The Unexpected Wolf

Talking things over with Addy

As soon as my mom looked at me and saw my downcast expression her face looked almost sad. Then she looked at my dad and Grey “honey Grey we should probably let Ash get some rest. She’s had a long week and is still in the hospital. Yet here we are talking about her future without considering what she needs at the moment.”

She looked to me, “get some rest sweetie. You look like you could use it.” She kissed my head then rubbed my small bump. “Love you munchkin.” Grabbing Grey’s and my dad’s hands dragging them out of the ward, leaving me all alone.

“Addy what should we do? This pack is where I feel the safest. I’m still getting to know Grey and don’t get me wrong he seems like a good guy, but what about Tucker? I don’t want to take Kayla away from him, she’s as much his as she is mine. I don’t think it would be right or fair of me to take her away from her dad.” I said in my head hoping to stir her from her slumber.

“Ashes calm down if we can’t get them to see, reason we still have an ace on our side.” Addy replied sleepily. “Oh yeah what’s that ace we have? From the looks of things, dad is going to force us to marry Grey.” I replied huffily to her,

“Well things could be worse. Grey is some hot meat, plus his wolf says he’s very sincere about us. They’ve waited a long time to meet us. Gai wants to see me once we get out of here. I kinda promised him a run the day we go home. I don’t have a bad feeling about him plus Kassi says he’s genuine and wants to take care of Kayla.” Addy comes back now rolling over in my head showing me her belly.

“Wait, you did what?” I exclaim loudly startling her to where she jumps looking for a threat. “Plus who’s Kassi?” I exclaim trying to figure things out. “Look Ash, I love you, Kayla, Tucker and Trent. Just like you I feel things for Tucker and Trent that we shouldn’t and that’s clouding our vision. Christa is his mate, While Grey is ours. Please don’t get me wrong I would love to stay and be with Trent, but I think we need to give our mate time with his mate. He’s been thinking about nothing but us and Kayla nonstop. Not even giving his relationship a chance. We could give Grey and Gai a chance and if he’s not to our liking we could kick his a** and run back here and let Trent loose on him.” Addy says with a smirk on her face.

“Goddess Addy I love you, and yeah your right Tucker does have Christa. There’s something about her that rubs me the wrong way. I really hope she treats him right. He's such a good guy. I wouldn’t want her turning him against his daughter. Kayla would be devastated if she did that.” I just wonder if this move would be good for Kayla she’s so close to Tucker. I don’t want to crush her little heart by taking her away from him.” I reply to Addy, still kinda miserable about this situation.

“Ash I’m sorry I should be on your side, I really want to stay, I really do. I just am tired of hurting everytime I see him with her. I don’t want Kayla to feel my pain and attack Tucker again. Plus didn’t you say we needed to find our own way in this world earlier? How are we going to do that if we never leave this place?” Addy replied, laying down in my mind again.

“Yeah I kinda know what you mean I’m tired of hurting. When Coy stopped talking to me it tore me up inside. When Tucker found Christa I felt like someone ripped my heart from my chest. I also kind of feel my bond to them breaking a little bit now that Grey is here. I don’t know what this means, but would kind of like to explore it. Are you with me Addy?” I finally relent thinking letting Tucker go is the right thing to do.

“A hundred percent with you, it will hurt but make us stronger as well. Let’s see what the goddess has in store for us.” Addy replied with a little sadness in her voice. I can tell her connection with Trent is fading as well.

This hurts like no other. I feel like I’m giving a piece of myself away. Also knowing this is my fate. I can’t keep Tucker away from his happiness when I can’t even reach for my own with the person who was created for me by the goddess herself. I sigh to myself, when did life get so complicated? I had dreams and goals. I was going to train even harder this year and become the first female head warrior this pack’s had in over a hundred years.

Not that Alpha Jones or any other Alpha was neglecting the female race here. Just that there was no female that wanted that position since my great great grandma. Now that’s saying something. Our females aren’t weak by any means, it’s just that training is hard and to become the top warrior you had to be able to take an Alpha down.

Now you see why the top warrior training is a very hard and rigorous position but I’m told very rewarding. Maybe I’ll be able to train and become that once Kayla is born. I need to train harder anyways to always be able to protect her from whatever challenge may come our way. Whether I’m with Tucker or Grey it’ll always be me willing to lay my life down for my little girl.

I just pray to the moon goddess that this is the right path that she’s laid down for me. That moving Kayla away from her dad will help protect her. I just hope I’m not going to break her tiny heart. She’s so close to Tucker I this move will be hard on her.

Suddenly when I was thinking this I heard a little whimper in my head. “Kayla sweetheart, was that you?” I ask to my tiny bump. Two tiny whimpers respond to me. “I understand that you're upset honey. I don’t want to take you away from your daddy either. We just need this change, I’ve got to become stronger to protect you the way you need to be.” I calmly reply to her trying to hide the sadness in my voice.

Baby Kayla POV

I don’t understand, mommy was supposed to never leave daddy. She’s wearing his mark for goddess sakes. How can I keep her here? I don’t want to be away from daddy, he’ll be lost and upset with us not here.

“Daddy are you busy?” I quickly mindlink him hoping I’ll get the answer to my problems. “I’m a little busy, what’s wrong my little sweetheart.” I hear back. “Just want to hear from you, are you somewhere where we can talk for a few minutes?” I ask with my heart beating frantically. “Not at the moment honey, I’m out shopping with Christa I can talk later tonight though sweetheart do you want me to come when mommy’s asleep to read you stories again?” Daddy asked.

“No daddy, you don’t have to come tonight. I understand that you need your time with your mate as well. Just come whenever you feel like it. I won’t keep you any longer, love you daddy.” I reply cutting the link from him. I guess mommy’s right, maybe we do need this move away from here. I thought
