Chapter 88
Claire's POV
I knock lightly on the large wooden door and wait patiently for my aunt or uncle to answer. I hear footsteps coming so I lightly step back. I look down at the welcome mat that says 'all canines welcomed' I laugh knowing my aunt probably picked this up in some human store.
The door open and I look up to see who answered, I'm surprised to see my Father. His dark hair is combed to his head, skin not nearly as pale as mine, frame shorter than most werewolves and blue eyes holding no love for me.
"Oh hi dad....I didn't know you'd still be here" I tell him
"Of course I'm still here, it's my duty to look after my alpha I'm his second in command for a reason" he stands tall and looks past me
I look away
"right sorry....is Mom in there?" I ask
"She went to fetch the pack doctor...he's feeling worse" my Father says and I nod as he walks past me
I step in and pass the kitchen and enclosed office that leads out to the beautiful back yard. I walk up stairs to where I know my uncle and aunts bedroom is. I used to come here as a child to get away from my parents or Beverly. They've always treated me so kindly and frown upon the way my parents treat me differently and even though they are Alpha and Luna they can't do anything about it.
I smile when I reach the top of the lavish stairs and look into there room. My uncle lays up in bed while my aunt sits in a chair next to him, his hand rests on her swelling belly and they smile at each other.
I knock on there open door and they turn to me, keeping there smiles "Claire" she calls me by my full name
"Aunt May" I smile and hug her
I bend down and rub her belly
"hey there my little cousin" I say and we both giggle
"Get over here my favourite niece" I hear my uncle say, his hair is similar to my mothers but darker, he's the strongest man in the pack, he's brave, loyal, and honest-all the traits of an amazing alpha13
I laugh and walk past May while she follows behind
"don't let Beverly hear that" I laugh and climb on the bed to hug him
He groans a little so I quickly detach and sit back on the end of the bed
"how are you feeling alpha?" I ask and he smiles lazily and lay's back
"I'm alright just a little chest pains, I'll be good as new by tomorrow" he says and encloses his hand in mine
"I hope so, we'd all run wild without you" I laugh and they join in
"Are you hungry Claire? I'll go get you something from downstairs" May says before I can even respond she stands and starts to the door, but not before she hold onto the door for support, her legs seeming to go limp for a moment. We both ask if she is alright and she looks back at us and nods.
"Just tired, this big belly makes me unbalanced sometimes" she laughs lightly, her face paler than usual but she lightly rubs across her stomach. I hope she's not coming down with the same thing.
When I look back over at my Uncle he stares off at his beloved Wife and mate
"only a couple more months and I'll meet my Son" he says calmly and I smile
"Are you excited?" I ask smiling from the love he has for them
"One day you'll know....the excitement you'll feel to share a child with your mate" he says still staring after her
"I hope so" I say quietly knowing I'll never treat me and my mates children like my parents treat me
My uncle starts to cough profusely and I step off the bed and pat his back. I hear May coming up the stairs and when she gets into the doorway her face is flushed and eyes hardly held open. She holds a tray with a pitcher of lemonade and a couple of glasses on it.
"May?" I ask as she sways from side to side
Just as she starts to fall I gasp and run over to her as soon as possible. She falls to the ground before I can catch her. I lift her head and hear her gasping for air, I throw her arm over my shoulder and help her into the bed next to her mate.
They cough together and Lycan grabs her hand and try's to help her sit up. I don't know what to do. My breathing is rapid and hard "go...help" my Uncle says placing a hand on his wife's cheek
I nod and run down the stairs as quickly as possible, tripping down the last three. I scurry up and out the door, looking for a way to go. I have to get our pack doctor, Sonia. I curse seeing training going on in the middle of the pack. I quickly run through as many as the wolves as I can but gasp when two wolves slam in front of me as they train fight.
I try to look over the large area of training, if I change I can get through. I can get through these wolves and get Sonia. At this point I'm waisting time, my hearts pounding as I think about my sick Alpha and Luna back at the house. I look for Lawrence's wolf but he's no where to be found. I don't get it, he should be training, I just need someone and now.
"Move out of my way!" I demand, some of the wolves ignore me while others stare at the 'weak link' wondering what the hell I'm doing
"Claire?" I hear a familiar voice and turn to see my Mom outside the training area, next to her is my Father and Sonia
I run towards them, dodging the huge wolves around me. I was so close to changing....what would have happened if I did?
"You guys have to come quick!" I bend over out of breath as they stare at me
"What's happened dear?" Sonia asks
"There's something wrong with Alpha and Luna" I say and all there eyes widen and they start to run in the direction of where I was minutes ago5
I follow after them, trying to keep up. I watch them all run inside and into the house, up the stairs and into the bedroom. I still hear Mays coughing but not Kenneth. As I step into the room, beside my parents, I look up to them. There eyes are wide and shocked, I follow there gaze and look at our Alpha, my uncle, and mentor. I gasp at his closed eyes and silence.
May claws at his chest and shakes him while she cruses loudly while trying to breath through coughs. Sonia looks as shocked as us as she places two finger on his neck. The next seconds go in slow motion, Sonia eyes slowly turn over to us, her thin mouth littered with wrinkles on the sides, her turned down eyes wide and rimmed with tears, face going pale as she says-
"The Alpha is dead" everyone gasps.
