Chapter 28
Jesse pov
It's been three years since I found married and made Mary mine. We still had not found Edith or the Greene's. deciding to let it go and just keep an eye out for them. These past three years have been amazing. There have been many new wolves joining the pack and new pups being born. Tom and Tim both have pups at the same time. Tom had a boy named Elijah and Tim had a girl named Marie. Mary had settled into the role of Luna amazingly. She is the mother of the pack. We both wanted pups but it's been taking longer than we thought to have them. Jonah told me a few months ago that the goddess was just giving us some time to make up for the years apart.
The last few days Mary has been moody it was not just I who was suffering from the ever-changing Mary. Everyone had taken a hit. None of us can even get mad because in the next breath she's crying apologizing over and over. Some days I wonder if this is how they all saw me when I was in my grumpy stage. I hear her heavy steps coming towards the study. Looking at the window groaning when I see I had closed it so I am trapped. She closed off her emotions to me a week ago so I have no idea why she is so mad at me. She hops in the room “hi” she sings out. Looking around trying to figure out what is going on this is yet another Mary. “my moon” I say carefully she smiles brightly. I don’t know what caused this Mary to show up but she's cute. I think to myself. “can we go for a walk?” swallowing I nod. Standing I link for tom to come to finish the payroll. I was not passing time with a happy Mary she hasn’t been too happy lately.
Walking through the woods towards my cave. I haven't been here for years now. I have not felt the need to hideaway. She's dancing along looking young and so full of life. Getting to the cave I see she's cleared the front and you can see inside. Inside she has a blanket laid out with a basket full of things. Grabbing my hand she pulls me inside. “I want to tell you I’m sorry for being so crazy the last few weeks. I went to town and saw the doctor. We need to have a wolf train as a doctor for the pack.” she rattles off. Smiling at her waiting for her to get back to what she was talking about. Waving her hands in the air “we can talk about that later. So the doctor ran his test and turns out we are gonna be parents.” her words shocked me speechless. Staring at her I look down at her stomach. Reaching out I touch her stomach lightly. “if my nose worked I would have smelled it on you sooner.” both sadness and excitement ran through me. I feel tears trying to form. She places her hand on mine looking at me. “my world doesn’t fret over what we cant change. Your nose does not take away from you being alpha or the ability to be a good father.” her voice so full of power it's turning me on. Growling at her playfully. She growls back but puts her hands up. Great crazy is back this will be a long six months. She giggles out “I don’t know what I want first you or the food ugh.” smiling at her and the tough dissension she has to make.
If I had known this was my last six months with Mary or that having my pup would end her life I would have made different dissension. Three months after finding out she was carrying a pup she started to become ill all the time not able to keep anything down. She was not healing as we heal. Her idea about having a pack doctor was smart so she had added it to the list of jobs for the pack. Also adding it to her list of still needs a person to do it list. Suzette, Rose, and her had been making this list not long after Mary started working at the school with them all. They would then learn about the job and tell the pups about the jobs that would benefit the pack and ones we want that don’t have yet. If they must go out for more training we pay for them to do so. Mary always said “you get what you give” Mary had started becoming very ill not eating or keeping down anything she did eat. At first, we thought it was normal as we had seen other she-wolves like this. but when it kept going we worried. We all could see there was a problem with our eyes but even the doctor couldn’t find the cause. Both Tim and tom send out telegrams and messengers to other packs and wolves looking for answers.
We got answers in the form of a small witch who appeared out of thin air at the border. “I am here to steak to your alpha” she demanded. Not liking another witch on my land I had no other choice this was the person to answer my call for help. “escort her to my study” I had linked back. Linking for Betty to come to watch over Mary while I go talk to the witch.
Entering the study I see the small girl. “I am alpha Jesse and you are?” my hands behind my back “I am pearl Goldenlight and I believe I know what is wrong with your Luna.” nodding for her to continue. “may I see her?” I wanted to say no but I was not given that option as Mary walked into the study. The little witch looked her up and down the walked up to Mary holding her hand out.
