《The Secret Pack》Chapter Twenty-Six
Advertisement
I stand before the mirror and look at myself. I've changed a lot since I got here and my pregnant stomach is the big change so far. I place my hand on my stomach and move it about. The baby moves inside me too and I smile. I might have lost my other child but I still have the other one. Chris warned me though, that since it wasn't born yet, they couldn't figure out if any damage had been done to it due to the incident.
I feel that my baby is okay and that nothing is wrong but he told me to just expect both good and bad results. Even if my child will have a problem, I will accept it and love them more. Our family will be strong and able to provide all the needs.
Elijah and I had a brief talk about what had happened. I understand his reasons and the need to deal with things on his own. But we are mates and together we ought to sort out any problems that come our way than for him to keep things for himself. I am 6years younger than him but I'm old enough to fight my battles and I asked him to stop taking me as a child. He promised to tell me everything and never to keep things from me even if it will hurt me.
My plan to leave didn't work out after I had a brief talk with Jemima. I wasn't running from my problems but she said me leaving only insinuated that I was running. That was when I decided to talk to Elijah and solve out all our problems. I was still sad about losing my baby but I was also glad for saving EJ. It was lovely how Elijah took care of him and it made me think of how my baby will be treated by him. I know he will be a loving and caring father.
(Flashback)
I was picking out clothes to take with me when there was a knock on the door. Liam went to open the door and let whom I found out was Jemima, in. Liam started to pack the clothes in a bag when I and Jemima sat in the sitting room. She asked how I was and this and that but I knew she came to talk to me about other things. When I edged her to tell me what she wanted, she came to me and held my hand.
"I'm sorry about what happened the past months. I know my son can be stupid but I should admit that I'm impressed on how you handled it all. You are a strong Luna and I admire you." She said softly. "But what I disagree is you deciding to leave. Is it necessary that you leave your home?" She continued and I stood up.
"You don't understand Jemima. He hurt me and I even lost my baby due to his mistake, I can't take it." I whispered with tears in my eyes. She stood up and brought me in an embrace. I sobbed on her shoulder and she comforted me.
"It's not just you who is hurting Kacper. Even Elijah is hurting too. Leaving at this point won't help you too and I advise you stay and at least try to work things out and if it fails you can leave." She whispered and then made me look at her and she smiled. "You survived the storm my son. So why not stay and make things right. Everything the storm destroyed, you have the strength to mend them back to perfection. I believe in you, so please don't give up." She kissed my forehead and left the room.

I wiped my tears and sat down. I thought about what Jemima said. I guess it was truly wrong to leave without talking to Elijah about our problems. If things don't work out then I can leave the house but not without talking. I sighed and stood up. If I'm going to talk to him I'd better do it at the moment. I walked the room with Liam and after asking around about Elijah's whereabouts, I finally located him at his office.
"Hi," I greeted when I got in his office and sat down on the chair available. He was surprised at my presence and after he got hold of himself, he greeted back.
"We need to talk."
"Are you still leaving?" He asked.
"No. I mean I'm not sure at the moment and it all depends on how our talk goes." I said and he nodded.
"Why did you lie to me that you slept with Joyce? You cheated on me Elijah."
"Yes I lied to you but that was not my intention. When you gave me a chance to win your heart I never met with Joyce romantically or thought of her. It has always been you since that day. If I had known about the night I slept with Joyce, I would have told you about it but I really had no idea and if it wasn't for me sensing that EJ is really my son, I would have rejected him." He said looking straight at me and I knew he wasn't lying.
"You're mad at me that I chose her over you but is that true? You should have told me what was going on and then you could have known for sure if I chose her over you. You were also on the wrong Kacper." He explained and I remained silence thinking about all he said.
"How could you want me to choose between you and a baby? The child was vulnerable and needed me to be there with it. I thought you would understand at least that but you are punishing me for that choice. I didn't even know that you were pregnant. It was never about choosing you or Joyce because I already chose you years ago but it was me choosing my son." He shook his head and closed his eyes for a minute. The room stayed silent and I felt bad for not telling him. "Why did you do that, saving EJ?"
I looked away from him and down to my hands in my lap. I hoped he had never asked that question. I really didn't know why I did it but I did it nonetheless.
"In that moment, because you viewed him as your son and I your mate felt the same. It was a motherly instinct to protect their pup from danger even if I was pregnant, I had to protect him." I told him honestly but then I stood up. "If you are going to act up on your own every time we have problems then I should leave. You practically pushed me away from you and we were just working things out between us but you threw away the little trust we had at first sign of a problem. Something has to change or I will go."
