Lost Wolf

Chapter 18: Wolfsbane Curse

Harmonys POV

I come back into the room and Jayden is sleeping. On this desk are three letters addressed to me Caleb and Cheyenne. I pick up the two and pocket them. I look at mine for a moment before reading it. After reading into panic and start to try and wake Jayden. He doesnt respond and I rush to go find a nurse. She comes in and reads his vitals. She tries to reasure me he is just sleeping but I cant help but think that's not the case. Soon Caleb comes in with the doctor and I am visibly upset. Caleb wraps his arm around me. " he wont wake up Caleb" I say crying into his shoulder. "He might not if Caleb is right" the doctor says and I cant feel my legs. I'm so thankful Caleb was holding me because my legs gave out. "Luna please sit down" Caleb says helping me to the chair. "After talking to him, I thought about what he said and found the doctor. " Caleb says and I listen as the doctor talks about something and tests. Caleb leans down and whispers "wolfsbane". I hadnt been a wolf for that long but Jayden made sure I knew about Wolfsbane. Wolfsbane was known to kill wolves and if he got a dose without treament it could be fatal. "I hope its not Harmony" Caleb says as I sob into his shoulder. After a few hours of waiting the doctor comes back in. "Luna, I have my results and sadly they arent good" the doctor says. I grip onto Calebs arm knowing in my heart what he was going to say. "He has wolfsbane in his system. They are at toxic levels. Sadly we didnt catch it in time. We can normally try to treat it but his was too late. I can give him treatment but i dont think it will work. It will be best to say your good byes" the doctor says and I stare at him. My heart feels like it shattered into a million peices. Aroura howls out in my mind and I feel her pain. "He isnt going to wake back up is he" I say and the doctor shakes his head. "Probably not Luna I'm so sorry" he says before leaving.

"Have Cheyenne come now. Also I have this letter" I say shaking as i try to pull out the letter for Caleb. "Luna please... Your in shock I can get it later. Just stay here and i will take care of everything." Caleb says before standing up. I didnt want him to go but knew he had to. I pull Jaydens arm over to me. "Jay I'm sorry... Im sorry we didnt get it in time. Please dont leave me... I cant do it without you Jay please" I beg and know he probably cant hear me.

Cheyennes POV

I was waiting at Jaydens office when Caleb told me to come to the hospital. My mind is racing a little wondering why. Once I'm at the hospital Caleb greets me and tells me what is going on. I'm shocked and walk quietly with him to Jaydens room. Harmony is a mess. Her eyes are blood shot and she doesnt even acknowledge me at first. I feel kind of awkward about staying so I give Harmony a hug then excuse myself. I'm upset that my Alpha is dying but I'm not as close as Caleb and Harmony are. I feel a few tears knowing that he won't get to see his pups grow up and that I lost the only family I had.

Calebs POV

I sit next to my Luna and best friends mate. Jayden and Alec had been a little closer when we grew up but I was always there. He was always my wing man if I needed him. My heart was breaking watching my Luna. She had gained everything with him and now she lost him. She had no family to talk to only her pups who would be growing up with out their dad. I linked my mate and told her I would be staying until Jayden passed for Harmonys sake. I was thankful Cheyenne only stayed a short while. She was a sweet girl but Harmony didnt need anyone else really here with her right now.

Jayden seemed at peice with everything when I had talk to him but this still felt like a bad dream.

He was the alpha of our pack and I knew they wouldnt allow Harmony to lead without a mate for more then a year.

I sat next to Harmony as the heart monitor started skipping a little. She started to break down and sob. We were losing him and soon the monitor gave the noise I hoped I would never hear. The doctor and nurse came in and declared our Alpha dead. Harmony sobbed into Jaydens chest yelling for them to try and save him. "Harmony..." I say placing my hand on her shoulder. She turns and grabs onto my shirt crying even harder. I pull her into a hug as i feel tears falling down my face. The doctor gave me a look and i nodded. "Come on Harmony lets go back to the house" I say softly. She nods and gives Jayden a kiss on the head. "I love you" she says between sobs. I walk with her back to the pack house. Pack members knew something was wrong and I would link everyone later but I told everyone to please give our luna some space for the moment. After getting Harmony settled into her room I went to leave. "Caleb" she said softly holding the envelope from earlier. I walk over and grab it. "Tell the pack for me. I.... I just cant right now" she said starting to cry again. "Dont worry about the twins they will be with us for as long as you need and i will address the pack tonight" I say before leaving. My mate, Hannah, comes up to me and I break down. "He didnt make it" I say and she starts to cry some too. We talk about what I am going to say to the pack. "I told Luna Harmony we had the twins until she was ready" I said and Hannah nods. She is really the best thing to happen to me. I open up the link to all the pack members.

