Chapter 150 – Alpha’s Regret – My Luna Has A Son

Filed to story: Alpha’s Regret – My Luna Has A Son

So, for now, they were still babies A, B, and C. Moving to the chair beside the bed, I rocked baby B in my arms while Valarian dragged a chair over to the bed on the other side of Everly so he could kneel on it next to the bed. He places his hands on the side of the bed, peering at baby A sleeping on her legs, sucking on her fingers.

“They are so small,” Valarian whispers, stroking Baby C’s foot while Everly attempted to breastfeed, which she found harder with three babies and no supply. We had been supplementing with formula, yet she was still determined to try to give them as much breast milk as possible.

“Are you being good for Aunty Zoe, Aunty Macey, and Pop?” Everly asks Valarian, sweeping his hair from his face. I needed to cut it, it was getting too long, and he had been complaining his hair was messy. Zoe had tried to cut it for him, but he refused to let her touch it last night. Valarian looks at me. I swear that boy was too smart for his own good. The look he gave me was far too knowledgeable for a boy at age wait to see if he mentions Macey being gone.

“Yep! Pop brought Aunty Ava home,” he says before showing the baby the dinosaur plushie. Everly’s head whips to the side to look at me. “Ava is back?” she stammers the words out, and I nod.

“Carter gave her back. But we will talk later when Valarian isn’t listening,” I tell her. Her eyes well with tears, and she swallows but nods her head, turning her attention back to Valarian and the girls.

“Can I hold one?” Valarian asks excitedly, reaching for the baby on her legs.

“Wait! Wait, you need to be careful. Come here,” I tell him, and he climbs down off the chair and rushes over as I stand holding baby B in my arms.

“Sit in the chair, and I will help you hold her,” I tell him.

Valarian does, holding his arms out. I hold her, placing her in his arms but keeping a firm grip under her bundled butt and head in case he drops his arms.

Valarian looks down at her in awe and sniffs her little head.

“She smells like mum,” he says before kissing her little head. The baby squirms in my hands and opens her eyes, and Valarian gasps.

“She has our eyes, dad!” he squeals, inspecting them before smiling brightly.

“They all do,” I tell him, leaning closer to kiss his head. Valarian plays with her tiny fingers before he leans down, kissing her nose.

I kneel, my back hurting from the hard blue hospital chairs while holding her while Valarian coos and making babbling noises when my phone starts to ring in my pocket. The vibration makes me stand, and Valarian pouts when I take his sister away, setting her in the bassinet.

“Go sit with mum; I will be back in a minute,” I tell him, and he does while I pull my phone from my pocket.

Everly shuffles over carefully, and he climbs up next to her with my help. Once I see all the kids and my mate are secure, I walk out of the room because it was Marcus calling me when I saw the screen.

Shutting the door behind me, I quickly answer it. ” Forget to tell me something?” I snapped at him.

“I know. I know. You can kill me later. We need your help,” Marcus says, and I growl at him through the phone.

“Did you find her?”

“We think so. We have an approximate area. But the search area is too big. We need men out here. And we are in the forsaken territory. It would be good to have someone who has immunity besides your father out here to go in first,” Marcus tells me.

Fuck, my father and I both had some strange immunity to forsaken bites from the mutation handed down, which I kind of hope is handed down to our children. Few people knew about it, and it wasn’t something that we publicized, though, after the forsaken attack, they probably figured that with how many bites we both had with not getting sick. Alpha’s had a little more immunity to the venom. However, their bites had no effect on me and my father at all besides a burning sensation.

“Send me the coordinates, and I will send scouts and warriors out. I’m on my way,” I tell him, hanging up. Walking back into the room, Everly was already staring at the door, and I knew she would have been straining to listen, which was why I shut the door. I could feel her curiosity while I was on the phone.

“What is going on?” she asks through the mindlink while glancing down at Valarian, and I knew she could feel my worry and anger through the bond. I should be out there with my men.

“Carter has Macey,” I tell him, and she purses her lips. The look of fury on her face was as angry as I felt.

“So, why are you still standing there?” She replies, and I smirk before moving toward the bed. I lean over Valarian and peck her lips.

“Come on, Valarian, I need to drop you home.” I tell him, and his lip quivers, not wanting to leave his mother and sisters. I hated to be the one to break his heart.

