Betrayed by My Pack – Wolfless Hybrids Escape
Chapter 67 –

Brenna's

POV

I have been feeling off for a little while. I take Saturdays and Sundays off from training classes to spend time with Jaxon. Unless it is an emergency, he doesn't go into the office on weekends. So, today, he was with me when I got sick right after breakfast. We were eating with his family when it happened. When I came out of the restroom in the lobby of the packhouse, Raven and Jaxon were standing there waiting for me. Jaxon's eyes were filled with worry as he pulled me to his chest and gave me a kiss on the top of my head. "Are you OK, baby? Do you want to go to the doctor? You have been feeling a little bad for over a week now," Jaxon asked.

"I think she is less sick and more expecting the next Alpha," Raven quietly announced.

I felt a small shock run through me. I assumed it would be a little longer down the road before we had a child. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely wanted one. I just hadn't been thinking about it lately. I was getting acclimated to the new pack. Learning who people were and supporting Cara as she learns her craft. I was honestly surprised, as this was a little unexpected. We hadn't really sat down to talk about it. Lately the conversation had just been about my Luna ceremony.

I glanced up to see how Jaxon felt about the bomb his mother just dropped on us. He was also surprised, but he had a big grin on his face as he looked down at me. He placed his large palm against my stomach in what looked like an attempt to sense the baby. His mother smiled and said, "You should take Brenna to the doctor to verify if she is or not Jaxon. I am pretty sure, but it is best if the Dr. checks and makes sure that everything is OK with Brenna."

"I will take her now," Jaxon said/ He picked me up bridal style and started to run there carrying me in his arms.

"I can still run, Jaxon. You can put me down; you don't have to carry me," I told him, but he just kept running towards the hospital. When we arrived, Dr. Hill was waiting in the lobby for us. He seemed to think it was cute that Jaxon had run all the way here carrying me. "I hear that we need to do a pregnancy check on you, Luna," Dr. Hall asked.

I nodded at him. I did want to know if I was pregnant or if there was something wrong with me. I guess we can discuss it while they are running the tests. They did blood work, and I also gave them a urine sample. I was nervous, as I did want to be pregnant, but I was also scared of being pregnant. It was a good thing, but scary at the same time. Things seemed to be moving fast ever since we arrived here at Black Adder. I loved Jaxon. He is a good man. I trusted him completely, and I seem to already know that he will be a good father. I just thought we had more time to be a couple before the baby came. Well, we still have some time together.

We were left in the room while we waited for the results to come back. Jaxon was anxious, and he wanted to know the results right now. I was hoping that was because he was happy at the thought of me being pregnant. I guess I need to ask him what he is thinking. "Jaxon, if we are pregnant, is that OK with you? Or did you want us to wait a while before we got pregnant? If we aren't pregnant, I can always get on birth control, so we can plan for it later on," I asked.

"I would love for you to be pregnant, Brenna. Nothing would make me happier. I was just thinking that we could tell the pack at your Luna ceremony. They will all be happy to celebrate with us. You do not have to start birth control. If we are not pregnant now, we will be when the Goddess allows us to be. I love you so much, and I was so worried about you. I was so happy when Mom mentioned what she thought your illness was, I cannot wait to watch you grow larger as you carry our child. Mom's had six pregnancies, so I am pretty sure she knows the signs very well," Jaxon replied.

I am happy that he will be good no matter what happens today. I would love to bear his pup. Either now or in the future. I just couldn't help but be a little nervous. This is when you look to your mother for help and support. She would teach me what I needed to know about babies and what to do once our little one arrived. I can't help but miss her even more at the thought of it. My hate for Paxton and his ranked men grew. I wish I could kill them for what they have done to my sisters and me. They have robbed us of having this special bonding experience with our parents. They kept my parents from ever getting to see their grandpups as we each gave birth. I can't ever forgive them for what they have done.

