Chapter 89
Claire's POV
May screams even though she gasps for the little air that enters her lungs. I hear my Mother cry out and fall into my father's chest.
"We need to get May to my office now" Sonia says but I'm too shocked to move and my Mom clutches to my Father
"Claire go get someone now!" Sonia says loudly and I shake my head and run out of the room in tears
I make my way through the front door and search the area for someone to help. I start to run to the training field filled with wolves to help. "Claire! What's wrong?" I hear a voice to the left of me
It's Lawrence, he's in my driveway and looks very confused at me. I wipe away the tears
"Lawrence" I say breathlessly "please help" I beg and run back into the house, knowing he'll follow3
As I run up the stairs I hear him behind me, calling out my name but I ignore him, the only sound I hear is Mays weeping. I step back into the room and fight back the tears and screams I want so bad to let out.
"Lawrence, lift May and bring her to my office" Sonia says
I look over to him and his brown eyes are on his alpha
"Lawrence" I say quietly and he quickly shakes out of it and lifts May away from her Husband
She kicks and screams while trying to breath as he pulls her away. The tears over flow as I follow Sonia and Lawrence out of the room, my parents staying behind....my mothers cries echoing through the house.
As we step outside the house everyone feels it. The feeling of emptiness of not having an alpha, we're all connected and when an alpha dies the whole pack feels it. The training group is completely still and silent. All the wolves stop in there path as they watch us, there wolf eyes are large and they all bow there heads to there crying and respected Luna.
I follow behind them and when we reach Sonia's hut, we hear a loud howl from all the wolves outside. When I turn behind me everyone that was in there house is now outside watching us or looking at our fallen alphas home. The howl continues from all the wolves in the pack.
Lawrence sets May in the small room behind a lay of wooden pieces hanging in the door way, Sonia follows. I fall back on a chair and put my head in my hands, not being able to bare the sound of her sobs. I hear Lawrence come out and he scoops me up in his arms, lifting me from the chair to stand. I clutch to his body as I cry into his chest, waiting to see if my aunt and unborn cousin will suffer the same fate as my uncle.
Lawrence sits next to me, his arm wrapped around my waist and my head on his shoulder. We've been here for an hour and it's been silent back there. My Mother and Father have yet to make an appearance but I'm assuming they are with the council to discuss...
I wipe a tear from my cheek and sit up hearing the door open. I see Bervely walk in and her hazel eyes shoot straight for the door
"is she....?" She asks
I wince at the question
"we don't Sonia has yet to come out" I say hardly above a whisper.
She just nods and looks to the room where Sonia took our Luna and aunt. She walks over and sits far away from Lawrence, he shields me from seeing her.
We all hear movement and stand as she steps out. I gasp seeing blood on her glove covered hands
"what's happened?" I ask in a rush stepping out of Lawrence's grasp, him and Beverly following me
A tear slips down her cheek as she slips off the bloody gloves. She pushes back her brown and greying bangs as she looks at the ground "the Luna has passed...." Both me and Beverly gasp and my legs turn to complete jelly, luckily Lawrence catches me
"What about the baby, the future alpha?" Beverly asks breathlessly
"I tried...but the child was too young" she says
I turn from her and lay my head on Lawrence's chest, he hugs me tight while I cry at the lose of three of my limited family members
"no" my Sister actually shows emotion as Sonia hugs her, tears stream down her flushed cheeks, her hazel eyes are swollen and red.
"How could this have happened?" I ask stepping away from Lawrence, he reaches for me but again I step away
"I will have to run some tests...." she says softly rubbing Beverly's back
"what do you think was the cause?" Lawrence asks
"I can't say, hopefully we'll know soon" she says softly, something in her tone and face shows fear and suspicion...making my mind twist.
We're all silent for a long minute, it seems like the whole pack is silent
"I'm going to let your Father know...I'm sure he'll want to call a meeting. The council has some things to discuss" Sonia says to me and Beverly and we nod
"my father's the council leader now....I should go talk to him" Lawrence says and looks at me
"will you be alright?" He asks softly and I nod, not saying anything, knowing I'll beg him not to leave me if I do. I can't be alone with my sister right now.
Both him and Sonia leave and I'm left with Beverly . She looks at me and her tear filled eyes turn to anger
"it's your fault" she says and storms out, I hear her snarl and when I turn around I see her wolf outside the doctor hut. Unlike me her fur is light brown like her hair and her eyes are liquid gold. She snarks at me and bares her teeth before leaping off out of my site and into the forrest around me.
I can't worry about what she thinks about me all I can think about right now is....who's going to be the new Alpha?
