Jake's POV
"Urgh, I need to get out. STOP THE CAR" Angel shouted at Benson who was driving.
"Alright hold on let me pull up. Just try and hold it in for a second the motors just been cleaned" he replied earning himself a growl.
With the blink of an eye Angel was out of the car and puking on the hard shoulder. The last few days she had been really struggling with morning sickness which was a stupid thing to call it being as it affected her all day and night. The only thing she seemed to be able to keep down was bacon, no bread no sauce not grilled but greasy fried bacon.
"Babe are you ok?" I asked calmly as I got out the front passenger side, knowing when she was like this, she tended to snap I kept a safe distance to which Hunter was rolling around in laughter at in my head, it wasn't every day that an Alpha was scared to approach their Luna.
"Do I look ok to you. How about you get pregnant with twins, have your hormones thrown all up in the air and see how you fucking feel. So, no 'Jake' I am not ok"
"Woah ok calm down. Just checking sheesh"
I stood there silently for a few minutes the only sounds to be heard were the birds singing in their nest in the trees, oh and the small chuckles Benson hadn't thought I heard as he watched the scene between Angel and I. I slowly stepped towards Angel as she rinsed her mouth out with her water before standing upright. As she stood up, she took a deep breath before locking her big blue eyes onto my own.
"I'm sorry Jake. I don't mean to be a raging bitch all the time"
"I'm not holding it against you, I'm just glad we are going through this journey together, even though you're the one that's suffering" I chuckled as I pulled her into a hug before kissing the top of her head letting the sparks of our bond relax her.
Once back in the car Angel managed to sleep, she was out cold for the rest of the journey to the royal kingdom even Megan's screaming fit didn't disturb her which was good as she had been up all night with her head down the toilet. This trip was meant to be for purely for wedding preparations as Angel mentioned she had always dreamt of getting married in the same little chapel that her mum and dad had many moons ago. The setting was said to be romantic with no other place in the world comparing to it, but now I would have to take time out of that to deal with Wayne, but hey, I would just torture him for that as well. After the pass I gave him for his previous actions I was furious when William announced that he yet again went against us committing treason to his pack. An act that could have led to the deaths of my mate and unborn pups, something I wouldn't never be able to forgive him for.
"How long does it seriously take to open a gate" Benson's voice snapped me out of my thoughts bringing me back to my surroundings, I hadn't even realised that we had arrived.
As we drove up the road that led to the palace, I could see William and a man who's face I couldn't place waiting outside for us, though I found it odd Nick was nowhere to be seen. Benson stopped the car and got out to open Angel's door forgetting she was still asleep.
"Oh, erm I'll let you handle this" Benson laughed as he turned to get his daughters car seat out.
Walking to Angels door I couldn't stop the small chuckle I let out causing William to raise an eyebrow curious to what I found funny as he walked up beside me.
"Still dribbles in her sleep then" he responded as he tried to refrain from laughing himself.
Angel wasn't impressed that we were laughing at how her hair was now sticking to some dribble she had managed to smear unknowingly on the side of her face but was quick to get over it after scolding us. Once we were all out the car the unknown man behind William stepped forward taking the keys from Benson and parked the car.
Nick and Marie finally emerged as we made our way to one of the many lounges in the palace. I had never seen a couple happier. With all they had endured I was glad things had semi worked out for them. After a brief chat I wanted to get down to business, the sooner I dealt with Wayne the sooner I could focus on my wife to be.
Angel and Marie went to hunt down Rita planning on kidnapping her to go wedding dress shopping while Benson, Nick and I went to find Wayne leaving William to finish whatever royal duties he had to attend. I had asked William not to give away anything to alert Wayne that we knew of what he had done, I wanted to see the look of shock on his face when he realised the gig was up that his luck had now ran out and that he now would join the list of many others that had fallen at the hands of Alpha Jake the man no one wanted to be captured by.
We found Wayne sitting at the bar in one of the pubs on the edge of the Kingdom. The moment he saw us enter he stood and tried to run but his legs gave out on him leaving him a collapsed heap on the floor.
