"Yes, I was devastated, but Myla was lost." Barrett looked down sadly. "She made us all do laps from sun up to sun down until I finally told her everyone was going to run away if she didn’t give them a break. She finally did but, she didn’t give herself one. I would wake up and she would be out there running, I would go to bed, same thing. This went on for a few days before I finally made her talk. I felt horrible but, she needed to talk to someone. It was the biggest fight we had ever had. I literally had to pin her down while she fought me until she broke from exhaustion. She screamed at nothing one last time then the tears just b
Myla’s POV I didn’t know that was possible to do; Reiner was the only lover I had ever had, he could easily bring me to orgasm. I wasn’t naive enough to think I was the only one he had been with but, he knew how to pleasure a woman. I had orgasms before but the ones he could bring out of me; I felt like my legs turned to jelly after. I realized we had yet to use protection but, I knew I hadn’t gone into heat yet. I lay there listening to his breathing. I should go for my run but, I wanted to just stay here with him. I hadn’t taken a break from running since that terrible day; I had been found in the gully. I knew I should have told him about all of this, but I knew he knew some of it thanks to Barrett. They thought I didn’t know. I didn’t mind, it saved me from having to relive it. I hated talking about what happened. Everyone always wanted to know what they did to me. No. That is my secret to keep. Maybe someday I will tell Reiner, but I am still not ready to talk about i
Myla's POVDoc handed me one of those pink bins all hospitals have. “Thank you,” I mumbled as I was sick again.“I thought it was morning sickness, but it is not morning,” Reiner said worriedly.“Some women get all-day sickness. There is no way to know who will and who won’t. Myla may have it this time but, if she has another baby, she may not get sick at all.”Doc sat down on his stool. “Myla, you have yet to say anything,” he looked at me knowing I was in shock. “Doc, how can I be pregnant? I haven’t even gone into heat.” I knew I hadn’t gone into heat, I would have felt that. “Well, if you were starting to go into heat but, you had sex as it was beginning, you wouldn’t necessarily realize you had gone into heat. Females usually go into heat a week or two after being marked and mated. Females who have Alphas as mates, tend to go into heat anywhere from three or four days to a week after being marked. The fact you both are Alphas; means you could have gone into heat th
“You can run, but you need to run slowly, and limit yourself to ten laps. Your body is supporting another life, you need to remember that.” Doc was giving me the same stern look he had given me that night all those years ago. “I am keeping you here overnight to give you more fluids and to keep an eye on you.”“Doc, what about my trip?” I was hoping I could still go. If not, I will have a hell of a time trying to convince Reiner to go without me.“You should be fine to go. I have given your mate a list of things you should do, and things you should avoid. Stick to it and you will feel better.” Doc stood up to leave.“Hey, Doc, how long will the all-day sickness last?” Reiner’s worry came through our bond. “It’s hard to say. A lot of times it goes away during the second trimester, but other times, it has lasted through entire pregnancies. Keep an eye on her.” He turned walking out the door.“You should go home and get some rest.” I felt bad I had caused this by being stubbor
Reiner's POVI could tell she was getting annoyed. Myla was not one to be fawned over. I opened the door to our suite; Wade and Sam were seated on the couch. Wade and Sam are the captains of the warriors. Myla will not be happy, but I am ordering them to be her guards at all times. I have to keep her and our baby safe. She looked at Wade and Sam, then back at me. I watched her drop into her recliner; everyone was chatting happily. I walked behind her and began rubbing her shoulders. I could feel her start to relax. She started dozing off. I knew she had to be tired. The night spent in the hospital had not been restful. Between the nurses coming in at all hours to check her vitals, and the nonstop beeping from the monitor, I think I may have slept an hour. She had slept more than I had but, I know it was not restful for her. As she began snoring quietly, everyone began to leave. I said goodbye to Barrett and Jade. Jade made me promise to call if I had any questions. Barrett
