"Sleep my female, I will be here protecting you." I mumbled against the skin of my beautiful mate. I had finally marked and mated with the most beautiful woman on this earth, and I was completely satisfied and in bliss. Nothing could destroy this. This was everything.
I should have known, that all the females I have previously been with, would be nothing, when compared to my soulmate. Here I have the perfect female and mate, and I can not help but feel guilty and remorseful about all the females that came before her. While my female stayed pure for me. How did I manage to get such a perfect soulmate?
I pulled Emily's body closer to me, but it was not enough. I could never be close enough to this perfect Goddess, and I buried my face in the crook of her neck, and inhaled her glorious scent. Pride filled my being as I could pick up on our scents mixing with each other. This female was all mine, and now everybody could smell it. She was carrying my mark.
I was so happy. I have never felt happiness like this before. My life was complete, and for a moment I forgot about everything else. Emily was all I would ever need. The moment of our marking is not something I will ever forget, the moment we became one. The immense happiness I felt, and the feeling of being completed, but there was something else as well. For just a short moment I was able to gain access into her mind and memories, but just as quickly as I had, Emily shut down the link between us. She did not want me inside her head and I wondered why. The only memory I did manage to see, did leave me quite distraught. It felt as if I was trapped in a small child's body while hiding in the dark, and I was afraid, while pain was coursing through my system. Even if it was only a memory, I could still smell the scent of blood, and hear flesh being torn apart.
This was the only memory I managed to see, before our connection was shut down, and that memory left me in horror. That memory was something Emily had experienced as a child. What kind of dark secrets are my mate hiding from me? I knew it would be a long while before she would trust me, but I had to know what she had experienced and I hoped that one day, she would feel safe enough to open up to me.
But I knew I had a long way to climb before we would be there. I had already managed to cause my female a life time of hurt, and I barely knew where to begin to make things right. But I will try my best. I already know that she is the love of my life, and I will not let her go. No matter what. I will fight for my female. I just know that everything will work itself out, once I get Cassandra out of my life. Emily will learn to love my son and we will have a happy life together.
A pestering pressure in my mind disturbed my moment of peace with my female. I had shut down my mindlink with the outside world, so I could be fully present in the now with Emily. For just a small fraction, I thought about ignoring whoever was trying to reach me. I did not want to disturb my happy bubble with my mate, or disturb her peaceful sleep. My female was tired, and I did not want anything to mess with us while she was in heat.
But I also knew she would be exhausted after our mating, and with her heat still disturbing her body, so against my better judgement I still opened up my mindlink. I was still the Alpha of my pack, I had to be responsible. Even though it sucked.
"Alpha Kane." The voice of my packdoctor Crowley reached my mind.
"What is it?" The annoyance was clear in my voice as I answered. God damn it, if Crowley is disturbing for something as small as someone getting a little hurt during training, I will destroy him.
"I'm so sorry to inform you, but Luna Cassandra is bleeding again, and I don't think I will be able to stop it this time."
My heart skipped a beat as I listened to Crowley's words. "What do you mean, Crowley?"
"Something has affected Cassandra, I don't know what. But she was in pain and then your mate mark disappeared and she started bleeding heavily..." Crowley continued with a monotone voice, there was no ounce of emotion in his voice, and I was growing more annoyed with him.
"And what does that mean?" I asked him. Because I needed to hear him say it. I wouldn't believe him if he didn't.
"It means, that your son will more than likely not make it. It is also a question if Cassandra will. Worst case scenario, we might have to open her up surgically, and remove her uterus if I can't stop the bleeding."
"You will stop the bleeding and do not kill my son. I will be there shortly." I yelled back to Crowley and shut off our link.
I was about to jump out of bed, too lost in my own thoughts with fear and panic, when I realised I was not alone in the small cabin. I still had my arms around my female, and yet I managed to forget about her presence. But her touch still managed to calm me down so I could think straight. I needed to think straight, now is not the time for panic.
I had to get back to the clinic as soon as possible. I had to save my son, Emily would have to understand my priorities, it's my son we are talking about after all. I carefully let go of my female who continued sleeping, and I climbed out of the bed and put my clothes back on. I still need to wake Emily up so we can leave this cabin.
"Baby..." I whispered and gently shook Emily's shoulder. But there was no reaction. If it was any other situation I would find it cute, but at this moment we had to leave this instant.
"Baby, come on wake up." I shook her a little bit more forcefully this time, and the only reaction I got was a groan as she continued sleeping. And I could feel her naked skin heat up at my touch.
Fuck. I forgot about her heat.
I can't be at two places at once. I watched my beautiful female lying asleep on my bed, only a sheet covering up her naked body, and her beautiful red hair was spread out on the pillow like a halo. She was the meaning of true beauty, and I was so tempted to stay and just watch her sleep. Count the freckles covering her little nose. Her pink lips were still swollen from being covered by mine, and I wanted nothing more than to just kiss her again.
I closed my eyes and sighed. I could feel my eyes watering as I thought everything over. I had to make a choice right now. My son or my mate.
I could not abandon my son. My heir. He is the most precious thing in my life. I need him to stay alive. I need him to live, and be the Alpha heir I need. I love my female, but she is weak, only a delta. She will not give me a strong heir and Blood Stone will suffer for it. I need my first born to survive. But I did not want to hurt Emily by leaving her either, I knew she would not forgive me for this. For leaving her and choosing my other family again.
I need to somehow make it possible, for me to be at two places at once, but there is no magical way. I will just have to make time for both my son and mate. As soon as Crowley gets a handle on Cassandra's bleeding, I will get back to Emily and take care of her needs. Her heat will make her hungry and I'm more than happy to feed her.
I tried once again to wake my female up, but she was dead to the world. I sighed, but a smile still managed to creep up on my face as I observed her. I felt as a pervert when I pulled down her sheets, but I was not going back to my pack with my female only wearing a sheet around herself. I pulled down the sheet to her lower abdomen. And I really tried to resist, but I could not help but stare at her beautiful breasts. I already knew how perfect they feel in my hands, and her nipples had already stiffened by the cold air hitting them.
