Chapter 459
Tattooed Luna
Chapter 0459 âI'might as well move my office in here.â Alec walked through my open office door. It was bright and early in the morning. I wanted to talk to Gunther and finish filling out the emails. Currently, I was writing a mass email, telling all of my allies what has been going on. I wasnât sure we needed the support but I wanted to make a fucking statement. No one was going to touch my luna and the fuck if something thinks they had the ability to do so.
âYou are here early.â I muttered without looking at him.
âI hadnât expected you to be up actually. Figured you would be in bed all day.â There was a little hint of amusement in his voice. Last thing I was going to do was make a joke about him fucking my sister. x âWhy are you here?â Alec sat down on one of the arm chairs.
âYour sister was worried and since I refused to let her come...so, here I am.â I finished my email and hit send before I'looked at Alec. âWhy is she worried?â âYou are declaring war today.â He said simply.
âWould you do it differently?â I challenged.
âNo but you have an unhealthy connection to your sister, who is pregnant.â
âI'wouldnât say being a twin in unhealthy.â Rolling my eyes at him), I got up and walked out of the office, âI'm curious how the triplets will act when they are born.â Alec caught up to me.
âProbably about the same. Are you here to be helpful or annoying?â âThat was also a request from Kristen.
Now I have did what she asked, I can get back to work. If she asked, I accomplished my task and she canât get mad at me.â It was all I could do to look at him and not roll my eyes for the second time this morning. âWhat happened to your balls?â âThey went down your sisterâs throat last night.â Alec had a rare smile on his face as we approached the hospital.
Gagging, I went to make a comment but Alec beat me. âThat is the exact face she made.â âFuck off.â
Punching him in the arm, I felt my stomach turn.
âAlpha? What can I do for you?â A nurse saw me and quickly ran up to me.
âA man was brought in last night.
Where is he?â I was aware my tone was a little pissy but so was my mood.
âUmm.â The nurse looked around unsure before turning back to me and plastering on a fake smile. âI wasnât here last night so let me ask the nurse who was and I'll be right back.â Turning, she practically ran away from me before I could even respond.
âSo friendly this morning.â Alec muttered.
âWhy donât you just go home?â I whispered back.
âColt.â Jacobâs voice sounded behind me. âAlec.â He nodded as he approached. âThis way.â He kept walking and led us to a set of stairs and up to the second floor. âI had them clear this floor. Only one doctor and one nurse are aware. You got her before I could get here.â âT assume he is alive?â I half wished he told me he was dead.
âVery much so. Lost a few teeth but alive.â Jacob opened the door. Two guards nodded as we walked into the the room. Gunther was hooked up to multiple different machines. A breathing tub was down his throat and he was unconscious.
âWhatâs wrong with him?â Alec asked.
âInternal bruising and damage. The doctor had to sedate him in order for his body to heal. He was an inch away from death. If you didnât drive so fast, he probably would have died in the car.â Fucking damnit. âSo, he wonât be able to tell us fucking shit.â âAfraid not. It will be at least a week or more before they will even think about bring him out of the medical induced coma. Apparently, the brain swelling was so great that it was going to fracture his skull.â &» âHow is that even possible?â Alec asked.
âHe has some skull fractures and the swelling is pushing it. Making it expand and brain tissue to push through it.â Jacob shrugged like it wasnât a big deal.
âHe could have information that we need and canât get.â My phone kept buzzing as I was getting emails.
Hopefully, they were in response to my request for assistance. I wasnât sure exactly what I needed but no stone would be left unturned.
âCome one. We have just a few days to figure out how we are going to be getting Kara back. Having her close might help him recover quicker.â Alec nudged my shoulder as he turned and left. â¬@ âIs Jasper coming over?â I asked.
âHe is bring Kristen and Emmy with him. Apparently, they are having a baby shower on friday before the Halloween event. Since all the other lunas will be here for that, they are doing it then.â âShit. I forgot about the Halloween thing.â We were walking down the hallway and down the stairs. âWe have to safe Kara and be back in time for that.â @ âExactly.â Jacob looked just as worried as I did.
âOn the bright side, there will be many more men here to help keep Penny and Kristen safe.â We had to squint as we walked outside. The air was starting to turn bitter but the sun was still bright as ever.
Having a baby shower at this point felt unnecessary but I didnât want Penny to not have a normal pregnancy. âHow much longer does Penny have before she gives birth?â Jacob asked.
âThe doctor isnât sure. She is pure alpha and with triplets. I'm not sure there is another person in history with this situation. As big and uncomfortable as she is, it could be any day now. However, I think we probably have another few weeks.â The only thing that would make it worse, is if it was this weekend.
