My Alpha's Wolfless Daughter
My Alpha’s Wolfless Daughter – Chapter 68

Luna Ayla

I woke with a g***n. My body ached and my throat was throbbing. I should have used the mind-link while talking with Nate last night, but it sounded better. Now I’m paying for it. Nate wasn’t in bed and I sat up, looking around our room. I knew he had to be around here somewhere. I’m sure he has lots of work to do, now that he is an alpha.

“A very sexy Alpha,” Kaia purred.

“Stop. He won’t touch us until we are healed.” I huffed.

“Then jump him. I want my mate.” She whined.

“And I don’t? But the doctor said we needed to rest.” I reminded her and she growled.

“We can rest after we claim what is ours.”

“Kaia, you don’t have to worry about Nate cheating on us. He marked us to save us.” I reassured her. She grumbled before retreating. I understand her frustration. I don’t feel the same without my mark on Nate, but we have to wait.

Sitting up, I found a bottle of water, pain meds, and my phone on the nightstand closest to me. I smiled at Nate’s thoughtfulness. I took a couple of pills with the bottle of water before I picked up my phone to call my dad. I wanted to make sure Thea and my sibling were okay.

I held my phone up to my ear and listened to it ring, finally his voice answered.

“Ayla?”

“Hi, Dad. How are Thea and my sibling doing?” My voice was raspy but it was better than yesterday.

“Oh, sweetie. I’m so happy you are awake. Will gave me the news yesterday but I’ve been so busy with Thea and your baby brothers.” He said and I smiled.

“Brothers?” I exclaimed.

“Thea gave birth to twin boys yesterday. Aspen and River.” He said with pride.

“And she is doing well?” I asked, unable to hold in my excitement.

“All three of them are doing great, sweetie. How are you feeling?” He asked me.

“I’m out of the hospital but I’m still sore and easily winded. My wolf woke up.” I told him and he gasped.

“You have a wolf?”

“Her name is Kaia,” I said.

“That’s wonderful, sweetie. I can’t wait to see you and to introduce you to your siblings. Rosie is so mad she got brothers and not a sister.” I giggled.

“And I’ll be the best big sister that little girl ever had.”

“I’ll send you pictures.” He said before I heard a baby start to cry.

“I know you are busy. Give everyone my love, especially Thea. I love you, Dad.”

“I love you, sweetie. Take it easy.” We ended the call and I couldn’t wipe the smile off my face. Not only do I have a little sister, but I now have two baby brothers.

My phone chimed in my hand, it was a photo of my baby brothers. Both of them were sleeping bundled up. They have dark hair like our dad. I was already in love as I stared at the newborns. I felt giddy as I climbed off the bed and got ready to go replace Nate.

When I was dressed, I headed out of our apartment. I let out a g***n when I realized I would be walking down the stairs. I forgot we were on the top floor of the pack house. I was so excited to be getting out of the hospital and exhausted to remember Nate carrying me upstairs.

By the time I stepped off the last stair, I was exhausted again and my chest twisted painfully as it pounded in my chest. I was covered in sweat as I tried to control my breathing.

“Your heart and lung need more time to heal.” Kaia scolded me.

“And you want me to claim our mate when I can’t even walk down the stairs?” I exclaimed.

“I would rather die being f****d by our mate than by you walking downstairs.” She retorted.

“Or you could heal me faster?” She huffed before returning to the back of my mind.

I didn’t realize I had an audience until I raised my head and took a deep breath. A few pack members were looking at me with concern. I could feel more heat going up my cheeks. I must look pathetic.

“Luna, are you okay?” A man asked with worry.

“Oh, yeah, of course,” I told him, brushing off his concern.

“Do you know where Alpha Nate is, by chance?” I asked him and he pointed to the front door.

“He’s outside talking with a few of the warriors.” I thanked him before I opened the door to replace my mate standing with a few men in the driveway. I g*****d as I saw I would have to walk down more stairs.

Nate must have heard me because he turned around and looked at me.

“Ayla, what are you doing out of bed?”

“Finding you,” I called out as I mentally prepared myself to take the few stairs I had left.

“Why didn’t you use the mind-link?” He teased and I pushed my lips into a line.

