I Am The Lycan’s Luna

C + L – 10

••• Lucas’ POV •••

When we reached the Night Shade Pack, I raced toward the infirmary with my pale, still-unconscious mate in my arms.

“Doctor!” I yelled and saw doctors and nurses already stationed outside the infirmary with a stretcher.

Aleena or Witch Lily must have mindlinked them to receive us.

I quickly placed Colton’s body on the stretcher and followed the doctors and nurses as they wheeled him inside.

“I’m sorry, Alpha Lucas, but you are not allowed to go in from here on,” a nurse stopped me from entering the operating room.

No matter how much I wanted to be on my mate’s side right now, I still complied with their rules.

“Please save him,” I begged the nurse.

“We’ll do our best, Alpha Lucas,” the nurse said professionally and joined the rest of her colleagues in the operating room.

I clenched my fists tightly as I watched the red lamp above the operating room blink, indicating they were operating on my mate.

My wolf was as restless as me as he kept prancing around in my mind.

“Lucas, our mate..” Drac whimpered.

“He won’t. He won’t die. I won’t let him die. They are doing their best to save him. He won’t die,” I assured him… Or was I assuring myself?

I felt a hand on my shoulder, and Aleena’s gentle voice rang in my ears, “Lucas, nothing will happen to Colton or the babies. He’s strong. They are strong. Furthermore, Mom had already helped him in the car. He will be fine.”

I nodded and sat down absentmindedly. Aleena and Witch Lily kept me company in silence. We all looked at the blinking red light, wishing it to stop blinking as soon as possible.

After a while, I felt my shoulder being squeezed. I looked up and saw Kyson standing before me.

“You are back?” I asked an obvious question.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

“Yeah,” he nodded. “We all just arrived. The rogues have all been saved.”

I looked around and saw Alpha Zane; all the Betas and Gamma couples from our three packs had gathered, waiting for my mate, who was still being rescued.

“He’ll be fine,” Kyson said as he sat beside me.

I just nodded, not wanting to say another word. It wasn’t that I wasn’t thankful for them or being impolite, but my mind was too full of worry for my mate.

Nurses came and went, bringing blood bags, which made me even more anxious. My whole body was tensed. I wished I was the one inside the operating room instead of my mate.

I didn’t know how long I’d waited, but the red light was still blinking when a doctor exited the operating room with a troubled expression.

My heart thumped wildly. Did something terrible happen? No, I don’t want to believe it! My mate is strong, and he loves me so much. He wouldn’t leave me just like this!

I stood up and went hurriedly to the doctor. “Doctor… Is there… Is there something wrong?” I asked with my heart thumping from fear.

“Alpha Lucas, we have to deliver the babies,” the doctor said.

I was confused. It was still two weeks until Colton was supposed to give birth, but delivering the babies now couldn’t be bad news, would it?

As though the doctor could sense my confusion, he explained, “But we might only be able to save Luna or the children.” The doctor’s words were like a punch to my chest.

They could… They could only save either Colton or the babies? How could it be?

“Lucas, you have to make a decision,” Witch Lily took my hand and said in a gentle, motherly tone.

Her words brought me back to reality.

“Save Luna,” I immediately decided.

I needed my mate by my side. We could still have many pups as long as he was still alive. My decision was resolute.

“Alright, Alpha,” the doctor nodded and returned to the operating room.

This time, the waiting was even more suffocating. My body was still trembling from fear. What if they could save the babies but not Colton?

And my worst thought was answered when I heard the cries of babies. I gasped and felt my knees weaken.

They… They saved the babies? Colton is… No! I don’t believe it! I’ve asked them to save Colton! Why did they save the babies?!

Four nurses came out carrying a baby, each in their arms.

“Alpha Lucas, congratulations on having two daughters and two sons,” the nurses smiled at me, but I couldn’t care less about them now.

I saw a doctor coming out of the operating room and rushed toward him. I grabbed his neck and growled, “Didn’t I ask you to save my mate? Why did you not save him but the babies instead?”

The doctor looked startled, and he trembled because of how murderous I was right now.

“Lucas, calm down. Listen to the doctor first,” Alpha Zane grabbed my wrist tightly.

Calm down? How could I calm down when my mate had died?

“Lucas.. Do you feel your matebond with Colton being broken? Do you feel him die? Do you feel the heartache of the matebond severing?” This time, it was Kyson who asked me.

His words stunned me. Did I feel all those things? No… I could still feel my matebond with Colton being intact. Does it mean…

“Is he… Is he alive?” I asked, and I felt my heart and breathing stop while waiting for the doctor to confirm the hope that had risen in my heart.

