Reject Me Again, My Alpha
Chapter 145

I shot up in bed in the middle of the night. Devon was sleeping at the side of me. But my heart was pounding with panic. I tried to assess what I was panicking about. I hadn’t been having a bad dream. I had gone to bed sated and happy , so what was it ? Devon stirred at the side of me and his eyes started blinking open. ” What’s the matter baby ? ” he croaked out sleepily. ” I don’t know, I just feel panic ” I panted out. He sat up, his hand going to my back. He was on high alert now. ” Just breathe baby , try to breathe. Concentrate on slowing it down “his voice soothed me , closing my eyes. I did as he said, taking deep breaths , to try and calm my raging heartbeat. That was when an image flashed into my mind. ” Anthea ” I gushed out , opening my eyes back up. ” Anthea ? ” he asked, confused. ” Yea , I need to get to her “, I told him.

I started scrambling out of bed and throwing on some clothes. Devon jumped up and quickly started doing the same. ” Is there something wrong with her ? ” he asked. I shook my head , now I knew it, all I could think was getting to her. ” No, not that ” I told him. It was hard to explain , to put into words the need I felt to get to her. I didn’t wait for him and rushed out of the cabin , running at full sprint in the moonlight towards the pack house. Devon quickly caught up to me with ease. I burst through the pack house’s front door , the door crashing into the wall , I would worry if I did damage later. Bounding up the stairs, I headed to Anthea and Enzo’s room. ” Violet, slow down ” Devon whispered behind me, but I couldn’t.

As I got to their bedroom door and was about to bang on it , it flew open. Anthea was standing there with the same panicked look I had and a very frustrated enzo stood behind her. ” Thank god ” Anthea breathed when she saw me. I flung myself at her and we stood embracing one another. ” I feel it too , I feel it now ” I rushed to tell her and she started sobbing on my shoulder. ” Thank god , I thought I was going crazy, Violet . I’ve had thoughts of camping outside your cabin just so I could feel sane ” she admitted.

” We need to figure out what this is. I have spent the last few days trying to keep her from doing just that “, Enzo said from in the room. We had yet to break our embrace. Now I was close to her, I felt calm. ” What could it be though ? ” Devon said. ” It’s my babies , they demand her close ” Anthea said. We finally split apart a little. But we kept side by side. I nodded. ” I think it was our baby demanding it too ” an image of Anthea flashed into my mind , and a thought of how I needed to get there.

” So , what for the whole of the pregnancies , you two need to be joined at the h*p ? ” Enzo asked. He didn’t sound mad , just maybe a little jealous. Wolves were like that , and the thought of having to share Anthea and their time alone would still spark that , even with me. That had no love interest in her. ” First we need to figure out what is going on , why we feel so attached or atleast why the babies do ” I said. Anthea nodded. ” That will help us understand all of this , but I am so tired. I haven’t slept in days ” she looked down a little embarrassed. ” I know this is a little bit much of me to ask, but our bed is big enough for four people. Can you two please sleep here , so I can get some sleep. It will clear my mind more and I’ll be able to concentrate in the morning to figure out what is going on. “

She didn’t look up , not once when she asked or after. I looked at Devon. ” I don’t think I will get back to sleep tonight either if we leave “, I admitted. ” The baby feels panic at me leaving “, I told him. He looked at Enzo and they were obviosuly mind linking to each other. ” This isn’t really about us , all we want is to look after the two of you. So , if we all have to bunk up while we figure this out , it is what we need to do. It is no hardship for us , so do not feel bad for asking “, Enzo said, and Anthea burst into tears. Turning, she hugged him. ” Thank you , I know the fact you haven’t been able to comfort me has been hard for you. I am so sorry this is happening , but it is nothing you are doing wrong. Our babies love it when you are near too. That is why I asked if we could all sleep here. They don’t like the thought of me kicking you out either , they want their daddy close too “, she told him.

Enzo’s face brightened like that had been a real worry , that he was basically being cast aside and rendered useless. He looked up at me and at Anthea. ” If this has to become a permanent arrangement while you’re pregnant , then we may need to make alternative arrangements. The bed is big enough, but we may need a bigger one just for comfort when your bellys start growing. Let’s all get some rest “. Looking at him , he did look tired. If what I experienced has been going off for days for Anthea and she has been fighting it. I can imagine they haven’t had any sleep.

