Betrayed by My Pack – Wolfless Hybrids Escape -
Chapter 130 –
Roberts's POV
I was racing to get to the hospital. I heard a rumor my mate was here, so I left my lunch uneaten to go to her. I knew she was supposed to come back to Black Adder today. I would fall to my knees and beg her to give me another chance. I wasted my first opportunity, but I wouldn't
waste this one. I hoped that her love for me would grant me another opportunity.
I was heading to the hospital and stayed in my human form despite Echo telling me to run there in wolf form. I knew I would need to talk once I got there. Despite nudity being second nature to wolves, I didn't want anyone else besides Saoirse to see me like that. I had hurt her enough. I knew a few she-wolves in the pack still had their eye on me even though I was mated. I won't make the same mistake again.As I neared the hospital, I could see someone running in the same direction. It was Alexei, and he was moving fast. I quickened my pace, as he would only be this concerned if there were a real problem. We arrived at the hospital entrance together, and I followed him. Echo was telling me that Alexei knew where we needed to go. We headed to the second floor, and he only slowed down once we got to a specific room. As soon as we entered, I saw Saoirse lying on the hospital bed and Cara sitting in a chair near her. "What happened? Are you OK?" I asked as I rushed to Saoirse's side. I heard Alexei asking Cara the same thing. I held her hand and ran my eyes over her body, trying to see if she had any visible injuries. If someone hurt her, I was going to kill them.
"I am fine, Robert. I just needed some expert advice from Dr. Hill and Dr. Gurin,"
I let out the breath that I hadn't realized I was holding. Saoirse sat up on the bed, and I didn't care who was in the room. I was going to bare everything to her now and beg her forgiveness. When she stood up, I hit my knees and wrapped my arms around her. My face was pressed against her stomach as I spoke the words I had waited so long to tell her.
"I am sorry I didn't tell you the entire truth. I was scared you would leave me if you knew I had allowed her to flirt. She made me feel important. She had faith in me to protect her and keep her safe. She knew that I didn't like her, not like she liked me. But she was content with the weekly dinners together. She liked to hold my hand. She listened to me. She gave me the attention that I had been craving my whole life."If you're reading this on any site other than Job, this content has been stolen!

Kevin was appreciated because he excelled in everything. I was ignored as the extra son, not worthy of my father's attention or love. My sister was always cherished as the only girl. I should have stopped Adra, and I didn't. The guilt over what I did is killing me. I will accept any punishment you give me. Please don't leave me. Saoirse, give me another chance to prove to you that I can be the mate you want and need," I begged. I barely held back the sob that wanted to escape. I was this big, tough wolf, but every part of me belonged to her. I don't know what I will do if she refuses. I don't care about anything except Saoirse. I don't want to go on without her. The time we have spent apart is slowly killing me. I know in my heart that I will genuinely lose everything if she doesn't accept my apology and take me back.
I was startled as I felt her hand run through my hair. I had to hold my moan back. I had craved her touch so much. The tingles on my scalp gave me hope that she would give me a chance. I couldn't resist looking up at my mate. That was all I needed her to do: give me one more chance. I swear to the Goddess above that I will not fail her again. I looked up at her with hesitation. This was it, one way or another I would know what she was thinking. I was willing to beg her if that was what she wanted. I needed to know if she was about to tell me goodbye or if she was going to grant me my wish.
"Robert, all I wanted was for you to be honest. Lying to me made it seem like you wanted to be with her. Hiding it to keep me from being suspicious. I knew now that she had been grooming you. She felt the sadness in you. That is why you work so hard at your job. You feel like it is your identity like it is the reason you have worth. But you are already worthy, Robert. Your family and friends love you not because of your rank but because of who you are. I love you, and I will give you another chance. But this is it, Robert. If you have another secret 'friend' in the pack who is pawing you, I won't forgive you a third time. I will be gone, along with our babies," Saoirse told me.
"There is no one else, and there will never be anyone else. I love you. I hope you know just how much. I'm sorry for not telling you the truth sooner. I hope you know that you are the only woman in my heart. Thank you for allowing me to prove that I can be the man you need me to be. I won't take it lightly, I swear it," I told her.
