21 Wholesome

Luke.

Tia passed out before we got to the hospital. They had given her some sedatives to help with the pain. The paramedics said she had some broken ribs that had healed wrongly, and they needed to break the bones so they could rearrange them.

We got to the hospital and went straight to the emergency room. I was there through the entire process. It was painful to watch, and every time they broke a bone, I got mad at my father. The only good part about it was that Tia was asleep throughout the process.

I watched her sleep for twelve hours. I slept in between those hours on the couch in the private hospital room. Within those hours, Elisabeth troubled my phone and Tia’s phone. She called me with different numbers because I had blocked hers and sent profanities to Tia. I was so ashamed of myself and pissed off at the same time. The kind of trouble that I had subjected my wife to was unfair. Is this the kind of shit she will have to deal with? Even if we took the

child from Elisabeth. I knew it wouldn’t stop. I held Tia’s hand and kissed it. I watched her sleep peacefully while her body healed itself.

There was a knock on the door, and my father walked in. His eyes were red and sad.

“Luke,” he said almost as if he was afraid to speak. I looked at him, trying really hard to control my anger.

“How is she?” He asked, and I looked at Tia.

“They had to break her bones again so she can heal properly,” I said to him.

“If I had known, I wouldn’t have sent Caleb to command the army. I thought he was ready. I thought he could command them,” he confessed, and I looked at him.

“We both know that will never happen, father. We both know Caleb cannot lead this pack. I hope you can have it in your conscience if Tia and Kirk die because you gave them the wrong alpha simply because you want to please your mate,” I said, and he shook his head with shame.

“It has nothing to do with pleasing Stacy, Luke. I have nothing to give Caleb. He is my son too, and I have nothing to give him.” he said, confessing his real reasons.

“The pack is not an item or a gift to give. It is our lives, father. You have no right to give it to anyone, not Caleb or me. Tia is resigning,” I said to him, and he looked up and shook his head.

“The pack needs her. They are the future, Luke,” he protested.

“And she is my wife, father. The pack will move on if she dies, but I won’t,” I said to him, and he moved closer. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

“I will fix this, Luke. Just give me time,” he pleaded with me, and I shook my head.

“Many soldiers died tonight because you sent an incompetent alpha to lead them in battle. Do you think the pack will trust your judgement after this? I wouldn’t have led the fight if Tia wasn’t among them. I have no business with the army. You said it yourself the day you chose to humiliate me because of Stacy and place your son above me. I do not intend to assist ever again, and that is why Tia will resign,” I said to him, and he looked at Tia. I looked at her too. She looked so peaceful.

“We are moving out,” I said, and he grabbed my arm and turned me to face him. ‘Why?” He asked, and I could not believe him. Was it not obvious? “You never protected me as a child, father. You allowed Stacy to visit her wickedness on me. You let her spread hurtful lies about me. It was almost as if you forgot I was your son. You forced me to marry Tia to please her. You have always been eager and willing to

satisfy Stacy at my expense. It was bearable until that morning at breakfast when you forced me to drag my innocent wife off the table because of Stacy. You did not bother to investigate, just as always. You humiliated and condemned her. If Caleb had not put it upon himself to investigate, you would have done worse. Your actions left a lot of scars on Tia. I cannot allow you and your mate to ruin my wife’s gentle nature. The truth is Stacy will always be a problem, and you are too weak when it comes to her. It is best that Tia and I leave so we can have peace. Peaceful mornings and roam about our home freely.” I said, and a tear escaped his eye. “If you had this much bottled up, why didn’t you ever say anything?” he asked me, and I sighed. “You never listen, father. I also know you handed the company over to me because you had no choice. She changed everything to my name. I went through the documents. You couldn’t gift the company to Caleb even if you wanted to,” I said, and he looked away. “What about Elisabeth and her baby?” he asked, thinking he had something he could use. With the way she kept calling me, I knew she would do something crazy. “Tia knows already, and we are handling it. We will care for her until she gives birth and then have a DNA test. If it is mine, we will continue to care for the child, but we will file for custody if she tries to use the child.” I said, and he looked at Tia.

“So she is okay with it?” he asked, and I nodded.

“Very strong woman,” He said, and I rubbed her hand. He placed his hand on my shoulder. “I am sorry, Luke, for everything I did and did not do, but I promise to fix it. Not just for our sake but for the sake of the entire country. I will make sure everything is as it should be, but I will advise you to remain at the mansion for now,” he pleaded. “Why?” I asked because I could sense my father wasn’t telling me something.

