The Gamma's Heart
The Gamma’s Heart – Chapter 37

It’s been a couple days, and Wyatt has been coming over to talk to Clara and help her with her training along with Samuel.

Abigail even came to a couple. She was very happy to see how well her daughter had her abilities under control, well almost all of them.

She hasn’t mastered the teleportation yet.

And the visions only come when they want to. Most of them are meaningless.

All but the one she had last night.

It had her waking up in a cold sweat. It was so bad it had both her mates linking her in the middle of the night asking her if they needed to come over.

The thought was sweet, but she couldn’t tell them what she seen, she couldn’t tell him what she saw.

“Chase can I borrow your keys?” Clara asked her brother while smiling with her hand out.

“Depends, where are you going?” he gave her a cheeky grin, his eyes not leaving the tv while he continued playing his game.

“Wyatt forgot some of my things at, Noah’s. I was going to go get it.” she told him “please? I’ll order you an extra large pizza if you let me take the jeep?”

Chase glanced over at both Jackson and Richard who were snickering becuase they knew pizza was his weak spot.

“That’s low. Even for you.” he grumbled digging in his pocket for his keys.

Clara snatched them out of his hand and smiled brightly. “I just know you. You’d marry pizza if you could.” she told him pulling her phone out.

“Don’t forget the extra cheese!” he yelled after her before the front door closed.

Clara finished with her brothers pizza order making sure she got the ‘extra cheese’ and set it up for delivery so she didn’t have to go into town to get it, then backed out of the driveway.

When she pulled up to Noah’s house she took a deep breath and got out. She wasn’t even sure if he was home, because his car was still in the shop.

Clara walked up the steps and knocked on the door. She could hear the steps of someone walking closer. She knew it was Noah because she could smell him.

When he opened the door his scent hit her even harder, it almost took her breath away. “Hey angel” his smile was so handsome.

It really made him look like an angel, not me. Clara cleared her throat “I, uhh left a few things here.” he smiled again. Goddess I wanted to melt right there.

“Come in,” Noah moved so she could walk inside. Her cheeks were flushed, with a rosy tint to them and it made him want to smirk at her. “I thought Wyatt got your things.”

“He did, me forgot a few things” he seen she was no longer looking at him.

“I’ll help you.” Noah offered as they made their way to the bedroom.

Clara walked in and went to the closet. She began grabbing the clothes that Wyatt forgot, “I have things in the bathroom if you want to grab them.” she told him looking up.

Noah nodded his head, “There should be a bag in there, for your clothes.” he said as he walked into the bathroom, he grabbed her tolitries that his cousin ‘forgot’ to grab.

When he walked out he set them on the bed, as he waited for her to get finished in the closet.

When she walked out she seen the items on the bed and came over and put them in the bag with her clothes.

Noah sat down in the arm chair in the corner just staring at her.

“Thank you, Noah! I guess I’ll see myself out-“

“No!” Clara turned to face him “what?” Noah dighed deeply. “Please don’t leave,”

She put the bag on the floor and crossed her arms. “Why would I stay, Noah? You are afraid of me remember?” Clara glared at him, she could feel her hurt slipping back into her heart.

“I know what I said. And I won’t lie to you, when you loose control you do scare me… but you also amaze me.” Noah didn’t move from his seat he stayed there.

He knew he hurt her.

She continued to glared at him. “I didn’t ask for these gifts Noah, and I damn sure didn’t ask for two fated mates.. I’ve been through hell since I found out I was yours and Wyatt’s mate.” she uncrossed her arms and took a few steps towards him.

“So yes if I loose control, be afraid. Because I don’t give a damn. I haven’t killed anybody with my magic that didn’t deserve it.” she snapped at him.

Noah just stared at her face it was full of anger and hurt.

It was sexy.

She’s lucky she was pregnant.

Getting fed up with everything, Clara just grabbed the bag and turned around to leave.

No matter what she said it never made a difference, he always turned it back around on her.

She couldn’t help how her aura affected some people.

Seeing that she was leaving Noah got up from the chair taking long stride over to her.

He quickly grabbed the back of her neck and turned her around crushing his lips to hers once she was facing him.

Shock hit her first, before her body relaxed into his grip.

Clara forgot suddenly what they were talking about when he planted the most passionate k**s on her lips.

