Chapter 64


    64 Emergency And A Choice Luke.


    TWO WEEKS LATER.


    Tia and I spent a lot of time indoors. I had slowed down my activities, so I could be with her as often as


    possible. I did not want her going through her pregnancy alone. I wanted to be there every step of the


    way, so I had to be less busy. Because of that, I ended up helping her carry Kimberly for her check-ups.


    The two of them were bonding nicely, which was terrific, and every time I saw how close they had


    be, I was worried Tia would miss her when Kimberly leaves. I really hoped Caleb would make her


    change her mind. She was a great girl for him. Caleb was making efforts too. I guess he was beginning


    to see the errors of his ways, but from my observations, Kimberly had already made up her mind. It


    wasn’t in my ce to tell my brother she was nning to leave for good but knowing that she still slept


    alone made me realise it might be for the best. I thought Caleb would put in some extra effort like he did


    when he tried to take Tia from me, but he wasn’t. It was almost as if he was taking her presence for


    granted. I hoped he would realise his errors before it was toote. Tia helped Kimberly, and there were


    days Kimberly woulde by our house and spend the entire day there. Tia’s pregnancy was also a bit


    difficult for her to adjust to. She was nauseated most of the time and found it challenging to keep food


    down sometimes. Doctor Genevieve said it was normal and that people react to pregnancies differently.


    Kimberly imed hers was worse, and the thought that she did it all alone was sad. I decided I would


    speak to Caleb about Kimberly after our meeting. Mike told me they had found out certain things about


    Luis’swork, but they had yet to figure out who he was and where he was. The frustrating part was


    that it seemed like the man was ying with us. He clearly knew we were looking for him, and he was


    leaving trails of breadcrumbs that led nowhere. I was worried about the other stuff that I would find out


    about my father that might be unpleasant, but as things were, It was best to prepare my mind for the


    worse because my father had hidden too much from me. There was no way he had no clue. what he


    stole. If he could try to pass my mother’s wealth as his own, I wouldn’t put anything past him there. My


    mother must have known the kind of person he was, which was why she named everything after me. All


    the issues and unanswered questions made me decide to dig into my mother’s death. I needed to know


    why she was poisoned and who did it. It might take a while, but right now, every piece of information we


    get is vital to propel us forward.


    I left Tai in the morning and promised her I wouldn’t be long. We were meeting at the headquarters, and I


    needed to be there physically. Only a few high-ranking military officials were going to be there. I wished


    Tia could join us. Her quick thinking was critical, but she threw up most of the night, so I figured to let her


    sleep through the morning. I would have to run everything by her when I return. For now, we would make


    do. Kirk was also a good analyst. Their scores were neck to neck, but Tia beat him in almost everything


    except the physical examinations.


    I arrived at the headquarters to find everyone there. Caleb, Mike and Kirk were already discussing the


    strategy before I came.


    “Good morning, Alpha,” they all greeted me, and I answered. It was amazing to see my brother take up


    the Beta role happily. Just like me, he, too, did not want to be Alpha. The goddess granted him his wish


    at my expense.


    “Nuclei Corp is registered to a guy called Luis Moon,” Mike said, and I was stunned. This was obviously


    a joke. “Age fifty. He lives on Santa Braee Ind. If we want to find out more about this guy, we have to


    lead a secret mission to go there and investigate. “Mike said, and Kirk shook his head


    “It is another breadcrumb. Maybe a trap this time. We should only follow that trail when there is nothing


    else to look into,” Kirk advised. “What if we are overthinking this shit, and the guy is actually there?”


    Caleb said, and I sighed. “I doubt he would want to make finding him this easy, and if he does, it might


    be to achieve something. I think we should put Santa Braee and Luis Moon as viable options but keep


    searching for other clues. If we have to follow that lead, we will have to lead a small group there to keep


    the mission secret,” I said, and Caleb’s phone started vibrating non-stop. After a few minutes of


    continuous calls, I asked him to answer it.


    He did not want to answer it at first, but I told him it was okay. It wasn’t long before he answered the


    phone when he got up; ready to leave. “What is the matter?” I asked him.


