Alpha And Luna
Chapter 42

Previously

I create a fireball in my hand and put it in front of the second, then another in front of the third. The flames are almost the same height, but the third is slightly stronger, I hope I'm not mistaken. I open the third door and walk for a few minutes before sinking into

the darkness. When I open my eyes, I see that I'm...

Present

I wake up and I'm on a metal table, the door opens on my mother and Kyle.

-She's awake.

Kyle POS (two days before Maeva woke up)

-Kyle?

I turn around and see Maeva's mum.

-Freya, I've got a lot of questions for you.

-I don't have time to answer them now and I'm sure that what I'm going to show you will answer a lot of your questions.

I nod and she leads me into a room in her basement.

-You've kidnapped someone and you want me to torture him or what?

She laughs and pushes open a door.

-I go in.

I enter the room and the first thing I notice is Maeva's body.

-What the f**k? You've dug up your own daughter, but you're sick!

-No, I'm not!

She puts her hand on my forehead and suddenly I'm full of images. Images of Freya swapping bodies, her using magic to make the other's body look like my princess's, the conversation with her brother, everything. -Maeva isn't dead, Kyle.

-Her heart isn't beating, don't tell me she's alive!

-Her body yes, but not her spirit, every werewolf has the right to a second chance at life, depending on what the Moon Goddess has decided, on the life the wolf has lived, the actions she's taken, how she got here, her life, whatever. -And Maeva was given a second chance.

-Yes, my mother gave her a second chance, but she has to complete three trials.

-The Moon Goddess is your mother?

-Yes, but now we have to get out.

We go out and into the living room to replace Fabien with Nick.

-He looks like you, Kyle.

-I think he looks like Maeva," I say.

-That's because you miss her, but my little girl will be back soon. Do you want to live here until she wakes up?

-If you don't mind.

-Of course not, I'll give you Maeva's old room.

I walk up the stairs with Nick and into the room, it's just like Maeva, pictures of her and her friends all over the room, the walls are white and purple. Nick starts to cry, so I rock him, but he won't stop, I try to get him to drink, but it doesn't work. I put him down on the bed and he stops crying.

-But how?

Freya enters the room.

-Because her bed smells like her.

I nod.

-Do you want me to look after him?

-No it's fine, just let me know when Maeva gets back.

-Suit yourself.

She leaves the room and I go to bed with Nick, changing his nappy and cuddling him. When he laughs, his laugh reminds me of Maeva's, I miss her so much...

POV Maeva

Kyle hugs me and I cry.

-You scared me princess, I missed you so much...

I hold him tighter, I look up and see my mum, I break away from him and run into my mum's arms.

-Thanks Mum, thanks for doing all this for me...

-Of course, Maeva...

She smiles at me.

-I think there's someone who can't wait to meet you.

My eyes light up and Kyle picks me up like a princess and takes me to my old room. There I replace my little Nick, and I climb out of Kyle's arms and walk over to Nick, picking him up gently and looking at him. -He looks just like you, Kyle...

He comes up behind me and puts his hands on mine.

-He's beautiful.

I smile and hand them to him.

-I've got to talk to my mum and then we're going home, OK?

He nods, I get up and go into my mum's study.

-My mum?

-What's up?

I sit down in front of her and hand her the bottle.

-Grandma gave me this.

-It's a potion to make you stronger when you give birth.

-Why didn't I think of that in the first place?

-Because only she can make them.

-And what do I do?

-Just swallow it and when it's time to give birth, the potion will activate.

-Right, that simple?

-Just as simple.

-Me and Kyle are going home.

She nods.

-Thanks, Mum.

She hugs me.

-Go and replace your baby, they grow up fast.

I go out and head for my room where I replace Kyle and Nick asleep, I smile and go to bed, Kyle and I forming a barrier for Nick. I fall asleep with the two men in my life.

When I wake up I've got a huge pain in my boobs, so I get up and go and see my mum who's in the kitchen.

-Hi darling, did you sleep well?

She turns round.

-Are you all right?

-My boobs hurt!

She laughs.

-No, but it's my funny one!

-Give Nick a drink.

I run to my room and hear my mum laughing. Kyle's still asleep, Nick's awake and staring around the room in wonder. I take him, being careful not to wake Kyle, and gasp for my son. After a few minutes I'm already feeling better. We get home and I go and run a bath, Nick's in bed and Kyle's in his study. I take the potion my grandmother made and swallow it, get in the bath and a few minutes later Kyle comes in, puts me against his chest and starts washing me. -Nick wasn't too difficult?

-He often wanted his mum, but now you're here I think everything's going to be fine. Our son's a sweetheart, just like his mum.

I smile and turn around.

-And with the pack, how are we going to manage.

-They know you're back, I said a powerful witch gave you her last breath of life before she died.

-That's a very good lie.

I laugh and so does he, he lifts my chin and kisses me.

-What if we made Nick a little brother or sister?

-And you're the one who's going to give birth?

He laughs.

-Maybe later, but I wouldn't say no to a little physical effort.

He kisses me harder, and then what was supposed to happen happened.