Noah licked the bottom of her l*p and she parted hers slightly to give him access. He slid his tongue into her mouth, as he tasted every inch of it, trying to memorize every single spot with it.

If only she knew how much he missed tasting her. It’s been weeks but it’s felt like years since he’s tasted her lips.

Her hands moved up his rock hard chest, then slid onto his hair and gripping it firmly. Clara pulled at his hair when he deepened the k**s, she felt her body hit the stand in the hallway.

And when something hit the floor she parted by placing her hand on his chest. Noah looked down to see the lamp from the table now on the floor, he ignored it.

He looked back at her, his eyes locked with hers and he smiled. He missed seeing that look in her eyes. The want in them, but she didn’t want to give into it.

Noah places his hand on her cheek and smiled. “You are beautiful, I don’t care how much you f*****g scare me..” the light giggle made him smile even bigger, he then ran his hand into her hair where it was up in ponytail.

He didn’t like that, so he quickly pulled it down and continued, “but you’re mine, and I love you.” he k****s her again gently “So stop fighting it and just give into the mate bond my love.” Noah whispered against her lips.

She looked up into those mesmerizing hazel eyes, that always captivated her heart. “I’m not ready, Noah!” Clara told him softly as she pushed him gently with the hand that was on his chest.

Noah stepped back, a sigh leaving him as he watched her pick up the bag from the floor and begin to make her way out.

But before she was out of sight he said, “I love you, I will wait as long as you need me to..”

Clara stopped and looked over her shoulder. “I know. Thank you, Noah.” he smiled as she turned, rounding the hall.

She let a single tear fall from her eye knowing she couldn’t give him what he wanted , but it was also for how much he was respecting her wishes.

**********

A week later Clara g*****d at the sound of her alarm clock going off. “The weekend can’t be over already..” she mumbled into her pillow.

She grabbed her phone and turned the alarm off. As she sat up she felt a sharp pain in her back.

“Ow” Clara winced as she rubbed her back with both hands.

“Maybe a hot shower will help! What do you think, Clary?” she watched her wolf nod her head tiredly. “I know you’re just as sleepy as me. Only a few more weeks girl”

“She’s draining me.” she yawned and I giggled at her.

As I stood in the hot steamy shower my back still hurt but not as bad. Every 20 minutes or so it would get really bad.

“You’re gonna be late for school, let’s go lazy bones!” Chase yelled as he banged on the door.

Clara g*****d as she got out of the shower. As she got dressed she glared at the boards covering the hole in her wall. “Stupid powers!” she mumbled to herself as she zipped up her skirt.

She wasn’t in the mood to style her hair so she brushed it and let it air dry.

When she leaned down to grab her bookbag she let out a cry when she got hit with another pain.

Her bedroom door burst open, her father and brother breathing heavily like they ran a marathon. “I’m fine.” I lied, not knowing how to explain what I was feeling.

Victor let out a breath and smiled at her. “Are you sure?” she nodded “everything is all good”

Chase was eyeing her suspiciously. She wasn’t as perky as she normally would be, or sassy. “We’re gonna be late. You have got five minutes,”

“Yes sir” Clara gave Chase a salute before he walked off.

As the hours went by slowly, Clara was starting to become irritable and uncomfortable.

As Kelly, Josie, Mariah, Keith, Damien and Clara all sat for lunch she had no appetite. Clara rubbed her back with both her hands trying to ease the discomfort.

Keith got up and walked around the table. “Move your hands mama” he told her with a laugh. He’s been calling her that since he was told she was pregnant and it always made her laugh.

“Thank you!” she folded her arms on the table and rested her head on them as Keith massaged her back. It wasn’t really helping but it was the thought.

Mariah just like Chase was eyeing her suspiciously. “Clara, how far along are you?” she asked as she popped a fry in her mouth.

“I’m due in 7 or 8 weeks, why?” she didn’t even lift her head, but she did notice Keith’s hands stopped moving. “Keith!!!” she whined.

“Oh sorry,” he told her looking over at Mariah. “So a little over seven months!” she stated eating another fry.

“That’s early..” Josie said looking at her friend.

“I’m not in labor Mariah, its just back pain.” Clara told her friends.

“I’m going to the restroom!” Clara stood up grabbed her bag and walked out of the cafeteria.

