“We all need it right now.”
“Have you heard from the council?” I asked.
“The Rolling Hills pack land is now empty of wolves and the pack is officially disbanded,” he told me. It was my turn to nod. “It’s time for lunch, I will help you carry Martin's things to his house after we eat and get your things. But my aunt will be worried if we skip another meal,” he told me.
“You know I can carry the boxes myself,” I said as I walked up to him.
“I know, Red. But I will do it.” Stubborn Alpha. I didn’t object, I would find a way to pay him back.
Chapter 26
Amie
‘Amie!’ The mindlink from Medow woke me up.
‘Medow?’ I asked.
‘It’s time,’ she told me. I was wide awake at once.
‘On my way,’ I linked her as I was putting on my pants and trying to pull a t-shirt over my head at the same time.
‘Please hurry.’ The last link had me worried something was wrong. We had been preparing for weeks for Medow’s and Sam’s daughter to be born. Her parents had arrived two weeks earlier and they were lovely wolves. Her mother and I had got along amazingly as we helped Medow get ready. I sprinted out of the pack house and headed for their home. Finlay joined me and we both grinned at each other.
“Shelly has also gone into labour,” he informed me.
“Two pups the same night? Did you put something in the food?” I teased him. He laughed.
“I will head over to Jake and Shelly first. Let Medow and Sam know I will be there to keep her dad company as soon as I can,” he said. I nodded as we split up. I arrived at the house, knockedon the door and walked inside. Medow’s dad was walking back and forth in the living room.
“The Alpha will be here soon, we have another pack member giving birth as well,” I told him. He smiled at me and nodded. I headed up the stairs and headed for the bedroom. I knocked on the door and heard a loud growl. Oboy, Sam was in a good mood.
‘That better be you, Amie,’ Medow mindlinked me. I stepped into the room.
“Oh thank goddess!” she exclaimed when she saw me. She was sitting on the edge of the bed, leaning against her mother that held a cloth to her neck. Next to them, Sam stood and looked from me to the two healers that stood in a corner.
“For the sake of the moon, Sam. Get a grip. We are all here to help Medow,” I huffed as I closed the door behind me.
“She is in pain,” he said. I could hear the equal parts of fear, panic and anger in his voice.
“I know. But she won’t be in any less pain because you act like a cave wolf.” I told him. I walked up to Medow and kissed her head. “You are doing amazing, I’m proud of you. Don’t worry about the idiotic mate you have. I got him,” I told her. She relaxed and let out a giggle.
“I knew it was a good idea to have you here,” she told me. I smiled and walked up to Sam and put my hand on his shoulder.
“You should focus on supporting your mate. I will make sure no one does something stupid. The only thing that matters is Medow and the pup. That is your job. I will take care of everything else. Finlay will make sure everything is okay downstairs when he arrives. He just needed to look in on Jake and Shelly. You are not the only one who is getting ready to have a pup today.”
“Oh, that’s exciting,” Medow said.
“The pack is doing good,” her mother remarked. I smiled and agreed.
Just before dawn, Finlay sent out a pack mindlink to let everyone know Jake and Shelly had a daughter, the pack had a new member. They named her Rose. Three hours later, Medow gave birth to a girl. She was perfect and had a generous amount of almost white blond hair on her head.
“You did good,” I told Medow as she rested in bed with the little one in her arms, Sam was sitting next to her, with his arms around her. He was mesmerised by his daughter. Medow’s mother was thanking the healers. There was a light knock on the door and Finlay stepped into the room.
“Congratulations,” he told our friends with a huge smile.
“Thank you, Alpha,” they both said. I made a place for him by the bed so he could bend over and have a look at the pup.
“She is perfect,” he told the proud parents. “Have you decided on a name?” Medow looked up at her mate with a smile.
