Regretting him

Chapter3

Casma's P.O.V

I once heard someone say we're all just one phone call away from our

damnation

It's the absolute truth. My voice comes out in a shaky whisper when I ask,

"Are they okay?"

I wait for the nurse on the other end of the line to tell me that they

will be fine.

But all I get is a long stretch of silence. It feels like someone is wringing my spine. I want to double over from the pain, but the pain isn't physical,it is far from that.

"Can you please make it to the hospital"the nurse says after a few seconds of silence.

"I...I'll be there in an hour"I say and hanged up.

I rushed out of the house with the children in my arms.

I called my mom and Cole on my way, telling them to shift and meet me there. It will be faster anyway.

I drove like a maniac, taking the shortest road possible.

An hour later I was at the hospital,I rush to the reception,not even noticing my parents and Cole are behind me.

I am worried about two things,

1. Their lives

2. Their identity.

Werewolf have a different kind of genes,so different from humans.

"Hi, how may I help you?"the nurse asks

"I am Casma,Casma Dores,I received a call that my husband and sister have been brought here"I rant.

"Oh okay,yeah,they are both in the emergency room. You need wait for them. Take a turn down the hall,there is door to your left,that is emergency waiting room. You can wait for the doctor there"she says and handed some files over for me to sign.

I did and we went to the emergency waiting area.

Something is still not adding up as I pace back and forth.

"Why was Eliana and Rhys in the same car. They couldn't have possibly happened to be in the same place at the same time. This isn't right"I tell my parents but no one said anything.

Mom continued to rock Rhynara while dad had Tyral on his lap.

.

The door opens and a doctor along with nurse comes out,both looking tired.

"Mrs.Dores"the doctor calls out and I was Infront of him within a second.

"How are they? How is my husband?"I asked my voice shaking with fear.

"I am sorry but we did everything we could"he says with a sigh and I fall on my knees.

"Is my husband dead?"I son

"Mrs.Dores, your husband suffered an injury to the brain but we were able to stabilize him. He is in a coma right now."he says.

"Then what are you talking about?"I asked in confusion.

"Unfortunately your sister and her baby didn't make it"he says.

"Wait..... baby? Did you know about this? Did you know she is pregnant?"I asked Cole who was standing there as if they just didn't say his wife is dead.

My mom was wailing behind me and my dad was consoling her.

"I am sorry once again. You can see your husband soon, just need to feel out the forms and her body will be moved to the morgue. We also found this in her pocket after they arrived"he says handing over a key with a familiar key holder.

"Thank you"I tell him and he walks away.

"Why is my sister having the key to Rhys' vacation home in Malibu?"I asked Cole in confusion.

He gulped and looked at me with pity.

No.

Realization dawn to me.

No.

My sister won't do this me. Rhys will never hurt me this way.

This can't be possible! I would have felt the pain and burn if something had happened between them.

"No...it isn't what I am thinking. So better start f*****g talking before I snap your neck!"I growl in my Luna voice.

"It is true Luna. I am sorry,so sorry"he bows down his head.

"No! No you are telling lies. This can't happen!They can't betray me like that. She is my sister! He is my husband!"I yell in anger.

"I am sorry Luna, please believe me. Rhynara is an evidence"he says and my heart shutters.

I wasn't going to believe the resemblance between her and my son. I thought I was only being paranoid when he cried at her birth,I thought I was being a nagging wife when she looked like him each passing day.

"For how long? How long have you known!"I asked him seething in anger.

"Years. Five years"he says and my legs gave out. Thank God my son is a heavy sleeper.

Five years ago.

When things started going down the hill in my marriage.

And all this time,I thought I was the one at fault.

"Who else knows?"I asked brokenly.

H

e looks down and his eyes dart to my parents for a second before looking back at me.

"Almost the entire pack"he says and betrayal hits me like a block!

I looked at my parents and they looked at me with so much guilt.

"No....mom...dad..you... you knew"I asked in shock.

"We are sorry baby,we didn't have a choice. He told us he would divorce you and marry Eliana. This way everything will be okay"mom sons.

My eyes moved to dad and he clenches his jaw.

I need to leave.

I stood up and with my reflexes I grabbed my son and run to my car.

This hurts so much.

.

A week later

It has been a week since I found out about my family's betrayal.

Apparently I am the only one in this entire pack who didn't have any idea about their affair.

My son and I were the outcast.

Today is her funeral. Cole and my parents or ex-parent did the necessary procedures.

Me,I haven't left the house since I came back, neither has my son. He has been by my side all this time, consoling me each time I cry.

My parents have been calling me non-stop.

"Mama,answer the call or I will"my son says with gritted teeth.

"I can't baby"I whisper tearing up again.

Before I knew it he has answered it.

"What do you want from my mom,grandma?"he says in a stoic voice.

There was silence for while before he spoke again.

"No we are not coming. Leave my mom alone. You hurt her and I hate it. I hate that you hurt her. No one hurt my mom"he growls almost as if it is a wolf talking.

He hangs up and crawls to me on bed nestling at my side.

Despite my initial shock I pulled him to me and hugged him tightly.

He is my peace.
