The Big Sky Alpha novel Chapter 83

COLT POV

It’s been a month since Jessi announced she’s pregnant. The two girls have spent a lot of time together. Freya is still recovering from that wolfsbane and I’m getting more and more worried about her making it through delivering one pup let alone two.

She has been doing everything she’s been told but she still can’t use her abilities and shifting is still very uncomfortable. I’ve asked a gamma to run down to the vehicles to call her father and see if he can use his abilities to speak with the goddess on her behalf. Just waiting for him to get back here.

Our security has been greatly modified and hopefully we’re impenetrable. Not that I’m expecting another attack of any kind, but the idea that anyone was able to sneak through our guard and into my home and room and kidnap my pregnant wife just didn’t sit with me.

I didn’t sleep for a while after that happened, anytime I did I’d dream she was taken again and wake back up. Given how much it’s taken out of her I’m still feeling very responsible.

She could be having the pups any day now, and I am terrified she might not make it. I’ve been training extra hard lately because I just don’t know what to do to help and I hate it.

“Alpha!” Gamma Reyes hollered out to me.

“Did you speak with him?” I asked since he got back rather quickly.

“I did alpha, he said he needs to have you call him immediately.” He said sounding a little out of breath.

I turned to Levi, “So you think you can cover for me with Freya until I get back? It shouldn’t take long, she might not even need anything.” I asked him.

“Of course alpha. Jessi has her pretty occupied these days with the delivery being so near.” He said.

I shifted and took off. I reached the cars quickly and I shifted back and called her father.

“Alpha Harland sir, you wanted me to call you?” I began.

“Yes, Misty and I will be coming to you tomorrow to be there to help with the babies and Freya. I need to ask your permission to bring a medication for her.” He said.

I’m surprised he’s asking. If it were my daughter I’d have just brought it and said too damn bad. “Of course Alpha. Anything that might help her. I won’t lie Harland, I’m really worried about her making it through the delivery.” I felt I needed him to know my concern.

“This is why we are coming. I’m going to perform my minor healing on her daily, she will take this medication our pack doctor has for treating wolfsbane victims, and I will be communicating with the goddess tonight before we leave.” He’s trying hard to sound like his normal self but you can hear the worry in his tone. Facing something like this with your only daughter has to be troubling.

“I just don’t understand why this is so different for her than all my warriors that were shot with bane covered weapons.” I told him.

“You said she was injected in the neck? Possibly more than once?” He asked.

“Yes, our healer estimated at least twice.” I told him.

“It was direct in her blood stream, then to top it off he probably gave her a lethal dosage since he likely had no clue how much to do. He could have given her a lethal dosage each time and her body held on when it shouldn’t have. Probably because of her abilities and how strong she is. I’m just hoping my healing will help her.” He said.

“I didn’t think of any of that, I just thought her body maybe was weakened because of the babies. Why wouldn’t your healing work?” I asked.

He sighed, “Well, it’s minor healing. It’s meant for cuts and scrapes instead of stitches and maybe a sprained ankle or something in battle. I’ve not even tested it on anything above that. I have no clue how it will work with something like a broken bone let alone this.” He said.

I hadn’t thought about it being minor healing. Probably explains why she didn’t use it on Levi when he got hurt. We both sat in silence a moment, “I guess we just pray and we’ll find out.” I said.

I headed up to the pack, Levi said the girls were fine. I thanked him and informed him that her parents were coming tomorrow and to ready their hut.

I went home to Freya and told her they were coming. I’m not sure if it was supposed to be a secret or not, but I can’t hide it from her. She seemed excited. I think the idea of having her mom here with her while she has them makes her feel a little better about it all.

In bed she began kissing my neck, rubbing my shoulders, and whispering in my ear. I knew what she wanted. Part of me really wanted to stop her, she’s too weak she needs her energy.

The other part of me thought about the fact that I might not have much longer with her, and do I really want to think back to these days and remember not having her when she wanted or worrying so much that I didn’t fully enjoy the last of my times with her.

“I love you Freya. You changed me. Meeting you was best day of my life. I was a cold, mostly heartless man that just cared about my pack and didn’t think actual happiness was real. I knew that part of me was gone the second I saw you in the River that day. You’re my world.” I told her.

I laid her back on the bed and made sweet passionate love to the woman the goddess gave me to have and to hold for the rest of my life. The woman who would soon be bringing my babies into this world. The woman who has my entire heart. My Freya.