I snuggled into Jaxon's arms and closed my eyes to calm myself down. I was so upset right now, not for the pregnancy, but for taking my parents away from all of us. Luna would need the same advice as I would. I was so frustrated at what he and his men had so cold-heartedly decided to do and for what, just because they lusted after us. How could they have gotten away with killing two innocent people with no punishment? The Council was going to drop their investigation, as they had no evidence to be able to go after them. Paxton better hope he never comes back here because I swear that I will kill him if he does.

"Baby, I can feel how upset you are, but you have to calm down. This close to you, I can tell that your scent is slightly different. I believe you are carrying my pup. I can tell why you are upset. I know that you have every right to be furious. The Council is lazy and blatantly refuses to come here and look at Cara's memories. They said that it was hearsay, not actual evidence. Cara is a witch and also a daughter of the deceased. They felt anything she showed them, could be tampered with or inaccurate. I don't know what that jerk said to make them back off, but I will go over their heads with this to the highest court if I need to. They may be in charge of our area, but Paxton and his men deserve to be punished for what they did. I promise you, Brenna. I will make sure they get what they deserve. I won't let them get away with it," Jaxon told me as he held me to his chest and stroked my hair.

I wrapped my arms around him and felt myself calm down as he soothed my frayed nerves. I needed him to be here with me. I knew that he was aware that Cara was not a liar. He saw how they were when they came here to get us. He knew why they had killed our parents. I love Jaxon so much, and I cannot thank the Goddess enough for making him mine. He is patient and kind, protective and intelligent. As far as I am concerned, he is the perfect man. I have never felt so safe in all my life.

I loved my father, but he was not a kind man. He was mean and vindictive, wanting his rules followed to the letter. He was argumentative with anyone who disagreed with him. Goddess help you if you didn't comply with what he wanted you to do. I still miss him, but not his occasional explosions of anger. Whether in the home or out on the training field, it was never a fun experience. He was feared in our pack, and he would never have allowed Paxton or his men to take any of us as a chosen mate. Dad wanted us to know the love of a true mate, which was how we were raised.

Dr. Hill entered the room a short time later with a smile on his face. "It looks like you are pregnant, Luna. I want to be the first to congratulate you both on your first pup. I know the whole pack will be so excited to hear the wonderful news. The Goddess has truly blessed you both," He announced.

"Thank you so much, Dr. Hill. Please keep this a secret. I want to announce it to the whole pack at the same time after the Luna ceremony is complete. We are very happy. Thank you for the well wishes," Jaxon responded for us both.

I was so happy to hear the news, but I was a little stunned. I placed my hands on my still flat stomach, and I have to admit I am overwhelmed. I can't wait to tell my sisters. I don't want to wait until Wednesday night with this very important news. Plus, we will have to tell Jaxon's parents and family too, that was only fair. I know it is just a few days, but to me, it is a matter of respect to let them all know before the rest of the pack.

"How far along are we?" I asked.

"We can pinpoint it more when we do an ultrasound here next month. But it looks like you are about two weeks," Dr. Hill replied.

I couldn't hide the blush, it looks like Jaxon got me pregnant the first day we met. It was like getting pregnant on your honeymoon for humans. I couldn't stop the blush from spreading; now, my ears were warm. I looked up at Jaxon, and he was so proud of himself. His chest seemed even bigger than it was before. Jaxon was proud of getting me pregnant on the first try. The Goddess obviously wanted us to have this pup.

"Jaxon, I want to tell my sisters and your family about the baby. We can announce it to everyone else at the ceremony if that suits you?" I asked him.

"Yes, I wanted to let my family know. Of course, you should tell your sisters. I want you to. The announcement at the Luna ceremony can fill in the rest of the pack on Wednesday but we will not wait to bring our families the good news," Jaxon told me.

He was so excited he didn't know what to do first. He finally leaned down to give me a kiss and then bent down to my waist to say, "I am your father. I hope you know that your mother and I already love you so much. I want you to grow big and strong, and we will see you in a few months."

The loving and affectionate way he spoke to our baby was the sweetest thing I had ever heard in my life. Jaxon was going to be an excellent father. As we walked out of the hospital to share the good news with our families, he was already online ordering books for them. I have never been happier, and I know that my life is only going to be even better in the future.
