Filed to story: Alpha’s Regret – My Luna Has A Son
Numbness spreads over me, cold and uncaring, as I inhale a shaky breath.
The air thickens with the storm as it pelts the tin roof.
All my fight was gone, it left, and I was as dead as the bond I shared with him.
Yet deep down, I knew I had to move, I needed to get up.
Dragging myself to my feet, I stare at the door, swallowing down my sadness as I take a step toward it when it bursts open making me jump.
Istared at the darkness outside before a low, deep growl vibrated throughout the cabin as an enormous wolf I recognized not only by scent but by his fur to be John.
His paws made the floorboards creak as he stepped inside, and my legs gave out from under me, realizing I wouldn’t have to die alone.
Footsteps on the stairs outside reach my ears when John spots me.
“He’s dead,” I tell him.
His body relaxes, and Kalen steps in behind him, pushing the door open more, and John shifts back.I turn my gaze away, knowing he is naked.
John moves toward the bed, and I hear the blanket get yanked back.
“That he is.”
John states, and I look at Kalen, who nods at John’s words.
“Good.Now, what are you doing on the floor?” Kalen asks, and Iblink at him.
“Dying!” I laugh, rolling my eyes at him.
Great, now I was numb.I could joke about my own death.
“Nonsense, that’s what death looks like,” Kalen says as he points to Carter.
“Is that an antler?” John asks, holding up the bloody piece of bone.
Kalen shakes his head at John before turning his attention back to me.
“Well, time to clean this mess up,” Kalen says, moving toward me, and I snort.
He crouches in front of me.
“I killed my mate,” I tell him.
“So did I,” Kalen whispers, but I shake my head.
“Maybe not the same way, but I killed my Val.You know it,and I know it.What you did was brave.What I did was cowardly,” Kalen tells me, gripping my face in his hands.
“Now get up.You have a little girl to get home to.And I got grandbabies to meet,” Kalen says.
“I can’t go back like this.I won’t force Taylor to watch me die.She will not remember me this way,” I tell him.
“No.Taylor won’t have to remember you, Macey because you are not dying.Now get up!”
John says, and I look over at him to see he had stolen a pair of Carter’s shorts from the bag and slipped them on.
“What about him? Even if I miraculously survive, I killed someone in cold blood.He was no threat to me,” I tell them.
“Sadly, Carter won’t be missed,”
Kalen says, and to me that was truly sad because despite everything J knew he was just broken and twisted, yet he wasn’t a complete monster, I had seen parts of him that proved that.
“Yeah, but the courts and council won’t see it that way,” I tell them before coughing.
“If that’s the case, you never killed him.Just like you didn’t kill Preston, I did.” Kalen states, and I look at him before I heave.
Coughing, my throat felt extremely itchy.
Blood splatters the floor and covers Kalen’s already drenched shirt.
John steps forward as I choke on my blood.
When I stopped coughing, I knew it was pointless to worry because I would be dead long before I got home.
“Spose it doesn’t matter,” I tell them, holding up my hand, drenched in my blood.
Kalen looks at John, who nods, his eyes turn glassy, and he clears his throat before shaking his head.
John stalks toward me almost angrily as he rips me to my feet.
“You are not dying on us! So choose.Me or Kalen? Choose because I am not going home without you!” John growls.
I look between them when Kalen grabs a makeshift chair and John shoves me down in it.
“You will choose, Macey.Neither one of us wants the job of telling your daughter their mother is dead when we could have saved you,” Kalen says.
I swallowed, glancing between them and saying nothing.If I choose one, either way, I would be Valen’s new stepmother or Everly’s.
That thought disgusted me.I loved these two old fossils, but not in that sense, and after feeling the bond with Carter, I knew what marking one of them would make me feel towards them.
It was inevitable and so gross! Yet I also had no choice.
This was my chance to go home to my baby.
“Fine, paper, scissors, rock?” Kalen says, turning to John.
“You won’t choose.We’ll choose for you,” John adds.
I look at my dead mate on the bed, his body cold, and the two men that were old enough to be my damn father.I knew Valen or Everly would forgive me for marking one of their dads, yet it felt wrong.
The one person I wanted as a mate I couldn’t have, and my true mate, was dead because I killed him.
Panic courses through me as I watch them repeatedly tie, both of them becoming frustrated as I watch them shake their fists and both go scissors.
“This is ridiculous,” I mutter at the stupid situation I was stuck in.
Of course, not only did the moon goddess give me a shitty mate, but she made two old guys be the ones to find me and was now forcing me to choose between them to save my life.
Kalen curses when they both choose paper this time.
“You’re just going to have to choose, Macey.John or me? Which one is marking you?”
