19 Surprise
Eli POV
My heart is in my throat as I run with Clara in my arms. Silas is losing his mind. Once we reach the
pack hospital the doctor rushes over to us. I lay Clara on the gurney as he orders, but it kills me to let
her go. “Alpha, we will take care of the Luna”, he says, as he starts to push Clara away from me. I start
to follow and he turns allowing the nurses to take her through the double doors. “I know you want to
come with us but you need to remain here and let us help the Luna.” I want to tell him f**k no but she
needs him more than she needs me right now. He proceeds through the doors and I just stare at the
door, willing it to open. I need them to come back and tell me she is fine. Familiar arms wrap around
me and for a moment I’m a child again wrapped in my mother’s comforting embrace. She says nothing
but rubs circles on my back. I feel the first tear rush down my cheek. The doors fly open and my father,
followed by my sister, comes rushing inside. My mother leads me over to a chair and reluctantly I take
a seat.
For the first time, I think of something other than my agony. I look at my father “rogues.” “It’s being dealt
with, you focus on what’s happening here.” “Do you think that black magic had anything to do with
this?” The rock in my stomach gets bigger with the thought of a witch or warlock doing this to my mate.
“Lily and Pheobe are on their way. They will check her for any signs of black magic”, my mother says. I
am so grateful for my aunts at this moment. Goddess, I hope they can help my mate if someone tried to
use magic to hurt her. The door opens again and Cayden and Evelyn walk in. They both look defeated
and I stand pulling Evelyn into my arms. “She is strong.” I’m about to say more when the door opens
and the doctor walks toward us. We all rush toward him. “Alpha, I need you to come with me.” “Tell me
what’s going on with my daughter” an irate Evelyn yells at the doctor. “I assure you ma’am that Luna is
fine but I need to speak with the Alpha alone.
She seems to calm down from his words. “I will be back to tell you all what’s going on as soon as I
know.” I follow the doctor to the room and when he opens the door, Clara is sitting up smiling. I have no
time to be confused as I rush over and wrap her in my arms. “Goddess, Clara, you scared the hell out
of me.” I start to kiss her face before I finally pull back and look into her eyes. I hear someone clearing
their throat and I realize the doctor is still in the room with us. “Alpha the Luna asked that I be the one
to tell you why she passed out.” I look at Clara who is still smiling and then back at the doctor. I nod
and he hands me a paper. “The Luna is pregnant. Based on what she told me, I would say she is a
week along. We will do an ultrasound to confirm the gestation.” I can’t have heard him correctly. Did he
just say we are going to have a pup? I look back at Clara and tears are rolling down her cheeks. I hear
the door close and I know the doctor has left.
“We’re going to have a pup?” She nods her head and I pull her into my arms. I kiss her forehead and
just hold this woman who has given me everything. She is my mate, my Luna, and soon she will be the
mother of my pup. “I love you Clara. Thank you for giving me the gift of being a father.” “I’m the one that
should be grateful, Eli. You accepted and loved me when I thought I wasn’t worthy of either.” I let out a
small growl and she chuckles. She runs her hands through my hair before she presses her lips against
mine. The kiss is soft and I can feel all the love she has for me in this kiss. I can hear loud voices and I
laugh. “I think our family is going to start a riot if we don’t tell them what’s going on.” “Maybe you should
go get them. I’m excited about telling them our news” Clara says. I kiss her one more time before I
head for the door.
As soon as our family sees me, they stop talking. The doctor bows and goes back to the nurse’s
station. “What the hell is going on, Eli” Evelyn asks first. “Come with me”, I say and turn back toward
Clara’s room. Once we are inside, Evelyn rushes over, wrapping Clara in her arms. “Oh my goddess
you scared the hell out of me young lady.” I chuckle and she shoots me a glare. I go to stand next to
Clara and she takes my hand. “What is going on” Larisa asks with irritation in her voice. I look down at
Clara as I want her to tell our family. She smiles “we are going to have a pup.” Screams and hoots
erupt in the room. I’m pushed out of the way by my mother and Larisa. My father slaps me on the back
“get used to that son.” He pulls me into a hug “congratulations, I’m proud of you. You are going to be a
wonderful father.” “I had a great teacher.” Cayden hugs me. When he pulls back, I see a mix of
emotions in his eyes. I definitely see happiness, but I’m not sure what else he is feeling. He heads over
to Clara and my sister and mother finally come to hug me. “I’m going to be the best aunt,” Larisa says
as she hugs me. “I have no doubt.”