He sighed and took a deep breath.

“When you and your wife come home, see me in my home office. I need to show you certain things. Only then will you understand why I keep everyone at the mansion.” He said, and I nodded and assured him that I would do as he had requested.

He left, and Stacy came with Monica bringing food and flowers.

“Thank you for saving their lives, Luke,” she said with teary eyes and hugged me. I felt so disgusted that I wanted to puke.

“I brought you food. I know you will be hungry, son,” she said, and before I could reply, she opened the pack and ate some of it.

“I can never poison you, Luke. I am just trying to be a mother. I will leave Monica here to care for you and Tia in case..” she said, and I shook my head before she could complete her

sentence.

“It will be kind of you to take her with you. Thank you for visiting.” I said, taking the food and flowers from them. Stacy looked at me and smiled.

“Very well then, Monica, let us go. I promise you, Luke, She doesn’t bite,” She said, and they left the room. I dumped the food and flowers in the trash can. Not that I had any issues with it, but I just did not want anything from the woman. She made me sick.

Tia finally woke up, healed. I rushed to her side and kissed her forehead. She sat up on the bed and smiled at me.

“We kicked some ass, Luke,” she said excited, and I smiled at her. It was as if nothing had happened and she had just woken from sleep. My eyes were teary because I knew she would have died out there. She held her ground, but her alpha was too weak to lead and strategise properly.

“How are Kirk and Caleb?” She asked me, and I shook my head because I did not know.

“I am sure they are fine, Tia. Let’s go home,” I said and helped her down.

“I feel so rested?” she said, and I laughed. “You have been out for fourteen hours. Of course, you will be rested, Tia,” I said, and she was shocked. She wanted to walk, but I opted to carry her out of the hospital.

Tia was excited about the fight, and she kept talking about it. It was amazing to see how happy she was. I might have been wrong. She did love being a warrior just as much as she loved Medicine. Who said she could not be both, but I will not have her as Gamma under Caleb’s weak command. My father had to find a way to train his son better. Lives were not toys that he could use for experiments. I hoped I would find an excellent way to tell Tia to resign. The way she had spoken about the battle might be challenging, but I hoped she would see my point.

We got home and went to the left wing, straight to our bedroom. I needed to sleep, but she was energised. My intention was to shower and sleep so I could catch up with her rest. She took off the clothes she was given in the hospital, and I could not help but admire her figure. She was breathtakingly beautiful.

“Tia,” I said with my hand stretched towards her. I wanted her to join me in the shower. I loved taking her in the shower, and I knew she liked it too because she looked at me lustfully and smiled.

I wasted no time burying myself in her under the shower. It was relieving and reassuring. She was here with me, alive and well. My fears melted away as I pumped into her, and she moaned and called my name sweetly. Digging her nails into my sides, letting me know she was with me, and I was doing something right.

“Mine,” I breathed as I battled my wolf from claiming her.

“Claim me, Luke. Take me now,” she moaned, and I looked into her eyes to ensure I wasn’t dreaming. Her teeth had elongated, and her eyes were yellow and wolfish. She wanted to claim me too.

“Are you sure,” I said. “This is it for me; I am sure I won’t be looking back. I love you, Luke,” She said and, without warning, sank her teeth into my neck as she came all over me. I growled and groaned. The

feeling was intense. She pulled out and licked the bite wound. I did not waste time claiming her. I sank my teeth deep, hoping to reach her soul and poured myself into her.

Tia moaned with ecstasy, and I growled, leaving my teeth in a little longer because I wanted the mark to be pronounced. Still pumping, She came from the claim, and I pulled my teeth out and licked the wound.

“Tia,” I breathed, looking at her dazed eyes.

“You are my Luna, my north, my life and love,” I said, and tears escaped her eyes. “I love you, Luke,” she managed, and I kissed her deeply. I have wanted her to say those words so badly. “I love you, Tia, I love you so much,” I linked back, and I felt myself rising again, but I wasn’t going to do this in the shower. I carried her out gently, careful not to slip, and we entered the bedroom. I laid her on the bed, entered her, and began to pump. The feeling was amplified and intense. I felt hers, and she felt mine, back and forth, and we both moaned with pleasure. Our lovemaking had turned beastly. Never have I had this experience before. Was this what a claiming was like? I felt her wholely, and I knew she felt me too. We were one.
