CHAPTER 14

Justice

EVERYTHING HURT. MY BODY, MY heart and my soul. When I’d left the pack, I had no idea that I was pregnant. It made me wonder if it was what Alec saw. That still plagued my mind to this day.

Ms. Sandy brought me beef broth and crackers to help with my stomach. I couldn’t keep anything down, and I had this ache that I couldn’t get rid of. I’d lost weight and I’d broken out into crying fits that would last for hours. I couldn’t control the amount of loneliness that I felt. One would think that the reoccurring dreams that I had would suffice. Each time, I saw that I was carrying more than one child.

Ms. Sandy paced often and kept silent. I couldn’t tell her anything, and the lack of communication was hard on our relationship. I wanted to tell her, but how could I explain the last three months of my life? “Hey, I’m really a wolf that spent the past few months healing my mate through a bond that he didn’t want. And oh yeah, I’m pregnant with his babies. Ms. Sandy, did you know healers, wolves and shit existed? Because I’m pretty sure that if wolves exist some of the other super naturals probably do too.” No, thank you.

Lately, I’d been weak and hadn’t been able to move from the couch. I feel like death is lurking, and I don’t know what to do about it. Ms. Sandy keeps trying to get me to sleep, but that only lasts for a few minutes at a time. I’d hate to see myself in a mirror. I probably looked like crap.

“Justice, I really need you to try to drink the broth and keep it down. It’s been days since you’ve kept anything in. Are you sure that they didn’t do anything to you where you were staying? You’ve been … getting sicker since you came home.”

“No, I’m fine. Just tired,” I told her. It was the truth. I was extremely tired but every time I closed my eyes, I saw Seuss.

“Justice, maybe we should get you to the doctor,” she pressed for the hundredth time. She exited the room to bring me something to drink.

“I told you, I can’t go to the hospital,” I yelled out to her. The urge to pee hit hard and I struggled to stand. “I’ll be fine.”

I moved to go to the bathroom and grew lightheaded. I reached for the wall to steady myself but missed it by a long shot. I saw Ms. Sandy run towards me, but it was too late. I hit the floor hard. I saw a blast of light around me before darkness took me under.