“He is fine here. You can help me with your sisters, right?” Everly asks him, and he nods excitedly.

“I want to stay. I can look after mum,” he smiles.

“You should tell Tatum.” she mind links, and I knew she was right. Tatum had managed to use his crutches earlier and walked down to see us. I think he thought he would find Macey here because he looked pretty disappointed when he asked where she was, and I had no answer for him.

He had stayed for an hour or so and said he wanted to apologize to her and that he didn’t mean what he said. I got it; he felt useless not being able to walk properly and didn’t want to be a burden on her. The nurses scolded him for walking down because he had an infection in his leg that required extra surgery to clean it out. The nurses forced him back to his room.

“I will tell him before I leave,” I tell her, gripping Valarian’sface.

“Behave for your mother and stay in this room. Don’t leave. Your mother can’t chase after you right now,” I warn him, and he nods his little head.

“He’ll be fine. I’ll see you soon,” Everly says. And I nod to her, kissing each of the kids quickly.

“Make sure you come home to me. You are not leaving me with four babies to raise by myself,” she says through the mindlink.

“Not even the devil himself would stop me from coming home to you. Or them,” I tell her, and she nods, yet I could tell she was trying not to cry. She didn’t want me to go but knew I had to if we wanted to find

Macey and have everyone come home safely.

My father and hers could handle themselves, but we aren’t sure what they are walking into, and each new Alpha is stronger than their father. It means Carter is stronger than them, plus he was forsaken once, so we aren’t sure what it means in terms of his bite.

Leaving, I swing by Tatum’s room, stopping at the door. I didn’t know how to tell him Macey was in trouble, yet he had a right to know. He loves her and Taylor, and I knew he wanted her back after seeing him today. Swallowing guiltily, I pushed the door open to find a nurse in there checking his vitals while another was redressing his leg. He looks up at me. The room smelled sterile, and I could smell antiseptic strongly in here.

One nurse smiles, leaving while the other was redressing the wounds. Tatum looks over at me. “Late – night visit, Alpha,” he states, and I nod.

The nurse checks his dressings before nodding. “I’ll come back and finish up,” she tells him, and he nods his head at her. I wait for her to leave, and Tatum pulls himself up higher on the bed.

“Everything alright?” he asks. I sigh and shake my head, moving closer to the bed. “It’s Macey,” I tell him, and he instantly perks up at her name.

“Is she here? Did she bring Taylor?” he asks.

“Carter has her, Tatum.” His eyes widen, and he instantly tosses the blanket back. I grip his shoulder.

“Everly wanted me to tell you, I am going after her. But you are in no state to travel,” I tell him, trying to shove him.

“If it were Everly, would you be sitting around?” he growls at me, and I press my lips in a line.

“The doctor has told you, you can’t shift,”

“Fuck the doctors,” he growls, standing, and I grip his arm.

“I’m coming, Valen. That’s my girl and my daughter’s mother. You don’t get to tell me something like this and expect me to sit around and wait for you to return.” he snaps, and I curse. 3

“Fine, but we are leaving now, and you are to hang back when we get there,” I tell him, and he nods, though I had a feeling him hanging back with patrols wasn’t happening.

“Let’s go,” he growls, shaking my arm off and moving toward the door. When we step out, the nurse’s eyes widen.

“Tatum, you should–”

“Leave him,” I tell her, and she backs up as he moves past her, ignoring the worried look of the nurse. Yet nothing no one said was going to stop him from shifting. Not even the risk of losing his leg would prevent him from shifting to get to her if we tried stopping him.

Kalen POV

“What did he say?” I ask Marcus as he hangs up the phone. I start unraveling the new map we bought from the gas station on the hood of the car.

“He is sending scouts and is on his way,” Marcus tells me as we look over the maps with only a flashlight for light. We were trying to find some trails. We knew roughly where she was, but the forest was so dense that navigating through unfamiliar terrain even for us could end up with us becoming lost or walking straight past her without seeing her.

The signal was only weak and kept blinking out. So while we waited for Valen to send some men, we searched over different maps trying to find any sort of trail. John was walking along the forest edge, trying to pick up any tracks or scents, so we were at a standstill for now. We needed help
