“I’m sorry, Lily, I understand now. I can only imagine the pain you're going through seeing someone carry his baby. I didn’t think of the consequences to my actions, not until I saw him. Not until I saw my mate and now I am too afraid to tell him and risk losing him”She whispers before putting her head in her hands.
“Do you think Damien will kill him?”
“Not if I have a say in it. Come on, do you know which cell is his” Tabitha looks up and nods.
“Come on,” I tell her. She hesitates for a second before looking down.
“I can’t Lily, he will find out” she says motioning to her belly. I smile through my jealousy as I stare at her bump.
“He is going to find out one way or another better to have two Alphas there when he does then be on your own” I tell her.
“You think Damien will let me see him?”
“We can only try” I say, walking toward the corridor. Tabitha jumps up, excitement on her face but also nervousness.
Tabitha walks down the corridor stopping at the door which has a guard placed out the front.
The guard nods in my direction before speaking.
“No entry Tabitha, the Alpha said no” He tells her and I see her eyes well with tears.
“Get the Alpha” I ordered and he looks at me before tapping on the door. I hear grunting before and the sound of skin hitting skin before I hear a loud thud. The guard knocks again when I hear a growl.
“The Luna wants you” The guard sings out. The door is suddenly thrown open and an angry Damien glares out. Tabitha darts behind me.
“What Lily?”
“Let her see him” I tell him, noticing his knuckles are all bloody. I pull my eyes away from his fists and look back up to meet his gaze, which is more of a glare and repeat myself.
“Let her see him, Damien. How would you like it if someone kept you away from your mate?”
“No” He says and I hear her whimper behind me.
“Damien, she is his mate, he won’t hurt her”
“You don’t know that Lily”
“What could he possibly do with two Alphas in the room?” Damien seemed to think for a second before standing aside motioning for me to enter.
As soon as I enter, I nearly throw up. Blood smears the walls everywhere, I nearly turn to Tabitha to not let her enter. No one should see their mate in that state. But it’s too late as I hear her gasp behind me.
The rogue looks up when he hears her, his eyes widening with recognition as he tries to stand only to fall back down. He was drenched in blood and completely naked. His ribs bruised like they were broken but were healing already his face was a bloody mess from Damien’s blows, yet the cuts were healed. How I was envious of his healing ability.
Tabitha went to run past me to him, but Damien’s hand grabbing her made her freeze. The Rogue growled at him and Damien turned to face him. The Rogue dropped his head before turning his neck in submission.
Grabbing Damien’s hand, I pried his finger from her arm, making him growl at me. Tabitha darted straight to the Rogue, who wasn’t able to hide his shock at her belly. It only lasted a second before she stopped in front of him, unsure. The Rogue tried to stand but stumbled slightly and Damien went to lunge at him but Tabitha was quick to his side helping him. The Rogue clung to her before wrapping his arms around her and hugging her. I heard Tabitha sob as he embraced her. He kissed the side of her face.
“You’re pregnant” He said slightly shocked, and I felt Damien step closer and knew if needed would shove me out of the way to get to her if he tried anything. I stepped aside to allow it if he did, which made Damien look down at me questionably.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t know I would find you” Tabitha whispered.
“It’s okay, it’s okay we can work this out” He reassured her. I could tell by the way he spoke he truly meant it. I could tell it hurt him like it did me. Yet he didn’t care, he was just happy he found his mate. I was in awe of the mate bond at that moment. I couldn’t help but feel happy for her.
His hand rubbed her back before he couldn’t stand any more and fell back to the ground. Tabitha went to sit beside him, but he shook his head.
“The ground is cold and wet, don’t sit you will get dirty”
Tabitha ignored him and went to sit anyway, before she could sit on the ground, he pulled her onto his lap. His arms wrapped around her before his other hand went to her belly. I see Damien tense before he rubs her belly and kisses the side of her face.
