I hold Kacper's hand as he lies on the hospital bed. He has been in here for I don't know how long anymore. I really hoped he would wake up after a few days but months have passed now since everything happened. He has been in coma since that time and the doctor assured me that he was fine. I could hear the change of his heart beat getting stronger each day and it also gives me strength knowing he's getting better.

Eldon Jason Cephas is the newest member of our family. He is a werewolf since his mother took all the magic that he had when he was born. He's quiet tough to handle but I'm managing it. My parents came home a week after and mum has been helping me with EJ. He could have really died if no one had stepped it to block the attack that Joyce sent to him. I really felt bad that I had no strength to do anything and because of that, Kacper got hurt.

While blocking the attack, he put a lot on the risk. He was weak and pregnant; such thing could have killed him. I'm very glad he survived even though it was a hustle the first time he was here. I couldn't sleep not knowing when my mate would be dying again. The doctors helped to bring him back in all the times he stopped breathing.

Then he started bleeding a lot and we all feared that he might have miscarried but he didn't. I could still feel a pup in him and now that he was more than four months pregnant with one month or weeks before delivery, he's pregnant stomach was big. I only wish that he must be conscious when the baby is born. Our connection was strong now that the child was big and I couldn't wait to meet them.

I also worry about what the future holds for me and my mate. I don't expect him to forgive me but a chance to start over is all I hope for. I learned a lot when all this happened and I plan to make things right between us. I want us to start a happy life with our children and forget the past.

"Alpha," a voice sounds from outside the room and I kiss Kacper's forehead with a promise to come back then I walk out.

"What is it Kyle?" I ask my beta who had called me out of the room.

"The prisoners are ready and we are waiting for you to give their punishments." He explains and I sigh. He was talking about Joyce and her coven.

After Kacper had passed out, the whole room got silent but then everyone became angry and the witches had no chance of winning a fight. They were outnumbered and faced with raged wolves and witches. They were put in the packs prison waiting for their punishment to be passed. I had been busy with my mate and I couldn't handle anything at that moment.

In total there are thirteen witches including Joyce. Knowing magic is what a witch values most, I asked Cadmael to take away their ability to do magic. He couldn't do it all at once because he was weak but he managed to do one at a time until now that Kyle tells me they are ready.

"There is nothing to say and I know you already figured out what punishment I'm to give them." He nods then leaves.

Joyce and the rest, both have to be killed for breaking so many pack rules. They will be beheaded today before the sun sets. I walk to my office and once I'm inside before I sit, a knock sounds on the door and it opens. Michael walks in and we greet each other.

"We've to be going back home since he finished all you asked for. He is worried about his friend and won't do well for his health at the moment. I hope you understand." I nod at his words and let them go back home. They've helped out a lot and I'm so glad they came that day. I couldn't keep them here longer and I had no choice but to allow them to go back.

I came to my office to read about something that has recently came up. Other surrounding packs have been sending request that I take over them as their king. They want to crown me as an Alpha king and there are more than 75 packs requesting for that. I really do not know what to do about it and I plan to call for a meeting with the division Alphas to see what they think about it. Taking care of five packs was a bit easier and I know being King to more packs will take a lot more from me. I had to be strong and presentable but currently I was none all that. I could only be that if my mate wakes up and we resolve our issues, so I had to wait and ignore the request for now.

"Alpha, your brother in law is here."

Kelvin.

It's about time he appears and I don't know how our meeting will end. I'm pretty sure that he's mad at me and I have nothing to defend myself for. I dismiss the warrior that announced the arrival of Kelvin and slowly pack things on my desk and put them in their places. I walk out the office and the house, to the clearing where I spent the night with the guys the day before the ceremony. I see kelvin with his back to me and I walk in his direction.

"Do you remember what I told you the night we went for a walk?" He ask without looking at me when I near him. "Was it hard to do what I told you not to? Now he's in coma on a hospital bed for two months and some weeks because you messed up. Not forgetting that he is pregnant with your child." He finally turns around to me. "Why did you do it?" He yells at me and I whisper a sorry to him.

My head turns to my left due to the force of the punch that Kelvin sends my way. The warriors that followed me here to look out for me start to come forward but I stop them and tell them not to interfere.

"Wrong answer, Elijah. You better have a good reason than that you're sorry." He growls and punches me again. This goes on for some time and I don't fight back because I know he is frustrated and angry. I'm the perfect person whom he should take out his frustration on. He then stops and falls down on his knees with tears in his eyes. I get down too and wrap my arms around him.

"You should probably expect the worse when he wakes up. He has reached his limit." Kelvin says with a sigh after calming down.

I can only hope that is not the case when he wakes up. I get called in by mum to take EJ and so I leave the clearing.

I put EJ on his bed in Kacper's hospital room, which I had suggested so that I could not leave my mate alone for the night. I didn't feel like eating so I skipped dinner tonight. I take a bath and then prepare for bed as well in Kacper's room. I lie beside him and take his hand in mine. I press my other hand on his stomach and feel as the baby moves around in him. After some time, I fall asleep still holding his hand in mine.

***

My eyes land on Kacper as he looks directly to me the minute I wake up the next morning. My eyes study his for a moment and I find something a bit off about his eyes but I don't care as the fact that my mate is awake and staring at me has me sitting up on the bed and say his name happily.

I look at my mate, wondering what is up with that statement. Once again I notice the eyes and I've looked in them enough times to know they are now different. My wolf growls and in that moment I realize something. Kacper's wolf has eyes like these. Can it be that I'm talking to it right now?

"What?"

"No I'm not tired. I just want to talk to Kacper." I reply.

I only nod and then he closes his eyes only to open again soon after. I look into the familiar eyes that tears start to drop down from. I move closer to him asking what is wrong and if anything gives him pain. He nods and starts with his hands on his chest and muttering that it hurts. I stand up preparing to link the doctor when his words stop me.

"I lost my baby." He cries and I sit back and hold his hand, assuring him that the child is fine.

"No!" He shouts, snatching his hands away from me. "I lost my child, Elijah."

"No you didn't. You still have a child in you, Kacper." I disagree.

"You don't understand." He sobs and I just stare at him speechless. "I had two in me and now I've only one. I lost one of my babies." He cries harder and my world comes crushing down on me.

"I...I..." Nothing comes out of me and I just sadly look at my crying mate. He says we lost a pup and I had no idea it happened. He was carrying two but now he has only one. I watch him cry and I hold his hand to let him know I am there.

"I want to leave."

"What?" What does he mean he wants to leave?

"I'm leaving you, Elijah." He repeats and my heart breaks.

"Why?"

"I need time to figure things out between us. You hurt me so badly and those wounds are still fresh. Being near you and this place won't help me heal that is why I need to leave." He explains and I shake my head.

"You are pregnant and you need me to help out."

"I will have Cadmael cast me a spell that will keep me fine even if I will be far from you. So you should let me leave Elijah."

I stand up from the bed and start pacing. He wants to leave me for good and I know it. I also know that since I was in the wrong in all this, I have no right to keep him here. If he thinks being away from me will make him heal, then I have no choice but to let him go. He has every right to leave and come back or not if he want.

"Okay," I agree and walk out the door as tears start to roll down my face.
