Chapter 232
After that, Ella slipped into a coma. The doctors said considering the dangerous weakness of her
body, it was probably best, however, I couldn’t help but feel responsible for inducing it.
I managed to get her back onto my territory and into the hospital where the Doctor’s immediately
whisked her away.
“Alpha,” a doctor said to me after approaching me in the waiting room of the hospital.
“How is she?” I asked eagerly.
“She’s severely malnourishment and weak. Her vitals are all over the place and she’s struggling,” she
explained. “And there’s something else I need to discuss but you should come into the office,” she
added looking around the waiting room that I shared with a few other pack members.
I took a deep breath and ran my hand through my head before nodding and following her into the
office.
“She’s pregnant. I presume you know that?” she said.
I nodded, “Of course. I could sense that she was carrying that motherfucker’s spawn almost
immediately,” I said.
“She’s only two weeks along and after ever everything she’s been through, the child is unlikely to be
healthy and is only adding to the stress on her body,” the Doctor said.
I knew exactly what she was insinuating.
“All the more reason to get rid of it,” I said. “I wanted it gone anyway.”
“Whatever you wish, Alpha, but would the Luna not want a part in that decision?”
“She is not giving birth to another man’s child, especially not fucking Andrea Martinez’s and I am
certainly not raising it alongside my own,” I growled. “And you said it yourself. The child is unlikely
to be healthy anyway and the last thing she needs is a pregnancy.”
“Yes, Alpha,” she said nodding her head. “It’ll be done immediately.”
I got up to leave but turned just before I reached the door.
“..and put it down as a miscarriage. She doesn’t need to know.”
She swallowed and nodded again, “Yes, Alpha.”
It was weeks until she woke up. After the abortion and with time, she stabilised but I still couldn’t
bring myself to leave the hospital for long and I spent hours just sat by her as she slept.
The kids didn’t understand of course which only made it harder. Whilst I didn’t want to keep them
away from their Mother, confusing and upsetting them by bringing them to see her in this way
didn’t feel right either so I kept them away from the hospital mostly in the care of my Mom or Luca.
They asked questions and missed her of course but seemed happy enough.
There was no progress in South America. Martinez had frustratingly slipped off the face of existence
along with Luciano and everyone else associated. It was severely frustrating and instead of relaxing
in, it put everybody anxiously on edge. We knew we hadn’t seen the last of him and that this was far
from over yet and the anticipation of when, where and how he would rear his ugly head was agony.
The pack tried to go on as usual but we couldn’t ignore the shadow over us and with Ella still in the
same condition, morale was low.
It was a dark time for Stella
