The Gamma's Heart
The Gamma’s Heart – Chapter 31

“Wyatt this is great news. Why are you pacing?” Noah shook his head at his cousin who was more like a brother to him.

Wyatt stopped, he glanced at the door then at Noah and sighed. “Because! She’s only 17 Noah… we should’ve been more careful.” he then again started his pacing.

Noah g*****d as he got up and grabbed his arm and forced him to stop. “Regrdless, of age it’s still a blessing. You and I both know she isn’t going to care.” He nodded towards the door. “Now lets go tell her what the doctor told us.

He sighed and leaned down grabbing the tray of food he grabbed for her from the cafeteria.

The small smile that greeted the both of them made their hearts swell with love and happiness. If only she knew how much they missed that smile. “What’s that?”

“I got you some food. Now it’s not the gourmet food Annie makes us at the packhouse but it’s what we got for now until we can get back.” he chuckled “I know Mrs. Davis misses you like crazy, asked about you everyday.” Wyatt told her as he set the tray down on the table and moved it to her.

The older Omega was such a sweetheart and Clara enjoyed her company. She was such and angel to be around, even showed her a few tricks on how to bring flavors out in food.

“Thank you, Wyatt.” she told him.

Even though Clara loved him she still felt like she betrayed the mate bond, even though it wasn’t her fault for what happened, she could have protected herself, defended herself somehow.

Clara looked away from him and picked at the food. She could feel his brown eyes on her but she didn’t dare look back up, instead she whispered, “what is it? I can feel something bothering you”

Noah walked over and sat in a chair next to the bed, he gently took her free hand, she flinched and he let her hand go. Instead of dwelling on the matter he explained their reason for coming in so late.

“We got your bloodwork back. Your free of the wolfsbane, but there’s still traces of silver so that’s probably why you haven’t heard from your wolf. She’s not dead according to Samuel.”

Clara finally looked up at him when he said his name. “You’ve been talking to him about me?” Noah nodded

“He only ever used silver to control his wolf, not to show off that it wouldn’t kill him angel.” she sighed, “anything else?”

Wyatt looked over at Noah but he was looking at Clara. “Something’s wrong isn’t there?” Clara was beginning to panic a bit.

“No…no, nothing is wrong.” Noah said calmly. He wanted so bad to hold her hand and stroke the soft skin on it.

He sighed knowing why he couldn’t then looked up at her, her beautiful eyes warming his heart. “You’re pregnant.”

Clara shook her head. “what?” she whispered in shock. “that’s impossible” the disbelief she was showing didn’t surprise Noah but looking over at Wyatt he seen that it did him.

Wyatt stepped in this time. “He said you are about 4 months along for a werewolf pregnancy so it’s not…his. You don’t have to worry about that.” Once Wyatt finished Noah hit him. “f*****g i***t, why would you say something like that?”

Clara couldn’t hear what they were arguimg about, she stopped listening when Noah told her she was pregnant.

If Clary was able to talk to her she would have told her herself rather than replaceing out this way.

She probably wouldn’t be in shock.

“We’re gonna let you rest. Okay? Hopefully you can be checked out soon.” Noah said.

He stood up and kissed her temple softly. “Come on let’s let her sleep.” he told his cousin.

Abigail saw the two step out as she was coming down the hall. She approached them both with a smile “Hey boys,” they both smiled at her. “Did you tell her?”

Noah nodded “we told her she was pregnant but not that she has pneumonia. I think she was in shock.” he scratched the back of his head.

Abby giggled lightly. “I’d be in shock too, she’s lucky she hasn’t miscarried due to all the events that’s happened thus far.”

Wyatt placed his hand on her shoulder “Perhaps her wolf is keeping it safe. Her not being able to talk to her probably isn’t helping either, Samuel said she would help her with her powers too.”

Wyatt placed his hand on her shoulder “Perhaps her wolf is keeping it safe. Her not being able to talk to her probably isn’t helping either, Samuel said she would help her with her powers too.”

Abigail nodded her head, “Did he say anything else?” she asked as she nervously chewed on her fingernail.

Noah sighed and nodded. “He asked us to ask… if you’re up for it. He’d like to talk to you.”

She took a step back out of instinct, then sighed. “I have to speak to Victor about it.” Abigail, then swiftly turned around and went in search of her husband.

Wyatt sighed “well that went great.”

“You can’t expect her to act any differently. The man abused and raped her, Wyatt. We just better hope that our own mate don’t continue to feel that way towards us. She thinks that we are disgusted by what happened to her. I miss the way she used to look at us, now we hardly even get a glance from her.”

Once Noah was finished with his rant he didn’t know he was crying until Wyatt pulled him imto him and hugged him tightly. He hugged him back as the two of them just let silent tears fall. “I miss holding her.” Noah whispered.

**********

It’s been a few days now and Victor and Abigail has finally talked each other into speaking to Samuel. But they wanted to do it before Clara came home, they didn’t want her in the same room with him.

Hearing a knock on the door Abigail flinched slightly. “It’s alright. I’m here with you this time.” her husband t old her softly. Abby nodded her head and calmed down some.

“Have Chase get the door.” Victor shook his head leaned down and kissed her cheek softly “I’ll get it, Chase was on patrol last night. He’s sleeping.”

Abigail, sat there at the counter in the kitchen while her mate went to answer the door. She could hear them speaking but she tried to tune them out as she sipped on her tea.