“Lucas, let go of the doctor first. You are choking him,” Alpha Zane said as he tightened his grip around my wrist.

I realized I was still grabbing the doctor’s neck, and he could not breathe, much less speak.

I let him go abruptly and apologized while still waiting nervously for his answer.

The doctor touched his neck and coughed a few times before he answered my question. “Yes, Alpha. We were able to save both Luna and the babies.”

At his answer, I felt the tension in my body disappear instantly, like someone had lifted a huge boulder that had been pressing me down.

I felt light-headed, and my body swayed, but Kyson and Alpha Zane caught each of my arms, preventing me from falling.

“Can I… Can I see him?” I wanted to see my mate. I wanted to make sure that he really was still alive.

“Of course, Alpha Lucas. You can see him now. He’s out of danger and should be awake by tomorrow,” the doctor said reassuringly.

I thanked him and went straight into the room. Sitting on the chair beside the bed, I saw my mate’s pale face with an oxygen mask over his nose and mouth.

I traced his cheek down to his jawline and bent down, burying my face in the crook of his neck.

Although it was mixed with the smell of the hospital, his unique scent finally calmed me down.

I had never shed a tear in my life, but at this moment, I felt my heart trembling and tears pooled in my eyes. Maybe it was because of the tension I was feeling during his operation and when I thought he died, or perhaps because I was relieved my mate was still alive, but whatever the reason, I finally broke down. My tears dropped onto the bed sheet, and I sobbed while calling his name repeatedly.

I was thankful to the Moon Goddess. Thankful that she didn’t take my mate away from me. Thankful that she allowed us to have quadruplets. Thankful that my mate and babies were safe and sound.

No one entered the room, giving me privacy with my mate. But knowing that I should let him rest and not disturb him, I pressed a kiss on his forehead before going out of the room.

Now, there was an excitement in my heart. I knew my babies were outside; I could hear their loud and clear cries, which tugged at my heart.

When I went out and closed the door, I saw Alpha Zane, Witch Lily, Aleena, and Kyson holding a bundle in each of their arms.

Witch Lily was the first to come to me and show me a slightly red and wrinkled baby.

“Congratulations, Daddy,” she said softly and handed me the bundle of joy in her arms.

“Thank you, Mom,” I thanked her and took my child in my arms.

“Are they alright? Shouldn’t they be in incubators?” I asked as I awkwardly held my child. They were delivered earlier than they were supposed to. Was it alright for them to be carried straightaway like this?

“They are fine,” Witch Lily said with a soft smile. I knew then that she had cast a spell to strengthen them.

Alpha Zane, Aleena, and Kyson did the same thing as Witch Lily, congratulating me and handing me my children one by one.

I sniffed each child, and damn, the mixed scent of me and Colton on each baby was intoxicating.

“What are their names?” Aleena asked curiously.

“I don’t know. Colton didn’t allow me to name them. He said he had prepared their names but didn’t tell me anything about it,” I shook my head helplessly.

“Lucas, have you not noticed something unusual about your two little princesses?” Aleena asked with a teasing tone.

My body froze upon hearing her words. Something unusual? Is there something wrong with them?

I checked one of my little girls, but nothing seemed wrong with her. I did the same to my other little girl and still didn’t find anything wrong with her. Their limbs were all intact, with ten perfect toes and fingers.

Kyson suddenly burst into laughter as he looked at me being confused. His laughter made me even more puzzled. Why the hell is he laughing if there is something unusual with my little girls?

I nearly growled at him but stopped when I saw Alpha Zane, Witch Lily, and Aleena smiling.

“Check their scents again,” Kyson said.

I sniffed them again and could smell the strong scent of Colton and mine and a strange scent of…

I was shocked and kept sniffing them to ensure I got it right.

“You find out now?” Kyson grinned.

My little girls’ scents… Not werewolves…

“They are Lycanthropes?” I asked in disbelief.

Everyone nodded with a grin plastered on their faces.

Did my little princesses take after their grandma and auntie?

“Congratulations, Brother-In-Law. Your little girls will help us revive the Lycan’s race,” Aleena laughed.

Goddess, I couldn’t believe it! My little princesses are going to be strong, stronger than their parents.

I felt a burst of excitement and pride at that thought. Now, I needed my mate to wake up as soon as possible and tell him about it.

My lips curled into a smile when I thought how smug and cocky my silly mate would be when he found out about his Lycan daughters.