Dr. Gurin cleared his throat, and I noticed that Dr. Hill and the tech had left the room. "While they are running Cara's blood sample, I wanted to get to what you came here for, Saoirse."
Cara and Brenna were interested in what he was saying. I was concerned and asked, "Is everything OK with the baby?"
I let Saoirse go so she could get back up on the bed. I stood up and held her hand. I was concerned that she was having difficulty because of all the stress that Adra and I had put her through. I didn't know much about pregnancies, but I did know from Mom being pregnant with my half-siblings that pregnant women are not to be given extra stress. Guilt filled me as I worried that my actions had caused issues not just for Saoirse but also for our pup.
"Everything is fine, Robert. I was coming in so Dr. Gurin would be my physician and help me through my pregnancy. He had mentioned to me after I arrived that should I need him, he wanted to help. He had drafted several papers on Cheryl's pregnancies. He wanted to do one that included witches. It can only help by documenting what happens, especially when mated to another species," Saoirse told me. Dr. Gurin nodded in agreement with what Saoirse told me.
A cart was rolled into the room, and Dr. Gurin motioned for Saoirse to lay back on the bed. I didn't know what was happening, but I didn't like it when Dr. Gurin asked her to lift her shirt and push her leggings down. A growl filled the room. I didn't realize that I was the one who had done it until I felt Saoirse's hand on my arm-trying to comfort me. I didn't want Alexei or Dr. Gurin to see any part of my mate.
Dr. Gurin laughed and said, "Calm down, pup. She is yours. No one here is trying to take her away from you." Alexei was smiling at me in amusement. But I knew he would do the same thing if the roles were reversed, and we all saw Cara's abdomen exposed. "What are you doing?" I asked.
"Saoirse said that the doctor in her village had mentioned something, and she wanted to confirm it here. So, we are going to do an ultrasound to check the pup. You won't be able to see anything yet, as she is in the early stages of pregnancy. We want to check on her and make the best plans for Saoirse for the pregnancy," Dr. Gurin told me.
I struggled to stay still as Saoirse did as he asked. She pulled her shirt up, folded it under, and then slid her leggings down a little. Thank the Goddess; she was not wearing the jeans she liked. She would have been even more exposed. I barely contained the growl that wanted to rip out of me. I deliberately went to stand on the other side of the bed to block Alexei's view.
I didn't care how funny they found my jealousy to be. I have always been possessive of my mate. Her abdomen being exposed, along with the fact I have not been able to be with her for the last week and a half, had got me stressed out. Echo is about to lose his mind in here. That would be a terrible thing to happen, so they need to just let me process this the best way that I can.
Dr. Gurin squeezed some clear gel onto my mate's stomach, and a smaller growl ripped from me. He made sure not to touch my mate. He used a small instrument to push the gel around her lower abdomen. I was trying hard to force myself and Echo to relax. I was ready to attack if he touched her in a way I found inappropriate. Cara was standing next to me to watch the screen, trying to catch a glimpse of her baby brother or sister.
Alexei had put his hand on my shoulder as he stood behind me. He knew I was agitated and didn't want to cause me any further anxiety. Saoirse's eyes were fixed on the screen as she watched for something specific herself. She seemed very interested in whatever it was that she was looking for. I was about to ask when I heard the heartbeats. They were beating loudly in the silent room. Echo perked up and listened. A moment later he said, 'Our pups are strong, through the link.
I had been so focused on listening to the heartbeats that I didn't even realize there had been two heartbeats, not one. I looked at Saoirse in shock and saw her look up at me with a gentle smile. I leaned down to kiss her lips thanking the Goddess that my mate returned. I know that I would have gone mad without her.
I would never have recovered from losing my mate and two pups. I wanted to hug her, but Dr. Gurin still moved the wand around. He was silent until he got done, and as he went to wipe the gel off, he heard my warning growl. He just handed me the towel to let me wipe it off myself. He then said, "Congratulations on having twins. They are fraternal twins, not identical, as they each have a sac. I am very excited to assist you with your pregnancy."I had to sit down in the chair that Cara had vacated. I felt shocked and weak. Twins? I can't believe it. We are having twins. That was the last thing I remembered before I passed out.