"Fucker is drunk, he is a father, he should be ashamed" Hunter snarled in my mind furious at the state of the man in front of us. How far this man had fallen, one of the conditions to receiving his pass was that he resigned as a royal pack tracker. It may have seemed unfair as his mate had just had pups, but it was either that or lose his life.
I nodded to Benson who grabbed Wayne by the collar of his jacket bringing him to his feet. Wayne looked rougher than when I saw him last for big dark circles sat underneath his eyes, his hair that had always been combed back and looked neat now sat a matted mess on top his head. He had certainly seen better days, not that it mattered for he wouldn't see another. Stepping closer to Wayne I scrunched my nose at the stench that came from him. I asked him if he knew why I was here to which he dropped his gaze to the floor signifying he did indeed know.
Benson shoved Wayne towards the door, he was going into the dungeon where Hunter and I would interrogate him. It had been a while since I was able to get creative with my torture, the last person I got to interrogate was the hybrid that attacked us. I cut pieces of him off to see how quick his kind were to regenerate along with other things. So, this as sadistic that it may sound, I was quite looking forward to it.
Angels POV
I wanted to help Jake with his interrogation, but he refused telling me it wasn't the place a pregnant Luna should be, so instead Aunt Marie suggested we go into the local town and look at wedding dresses. Being with her again after everything that happened made my heart sore, we may not have been able to reverse the hybrid curse she now bore which broke my heart yet Aunt Marie insisted she was just glad to be with us again. When Jason ended her life the bond between herself and Uncle Nick broke causing their marks to disappear leaving the skin on their necks flawless, though looking at her now there sat a fresh new mark even her scent had changed from when I was previously with her. Even with Aunt Marie being part vampire they still wanted to be together, now that is true love. When Jake announced that Sid was remaining at the Moonlight Pack, I was shocked, he was my gamma and Jake had always insisted that he had to go whether I went when leaving the pack house. Though when he said I would have my Aunt Marie and Rita a moon protector to watch out for me it made sense. With Benson coming with us as part of his Beta duties, Sid was to run the pack in our absence.
"So my dear, do you have a particular style in mind" asked the shop assistant as she watched us browsing through the many racks each full of different dresses. She was a tall slim lady with hazelnut coloured hair that was up in a ballerina style bun, her eyes reminded me of the forest due to them being a dark green. She was dressed in a skirt suit and looked smart for an older lady though the tone she used when speaking to me came out snobby.
"Honestly no, I liked the idea of a fitted dress with a long train though now I'm not sure that's a wise option" I replied as I pointed to my bump.
"Bless you, congratulations by the way. Well, you do have options, how far along will you be on the big day?" Her tone even more condescending, I had to fight every urge in my body that told me to rip the bitch apart.
"Eight months or there about" wolf pregnancy only lasted four to five months whereas human pregnancy lasted nine. I was only two months in but being as they were alpha wolf twins, I had to say I was further along.
"Hmm I think you should try this one. It is a fitted maternity style however the back of the dress is open, and I think it would really flatter your figure it will distract the eye away from your 'bump' "
Taking the dress from the assistant with a low growl which caused her to jump back startled, I headed into the changing rooms whilst Rita and Aunt Marie chatted on the sofa outside. I unzipped the dress cover revealing the most beautiful dress I had ever laid eyes on. It was a peal white, and the back was open from the inside of the shoulder strap trailing down to a point just above my lower back. There was a subtle embroidery on the dress laced with tiny crystals. The train was cathedral style which went on at least two metres from the bottom of the gown. I had already been in four shops and immediately disliked anything I saw, but this wow I was in love.
"You look like the goddess herself such a beautiful vision in white you are" came Stars soft voice as she peered through my eyes.
"It is beautiful isn't it, I hope Jake loves it like I do"
"Believe me if he doesn't shed a tear, Alpha or not I will hurt him. Though I suppose some would deem it bad luck to become a widow the day of your wedding" I couldn't help the small chuckle that left my lips as Star made swatting motions in my head.
There was no doubt in me whatsoever, this was the dress.
