Posing for the Omega (For the Alpha #2)(28)
Alpha’s eyes narrowed his ears flattening on his skull. “I do not know her entire story, but I do know she claimed not to be blood related to Vey. That could have been her misleading us. I do not see that it is possible for two seperate foundlings to have made it into the same pack and be brought up in the same litter and of the same age.”
My heart cracked like dry clay in my chest as his words solidified what I’d kinda already knew. She had lied and there was no way to know what else she had lied about. What was I going to do if everything she’d told me wasn’t true? Whining deep in my throat I curled into my mate seeking comfort only he could give me. Everything in this pack had been fine before I came here. I was the reason everything was falling apart piece by miserable piece. I was so deep in stage 4 depression I doubted my ability to claw my way out of the deep inky grips of my own grief.
Zora shifted, his form contorting quickly around me until he had flush gold skin and arms to wrap around my massive form. “No matter what I will protect you, our pups, and this pack. I swear it.” He kissed along the edge of my muzzle one of his hands resting posessively over the swollen curve of my belly.
With all the comfort he doused me in I didn’t want to voice my concerns. There was no reason because I didn’t think much could change it. My concern being— who would protect him?
“Ira wake up!”
A sharp prod to my side woke me and sent me rolling sideways onto my swollen belly. Like a turtle on its shell I wiggled my arms for a few seconds as the last minutes of sleep fell away and I could figure out why I was unable to get my balance. PORK PISS! No she wolf ever says how hard it is to be pregnant. Another shove to my side sends me rolling onto my back where I could stare up at my annoying brother. “I hate you.” What evil creature woke a pregnant wolf like that? Koda that’s who! Grumbling I wiggled to sit up, something Zora had been helping me do lately since it was getting increasingly harder to do on my own.
“Yeah sorry about that, let me help.” Koda was in his two form, his hand grasping my larger one as he pulled me up into a sitting position. “I need you to hurry something happened!” He shifted anxiously his eyes darting back towards the den opening and to me again. “I don’t know how long we have.”
My stomach lurched and my heart took up an unhealthy rhythm. Had something happened? Was another pack member hurt? Was Zora— I looked around my den desperately for my alpha. “Where’s my alpha!” Terrified I tried to scramble to my feet as quickly as possible my stomach throwing off my balance. I stumbled but Koda caught my hip and helped me get to my feet with a noticeable grunt.
“Calm down!” Koda grasped my arm once I was standing to hold me still.
My heart continued to race as I tried to drag him out of the den with me, unable to wait for what he had to say. If something had happened I needed to be with Zora to make sure—
“Ira stop! Alpha is ok! Please calm down I didn’t mean to scare you.” Koda gasped as he dug his bare heels into the earth trying to anchor me to a stop.
His words stopped me faster than his sad attempt at stopping me did. What the hell was wrong with him! “BARFING BIRD BLOOD YOU GAVE ME A HEART ATTACK!” I might have screamed that a little too loud, but he had scared the fucking moose piss out of me. “What is so important you had to rush in and wake me up! I’m making babies over here and you’re trying to kill me!” My nostrils flared as I glared down at my brother, who - granted - looked chastised.
“I know you’ll want to see this. I might have been a little excited when I came in but I know this will make your day. Hell maybe your year!” Koda fidgeted back and forth as he grabbed my arm again and began leading me out of the den.
Make my year? Curiosity was quickly scrubbing away at my irritation as I followed him out into the early morning sunlight. Other pack members were up getting ready for the day as we past by their dens and towards the east side of the pack. What could possibly have Koda vibrating with such— Holy mother porking nature. A laugh burst from me the moment I saw what he’d wanted me to see and trust me I knew it was what he’d gone through the trouble of waking me up for. I was so happy that he had now.
Naga frowned furiously from the pole she was securely tied to. The same pole that Svara had been tied to the day before. How had she managed to get herself in the situation was your guess cause I had no idea whatsoever. Zora looked up from where he stood next to her and spotted me and Koda a few feet away. He looked thoroughly irritated with the entire thing and yeah I could see were having one of his strongest wolves tied to a post and also letting our prisoner escape— oh moose farts! Where was Svara! “Where is Sv-”
“Right here preggers.”
A arm wrapped around my neck from behind and sharp claws dug into my hip just enough to bite but not draw blood. Koda shouted and stumbled as the luperci knocked him to the side with a well placed kick to the ribs. “Koda!” I surged forward only to be held tighter by the constricting arm around my throat. A loud roar clashed around us as Zora rushed towards us on all fours stopping just short when Svara put a sharp claw over the my pregnant belly. This was bad, this was so bad. I wiggled and whined as I tried to think of anyway out of this situation. “Please don’t hurt my pups.” Mother, I couldn’t lose them. Anger and fear pulsed through me in hard waves making me shake visibly.
