Falling in love with my Ex's Alpha Chapter 157

"Please, can you go faster?" I ask, and Kaiden doesn't even bother to answer. I demanded the same thing less than a minute ago.

After reading my brother's message, panic took over my body. He sent the same message to Jake and Jay, who were as shaken as I was, but each in their own way.

Jay freaked out and couldn't think of anything else. We first had to calm him down before planning what to do.

After responding that we were on our way, Kaiden gathered a team of emergency warriors to go along. It took a fight over mindlink and words for Kaiden to let me come along.

However, in the end, he gave up because Char needed my help, and he wouldn't be able to fight well if he was worried about me alone at Diamond Claw.

So, he left Bel and Dean in charge because there was no way Jay would be left behind, and then, we got in the car to head towards my pack.

Before going, the Omegas prepared a backpack for me with some things that could be useful during the trip. I thanked them and took the backpack with numb hands, not believing what was happening.

Bel wanted to go along, but it was her duty to take care of the pack like Gamma; she said goodbye to me with a comforting hug, and I almost stopped what I was doing and cried in her arms.

"How long is it to arrive?" Chad asks from the back passenger seat. The last time we came to my pack, he didn't come with us. This time, there was nothing to ask; he had to come, especially because he is my protector.

"Just a few more miles," Jake responds, patting Jay's hand, who has a distressed look on its face.

The cars of the warriors from the team that Kaiden separated follow behind us at maximum speed, just like us. Although still difficult to access, the roads don't have as many holes or obstacles as before. I didn't know the extent of the pack's barrier protection. I didn't know the extent of Ruby's power.

'It's going to be okay, we're almost there,' Kaiden mindlink to me with one hand on the steering wheel of the car and the other holding my hand, I squeeze his hand, and despite always being calm with his touch, I can't stop thinking about Dustin's message, or worse, his lack of a message when I replied that we were on our way.

Could something else have happened? I don't even want to think about that possibility. I try to calm down while I rub my belly with my other hand because I don't want to pass on all this stress to the baby.

Even with the car at maximum speed and the surrounding landscape distorted by speed, it seems like time doesn't want to pass.

"We're here!" Jake shouts in relief, giving me a startle when I see my pack's entrance arch... or what's left of it. I put my hands over my mouth, and my eyes widened when I saw that part of the bow was destroyed. I've known every detail of that arch since I was a child. Seeing it like that makes me even more scared.

Kaiden continues accelerating the car towards the packhouse while everyone in the car looks around at the ruins of my little pack.

The smell of smoke in the air invades my nose, as does the smell of blood and death. Houses were invaded and broken, and there are some people dead in the streets who don't seem to be from the pack and some who do seem to be members of the pack...

My heart breaks into a thousand pieces at the sight.

I can feel the same shock in everyone in the car. I didn't feel people like that before when I was human.

'It's because you're Luna now, and you have me,' Ruby replies.

'Everyone was so happy here,' Kaiden says via mindlink to all of us, seeming to not have the courage to say it out loud.

I feel my hands, which are still in shock, over my mouth get wet, and I realize I'm crying. I dry the tears. This is no time to cry. It's time to act.

A few seconds pass, and we arrive in front of the packhouse; Kaiden stops the car, and all the cars behind him park haphazardly in front of the packhouse in whatever spot they think is available.

Everyone gets out of the car in a hurry, and I see my parents and Beth at the entrance to the packhouse as if they were waiting for us.

As soon as Kaiden opens the car door for me, my parents come running to me. They stop in my path when they notice my huge bump, my mother's mouth opens in disbelief, and my father looks at Kaiden and me.

I'm apprehensive about their reaction. I let them down, I let Kaiden mark me and now this is all my fault.

"Where is my sister?" Jay asks, breaking all of our daze.

"She's in there with Dustin," my dad replies, and Jake and Jay make a beeline for them.

Vick slept the entire trip and is in the car still asleep, which was good because she didn't need to see all these scenes around us, or it could trigger her.

"You're pregnant," my mother says with her eyes full of tears and then completes the remaining steps to get to me and hugs me.

Then my father does the same, and I hug them back. "I need to go to Char. I have to save her!" I say, ignoring the elephant in the room.

My mom holds one of my hands, and my dad has my other hand, and they lead me into the packhouse with Kaiden behind us.

Beth sees me entering the packhouse but doesn't say anything to me, still looking like she can't believe what she's seeing before her.

I continue walking with my parents until we enter the living room, and I see Jay kneeling next to the sofa where Char is lying, unconscious. My brother is standing on the other side of the couch, Jake next to Jay, with a hand on his shoulder for comfort.

I let go of my parents' hands and run as fast as I can towards her, Jay gets up and makes way for me.

'Please, little Luna, save my sister!' he begs me for mindlink.

"What happened?" I ask because Char's body is not only seriously injured, but also her heartbeat is irregular, I smell vomit in the room, it seems that at some point, she must have vomited, even though I see no sign of vomit, the smell still lingers around her.

"Isn't it obvious? The pack was invaded when the barrier was broken," my brother shouts impatiently, and I wince at his words. Everything is my fault.

Kaiden approaches me and looks at my brother with hatred in his eyes. I already know that he's going to start a fight, so I hold his hand and cry out for mindlink, 'Don't.' And by some miracle from the Goddess Selena herself, he obeys.

But it's Chad who says, from the other side of the room, "Katie was dying! Kaiden had to mark her, or she and the baby were going to die!" all eyes snap to him.

"What?" my parents and my brother ask in unison. My mom comes to me, "What happened? Why didn't you tell us?"

I feel something for mate bond that I hadn't felt until then.

No, I must be wrong. It's not possible... is Kaiden *scared*?
