The Mighty She-wolf of King novel Chapter 40

Eric felt like his life was already falling apart. After leaving the Doctor's office, he felt numb to the bone. Nothing seemed to matter at the moment. Even with Dolph, his Beta, and Trevor, his Brother-in-law calling his name he just couldn't do it. Only the moon Goddess knew how he would act when his mate final passes.

"What is wrong with you, you look like someone just eat then shit you out and then beat you until you looked like a zombie," Trevor spoke.

"Eric wants wrong, did something happen?" Dolph translated for Trevor. "Does this have to do with Beta Blake?"

Just hearing her name made him want to break down and cry. "Not here," was all he said. "Somewhere no one will hear."

Eric and Dolph made their way to the Hall were the Pack held their meeting while Trevor stood guarding the door. Eric was almost thankful that no one was around because he wasn't too sure this he was about to say without breaking down.

Once the two friends found a seat in the middle of the room, they sat in their chairs in silents until Eric could finally say a word, "Blake... my mate..." he choked out his words, trying to breathe through it without the lump in his throat hold him back. "I can't tell you. No one must know."

"You know you can tell me anything. What you and I say, will not leave between the two of us."

"The moon Goddess is punishing me, my friend." Eric looked in his Beta's eyes with tears forming, "Today, I learned that... my mate will not be mine for long. Any day now she will be taken away from me and I can't stop it. No one can," He whispered hoping that saying it any louder would have him choke on his words.

"Is this about Alpha Seth," Dolph growled thinking that someone lowers than the King could make him look like the world was about to end.

"No," Eric shook his head, "No. Not even he knows as it should be." Dolph watched his friend run his hands through his hair multiple times as if it would solve all the problems but I wasn't working. Whatever was happening is wasn't going to solve that easily.

After sitting here in silence for what felt like forever, Eric finally said something, "Where is she?"

Dolph knew what he meant, "She was in the packhouse for a few hours, then at train grounds, after but she left to take care of things else were about twenty mins ago."

"Where?"

"Please, I just find out some really bad news today. Someone," he began to choke in front of her.

With a sigh, Blake saw the man before shake with his head down. No, the king should ever have his head down. For a split second, she pulled him into the house and into the living room, leaving him in the middle of the room to closing all the curtains.

"Come here," she whispered sitting on the, her back was against the armrest and a leg stretched across the on the couch while the other leg touching the floor. "Come on now. You'll only get this treatment once," she announced. Looking at her, she didn't know how true the words sounded to him. Patting her belly, he came over, resting his head against it, laying himself on the couch.

Blake patted his head, running her hands in his hair. "My mother used to hold me and my brother like this when we were children," she started to say. "And when she died, I used to do it for Ross until he started to say he was too old to be held anymore." She smiled," He used to say that I smelled just like her," Eric could hear her choke just a little. "Somehow this always made me feel better. So If you have to cry, I would do I know." Eric didn't realize that moment she said those words he did. He wrapped his arm around her thigh, bring her leg off the floor, making her legs now hug him.

The Moon Goddess was truly a cruel woman and he was going to make sure that he was going to make these moments count. But first, he wanted to have this moment and let these feelings out. His mate was truly a kind woman, caring, strong, and lovely.

She continues to gently pat his head until he had nothing left to give but he knew that it was a matter of time before he would wish he could have this moment again with her. Turning himself on his belly, trying to not hurt her in any way, he wrapped his arms around her sides, resting his chin on her.