"Please don't leave me," he cried as he came to me and held me in his arms tight but not too much. "I'm sorry I should have never kept things from you. I'm sorry for hurting you and for breaking my promises. Please forgive me and give me a chance to make things right again." He sobbed and I held on to him tightly as well. Tears came down my cheeks, some soaking his chest where my head was tucked in.

"I know I don't deserve you and you're too good for me but I can't let you go because I need you. Don't give up on me, please babe."
"I don't really want to." I whispered in his chest.
"Then don't." He said softly by my ear and I smiled. I started feeling tired and felt him carrying me before I closed my eyes and slept.
When I woke up after sleeping in Elijah's arms, I felt around the bed for him but didn't find him there. I was disappointed that he left me alone after that heart to heart talk we had. I sighed and hid myself under the cover.
"Why the long sigh? Is anything wrong?" I quickly removed the covers and looked at him in disbelief and excitement. So he didn't leave me alone but was actually preparing food for me.
"Liam told me what food you were eating and what you weren't." He placed the tray by the bedside and I immediately moved to him. He held me in his arms and I connected our lips for the first time in months. And that was the beginning of our second try at working things out between us.
(End Of Flashback)
***
Currently I am in the cabin within the pack lands where Elijah told me to stay for a while. I was here with Liam, Harley who is Xavier's mate and some warriors. The pack doctor came every day to check up on me. Elijah also sent me a letter every evening, telling me about his day, what he ate, drink and do. Two weeks is a long time and that is how long I've been here that now I'm used and look forward to reading the letters.
He never told me why he sent me here which was a week after we started over because he said it was a surprise. Recently he has been telling me about other packs wanting to make him King. Being the most successful, powerful and big pack, the other packs saw if fit to make him King. A king that will be looking after all the packs and help them in financial, healthy and protection needs. At first he ignored it but now he's considering it.
Today has been different than all days as I have been feeling certain crumps that are on and off. I don't want to trouble anyone with silly crumps, and so I deal with them alone silently throughout the day.
I hear a car pull up by the cabin and I gently walk out to meet who I know is Xavier with my letter I hope. Harley hurries up to me and holds my hand to help me walk to out without any accident. I meet up with Xavier only that now he wasn't carrying my letter but he came to take me back home to Elijah. I offer to change my clothes first but they, Liam and Harley, think I look just fine and I believe them.
I enter the car with Xavier and Liam and he drives us back home. On the way back I think of what the surprise has to be and whether I will like it or not. I'm glad to say that the progress between us is working out fine and I guess it's because we know each other better than the first time. I also want my child to enter this world while things are okay between us for a better family.
The car pulls up and Liam opens the door for me and guides me to the front door where I find Elijah standing there with a tray of cake in his arms. On it it's written in green letters the words, . I look puzzled at him wondering what the occasion is.
"Close your eyes babe." He orders with a smile and I oblige. He carries me inside the house and then stands me up with him behind me, arms wrapped around me. At his command to open them, I slowly open my eyes and the sight before me makes me gasp in awe.
It's the same house but everything has been changed. The decoration is absolutely different from before plus the furniture and I don't even recognize it as our old house. I wish I had the energy to run around the house and check out every room because it definitely seems he transformed every room in something new.
"Since we are starting new and I didn't want to build a new house for you because it could have taken us a long time; I thought doing all this will at least make it look as something new." He explains and I turn around to face him with tears. It's not my fault that I'm crying but these damn hormones.
"Why....why did you change it all?" I ask him and he kisses my forehead and smile.
"Because a lot happened and I didn't want the bad memories that came with the house to be there. I know it's not a new house but I thought this new decorated house will mean our new life together; the same house, the same us but new start." He keeps on rumbling and I smile; at least the thought counts. He is trying to erase some of the bad memories for me and I'm so proud that he's trying.
Just then, a sharp pain in my stomach makes me gasp and wobble a little but Eli has a strong hold on me. I feel something trailing down my legs and I then know what is happening.
"Babe was the surprise that good for you to wet your pants?" He smirks at me and I scoff at his ignorance.
"I didn't wet my pants stupid, my water has broken; the baby's coming."
He looks at me with a cute confused face but then he gasp, finally getting what I said to him. He carries me in his arms once again and makes his way to the pack hospital. He's shouting orders aloud but I don't hear a thing as a sharp pain make me grip his hand like a vice.
"Hold on love, we are almost there." Elijah mutters.
