The Loss of her Mate. Ella's Story

Chapter 5. Marco

It's been 15 years since my sister vanished. I have spent every chance I can try to find her. I know it's time to give up. If she wanted to be found then I would have by now. I know that she is not dead, I would know.

Just then my Little boy comes running in “Dad…” Jackson comes running in he is out of breath. 

“What's the wrong Son.”

“ I was just wondering if I can start my training today. I am ten now, I think I am old enough to start my Alpha Training. I only have eleven years to learn everything I need to know, and should start fighting right?” I chuckle 

“Why now, Bean. you're only ten, most don't start their training for another two years.”

“Because dad, once I am fully in charge you can spend all your time looking for Auntie Ella and bring her home.”

I smile. “Also so I can kill the man who took aunt Cassy.” My little Alpha Growls. I smile but it falls when I think of my sisters. Two years ago we lost our baby sister Cassy. She was only five when the war happened.

Last year she was walking in the woods with her best friend, luckily they were both pack warriors, when a group of rogues attacked, looking for someone called the Child.`` My sister and her friend fought hard and took out 4 before they took her. They managed to take Cassy and Vanish. I am still looking for her, but we now believe she is dead. I wish Bella was here. 

“I'll talk to your mother and see what she says ok.”

He huffs but nods his head and leaves without another word.

I still remember the day we found out we were having a pup.

Flashback 10 years ago.

I wake to the sound of my mate in the bathroom, she is packing. I go in and move her hair from her face, her face looks up at me. “What's wrong, my love?” She shrugs. 

“I must have eaten something that did not agree with me.” She barely finished her sentence only to throw up again. When she is done I give her some mouthwash. Once she has rinsed her mouth, I pick her up bridal style and carry her down to the pack hospital.

“Alpha, Luna '' One of the Nurses says as we come in.

“We need a doctor. Your Luna has been sick all morning.” I say a little harshly. Causing Kate to Laugh. 

“Be nice love” she says

The nurse leads us to a room and I put Kate down. The doctor comes in shortly.

“So Luna tell me what the problem is” she smiles at Kate

“I have been sick all morning, I can’t even seem to keep water down” She huff’s

“Ok, I am going to take some blood” When she has finished drawing it she says “I'll be back soon” As she opens the door with a smile on her face, she knows something, so why is she smiling like that.

I sit down and start to freak out, what could be wrong with my mate, and why was the doctor not concerned that her Luna is sick. I am about to walk out and find the stupid Woman when she comes back in her smile even bigger than when she walked out the door.

“Well, I guess congratulations are in order Alpha, Luna, Your Pregnant. My Jaw hits the floor. I turn to Kate to see a smile as big as mine. “Ok no shifting, you don't want to put any unnecessary stress on your body or that of the baby.” We both nod our heads.

“Would you like an ultrasound?” Both of us instantly nod our heads once she gets Kate ready she says “This will be cold” Just as she squirts this jelly stuff on her stomach and takes a device attached to what looks like a tv. After a few tries, she finally brings up an Image. It's small and Looks like a bean. “Looks like you are 10 weeks luna. As you know most She wolves are pregnant for at most 30 weeks but with you both being of Alpha Blood, you're looking at 26 tops.” We nod our heads “Would you like pictures?” We both nod again. I can't keep my eyes off of my Little Bean.

Time Skip. 16 ½ weeks later.

I am starting to piss Kate off, I won't let her do anything. But what can I say she is about to pop, I can't wait till I get to see my little one we still don't know if its a boy or a girl, we don't care just as long as My little bean is healthy, yes I call it Bean, Kate Hates it but that is what it is. If it's a boy he will be my little Bean if it's a girl she will be my Little Jelly bean. 

We have already picked out their names. For a little boy, His name will Be Jackson Marco Nightingale. For a little girl Jackolyn Bella Nightingale.

I want Jack to be remembered for all time in our pack not just by his death but by life maybe just maybe. Bella will come back. 

I am sitting at my desk when I hear. “Marco….”  my mate mind-links me when all of a sudden I feel my middle section cramp. “My water just broke…” I hear Kate scream in my head. I waste no time in making it to our room. I picked her up and ran to the hospital. 

12 hours, that's how long she was in labor. I was so scared that she would not make it or that our baby would not that I was a nervous wreck. When I finally heard the cry, I let out a breath. “It's a Boy” I hear the doctor say as she hands him to Kate. I brush her hair and kiss her on the forehead. I look at my son. “Hey there my little bean, I am your daddy.” His big eyes look up at me. “He is my perfect love,” I tell Kate. 

“So does our little Alpha have a name,” one of the nurses asks

“Jackson Marco Nightingale” I smiled at her.

Flash Back over.

Just as I am coming out of my thoughts I smell Kate. She opens the door. “Jack said you wanted to see me” I smiled at her, Of Course, my little bean had to get his mom. I chuckle

“He wants to start training. I told him I would talk to you. But I did think that he would run and get you” I say with a shake of the head. 

She laughs making her way to sit in my lap. “Why does he want to start now?”

“He says that way I can spend more time looking for his Auntie Bella, and so that he can hunt down the one who got away from Chris.”

“Are you joking with me?” She says with anger. “Why does he want to? He is only 10, Marc. No. He is too young.” I smile

“I know love, but maybe just maybe we start small, let him attend training, maybe some tracks. Something that won't let him get hurt but let him feel like the Alpha he is” 

“Fine Marc but if my baby gets hurt you will be the one punished, not anyone else. And by punishment I mean you sleep on the couch.” I gulp. She has put me there twice. The first time when Bella left. And the second time when some bimbo hit on me. I didn't even talk to her but apparently, I did not stop it so I got the couch. And by couch, I mean my office couch.

I raise my hands. “I get it. I will make sure he doesn't hurt love.” She gives me a kiss and stands up and leaves. Not even ten minutes have gone by when in the run’s Jack he has the biggest smile. “Mom said to come to talk to you.”

“Yes, we have agreed to start with basic training. Nothing too rough or hard, and for you to learn basic tracking. Deal?” His eyes look like saucers. 

He runs around the desk and jumps into my lap “Thank you Dad, I promise I will make you proud of me.” He says with a triumphant smile.

“I am always proud of you, My Little Bean.” I ruffle his hair

“DADDD, don't call me that I am not a little boy anymore. I am An Alpha and I can't have the Men calling me Little Bean.” He crosses his arms over his chest. With a huff.

“You will always be my Little Bean no matter how old or how big you get pup.” I chuckle at his blush.