“First, because that would have been too easy, and second, I needed to get out of the house. But why the hell don’t we have an elevator?” I exclaimed as I made it to the driveway. Nate met me there as I tried to catch my breath.

“Didn’t the doctor say you needed rest?” He asked, pulling me against his chest.

“Maybe, but to be fair, it’s good to get up and move. But again, why the hell don’t we have an elevator?” He chuckled and kissed my lips.

“I’ll put it on my list.” He mumbled against my lips.

“Good, because you are going to carry me up them,” I grumbled.

“Anytime, baby.” He said and I snuggled into his chest, almost forgetting why I came down here in the first place.

“Did you hear the good news?” I exclaimed, looking up at him, my chin resting on his chest.

“What good news?” He questioned.

“Thea had twin boys. River and Aspen.” I told him, letting go, I pulled my phone out of my pocket to show him the photo my father sent. He spun me and pulled me back into his chest. He wrapped his arms around my waist and rested his head on my shoulder as I showed him the photo of my brothers.

“They are so chubby.” He cooed and my heart swelled.

“My dad said everyone was doing well but Rosie wanted a sister, not two brothers.” I chuckled.

“She already has the best sister.” He kissed my cheek.

“Ayla!” I heard my name being yelled. Nate turned with me still wrapped in his arms. Xander was jogging up toward us. He must have just been in the water. I couldn’t help but smirk as all the female wolves stopped to take him in.

“What are you doing up? You should be resting,” he scolded me with a smirk.

“I’ll rest in a little bit. I want to see and meet the pack.” I told him. Nate let me go and Xander pulled me in for a hug.

“You are never allowed to do that again. I’ve aged ten years.” He whispered and I giggled.

“With all eyes on you, I would say, the females like them mature.”

“I missed you.” He laughed.

When we pulled apart, I told him all about my newborn brothers. I was so proud of them and I couldn’t wait to go visit soon. I just needed the all-clear from the doctor, even though Nate’s mom is a doctor. I would be fine even if we left today.

“Wuna,” I heard a squeal before, I was almost knocked back. I looked down to replace a little girl with her arms wrapped around one of my thighs.

“Violet, you have to be gentle,” a woman said, approaching us.

“Ayla, this is Melanie May.” Nate introduced the woman. She was beautiful with her long blonde hair and bright blue eyes. My chest rumbled and I knew it was Kaia.

“Sorry, my wolf is a little temperamental.” I apologized, shaking her hand. Xander and Nate were snicking behind me.

“No need to apologize, my wolf still growls at other women who look at my mate.” She chuckled.

“And this beautiful little girl must be Violet,” I looked down at her and she was looking up at me with her big blue eyes. I thought I was going to melt. She was a tiny version of her mother.

“I got you a fower,” she held up a dandelion that was smashed, but it was so thoughtful.

“Awe, thank you, sweetie.” I took the flower.

“I was going down to the beach, would you like to walk with me?” I asked her, as I kneeled in front of her, trying not to show how much pain it caused me.

“Mommy said we can’t go to the ocean right now cause of the sarks.” She pouted. I looked at Xander and he shrugged.

“They won’t hurt you if you are with me,” I told her with a smile, and her little face lit up.

“Mommy, can I go?” She ran up to her mother, while I held up my hand for help. Nate helped me up and I swayed before my head stopped spinning.

“Ayla, you need to rest,” Nate said as he held me up.

“I’m fine, and the water will do me some good,” I told him. My entire body was throbbing but I knew the ocean water would help heal me.

“We can go together,” I heard Melanie say before another squeal rang out. Violet grabbed my hand and pulled me along as we walked towards the beach.

“Thank you, Luna. She has been so excited to meet you when we told her our new Luna was also a mermaid.”

“I wove mermaids.” Violet giggled.

“I don’t think I’ll be able to shift today, but when I can, I’ll take you swimming,” I told her and the squeal that left her lips had me cringing.

She was talking so fast, I had no idea what she was saying as she rushed beside me, pulling me along with her.

“I like seeing you with a child,” Nate purred in my mind. I turned my head to see him and Xander following behind us. I smiled at him. I wasn’t ready for my own kids just yet, but how could I say no to this little cutie?
