Chapter 43
"He's dead?" I ask quietly, not quite sure I heard correctly the first time.
"Anna, everything is over, he's dead." Tyler assured me. He pulled me back into his arms and rested
his chin on the top of my head.
I let out a shaky breath.
"Good. I'm glad we don't have to deal with this any-" Suddenly I was cut off by a sharp pain in my lower
spine. I immediately started rubbing the spot with my hand, in attempt to sooth it.
"Anna what's wrong? What happened?" Tyler panics and turns me around to see what's bothering me.
"Oh I'm fine, I've just been getting weird little pains in my back." I shrug it off. "Do we have Cheetos?" I
ask randomly. I've been craving them for the past hour, I just didn't want to say anything.
"Let's take you to the pack doctor." Tyler suggests, well more like tells me.
"No no she's probably busy, I mean we just were attacked. Plus I made us an appointment tomorrow, I
have to get a checkup on the baby." My eyes wander down to the tiny baby bump. It's in there, and
tomorrow I'm going to get it a checkup, because it's still there.
But the seventy-percent chance is still there too.
"Let's head inside."
~•~
"I'm going to take a quick shower." I tell Tyler before I enter the bathroom.
"Okay, I'm going down to the office to finish something really quick." He lets me know before leaving
our room.
I went in the bathroom and shut the door. I took off my shirt, but turned to the mirror. My hand gently
ran across the small bump. My baby is in there, Tyler's baby is in there, our baby is in there.
I let out a sigh and stripped off the rest of my clothes. I turned on the shower, and the warm water shot
out of the shower head. Hopefully this will sooth my back pains.
I stepped into the shower and closed the glass door behind me. The inebriating water cascaded down
my back and over my baby bump. I grabbed the shampoo and squeezed some out onto my hand. I
massaged my scalp with it, creating a relaxing sensation. I took a deep breath, everything is going to
be okay. I'll have the baby and we'll be a happy family. Maybe if we're lucky we'll have another baby in
a couple years. Tyler and I will get married, and grow old together. Katy will find her mate, and we will
have family barbecues and dinners.
Everything will be okay.
I felt something tickle my leg, so I glanced down. A stream of crimson red ran down my leg and into the
drain.
I couldn't breath.
My head became light and the world started to spin. I tried to stabilize myself by placing my hands Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
against the tile walls. I slowly slid down to the floor, then curled up into a ball. Tears stung my cheeks,
but they were washed away by the shower water.
I couldn't speak.
I just sat in the corner of the shower, alone.
I wanted to cry out, but my body wouldn't let me. It's like I'm trapped inside a box and I can't get out.
The seventy-percent won.
"Anna, you okay? You've been in there for almost an hour." Tyler calls to me from the other side of the
door.
I didn't say a word, I just wanted to be alone.
Why did they have to take my baby? They took my brother, my sister, and my mother. Why couldn't I
have my baby? Why?
"Anna open the door!"
I want them to pay! They will pay for this!
Suddenly the bathroom door was knocked down. When he saw me, it's like he wanted to break down,
but he didn't say anything. Tyler quickly turned off the water and grabbed a fluffy robe off the door
hanger, he wrapped it around me and picked me up like a bride. I was limp in his arms as he ran out of
the pack house and outside, the cool air burnt my skin.
He swung the car door open and carefully placed me in like a piece of glass. Tyler gently shut the door
and ran to the other side. After he got in he started the car and sped out of the driveway.
"Tyler the dress." I muttered quietly.
"What? What dress Anna?!" He panicked but kept his eyes on the road.
"I never called her--Christina."
Tyler pulled into the parking lot of the pack doctor. We swiftly parked and Tyler immediately got out and
carried me to the entrance, and kicked the glass door open. "I need Dr. Kent know!" He yelled at the
women at the front desk.
The women nodded a bit frightened and quickly picked up the phone. One of the women loudly spoke
into the phone then hung up.
"Please, Alpha, go to the last room." Her voice was shaky.
Tyler didn't waste one second before rushing to the last room down the long hallway. He entered the
room and went straight for the examination table. He didn't put me down, but laid down with me in his
arms. Tyler held me tight and gently stroked my damp hair. My hands were clenched on his shirt, and I
wouldn't dare to let go. I listened to his fast breaths as if my life depended on it.
All I need is him.
