Free Web NovelChapter 39: Chapter 39 A Call from the Past
Abby’s POV
I am laying in the hospital bed. I’ve been here since I woke up weeks ago, and the doctor finally told me I can go back to mine and Matt’s room in the pack house. Matt has been with me since I woke up and we talked the doctor into letting people come back a few days after my wake up. The doctor gave me permission to have everyone as guests, so I could talk to everyone at once.
We talked about it all, my talk with Keres and Selene, the fact they are sisters and how Keres wanted to keep me in her world. We talk about what happened when the girls entered my hospital room, how the guys got locked out, not able to enter after the girls. Their fear of what was happening, and why they couldn’t go in there. The girls told me about the pull they all felt towards my room, and how it became stronger when they all gathered outside together. We then went over the events that happened, and how we faced not only Keres, but her demons as well. The girls filled in whenever they felt like it and together we got a more complete picture of our powers and the internal ranking between us. They all felt a strong bond between us, a loyalty and obligation towards Galaxy and a strong feeling of family. But there was no doubt in their minds that Ellie would be my second, if such an event should ever occur, not only because of her blood, but because of the family and magical ties we share. freēwebnovel.com
When we have discussed all the events that transpired in the goddess’s world, all the guys have pitch black eyes, teeth have elongated and their aura are off the charts. All of them, no exceptions made, are furious and in protective mode. I internally roll my eyes.
"Boys, you need to calm down. Now!" I demand, using my Queen aura to get them to obey. All the girls giggle, and the tension lessens slightly. Matt looks at me with wide eyes and then stalks towards me like I’m his prey.
"Did you just order me to submit to an order, little Luna?" He asks in a deep husky voice, which can only belong to Blade.
"Yes, do we have a problem, my fierce wolf?" I ask back, looking him in the eyes and all but daring him to say yes.
"Mhhm, I might have to get everyone to leave this room so I can.." I interrupt promptly.
"You will do no such thing, Blade. This is a hospital, not our room. What you have in mind is properly highly indecent, so the answer there is; no." Blade gives me puppy dog eyes, a pout and sighs. He lets Matt take control again, and the latter lets out a deep laugh.
"You so disappointed him there, my love." He says, while kissing me on the forehead. I shake my head at their silliness, and we continue to discuss what it could mean that the dark goddess meddled as much as she was doing. I had a bad feeling about it, and Benjamin promised me to get a meeting with the Hamiltons set up as quickly as possible.
"It might take a minute, Luna. I know they have had their own trouble to attend too. They still need to officially crown Dana, Jayden, Max and Storm as Kings and Queen - though I believe they were talking about changing Max and Storm’s titles to Crown Prince or High Prince instead of King, because it is highly confusing to keep track of them all." He explains. I nod, and tell him as soon as possible, but at their connivance. He looks at Matt for confirmation, to which he nods.
It’s been almost a week since our meeting in my hospital room, and I am going stir crazy. Matt has been sweet to bring me different things to entertain myself with, and yesterday his mom came by, again, to tell me the progress of my official Luna ceremony, which we haven’t been able to hold yet because of certain events. Ornata insisted on, when I woke up, that I wouldn’t have to stress about anything, she and Matt’s sister had everything under control, and they would confer every detail with me, but with small options, so it was going to be what I envisioned. And I say I because Matt told me to go crazy, and it was all about me. I will, of course, make it about both of us and therefore I have involved Matt’s dad in the process as well, and he promised to keep Ornata and the girls to go to crazy and keep an eye out for Matt’s wishes.
As I am sitting in my own thoughts about the color of the dress to the coronation, I am interrupted by my phone going off. I wasn’t expecting a call, so I pick it up, thinking it was one of the girls, but the caller ID shows my dad’s name. He has been sweet to check in on a more regular basis since I woke up, and Matt told me he had been calling him while Keres held me hostage.
"Hi dad. What’s up?" I ask, but the caller answering me is definitely not my dad and in the shock at hearing his voice again I throw my phone down, hanging up. It is a voice I will never forget, and a person I never want to talk to again. Matt looks up from his paperwork, rushing to my side when he sees my white, shocked face.
"Babe, who was that?" Matt asks, clearly knowing wasn’t my dad at the other end. I shake as the memories of that day rush to the forefront of my mind, capturing me in the pain from that day. Matt promptly lifts me off the bed, sits down and places me in his lap, running circles on my back while whispering, shooting words in my ear. As my body calms down by the touch and voice of my mate, dread fills me. Why did he have my dad’s phone, and why was he calling me?
My phone rings again, and this time Matt picks up.
"Hello, Henrik? Who called a minute ago? No.. Yes.. No, I’m putting you on speaker. She is still shaking from before.. I don’t care.. AND SHE IS MY MATE!" I jump at Matt’s raised voice, but understand my dad tried to pull out the "she is my daughter," card. He puts down the phone and presses on the speaker.
"We are both here. What is it that is so urgent?" Matt asks impatiently.
"Darling?" My dad’s unsure voice rings through.
"Dad! Why did he have your phone? Are you okay? What happened?" I ask in a hurry. Dad laughs a nervous laughter.
"I need you to listen to him, darling. He is going to tell you some things you will not like, but he is trying to protect you and Matt." I can’t believe what I’m hearing. Listen to him. No way!
"Uhm, excuse you! Listen to him? Are you hearing yourself? I can’t, dad." I whisper, yell. Why in all the realm would I listen to that worthless Alpha who not only did nothing when my mom got executed, but rejected me right after, like I was nothing? freewёbnoνel.com
"Abby, I know what he did to you, but this is important! Not only for you, but for your pack, your family, and your mate. Please, baby girl." My father pleads. I look at Matt, who has an indifferent look in his eyes. He shrugs his shoulders.
"We will listen, Henrik, but I am staying on the line and he better be behaving or I will challenge him to death as I should have done when I found Abby." Matt growls, clearly not liking where this conversation is going.
"We will call you back when we are back in our room." Matt says and hangs up.
