CHAPTER 87
It’s been a few days since the dinner that Declan had for us, and since placing the tracker into Lila, but Declan has reported back to us that she has not been leaving the pack house grounds since it’s been inserted. I’m not sure if it’s a good thing or a bad thing, though. On one hand, I’d like to think that the Storm River Luna has been remaining faithful to her Alpha, but at the same time, I wish. she would make the wrong move just so Declan can get her out of his life.
Dr. Sands left the day after the dinner informing us that he wanted. to get back and start packing up his things for his move here, which until Declan can be rid of Dr. Langly, the good doctor will be residing in my pack.
It’s late evening and I’m beginning to shut down for the night, when I feel a pain through my lower back. At first, I pass it off ast nothing, just sitting in the chair so long. Just as I lock my office door, though, another one hits me, this time stretching all the way to the front.
“Not yet, little one! You can’t come for another few days. Dr. Sands isn’t here to help bring you into the world, so you need to bake just a few more days, at least.” I chuckle and rub my belly. Hopefully, all it is are those Braxton Hicks contractions.
I start heading towards the stairs to head up to my room when another pain strikes, sending me to my knees. I cry out at the pain that is flowing through my abdomen.
‘Tala, can you see if you can somehow contact Mace? I need Gavin!’
‘I can’t, Quinn. We are too far away from him and without being bonded yet, there is nothing I can do unless he’s within the house, but I can try.’
“He went out to oversee the training with Spencer,’ I tell her, ‘I’ll just reach out to the Beta, it’s fine.”
Just as I’m about to do it, though, I’m attacked with another pain and warm liquid bursts from between my legs, soaking the leggings that I’m wearing.
“Oh, Goddess!” Cici comes running as she tops the stairs and sees me on the floor, clutching my stomach.
“Gavin…” It’s all I can say through the pain.
“I already linked Spence when I heard you first cry out. I wasn’t sure what was going on, but it didn’t sound good.” She informs me, and I can’t help but to be grateful for such a smart friend.
“Here, help me up to my room.” I state, but the moment I try to stand, I double over once more.
“Um, Quinn, I think we should call Dr. Langly.” My friend’s voice becomes panicked.
When I look at her, my eyes move to where her eyes are and I gasp at the blood-tinged liquid that came out of me, “That’s not supposed to look like that, is it?” I ask, now panicking myself.
Cici shakes her head vigorously, “I don’t know! I’ve never been pregnant before, Quinn!”
“QUINN!” Gavin comes rushing over to me. He stares at the fluid on the floor, and I notice the worry lines that crease his face, “I’ve got you baby!” He picks me up bridal-style and takes me to my room as he orders Cici and Spencer to grab lots of towels and for
someone to get a hold of Declan to send the doctor.
As soon as we get to my room, he places me on the bed and then runs to the bathroom. I hear the water in the jacuzzi tub start before Gavin comes back out, “I think it’s best that you are in the tub if the baby comes before the doctor gets here.”
It’s been known within werewolf packs that if the pup is born under water, it can survive a while without having to cut the cord. There is no one here at the pack who can deliver a pup, not even Summer. Although the she-wolf has been excited since she learned that she will be working alongside a real doctor for a while.
“Gavin, I’m scare! Why is there blood?” I clench his shirt tightly.
“I don’t know, baby, I don’t know. I’m sure everything will be fine.” He undresses me carefully, and then lifts me back up to carry me into the ensuite.
