“Coma?” I asked, staring at Rachel seriously. “What are you talking about?" “You've been in a coma for ten days!" She said, walking closer to me before reaching for my face. She stopped herself then pointed at my cheek, where the knife had cut me. “What happened?" I touched my cheek, feeling the burnt tissue and skin coming back together. " It is Silver.” I said taking my hand off my cheek to reveal a perfectly put together skin. Rachel's mouth hung open, walking backwards slowly. “ What? How… How did you do that?” She asked in a quiet tiny voice, barely audible but audible enough. “I honestly don't know." I said settling on the bed to relax. I checked Natasha's pulse, she was okay. She would probably wake up soon. “Well… what did I miss while I was in a coma?" I asked, staring at my palm. (This is crazy! What is this power that I'm yet to know? Where is it from?) " A… a lot happened but not that much. I heard … umm… that Jax wasn't in the manor for three days and when he came back, he was crying by your bed." She paused… my neck ached. (He cried for me? Doesn't that mean he cares… then why did he cheat? Why was he with Olivia?) The thought of that caused a flutter in my stomach, like butterflies. " But I also heard something… I HEARD so I'm not sure…” she continued her voice reducing, as if to whisper to me. “I heard he had an interaction with… Olivia, now I'm not sure… I heard from Macy and two other… maids." She said playing with her fingers. An interaction? " Interaction can mean many things… what exactly do you mean?” I asked, I needed to be sure, not jumping into conclusion. “Sex.” She replied. Sex?! i*********e?? Again? My chest tightened, a dull ache eroding from it. I stared at my feet, my brain draining of all the admiration I had for Jax. It hurt worse than before but why? Imagine realizing you had been in a coma for ten days and then waking up to realize the reason you went into coma is the same you are waking up to hear but this time, the news is everywhere. I had seen it before… I had seen it first hand just before I entered a coma but, why does it hurt worse than before? I thought to myself. Oh! I know why, because he wasn't ashamed to embarrass me by bringing my own stepsister to our matrimonial bed to have s*x with her while I was in coma next to them on the same bed, nor was he ashamed to let the news circulate and spread. The realization struck me in the chest like a sudden shock from an open wire, so hard a tear slid down my eye. He didn't care how I felt, he didn't care that we had been together for more than a decade, more than ten years… ten good years, he didn't care that the pack would know he was having an affair with his Luna's sister. It all meant nothing to him, he flushed it all down the drain for Olivia. I felt the bed sink in, I turned to see Rachel sitting by Natasha, who was gaining consciousness. “Natasha, hey, how are you feeling?" Rachel asked, holding her up. " Yeah, I'm okay, I'm fine.” Natasha said, her voice hoarse, her gaze lingering on me. “You know?" I nodded weakly, standing to leave. " I'll see you girls later.” I said, walking out of their room with a dead unhappy heart. Five years ago, I would never have believed Jax would do this to me. I would have even sworn on my life for Jax but here he is… I walked, swaying like the wind could carry me away, my head light, my vision blurring with tears. I was trying to walk to Jax's room, I passed the Heart of the manor, voices exiting from the meeting room, loud and sharp. " She's an incompetent Luna. She couldn't even keep the manor safe while you were away!" An elder screamed, hitting his fist on the table. “ She literally handed the keys to the Heart intruders and dared to order us around, The audacity!" I heard Elder Chang's voice, loud as a megaphone, emphasizing on audacity. " I… I uhh, didn't expect her to not do anything… at all. I believe she was still hazy from the coma.” Jax said. I stood frozen in my spot. How dare he? Where was HE? During the ambush! Nowhere to be found during an attack in HIS own clan. “What does this have to do with our Luna? The main question should be, where was our Alpha?" One of the elders said, I quickly recognized it, the only reasonable elder, Elder Pete. The only elder who wasn't after me as Luna, the only elder who actually respected me as Luna. There was a long stretch of silence, deafening and disturbing silence. A dark laughter bubbled from elder Pete. " So where were you, Alpha? Making out with your Luna's sister again?” He asked “Respect the way you talk to your Alpha!” One of the elders yelled, trying to suppress the issue of his whereabouts. “Or having i*********e with another woman." Elder Pete completed, his voice flat, devoid of any emotion. I heard the table being slammed. “Maya is not a full werewolf and because of that, she's not strong! She's a weak wolf, she could at least get the pack to safety, is that a ton of work but she couldn't, doubled with her falling into a coma for ten days?” Jax, my Alpha, my Fated mate said to the congregation of elders. I felt goosebumps running up my body, all my hands and legs, like someone had poured a bucket of freezing water over me. " Exactly!” " Yes, plus, news has spread quickly that Isabella is pregnant.” Elder Chang said , the men laughing happily. Pregnant?! Ohhhh!!!
