Chosen Wolves

Nelly’s POV “Shh; it’s ok little one. The doctors and nurses are trying to fix mummy” I whispered, gently rocking the little bundle of joy in my arms. This is the second time Rachael has had complications with her birth. The asshole she is mated too, didn’t want Daniel. The placenta previa was fine when he wanted a son to pass down the Alpha rights to. This time, he feared for his life. She wanted a second child and was willing to take the risk again. “Doctor Fraser; is she OK?” I asked my close friend, as he walked into the waiting room. “She’s lost a lot of blood. We are trying to stop the bleeding, but her pulse is very weak at present”, he informed me, and I released the breath I was holding. “Can I see her?” I asked, trying to hold back the tears that were threatening to shed. “Not at present. We will come get you if there are any changes”, he said, before heading back through the doors to the birthing suite. I continued rocking Daniel in my arms, hoping everything would be fine. I’m not optimistic, but I have to remain strong for the boys. “We will get to see Mummy soon”, I cooed at him as a howl rumbled through the territory; startling me. “Where is he?” James screamed, coming through the door, moving towards me and the baby, his hands clenched into fists. “f**k off; Rachael will see her precious child when she is fit enough to do so” I snarled, moving my body so he couldn’t get to him. “She’s dead because of him. He killed the Luna”, he yelled, trying to lean around me to take Daniel from my arms. “He’s an innocent pup; you can’t put the blame on him. If you didn’t want another child, you should have kept it in your pants” I screamed at him as the doctors and nurses stopped what they were doing to stare at us. This asshole is a complete lunatic, blaming Daniel for Rachel’s death. Where was he when she went into labor? “He’s going to pay for what he did”, James spurted out as I narrowed my eyes at the moron in front of me. “He did nothing and you know. f**k off; before I rip your throat out…” “Are you threatening the Alpha?” he boomed, cutting me off. I rolled my eyes at the wannabe Alpha in front of me; “Don’t use that Alpha bullshit with me. It doesn’t work. You are only Alpha because you were mated to Rachael. You are a piss weak asshole, and you will not touch him while I am alive”, I screamed in his face as Daniel began to cry in my arms and Simon came over to separate us. “Shh, Danny, Daddy won’t be able to hurt you” I whispered to the baby; trying to calm him down. “What are you still doing here? Get the f**k away from us” I bellowed , releasing my aura as James seethed at me, trying not to drop his head in submission, while Simon dragged him from the hospital. “Luna Janelle”, Nurse Vanessa called, coming through the doorway, trying not to make eye contact with me. I turned my gaze from the baby. “Alpha James has named the pup. He called him Error”, she frowned, still not able to look at me. “He did what?” I yelled, releasing my aura in disgust at the asshole of a man. Nurse Vanessa bared her neck as I tried to reel it back in. It was not her fault my daughter was mated to an i***t. “Sorry, Luna; the naming of the child falls on the father, when the mother is unable to do it” she explained, and I began to bounce Danny, trying to calm him down. “Ness, can we change the name?” I asked. I know the process of naming a child falls on the parents and doctor, declaring the name to the moon goddess. Once that is done, you can’t change it without authorization from the Alpha and if I know my dickhead son-in-law, he would have ordered them to declare the name before he came out here. “The only way to do that is to seek permission from the current Alpha” she murmured, baring her neck again. I looked at Vanessa. I swear there was steam coming out of my ears; I am so livid. Vanessa took a step back as Doctor Fraser walked into the waiting area with a small bag. “What’s this?” I whispered as he gave me a small smile. “A few essentials for the little one” he murmured, and I returned his smile, taking the bag from him. “I will get his name fixed, if it’s the last thing I do”, I told the pair before leaving the hospital with Daniel in my arms. ………. Danny’s POV (10 years later) “Grandma, I’m going to the pool”, I called out to Grandma Nelly as I was heading out the door. That was a rule with her. I wasn’t allowed to leave the house without telling her where I was going. “OK, don’t stay out too long, dinner will be ready soon”, she called back from the kitchen. I headed down the path to the pool and slid into the water. “Doing laps, Danny?” Omega Sandra asked. She was the pack swimming instructor and was always kind to me. Most of the pack members were, except my father, brother and a few of my brother’s friends. That’s because my father is an i***t, according to Grandma Nelly. “Yes” I answered before I took off up the lane to do some freestyle. I had swum halfway up the pool and was stopped by a splash near my face. “Todd, you fuckhead; you almost landed on me”, I shouted at my brother for dive-bombing so close to