Chapter 144
The nurse gasped in response.
“She’s already marked and mated to him though,” she said, her voice laced with disbelief.
“Yes,” the other nurse breathed. “Only the Alpha can reject his mate after she’s already been marked. However, the rejection would destroy the weaker of the two, and obviously, the Luna was weaker than the Alpha. Though his wolf would take some damage and be upset, it’s nothing compared to how Luna and her wolf are feeling. It’s enough that her wolf might die and if her wolf dies without healing her from the tough childbirth p>
“We are waiting for paternity test results now, but by the time the results come in, it’ll be too late. She’s deteriorating quickly and she’s so alone. The Alpha refuses to visit until he knows for sure,” the nurse continued sadly. “I don’t know what more to do for her. I already pleaded with the Alpha to undo the rejection until the paternity test results come in. But he refuses p>
“The Luna might die as well the other nurse breathed.
Camilla could hear the distress and aggravation coming from the nurse; her heart ached for her Luna. She couldn’t imagine something like this happening; if Kyle were to reject her, she would simply cease to exist as well. Camilla didn’t know there were problems in the Alpha and Luna’s mating; she didn’t think the Luna would ever have an affair. They were true mates and they seemed to love one another more than life itself. Hearing that Luna had an affair, didn’t sit right with her.
She was rather good friends with Luna Penelope, and she thought she would have mentioned meeting someone else.
At that moment, Camilla realized that her daughter had fallen back to sleep in her arms. Her heart warmed when she looked down at her small baby. She smiled when her baby boy yawned and began to fall asleep as well. Perhaps the babies just needed a little snuggling and love. She kissed each baby gently on their foreheads and then closed her eyes, letting sleep welcome itself again.
Camilla wasn’t sure how long she slept, but when she woke up, the nurse was in her room, checking her vitals. She also had a moment of panic because her babies were no longer in her arms.
“Don’t worry,” the nurse said, reading Camilla’s expression. “I put them in the hospital nursery for their morning check and to give you some time to sleep undisturbed. I know sleep hadn’t come easy to you since giving birth p>
She sighed, relieved that her babies were okay. She nodded her thanks.
She recognized the voice of this
nurse as one of the nurses who was talking in the hallway earlier… or last night. Telling from the sun peering through the window, it was morning.
Had she slept all night?
She felt more refreshed than she had before she fell asleep, and she wondered how many hours she actually got last night.
As she thought of this, she
examined the nurse’s face while the
Iner
nurse went through her checklist on her clipboard. The nurse looked
tired, and her face was pale; she also noticed that the nurse had red and
puffy eyes like she had been crying.
Something was wrong and it left an unsettled feeling in Camilla’s chest.
“Are you alright?” Camilla asked.
The nurse looked up from her clipboard with a frown.
“I’m that transparent?” She mused.
“You look as if you’ve been crying,” Camilla pointed out. “Is it because of me and the twins p>
“No, you and your babies are perfectly healthy,” she assured her. She thought about it for a moment longer, then she looked around as if she was expecting someone to be lurking around and eavesdropping. “I don’t want word to spread about this yet… not until the Alpha arrives p>
“I won’t breathe a word,” Camilla promised her. “As your Beta female, you can trust me p>