"Pack this is Beta Caleb. I am coming to you tonight to inform you of recent events. As many of you know our Alpha Jayden was injured in the battle against the witch Casaandra. Sadly he has not made it. Our beloved Alpha has passed away. I ask you respect our Luna and give her time to grieve. Any pack matters are to be brought to me and everything is to continue as always. Please give a moment of silence for our Alpha. " I say thru the mind link. After a few moments I could hear several mornful howls outside.

Harmonys POV

After Caleb left I laid in bed sobbing. My heart felt like it was on fire. Like someone was trying to rip it out. My whole world was gone and all I could do was collapse. I knew I had to be strong for my babies but I couldnt face them yet. They wouldnt remeber their dad and it killed me. I hear Calebs mind link and then the howls. My heart hurt even more. This pack loved their alpha and i feel like i couldnt save him. I feel like a failure as a Luna to my pack.

Several days go by and Caleb comes in with food. I havent eaten in days and cant pull myself out of bed. He offered to bring my pups in but I told him no. Hannah, Calebs mate, came by a few times to check on me too. They are both so great and I cant help but feel greatful for them in this time of sorrow.

After almost a week the doctor came to visit me. He said I had to eat or he would have to admit me. I gave in and nibbled on a few things. Once I did I felt a little strength come back to me. "Harmony did you want to see your pups?" Hannah asked on her daily visit. "Ya..i would like that" I say and give a small smile at her reaction. Within an hour both my pups were snuggled into my chest and i felt a little complete again. "Best medicine yet" I say to Hannah who smiles at me. "How is Cheyenne" I ask and Hannah shrugs. "No one has really seen her." Hannah says and I feel bad. I wasnt the only one to lose Jayden. "Caleb send Cheyenne to me please" I mind link to Caleb. "Yes luna" he replys and within a few minutes theirs a knock on the door. "Come in" I say as Hannah excuses herself. Cheyenne walks in and looks nervous. "How are you doing" I say patting the bed for her to sit. "I'm ok..im more worried about you Luna..i mean Harmony" Cheyenne says and I actually chuckle for the first time. "I was worried about you" I say pulling her into a hug. "I dont blame you" I say to her in the hug. She automatically seems less tense and i hear her let out a breath of air. "Not gonna lie I thought you wanted to see me to tell me I was going to be banished. Both me and my mate" she says and I stare at her for a moment before smiling. "You found your mate" I say and she nods. She tells me that her mate is Austin, who was under the spell of the Witch and how she had a pull to him from the start. I smiled taking in her laugher about not wanted to tell us about her mate and how he lit up the room. I remeber that feel with Jayden and I was happy to see her happiness. "He is free..i will inform Caleb and if he chooses he can become a member of our pack" I say causing her to squeal and give me a hug before rushing off. I'm happy for her and sad at the same time.

After a few more days I have the twins more and more and i finally start coming out of the room for meals. Pack members bow and give me their regards and love. I feel a little ill still and decide to visit the clinic. As I walk in I feel tears and almost leave. A nurse comes up and greets me. "How can we help you Luna" she asks and I fight tears. "I'm not feeling the best mentally and physically" I say softly so only she can hear. "Give me a few minutes and i will have the doctor come give you a check. Please come in this room" she said leading me to the room. After a little while the doctor came he gave me a physical and left. He told me that he would be coming back with some results in about half an hour. I sat there looking at my phone at all our pictures. Soon the nurse came in with a smile. "Luna I have some good news for you" she says handing me a paper. It had some things on it that were all normal but under the pregnacy column it read: POSITIVE.