” Girls in the middle “, Devon said. I looked at him to see how he felt about this. But he just smiled at me. There wasn’t any judgment or any ill feelings towards it for what I could read off of him anyway. Climbing into the bed , Anthea smiled at me , as we lay facing each other. Anthea sighed , like she was letting the weight of the world off of her shoulders. Enzo climbed in behind her and I saw his big meaty arm go around her , then felt one go around me from my mate. Under the sheet I felt Antheas’ hand searching for something , so I reached forward and grabbed her hand in mine and she smiled gratefully at me.

Within seconds after that, I saw her eyes drooping and getting heavy. Soon , her breathing evened out as she slipped into slumber. Eno’s head popped up from behind her to look at her face and he grinned. ” Finally ” he whispered, looking down at her, then up at us. ” Thanks for coming here , she has been fighting this for days, not wanting to intrude. We’ve argued , she cried. And she hasn’t slept. We will figure out the rest tomorrow , goodnight guys ” he reached back and flicked off the light plunging the bedroom into darkness.

Shuffling my bum back a little , so I was more settled in to Devon’s embrace. I felt my eyelids dragging down too. Once I was asleep , I didn’t wake up to any panic or nightmare. I was dead to the world and all in it until morning. I was warm and super comfy when I saw the light from behind my eyelids. And there was a weight on my chest , but my arm was going numb. Blinking my eyes open , I let myself come around a little , before looking down. Anthea was laid on my chest , and I had my arm wrapped protectively around her.

Hugging her to me , Enzo had his hand on her h*p as he still slept and Devons hand was resting on my stomach. I couldn’t help but smile at the situation we were in here. I was laid finding it quite amusing and ignoring my numb arm. Until a wave of nausea hit me hard. I had to quickly dislodge Anthea off of me , which woke her up. And then climbed over Devon, which woke him up as I dashed for their en suite. My knees hit the tiles as I started emptying the contents of my stomach out into the bowl.

A warm hand started rubbing my back. I looked to see Devon looking at me with concern. I went to speak to him but another bout came. This time I felt someone pulling my hair back from my face and clipping it at the back of my head. I knew from the soft touch that it was Anthea. It took around ten minutes for it to stop and when I pulled my head out of the basin , I looked around to see all three standing there. Enzo had a glass of water and what looked like a toothbrush in a packet in his hand. He handed them to me and I smiled grateful, taking a sip of the water.

” Are you OK now baby ? ” Devon asked me from my side. I nodded, sipping the water again. ” Morning sickness I think “, I whispered my throat horse after the retching. ” The doctor should be able to give us something to help you with that. We will go see him later today “, Devon said, calmly leaning forward and kissing my forehead. Looking at Anthea , my brow creased. “Do you not have morning sickness?” she shook her head no, and then Enzo spoke. “Wolves rarely suffer from it when carrying pups. I am afraid to say , your pregnancy will be tougher than Antheas. You may be a witch, but your body is like a human and you are carrying wolf pups. They grow quicker in the womb and develop faster. Shewolves tend to birth after around six to seven months. It may be a little longer for you , or sooner depending if your body can handle it. They all questioned whether Antheas’ mum was only half wolf when she first birthed Anthea because she was birthed at five months “.

I looked at him with fear , and Anthea turned and smacked his leg. ” Now, look you brute, you’ve scared her , Violet, you’ll be fine. You’re a strong woman , and we have great doctors that will keep a closer eye on you and your baby. Lots and lots of half-breed mums were just fine , so I read anyway in the journals. Because your baby will kind of choose its side , a wolf, witch or a little of each. So , your baby may be fully witch and grow at a normal speed ” she explained. I nodded and stood up, going to the sink. I went to brush my teeth and looked back at the audience that I still had. ” Guy’s , I’m good. I don’t think I need you to watch this “, I smiled. It took a second but they all got what I was saying, looking a little embarrassed as they shuffled out of the room. I couldn’t help but feel loved, though wolves just give it out so easily. They protect and care for those they want to , and if they chose to want to choose you, well, you are a lucky person.
