Chapter 0145
The nurse nodded and then bit her lip; Camilla knew this was difficult for her to say so she didn't rush her. She waited patiently for the nurse to continue.
"The Luna passed away early this morning."
Nothing could have prepared Camilla for what the nurse had just said. Camilla's heart fell into her stomach, and she gasped.
"What?" Camilla asked, her voice sounding far away.
Tears welled up in the nurse's eyes as she nodded her head slowly.
"The Alpha rejected her a couple of days ago because he doesn't think the baby is his..." she explained. "The rejection was too much for the Luna's wolf to take and her wolf slowly ceased to exist. The Luna's body couldn't handle it and she quickly got weak. I found her in her room this morning..." the nurse choked out a sob. "They are doing an investigation as we speak so I'm really not supposed to say anything about it. But she's gone..."
"Oh, Goddess," Camilla whispered, her body feeling numb.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
"The kicker is we also received the paternity test for her baby," the nurse continued. "That's why I went to her room. I was going to tell her the news when I found her." "What were the results?" I asked.
"The Alpha is indeed their daughter's father," she said softly. "But now it doesn't matter. She's gone and now the Alpha is left raising two girls."
Camilla's heart broke within seconds.
"You are looking well. I don't see why you'd need to stay at the hospital for longer than another day," the nurse said, smiling at Camilla. "Your babies are also healthy. They should be waking up around now and they'll probably be hungry. I'll grab them for you." Camilla numbly nodded, still not believing what she heard. The Luna was dead...
The nurse brought the babies to Camilla and gave her some privacy to feed. They both latched onto a nipple and fed at the same time. Relief flooded Camilla that they were finally eating; in fact, their appetites had improved greatly.
Camilla nearly jumped out of her skin when the door flew open, and she saw her loving husband run into the room. He looked frantic, which made Camilla less excited. "Kyle? What's wrong?" Camilla asked.
"There was a prophecy," he said, breathless. "We need to leave right away before the Alpha comes here. He's going to take our babies. He will kill us if he finds us." Panic consumed her.
"What are you talking about, Kyle? What kind of prophecy? Why would the Alpha come for us?"
"It's not just our Alpha; it's all the Alpha's in this area," Kyle said, shaking his head as he grabbed Camilla's small overnight bag and started to pack her things along with the baby stuff. "The Alpha of the Crown pack put a hit on us pretty much. They had a meeting, and it won't be long before they figure out that it's us they are seeking... we need to leave right away. We can't take any chances."
"Slow down, you aren't making any sense. Why would they come after us? We did nothing wrong." Camilla thought her husband had gone mad; there was no way the Alphas would want them dead.
"There was a prophecy about us,
Camilla," he said, not looking at her as he continued to pack. "The Alpha of the Crown Pack has a daughter who is a prophet, Charlotte. She's only a teenager, but she's a strong prophet. She foresaw that the child born at midnight would have terrifying powers and bring disaster to the werewolf world."
"And what does that have to do with us?" Camilla asked.
"Because we were the only the only ones who had children born on the full moon, Camilla."
