Alpha's Lost Luna

Chapter 2

"Okay I'm going to start with your ribs because I'm sure that they hurt the worst." She said. I sucked in a deep breath as she started feeling around my ribs.

"Yep definitely broken. Looks like you have two on the left side and three on the right." She finished. I sighed closing my eyes.

"Ya I thought so." I said quietly as she started to wrap white medical tape around my ribs. She finished that off then moved to my face, cleaning out the cuts and applying ointment. She cleaned up my nose and told me what I already knew, that it wasn't broken. She then gave me a pill and told me to swallow it.

"It will take some of the pain away." She stated after I had swallowed it, and when we were all done I felt much better.

"Now there's nothing I can do about the bruises or the black eye but they should disappear in a couple days." She said kindly. Because we're werewolves we heal a lot faster then humans do.

"Okay and thank you so much. Oh and before I go is there anything you can give me for Aiden? He has a tummy ache." I asked with a smile. Rachel nodded her head before coming back with a liquid children's medicine.

"Just give him some of this and he'll feel a lot better." She said a she handed it to me. I thanked her again before scooping up a sleeping Aiden in my arms and walking out. The entire way to my bedroom I couldn't help but to think about one thing, about how Manuel almost hit our two year old son. If I hadn't of thrown myself over him then he surely would have hit him. Manuel loves Aiden, he loves him more then anything in this world, but that still doesn't change the fact that he almost hit our baby.

With a sigh I walked into Manuel's bedroom, our bedroom, and laid Aiden down on the bed. I took a seat next to him and closed my eyes. I was just laying there when suddenly I knew what I had to do. I sprung up from the bed and regretted it when my ribs screamed in protest, and looked over at the clock. Ten at night already. Manuel doesn't usually come back from these little trips of his until two in the morning so I knew that I had plenty of time to do what was needed.

I started with my things, grabbing as many clothes as I could and shoving them into my medium sized suitcase. I shoved everything I could into the suit case before waking over to the closet where Manuel keeps his stash of money. I took eight hundred dollars and shoved it into the suit case. I then went to Aidens room, taking with me a very large bag, and packed everything into it. His clothes, his diapers, his bottles, toys, practically his whole room before sneaking back over to my room.

I had everything that we needed gather up on the bed when suddenly the bedroom door opened. My heart stopped along with my breathing and I slowly turned around, knowing that if it was the person that I thought it was then I was a goner. I looked up and saw my two best friends standing in the door way, staring at me with disbelief.

Taylor and Eric. My two best friends in the entire world and practically family. The two were holding hands, because they are mates, as I took them in. Eric with his light brown hair and dark grey eyes, and Taylor with her dark chocolate brown hair and matching eyes.

"What happened to you?" Eric questioned, his mouth hanging open. I slightly giggled at his wide open mouth before composing myself.

"Manuel is what happened to me." I said quietly, because Aiden was still sleeping. Taylor's nose scrunched up and she looked angry, in a kitten kind of way.

"That bastard!" She yelled. I hissed at her to shut up, pointing to my sleeping baby.

"Oops sorry." She said with a smile. I rolled my eyes before sitting on the bed.

"He tried to hit Aiden. He tried to hit our two year old son." I stated quietly but angrily. They both gasped but didn't say a word. It was actually hard to believe that Manuel had almost hit Aiden because he loves him so much and everybody knows that. When I had told Manuel that I was pregnant I had expected him to be angry but he wasn't he was the complete opposite actually. I slightly smiled remembering the day and the nine months after that, when I was pregnant Manuel was good to me, he didn't say hurtful things and he didn't forcefully take me.

"Your leaving?" Taylor's soft voice broke me out of my thoughts. I looked into her sad eyes and slowly nodded my head.

"I have to. He almost hit Aiden, and look what he did to me, he's never hurt me this bad before." I said with a firmness in my voice.

"I know it's the right thing for you to do but I don't want you to go." Eric whispered. I smiled a sad smile at my two friends before nodding.

"I know but I have to." I replied.

"Manuel's going to freak and so is the rest of the pack, you know how much Aiden means to everyone." Taylor stated. I sighed. I knew that this would be a problem. Everyone, especially Manuel, will freak out when they see that Aidens gone. Aidens the next in line for alpha, the heir, and that means a lot to everyone.

"I know." I whispered, my voice coarse. I glanced at the clock to see that it was already eleven thirty.

"I need to leave, now." I stated standing up. Eric and Taylor nodded their heads.

"How are you going to leave, you can't run in wolf form." Eric asked. I smiled slightly, I already have this all figured out.

"I'm taking Manuel's SUV." I said. I grabbed Aidens blue blanket off of the bed and wrapped him in it before picking him up. Eric grabbed my suitcase and Taylor grabbed Aidens bag. We silently crept down the stairs, and I was relieved to see that everyone had already gone to bed. We snuck out the front door and down the drive way to where the car was parked. I unlocked the SUV with the keys I had grabbed before climbing in and placing Aiden in his carseat. Eric and Taylor placed our bags in the back seat before waking over to me and engulfing me in a group hug.

"We're going to miss you so much, call us when you get somewhere safe." Taylor cried. I nodded my head trying to hold in tears, Taylor and Eric are practically the only family I have.

"I promise." I said before they released me, I climbed into the large car, starting it up and backed out of the drive way, I took one last look at my best friends and the place I grew up at before speeding away into the night, hopefully to start a better life for me and my son.
