Alpha And Luna
Chapter 16

Previously

One month eclipse

I get up from the bed, but arms hold me by the waist and pin me against a torso, his torso.

-Where are you going?

I want to throw up.

-Let go of me, I want to puke.

He lets go and I run to the bathroom, Fabien comes to hold my hair and gently strokes my back. I think I'm pregnant, because it's the third time this week and I haven't had my period since the last time. -I think you've kept part of your promise, my love.

Present

He looks at me for a moment in shock and then lifts me up and spins me around.

-You don't know how happy I am Freya, you fill me with happiness.

He puts me back on my feet and kisses me, and we're cut off by the doorbell. I go downstairs to open the door and Olivia jumps out at me.

-I'm so happy for you both!

-But how do you know?

Mattéo shakes Fabien's hand.

-I'm happy for you, mate, but there's something we need to talk about...

-Not here, follow me to my office.

What's so important that I don't need to know?

-I mean, remember? Summer and I have a special bond, and I could hear inside your head.

-Okay, and have you spoken to Summer since?

-No, I don't know what's going on with her, she hasn't spoken to us in weeks and I found out she was pregnant from Mattéo and not Summer. I was angry when I found out, because she didn't tell us herself. -I understand and I say? You've put on a hell of a lot of weight!

-I know, I'm only a few days away from having my little boy in my arms (for werewolves, pregnancy lasts 5 months). Mattéo hardly leaves me any more...

-Hardly lets you what? he says.

Suddenly she cries out in pain and puts a hand on her stomach, I think she's having contractions. Mattéo just stands there, not moving.

-Move your arse Mattéo, she's going to give birth to your f*****g child! I shouted beside myself.

He woke up and took her in his arms before putting her in the car. I grabbed my coat and was about to get out, but Fabien stopped me.

-Let me out, I have to go to the hospital to be with her!

-I can't let you out, Matteo asked me to be alone with her after the birth.

-Anything, please she's my best friend and she needs me.

-I can't let you go out, you might see her two hours after the baby's born.

I try to hold back my anger, but I can't, Samantha wants to take control and go and replace her sister and she succeeds. I start to transform, Samantha at last.

-Freya, don't do that you could hurt the baby!

Samantha doesn't think about the baby and transforms, she's much angrier because he called me Freya when it was Samantha. Suddenly I crash to the ground and feel a sharp pain in my stomach, before closing my eyes I see Fabien coming towards me worried, then nothing.

Olivia's POS

Mattéo has just put me in the car when another contraction is felt, I cry out in pain. Mattéo puts his hand on my stomach and the pain eases a little.

-Take care of your mummy, little wolf.

He turns to me and smiles.

-At last we can hold him in our arms.

We finally arrived at the pack hospital and I was admitted to the delivery centre.

-Hello beta, so you're going to become a dad?

-No, he's going to be the Pope! I said in anger.

They looked at me wickedly.

-Sorry, hormones," I said, giving another pained cry.

-Do you mind if I see how the work's going?

Mattéo nodded and gave me his hand.

-We're quite far along, so I'm going to ask you to push Olivia.

I push once and I hear Mattéo squeal, I think I'm hurting his hand, but he can cry all he wants, he doesn't know how much pain I'm in right now. -Another time, I push on his head.

I push again and there's crying, I lie back down on my bed and Mattéo wipes the sweat off my forehead.

-I'm proud of you, Princess.

I smile at him and the doctor gives me our baby.

What are you going to name this little guy?

-Zack, Zack Collins.

Mattéo smiles at me and strokes our baby's cheek.

-He looks just like you, it's crazy," I say.

-But he's got his mum's beautiful eyes," he says before kissing me.

I hand him Zack, and he takes him and starts to rock him.

-I don't understand why Freya isn't here...

-I asked them to come two hours after you gave birth to give you time to rest.

-I asked them to come two hours after you gave birth to give you time to rest.

-YOU DID WHAT? ????

-Calm down darling, I thought...

The door opens on Fabien.

-Where is she? I want to see Freya!

-She...she...

-Spit it out!

-She's in a coma...

-What do you mean comatose? What have you done to my sister?

-I didn't do anything. When she found out she couldn't come and see you, she started getting angry and then she changed. But I told her not to, because it was dangerous for the baby, but I think it was Samantha and I made her even angrier by saying Freya instead...

-You're an a*****e.

I turn to Mattéo.

-And you too, preventing my sister from coming to see me at a time like this was really not a good idea.

-But why is it so important for her to be here? Because she wanted to come and see you so much.

-Because we made a promise..., says a voice behind Fabien.

It's Summer.

-To be there when the others give birth...

-Summer...

I'm starting to cry.

-I didn't think you'd keep our promise.

She holds me.

-Just because we don't talk any more doesn't mean I'm going to forget such an important promise," she says, smiling.

Mattéo gives me the baby and leaves the room with Fabien, good riddance!

-He looks just like Mattéo, like the spitting image of him!

-And to think I carried him for five months and he looks just like his daddy," I laugh.

-Shall I do it?

She picks up Zack and starts talking to him.

-Do you know if you're having a boy or a girl?

-It's a little girl.

-I'm happy for you, you could help me get up, I'm going to go and see Freya.

-Of course, I could come with you?

I smile at her and we leave for Freya's room. When we arrive, we replace her on the white bed. She's almost the same colour as the sheets, so seeing her like that fills me with grief and I start to cry. I go over to her and take her hand. -Don't let us down Freya, I beg you...

The steady beeping of the machine becomes more than a long thud, signifying that her heart has stopped...
