The Alpha's Virgin Witch (11 page)
“You’re not a witch anymore?”
“God, no. I’m so damn happy about that,” she said. “I
was doing some weird poltergeist stuff in my sleep. You’re not mad are you?”
Caleb hesitated. “Yes, I’m fucking mad.” She was in
his arms, but she could have died completely.
Caleb helped her to her feet and held her close. He
wasn’t the only one who was happy to have her back. His parents, then her own,
and their friends, embraced her. The pack each gave their thanks, even Patricia
who’d been in the back.
“Thank you.”
He took hold of her hand, and they moved around the small
town, assessing the damage that had been caused.
“I did all this?” she asked.
“Yes.”
Caleb didn’t let her go as they made their way around
the village.
His emotions had been torn apart and brought back
together in a matter of minutes. The pack spent their night out in the main
square. He didn’t let her go. He wasn’t ready for that.
Caleb sat with her between his legs as they ate some
food.
“And you’re really angry with me?” she asked.
“Yes. I asked you not to be a heroine,” he said. “I
almost lost you today, but…” He seemed to think. “Seeing you with your powers,
they were going to kill you anyway, and I couldn’t live without you.”
“You didn’t lose me. We’ve got time together now. My
powers, they
were
going to kill me.”
She rested her head against his shoulder. “It’s all a bit surreal right now.”
She lifted her hand, and he covered hers with his.
“Do you miss them?” he asked, kissing the top of her
head.
“The powers?”
“Yes.”
“No. They scared me. I couldn’t control them, not
really. They were always growing, always getting stronger. I’d never be able to
truly control them. I’d be at their mercy.” Lucy looked up toward him. “I
couldn’t let anything happen to you. I saw Guy go down, and I freaked out. He
was my best friend’s mate, and you’re mine. I wasn’t going to let anything
happen.”
Cupping her cheek, he stroked her flesh, wiping away
some of the dirt that still remained. They needed to get washed. In fact, they
all needed to get washed, but they’d been dealing with the cleanup of the
disaster.
There wasn’t time for them to mope around about what
needed to be done.
“You scared me.” He stared into her eyes.
“What about you?”
“What about me?”
“Are you okay with me being just human? I’ll need you
to take care of me now.”
“You’ve earned the respect and love of the pack. I
think you’ll do okay.” He pressed a kiss to her lips. “Besides, we’ve got years
before we need to worry about taking over the pack. We’ve got enough time to
find that house of ours, and for me to finish my training with my father. I’d
take you anyway I could get you, babe, human, witch, demon—I don’t care.”
“Thank you,” Bianca said, moving to stand beside them.
She and Guy lowered down to the ground, sitting
opposite them.
“What for?” Caleb asked.
“For saving him. If you’d not done what needed to be
done, I wouldn’t have a mate by now.” Tears spilled from Bianca’s eyes. “I kept
attacking the shield that you’d placed on the basement in your house. I felt
the moment you died as it just ceased to exist.”
Caleb had felt his heart torn in two when she
sacrificed herself.
“Please, Bianca, Caleb’s going to struggle to forgive
me for what I did.” Lucy left his arms and held onto her friend. “I couldn’t
let anyone hurt you or your mate, and that was exactly what was happening.”
“I’m thankful for what you did, but I couldn’t lose
you,” Bianca said. “You’re my best friend.”
“I’m sorry.”
“Well, you can spend weeks making up for it.”
He felt Lucy laugh. “I can live with that.”
“Good.”
An hour later, he took Lucy back home. He wouldn’t let
her out of his sight, so he bathed with her, never leaving her side.
Only when she was tucked up naked in his bed, did he
relax.
“We’re going to need to repair the town.”
“It’s already being organized.”
“I can’t believe we woke up this morning wrapped
around each other, and after everything that has happened, we’re here again.”
“I’m just so fucking thankful that we’re together. I
can’t live without you, Lucy, and I don’t ever want to find a reason to not be
with you.”
She looked up at him. “You’re the one that made me
want to be better.”
“You’re a good person, Lucy. You even lost the black
strands from your hair.”
Lucy chuckled. “I’d make it up to you tonight, but I’m
exhausted, and you’re hurt.”
She had bandaged him up earlier from the splinters of
wood that had been inside his body.
“We’ve got a lifetime.”
Epilogue
One year later
They had their new house, which was set back onto the
forest, and near Bianca’s and Guy’s place. The pack did accept Lucy as one of
their own, and they didn’t make her fight for her place. Being human once again
was refreshing. Her powers had always scared her as she never truly knew how to
control them.
Caleb never treated her any differently. His love
surrounded her, and she never once felt anything less than what she was. She was
his mate, and he devoted many hours to showing her how much he loved her.
“You’ve got to push, Bianca.”
“In a couple of weeks this is going to be you,” Bianca
said, screaming.
Her best friend had gotten pregnant before her, and
they were in Guy’s and Bianca’s home as she gave birth to their first child.
Lucy patted her stomach. She’d had a rocky pregnancy,
throwing up during the first trimester, pain in her back during the second, and
being nothing but horny during the third. Caleb liked the third trimester
better than the others.
She loved the whole pregnancy.
Currently, Caleb was keeping Guy downstairs as
whenever he heard Bianca in pain, he tended to lose his mind, and go a bit
crazy. A crazy Guy was not what Bianca needed right now. Emma was between
Bianca’s legs. As they were wolves, they couldn’t go to a human hospital, and
Emma was a trained midwife, and had helped to birth most of the babies in the
pack.
Lucy was terrified. They had talked many hours about
what to do with her. She didn’t know if she was going to a human hospital or
doing it at home like Bianca. Now that she could no longer turn her pain off,
she wanted drugs, lots of them to numb the pain.
Bianca wasn’t allowed to hold Lucy’s hand as she
wasn’t strong enough to take the wolf strength, so they were using metal grips.
“Come on, honey, push.”
The push was long, hard, and they were rewarded with a
very healthy scream.
“You have a son, Bianca,” Emma said.
Emma finished preparing him, and then handed Bianca a
little bundle of screaming baby.
“He’s so beautiful.”
They heard Guy and Caleb rushing upstairs, and seconds
later, both men were inside the room.
Kissing her friend’s temple, Lucy waddled toward her
husband’s side. Caleb had married her in front of the pack. She had a ring on
her finger and a mating mark on her neck. She belonged to him in the eyes of
the law, and the pack.
“How are you holding up?” Caleb asked, placing an arm
around her shoulders, and then one across her stomach.
“I want to go to the hospital. I want lots of drugs,
nurses, and doctors who can take the pain away.”
He chuckled. “Okay, you’ll get what you want.” He
pressed a kiss to her temple. They stood together, watching their friends as
they welcomed their little bundle of joy.
She was so happy. The happiest she had ever been.
Right then, her baby kicked, and Caleb chuckled. “He’s
going to be a little fighter.”
“He? It could be a girl.”
“We’ll find out.”
“I say we make a bet. If it’s a girl, you become my
slave for a month,” she said.
Caleb kissed her neck. “If I win, and it’s a boy, I
expect you at my beck and call for two months.”
Her pussy grew slick, as either option was appealing
to her. She loved having sex with her husband, and she had even grown out of
being conscious about her nakedness. Caleb didn’t like the pack seeing her
naked, which helped a lot.
“Deal!”
Two weeks later, to Lucy’s fear, her waters broke, and
she didn’t have time to make it to hospital. Within twenty minutes, her
mother-in-law helped her to give birth to a baby girl, and helped her to win
that bet.
Abigail was their first child of ten.