people. That’s one thing Omega Sandra always taught us; not to do stupid stuff around others in the pool, because it can cause someone to get hurt and around a pool or any body of water, that’s dangerous. Another thing my brother didn’t listen to. “Do you hear anything Stephanie?” he laughed, ignoring my screams. “I heard, blah, blah, blah” she giggled back as I swam around the pair, to continue swimming my laps. “Danny, you need to get home, now” Omega Sandra yelled as I reached the far end of the pool. She looked slightly panicked about something. “What’s the matter?” I asked, swimming to the edge and hopping out of the pool. “Luna Janelle’s house is on fire. You need to get home”, she told me again as my panic started to set in. “Grandma” I screamed, running home as quickly as I could. There are people everywhere, trying to put the flames out. Beta Simon came outside with Grandma Nelly coughing in his arms. “Grandma, are you OK?” I shouted as she continued to heave and splutter as though she was trying to catch her breath. “She has inhaled a lot of smoke, Error. She will need to go to the hospital” Beta Simon informed me as Grandma let off a small growl, before another coughing fit began. “Can I come too?” I frantically asked, as he nodded his head and I followed behind him and got into his car as we headed to the hospital. “Is Grandma Nelly going to be, ok?” I asked Beta Simon, who was waiting with me when we reached the hospital. “I’m not certain; Error.” he answered as I cringed at the name my father gave me. Why does he call me that? Grandma Nelly would have his head if she heard him calling me Error. “Beta Simon, why did Dad name me Error? Grandma Nelly said it should have been called Daniel” I asked the man sitting next to me. “How old are you now?” he asked, looking into my brown eyes. “I’m 10” I proudly said to him, puffing my chest out as he chuckled slightly. “I think you are old enough to know the truth. Your Dad told me you were a mistake being born; that’s why he gave you the name” Beta Simon explained as I stared into his hazel eyes before my lips turned downward. I already knew the answer to the question. Grandma Nelly told me when I asked her. I wanted to see if he would tell me. We sat silently for a few more minutes, when the doctor came into the waiting area. “Doctor Fraser; is Grandma, ok?” I asked him as he walked over to where Beta Simon and I were sitting. “She wants to see you, Danny" he answered, smiling at me before turning to Beta Simon, "Simon, you should stick around.” I was led down the corridor and walked into the room; Grandma was in. “Danny, you need to come here”, Grandma Nelly whispered. I headed over and sat on the edge of the bed, giving her a kiss on the forehead. “Danny, you need to be strong. You will get your wolf in a few years. You and he will be very strong together” she said between coughs. “Can I get you some water?” I asked her, concerned as she shook her head at me. “No; I’m ok. Danny, when you are 18, you will have a mate of your own and have pups” “I know, Grandma. I will treat my pups like angels, not like Dad” I interrupted as she smiled down at me. “Grandma, are you coming home?” “My sweet, precious boy, Goddess Selene is calling me home” she told me, placing a kiss on my hand before coughing again. “No, grandma” I screamed, my tears flowing down my face as grandma began to wipe them with the sheet that was covering her. “You need to be strong for me” she said, coughing again. “You are strong, Danny” she whispered, closing her eyes as the nurse took my hand. “Noooo” I screamed, trying to wriggle free to stay with Grandma. “Grandma, no. I need you” I yelled as more tears came down my face and Beta Simon came into the room and pulled me up from my waist as I tried to grab hold of Grandma’s hand again. He carried me out to his car and took me back to the packhouse. Of all the places, I didn't want to come here. I need to go back to the hospital. I need to be with Grandma. “James, Luna Janelle passed away this afternoon” Beta Simon said, knocking on Dad’s office. Why is he taking me to the one person who hates me? "I have Error with me." “What do you want me to do about it?” James snarled as Beta Simon let out a long breath. “He is your son, Alpha…” “He is no son of mine” James spat, cutting off Beta Simon, who released another long breath. “I can take him back to Nelly’s house. He can try and fend for himself; become a rouge when he gets his wolf”, he told James. I can see the veins pulsating in my so-called father’s neck. I don’t know why he blames me for mum’s death. I was only a baby. “No, he needs to be punished for killing Luna Rachael” he bellowed as my eyes grew wide. “No, Dad; please?” “Shut up, slave” James yelled, hitting me across the face as I fell sideways onto the wall. “Chain him up” he screamed at Beta Simon, who looked shocked. “I gave you an order” he added as I fell to the ground, crying. Beta Simon gently picked me up and took me downstairs, placing a chain around my ankle. “Here, Error” he whispered, giving me a cup of water and sandwich before walking away.