“You don’t really think she’s in labor do you?” Damien asked Mariah.

“I do. I’ve noticed all day that she’s been really moody and uncomfortable.”

“Should we call her mates?” Kelly asked.

“No not yet. We all will watch her.” she said and bit into her burger.

After Clara did her business she washed her hands then splashed some water on her face.

“Clary, can you help with the pain please?” Clara begged her wolf, but she was asleep and not answering.

She shook her head then dried her hands and face.

After walking out, she saw Stacey walking her way. As she pased her she heard her mumble something but didn’t quite make it out. “What did you just say?”

Stacey turned around swiftly a smirk on her face, she looked at her then at her protruding stomach. It disgusted her that Wyatt would choose a Gamma over her.

“I called you a slut, Gamma!” Clara rolled her eyes, is she really still being petty over who her mates are?

“I really don’t have time for this, have a nice day, Stacey!”

As the bell rang and students started filling up the hall Stacey watched her go to turn away, “One question first.” she put her hands on her h**s with the best smile she could.

“Who is the father?” Clara stopped she pleaded she wouldn’t do this here. Nobody but the high raking famlies knew the details of her abduction but they didn’t tell them who did it.

“One of your mates? Or the guy that had his way with you when you were kidnapped?” Stacey watched as everybody around stopped and just stared at her.

“What? It’s a simple question!” she said.

“You don’t ask somebody that kind of question who has been abused you bitch.” a girl yelled from the back of the hallway.

They were taking her side? f*****g idiots.

Clara, couldn’t move, she didn’t know where her friends were, her back was killing her and she just wanted to go home. “Noah, can you come get me please?”

She felt people all around her, it wasn’t a negative energy, but a good one. Almost like they were protecting her? “I’m on my way angel”

“Noah’s coming” I whispered and I heard several people let out sighs.

A hand was placed on my back as a couple girls led me outside. “My name is Phoebe! I’m a junior. And I don’t agree with what, Stacey just did.”

“I agree, that’s nobody’s business but the high ranking families. She had no right to blurt it out.” I heard another girl say.

As I sat down on a bench by the sidewalk outside the school I realized the two girls that led me out had a mob of people following behind them.

“The baby, it isn’t…his.” I averted my gaze from the 2. I knew that everyone else heard me though.

“It wouldn’t have mattered. The Goddess don’t bless people without reason!” I smiled lightly at her remark. “What’s your name?”

“Tegan, and that’s Phoebe. My bestie.” I giggled lightly at her.

“Thank you, all of you…” I said looking at everyone else, I bit back a wince but I guess my face showed the discomfort.

“How long have you been feeling that?” Phoebe’s eyes lit up when she asked me that. “Since I woke up!” I mumbled rubbing my back.

I stood up again, not being able to stand the uncomfortable position I was in. I walked around back and forth.

I heard a car pull up to the school, I didn’t have to turn around to know who it was.

But before he got out, a sudden pain hit me and a small trickle went down my leg.

Did I just pee on myself? I looked down, feeling more come out.

“Noah?” I yelled in a panicked tone. It was red, is that b***d?

I let out a scream as an agonizing pain went through my body. “I’m here, what’s wrong? Is it…” he trailed off looking at the ground.

Noah didn’t ask anything else, he picked her up and carried her to his car.

As he sped off down the front of the school and down the highway, he kept glacing over at his mate. “Wyatt told me about the high b***d pressure. Could that be what this is?” he questioned.

“Probably, I don’t know!” Clara breathed out she couldn’t even sit up straight. She was leaned against the door and window praying it would stop.

“Do you feel like somethings wrong with the baby?”

He watched as Clara glared at him. “Well I didn’t until you said something!” she snapped at him. “and slow down,”

“You want me to slow down? Not with what I’m feeling through the mate bond honey, no way.” it was Noah’s turn to glare.

“Fine, if you’re gonna keep driving like you are in the NASCAR atleast put your damn seatbelt on.” Clara closed her eyes tightly and looked away from him.

If this baby was ready to come out it was too early.

Noah grumbled as he fiddled with his belt. It kept lockimg up on him and he was getting frustrated by it.

When he finally got it, he looked down to click it in then heard Clara scream his name and the sound of tires screeching.
