Luke.

Tia passed out before we got to the hospital. They had given her some sedatives to help with the pain. The paramedics said she had some broken ribs that had healed wrongly, and they needed to break the bones so they could rearrange them.

We got to the hospital and went straight to the emergency room. I was there through the entire process. It was painful to watch, and every time they broke a bone, I got mad at my father. The only good part about it was that Tia was asleep throughout the process.

I watched her sleep for twelve hours. I slept in between those hours on the couch in the private hospital room. Within those hours, Elisabeth troubled my phone and Tia’s phone. She called me with different numbers because I had blocked hers and sent profanities to Tia. I was so ashamed of myself and pissed off at the same time. The kind of trouble that I had subjected my wife to was unfair. Is this the kind of shit she will have to deal with? Even if we took the

child from Elisabeth. I knew it wouldn’t stop. I held Tia’s hand and kissed it. I watched her sleep peacefully while her body healed itself.

There was a knock on the door, and my father walked in. His eyes were red and sad.

“Luke,” he said almost as if he was afraid to speak. I looked at him, trying really hard to control my anger.

“How is she?” He asked, and I looked at Tia.

“They had to break her bones again so she can heal properly,” I said to him.

“If I had known, I wouldn’t have sent Caleb to command the army. I thought he was ready. I thought he could command them,” he confessed, and I looked at him.

“We both know that will never happen, father. We both know Caleb cannot lead this pack. I hope you can have it in your conscience if Tia and Kirk die because you gave them the wrong alpha simply because you want to please your mate,” I said, and he shook his head with shame.

“It has nothing to do with pleasing Stacy, Luke. I have nothing to give Caleb. He is my son too, and I have nothing to give him.” he said, confessing his real reasons.

I cannot allow you and your mate to ruin my wife’s gentle nature. The truth is Stacy will always be a problem, and you are too weak when it comes to her. It is best that Tia and I leave so we can have peace.
