Triplet Alphas Gifted Luna novel Chapter 49

Chapter 49 Wolfsbane

“What’s going on, doctor?” Alpha Ulric said.

“It’s the wolfsbane,” Dr. Boman said. “I don’t know if a pregnancy would have taken hold, but the wolfsbane reacted to the werewolf semen inside her. It made her body identify it as poison, and now it has to expel it. This is a bad time to be losing more blood. We don’t have any more to give her.”

“Would the blood of unshifted wolves work?”

“Maybe,” Dr. Boman said, thinking. “I can test it before we transfuse it into the future Luna.”

“I’ll send out a call for any unshifted wolves, see if anyone is a match, and will donate,” Alpha Ulric said. His eyes glazed over as he mind linked the entire pack. He informed them their future Luna needed blood from an unshifted wolf. He told them the blood type, and if anyone could donate, come to the pack doctor immediately.

“Was I pregnant?” Thea said. Her voice was weak and raspy, but they had no trouble hearing her with their werewolf senses.

“Luna,” Dr. Boman said. He and the Alpha walked over to her. The triplets were sitting beside her, holding onto her, eyes red from crying. She was on a new bed. “If I’m right, you were a virgin before the mating ceremony?” “Yes,” Thea said.

“Then it had only been thirty-six hours. It can take up to ten days before you become pregnant. It takes time for the sperm to travel to the egg and fertilize it. Then it takes time for the fertilized egg to implant, and that’s only if you recently ovulated. It’s unlikely that happened before the wolfsbane reacted. Right now, your system is trying to flush out what it sees as poison.”

“Would I have been pregnant if this didn’t happen?”

“There’s no way to know for sure if you were or would have been,” Dr. Boman said. “It was too early.”

“Did this cause permanent damage? Can I still have pups in the future?” It took all her energy to speak, but she had to know. The triplets looked at Dr. Boman for his answer.

“I don’t know. Something like this, we’ll have to wait and see.” The triplets felt Thea’s heartache immediately. “You’ll have to wait until your body heals before you can try. Did you hear that, future Alphas? You cannot put your werewolf semen inside her until she’s healed, and we know the wolfsbane is completely out of her system.”

“Yes, doctor,” they said in unison.

“Luna, the more immediate danger is that you’re losing blood, and you don’t have a lot to lose,” Dr. Boman said. Just then, a group of parents and their children knocked on the door.

“I’ll be back as quickly as I can,” Dr. Boman said. He hurried away.

“We want to help,” the group said.

“Follow me,” Dr. Boman said.

He called in his nurses to start taking blood from the children. “Only a quarter pint each,” he said to the nurses.

He took the first donation and put a bit on the sheet with Thea’s blood. He looked at it under a microscope.

He focused and refocused the lens. Waited. Focused the lens again.

“I don’t see a reaction. I think it’s safe,” Dr. Boman said. He took the tiny bags of blood into Thea’s room. He hooked the first one into her IV and squeezed it to push it in as fast as possible. He put the next bag on and repeated the process. A nurse brought in several more. Lizzy burst into the room with Misty in tow. They took in the room—red-eyed triplets, worried Alpha, doctor and nurses working urgently, Thea pale, sickly, and hooked up to machines. Her eyes were closed. She looked dead.

“I’m unshifted,” Misty said. “Take my blood. You can take more of it than from the kids.”

“Does your father know you’re here?” Alpha Ulric said. “Yes,” Misty said. “I called him on the way. He’s okay with me giving blood. He may come to pick me up.”

“Okay. I’m going to call him but go ahead. Thank you, Misty,” Alpha Ulric said. He pulled his phone out and stepped out into the hall.

A nurse told Misty to follow her, and they walked out of the room. Dr. Boman continued squeezing little blood bags into Thea’s IV. The nurse and Misty came back a few minutes later. The nurse handed Dr. Boman a big bag of blood. He hung it.

“Let’s see how this does before we take any more. How are you feeling, Luna?” Dr. Boman said.

“Better, I think,” she said. Her voice sounded a little stronger.

“Not as tired.” She looked over to the triplets and spoke to their minds. “Will you tell him my stomach still hurts? In mind link?”

Kai’s eyes glazed over for a second.

“It’s going to take a while for the wolfsbane to work its way out of your system,” Dr. Boman said out loud.

Thea nodded.

Alpha Ulric walked back into the room. “Your father is coming,” he said to Misty. “Thank you for doing this.”

“Of course, Alpha Valko,” Misty said, being formal and using his surname since she wasn’t a part of the pack.

“Misty,” Thea said. Her voice was still raspy.

Misty approached the foot of her bed. “Hey,” she said.

“Thank you.” Thea smiled weakly.

“Of course. Are you going to be okay?” Misty said.

Thea looked at Dr. Boman. He squeezed the blood bag then checked her vital signs.