“She’s nervous, lets just take it slow okay?” Victor told Samuel sternly. Seeing how tense he was he gave him a smile, “Lets go. I’ll make us some sandwiches for lunch.”

Samuel relaxed some and nodded as they walked further into the house. He looked around and looked at all the pictures on the walls, he stopped abruptly at a picture of Clara she looked about one.

She was sitting in a hollowed out watermellon, her little fists were both holding peices of the fruit, her black curls also had watermelon in it. But what caught his attention was the smile on her face.

She had two teeth in the front but the adorable smile she had made his heart melt.

Victor clearing his throat brought him out of his gaze. “oh sorry,” he mumbled, and continued walking.

Once they reached the kitchen Victor smiled at his wife and leaned down giving her another k**s on the cheek,, he then stepped away and went to grab things from the refrigerator to make sandwiches.

Samuel stood there in the doorway awkwardly not sure where to go or sit. “You can sit down at the counter.” Victor told him.

He looked over, there was only two seats and Abigail was sitting at one already.

He sighed and walked over slowly and took a seat, he moved the seat a bit so he wasn’t so close to her, because he seen her tense up some.

Once Victor was done with the sandwiches he brought them over and placed them in front of Samuel and Abigail. “Alright, let’s eat and talk.” he gestured to the food, he grabbed the lemonade from the fridge and poured two glasses, then handed one to Samuel.

“Thank you,” Samuel told him and took a sip of the drink. “So….Samuel, what is it you want to talk about?” Victor asked taking a bite of his food.

He pointed to Abigail, “I want to talk about what I did to, Abigail! And what I have to say you can believe me or not, but know you have to look for the signs in Clara.”

“What signs?” Abigail asked looking over at him.

He cleared his throat after swallowing a bite of food. “first when we took you Abby-“

Wyatt placed his hand on her shoulder “Perhaps her wolf is keeping it safe. Her not being able to talk to her probably isn’t helping either, Samuel said she would help her with her powers too.”

“it’s Abigail!” she snapped at him.

Samuel nodded, “sorry, when we took you Abigail, it wasn’t me in control. It was my wolf, Titus! When he wants something he takes over and it’s extremely hard to get my control back from him. That’s why I use silver when I feel like he’s gonna take over again.”

He took a deep breath. “That’s why he did those things to you, he felt like if he wasn’t getting what he wanted he’d take something from someone else. I’m really sorry he did that to you. I just don’t think he expected you to get pregnant.”

“You kidnapped me right before my heat cycle. What did you expect to happen?” Abby snapped again, after hearing everything he said it pissed her off. “Why is you wolf more dominate than you?” She questioned him.

“Because of our powers. He feeds off of them.” he told her.

“That’s why I’m worried about Clara. When the boys told me that the witch in her forced her to shift early, I don’t think that was entirely just her powers activating her wolf. I think her wolf influenced her to do it.” Samuel explained.

“And she has a white wolf, we don’t know what that means for her powers. It could be good, or it could be really…” he couldn’t replace the right word to describe what he was trying to say.

“Intimidating, dark, extremely bad.. in other words” Victor offered, causing Samuel to nod his head. “Basically!”

“What’re the signs?” Victor asked him. “Anger, uncontrollable power, she could hurt someone without realizing she’d done it.” Sam said. “she’s pregnant, we wouldn’t beable to tell the differance from her powers or her hormones.”

Samuel was lost for words, he didn’t know she was pregnant. “how far along?” he whispered.

“About 8 weeks in human terms.” Victor said with a sigh “she wasn’t even supposed to have children, there was a 5% chance that she could even get pregnant.” he explained.

“What do you mean? Werewolves should beable to get pregnant no matter what. Heat cycle or not..” Sam was a little shocked at what he was hearing.

Abigail shook her head. “The rouges you sent here when she was 12, when they tried to kidnap her she used her powers and ended up killing them, and nearly ruined her chances of having children.. because of it she tried rejecting her mates because she felt unworthy.”

“Regardless of how she feels she shouldn’t feel like she’s unworthy because she couldn’t get preganat.” Samuel told them softly, and Victor smiled.

Samuel then added “also, I haven’t sent anybody over here to take her, I wouldn’t do that. I know this is her home.”

“Then who’s been attacking us. There was an attack a few months ago that damn near killed her, they injected her with wolfsbane preventing her from healing. When her heart stopped, I felt like I couldn’t breathe.” Abigail had tears in her eyes.

She didn’t understand, if it wasn’t him then who was it?

Victor walked around the counter and rubbed Abby’s shoulders gently. “It’s okay honey, she’s fine.” he whispered and Abigail nodded. “I know.”

“I’d say it was Alex but we just don’t know that for sure. Does she have any enemies?” Samuel asked, he was going to interrogate his Beta but he needed to be thorough in his investigation.

“None that I’m aware of. We’ll ask her for you.” Victor said. “Can I…can I ask her myself?” Samuel asked tenativly.

Both Victor and Abigail looked at one another, Abigail sighed deeply. She didn’t want him near her daughter, but she also knew that if the packs were merging it was going to happen alot more than she’d like.

“I suppose, but you’re gonna have to give her some time to get used to you being around now.” Abigail told him.

He nodded his head eagerly. “I promise to work with her at her pace.” he smiled at the couple, his wolf was even eager to work with them for his pups love and attention.