Clara POV
When Cayden comes to hug me I can tell that something is wrong. He wraps me in his arms and I feel
like he is hugging me, like he’s afraid I will disappear. I’m sure what happened scared him. I will talk to
him alone after everyone leaves. Cayden and I only had each other when we were in that hell and I
want him to be happy too. Everyone stays for a while till the doctor comes in to check on me. They all
kiss me before they get ready to leave. “Cayden, I have to have an ultrasound but I want to talk to you
before you head back to the pack house.” He nods and leaves the room. Eli looks at me. “I want to
make sure he is alright.” Eli nods and the doctor brings the machine to the side of my bed. He starts to
move the wand and the screen lights up. I have no idea what I’m looking at and the doctor starts to
speak. “Your pup is right there.” He points to something that looks like a bean on the screen. “Luna, are
you a pure wolf?” The doctor’s question takes me off guard and Eli growls.
“I mean no disrespect Alpha and Luna. I’m simply asking because the pup is big for only being just over
a week.” “My father was a warlock but I have no powers.” He smiles “despite not having powers your
genes are still that of a hybrid. The fact that you’re a hybrid and you mated with an Alpha wolf will make
your pregnancy much shorter.” I see concern on Eli’s face. “What does shorter mean?” “Your gestation
will be around three months and a half months but could be shorter.” Holy sh*t I could have a pup in
three months. “Everything about the pup is perfect. Congratulations on our new Alpha” he says and
bares his neck before he leaves. I’m still in shock, but I am so happy. Before I can say anything to Eli
he bends down, putting his face against my belly. “Hello in there. I am your dad. I can’t wait to meet
you.” I have never been more in love with this man than I am right now. He stands and kisses me. “I’ll
go get Cayden for you. I need to check on the rogue situation.” He heads out and a few minutes later
Cayden returns.
I pat the bed for him to sit down. He sits and smiles at me but it doesn’t reach his eyes. “Cayden,
what’s wrong and don’t you dare say nothing?” “I don’t want to ruin your happiness, Clara.” “You could
never ruin my happiness.” He seems deep in thought for a moment before he looks into my eyes. “If
you knew something may happen to me but you had no idea when, how, or where would you tell me?” I
smirk “that sounds like a very vague thing to tell someone. I told you before I’m happy right now,
Cayden, and that is what matters. None of us know what our future holds. Don’t keep holding onto this
burden. Whatever is meant to happen will happen.” He pulls me into a hug and begins to sob. After I
hold him for a few minutes, he sits back. “You are so strong and I love you so much Clara.” “My brother
made sure I was strong. Now let’s be happy. I’m going to have a pup, which means that you get to be
an uncle.” He smiles this time and it reaches his eyes. “You’re going to have to teach my pup magic if
he or she is blessed with that gift.” “I promise I will teach them once I learn how to use my own
powers.” We both laugh and he hugs me again.
Eli POV
I can’t believe the difference a few hours can make. I was so happy at our ceremony and then I was
terrified that I was losing Clara. Now I’m so happy I could yell it from the rooftops. I realize for the first
time that Silas has been quiet since we found out that we are having a pup. “Silas, what’s up with you?
I thought you would be dancing around my head.” “Eli, I never thought I would have a chance to have a
pup. When I left Atlas, I never expected to have a chance like this. A chance with a human like you who
loves our mate and would never hurt her.” “Silas, you deserve this and we are going to be the best
father to our pup.” I feel his happiness through our bond. I finish the walk to the cells. When I head
down the stairs, the smell of rotting meat is pungent. My father, Michael, Neal, and the twins are waiting
for me. “What do we know?” “We were able to capture three rogues. A handful ran before we could
reach them. It was like they disappeared”, Micah says. “Have they given us any answers about their
collective?” “No, they haven’t spoken a word. Based on what they look like, I would say they were sent
here as sacrifices”, Mason says. “What makes you think that?” “There is one woman and two men but
they can’t fight. They look like they have been abused.” I growl “they were seeing how fast we would
respond. Let them rest for tonight and make sure they get fed properly.”
My father smiles and I can feel his pride. “I’m going to speak with them before I head back to my Luna.”
“Congratulations”, they say, and I head toward the two cells. The men and woman look up at me with
fear in their eyes. “No one will harm you here. I will let you rest and get something to eat before we
talk.” They don’t move but I know they heard me. I step closer and bend down. “You have no reason to
trust us after all you have been through, but I am the Alpha of this pack and I give you my word that no
one will harm you.” They look at each other before they look back at me and nod.