    “Kimberly is inbour, and Tia is with her in the hospital,” He said, and I got up too. We headed out, and


    someone brought my car. I did not want Caleb to drive in his current state of mind, so I offered to take


    him to the hospital. Seeing the way he was behaving. I knew it would hurt him when Kimberly left, “Hey,


    you need to calm down. ” I told him, and he sighed. We both got into the car, and I started driving “You


    need to make it up to that girl because she ns on leaving after the DNA test,” I told him, and he


    eximed.


    “You do not expect her to hang around after the way you treated her. Pregnancy isn’t easy. We are just at


    the beginning of it, and it has been hard with nausea, mood swings and irregr temperature, name it.


    You let her go through it alone. All by herself, all because you believe the baby wasn’t yours. It is sad,


    you know.” I said, and he sighed. “It wasn’t like that. My mother forced everything. You have Elisabeth to


    deal with, so you understand how it feels to be tricked into something. I have been trying for a while


    now,” He said.


    “You need to try harder because she ns on leaving even after the DNA proves the baby is yours. She


    told Tia she is leaving you, Caleb.” I said, and he was distraught. “I didn’t mean for it to get all messed


    up. I fucked up big time, Luke. I am really sorry for how I kepting at Tia. I did not know how to


    manage my emotions. I am sorry about everything. I know she is happy with you; I have never seen you


    this happy either. I am d you two made it work, Luke. I will always love her, but I am letting go


    because I know she is happy with you, which is what I want for her. I love her enough to let her go, but


    Kimberly is different.


    like her. I have been trying recently, and I have started developing feelings for her. Hearing that she


    wants to leave with the baby is hard. I promise I will make more effort. But please talk to Tia to help me


    talk her out of it. Tell her I am willing to move out of the moon mansion so we can raise our child far away


    from my mother after I marry her, of course,” He said, and I pulled into the hospital’s parking lot. “I thinkText ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    you should tell Kimberly that yourself. It muste from you.” I said and parked the car. We rushed into


    the hospital and were directed to the maternity ward. Tia was pacing about the ce in her sweater,


    jeans and swollen eyes from tears. I ran towards her and held her. “What’s the matter, baby?” I asked


    her, and she began to sob.


    “Kimberly is havingplications. We did not arrive on time. They said they might have to operate, but


    her blood pressure is too high. They are trying to bring it down before they operate.” Tia said to me, and I


    was afraid for Kimberly, Caleb ran his fingers through his hair in total shock. His eyes were misty


    immediately.


    .


    “You need to calm down, Caleb. This is not the time to get emotional. You need to be strong.” I told him,


    and he nodded, but his tears were already flowing. They were tears of fear and regret, and I wish I could


    help ease his conscience, but there was nothing I could do about it. He had fucked up big time. “How did


    you get here?” I asked Tia, realising that she wasn’t well either and was supposed to be in bed.


    “Kimberly called me when her mucus plug cante off. I drove to the mansion to pick her up and brought


    her to the hospital before calling Caleb. I called you a couple of times, but you must have put your phone


    on mute,” She said, and I hugged her and kissed her head. “Did my mother know she was inbour?”


    Caleb asked Tia. “I don’t know. I moved quickly. Bart and Norman were the ones that helped me get her


    into the car. She was in pains by the time I got to the mansion,” she answered him, and he nodded, but


    he was still distraught. The doctor came to us at that moment. “Alpha Luke, Beta Caleb, good morning?”


    he said, and I read his name tag. “Doctor Philip Newman, how is she?” I asked, and the doctor sighed.


    “We are doing all that we can. She hasn’t dted beyond six centimetres, so we have to do a caesarean


    on her, but her blood pressure is too high. It is risky. She might die if we operate, but the baby doesn’t


    have much time. We have to get the baby out of her and then try to save her life; we will need her mate


    to sign consent forms because this cooperation isplicated, and it can go either way,” He said, and I


    looked at Caleb. “I will sign it,” He said and followed the doctor. Tia was panicking, and I held her. This


    was not a good thing because she was pregnant, too; it took a bit for Tia to embrace the idea of being a


    mother. Kimberly’s predicament might cause her to be afraid. I held her and kissed the top of her head.


    “She is a wolf, Tia. She will survive it.” I said to her, and she began to cry. She was afraid for Kimberly’s


    life. I was worried for her, too, but I held it together. I hoped, for Caleb’s sake,
