Chapter 68


    68 Live For Us


    Luke.


    I did not know what to say. My father was smiling, and I knew he had no clue what was happening.


    “What about the DNA test?” I asked Doctor Green.


    “The baby is yours, Alpha, but he has no key mark.” Doctor Green replied, and my father eximed.


    “What! Do you mean the child isn’t an heir? All these troubles for an ordinary pack member? She stayed


    at my house, ate my food and troubled my son and his wife for this?” My father asked, and I tried to shut


    him up. “Father, stop it. The baby is in critical condition. He has a hole in his heart from all the medication


    Lisa abused for attention.” I said, and my father was in shock. He staggered backwards.


    “May we see him?” I asked the doctor. “You can look at him from the ss, but he is in the ICU.” the


    doctor said, and we followed him. What I saw broke my heart. The baby looked so tiny and helpless, and


    he seemed as if he was sleeping, but he wasn’t. He was fighting for his life, hooked up to the tubes and


    machines, Trying to live. My father touched the ss in pain, and I knew he was fighting back the tears.


    “That bitch did this to my grandson,” He said with so much rage, and I could not stop him because I was


    fighting my emotions too. Why did Elisabeth do this to him? Kimberly was ignoredpletely, but she


    never endangered her daughter’s life. Elisabeth was cared for and pampered. The only thing was that I


    wasn’t with her, and I couldn’t be. Even if I wasn’t with Tia, I would have still made that demarcation


    between us, so she doesn’t get any ideas into her head. I was angry at her selfishness. I hope she is


    happy now.


    “Doctor, if he survives this, what will be the quality of life he would have?” I asked the man, and he


    sighed. “He would not be able to do physically strenuous things. He will be okay with the right medication


    until he gets his wolf and his body fixes the issue,” The doctor said, and I frowned Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    at him.


    “Once his wolfes, he will have the fast healing ability, and then his system will fix itself, but that is if


    he can survive this for twelve years. We have medications that can help, but the next seventy-two hours


    would determine if he would survive or not.” The doctor said, and I thanked him. It sounded like hope, but


    I knew it would be strenuous on the boy.


    “He is a fighter, Alpha. Elisabeth should have had a miscarriage with herst stunt, but he remained. Let


    us just keep our fingers crossed. I wouldn’t want to get your hopes up. I will advise that if he survives, do


    not give him to his mother. She doesn’t have the mental capacity to care for a delicate child.” the doctor


    said, hinting that Elisabeth was mentally unstable, and he was right. Only a mentally unstable, selfish


    woman would harm her unborn child just to gain attention.


    “That bitch, I swear if he dies, I will charge her with murder,” my father said.


    “I want her out of my house today!” my father continued, and I nodded, telling him to calm down. Right


    now, the boy’s health is the most crucial issue. I did not know how to break the news to Lisa and Tia. It


    was sad news. Tia had wanted to take the child and care for him if he were mine. We did not even know


    if we would leave the hospital with the baby. Elisabeth had really hurt herself.


    I went back into the room with my father. He was controlling himself from attacking Lisa. Tia looked at me


    curiously, and if I wasn’t a gentleman and against beating women, I would have beat up Elisabeth at that


    moment.


    “What did the doctor say, Luke?” Elisabeth asked me.


    “It is Alpha Moon to you,” my father corrected her, ” You are not his mate, mistress or family. As a pack


    member, you call him by his title. We have tolerated you long enough, and now you have given birth. Do


    not expect the same treatment from us. I have told your Alpha I do not want you in my house. You can


    move in with your boyfriend now. ording tow, we are no longer responsible for you once someone


    has taken an interest in you.” my father said to her, and she sat up. I knew she should be healed by


    now.


    “Luke. what about our baby. I know he is yours. You are the only one I slept with without protection. That


    is your heir. Would you let your father kick me out with your only heir? Your wife has been unable to


    conceive all these months. If you do this, I will cut you off from us, and you will regret it,” she said,


    weeping. I could not tell her what had happened with the boy. I was still processing the news and did not


    think it was her business to know if Tia was pregnant


    I heard a p, and I looked to see that my father was the one that dished it. His hands were trembling


    from anger.


    “When I warn you, you make corrections. I will not allow you to disrespect me, my son and daughter-in-


    law like that again. Luke is your Alpha, and Tia is your Luna. We will dly cut you off from the mark if


    you can’t deal. Don’t ever threaten us with your useless boy again. If Luke hasn’t told you yet, I will. Your


    child has no Key mark, so he can never be an heir, and your selfishness is about to cost the poor baby


    his life because he has a hole in his heart. You should be praying to the goddess for a miracle instead of


    spewing nonsense,” My father said to her, and she was in shock. She cried out in pain.


    “No!!! My baby!!!” she screamed.


    “Yes, Elisabeth. Your baby was born with a hole in his heart because of those medications you took to


    induce symptoms. The baby is a Moon quite alright, but the doctor does not think he will survive it,” I said


    to her, and she wept. Tia came to hug me because she felt my pain. I might not like Elisabeth, but it still


    hurt that she would do this to my child. Yes, the baby had no key mark and will never inherit from me, but


    I would have loved and cared for him regardless. Tia would have doted on him, and he would have lived


    a full life We wouldn’t have treated him as a mistake, but Elisabeth just had to be her selfish self and cost


    him his life,


    “What will they do to save his life?” Tia asked, and I did not know what to say because the doctor


    seerned confused.


    “I want to see my baby I want to see my baby.” She cried, but no one answered her. “Luke, there is no


    reason to remain here. I think you should go home. Tia needs to rest. I do not want her to have a


    miscarriage because of this bitch,” my father said. I knew he was angry,


    and I could feel it. He hade there for the birth of the child. He would have loved his grandson


    regardless; it didn’t matter if he had a key mark or not. He would have loved him but knowing that


    Elisabeth’s selfishness had caused something that would cost his grandson his life angered him. I felt his


    rage, and it took a lot of self-control for him not to attack Elisabeth


    “She is pregnant?” Elisabeth asked, looking and Tia. She looked ashamed and felt betrayed


    “Yes, Lisa. My wife is pregnant. We wanted to take the boy from you and care for him so you can start


    afresh with Joey, but as things are, there won’t be a baby to take from you. You have ruined everything


    “What have I done? What have I done?” Elisabeth said, crying; she had finally realised what had


    happened.


    “I only wanted to be in your life forever. I got pregnant to keep a piece of you with me. I took those meds


    to gain your attention. I wanted to hurt you and Tia and ended up hurting myself. Please, Alpha Moon,”


    she said with so much difficulty.


    “Don’t let my baby die. I will leave him for you and walk out of your lives for good, but don’t let him die,”


    she pleaded, and I was shocked at how quickly she turned around. Hearing her son’s life hung in the


    bnce because of her actions, set her straight. She began to wail, and Tia went to console her. She did


    not try to push Tia away.


    “My baby, My baby” was all she could manage between sobs. “Leave her be, Tia. It is time to go home;


    you need to rest. Pregnancies are difficult in the early stages,” My father said, and when Tia did not leave


    Elisabeth quickly enough, he went to separate them


    “I want you to pack your things and leave the moon mansion,” my father said to Elisabeth and walked out


    of the room angrily. His eyes were misty, and I knew he did not want to shed tears in the presence of


    everyone. I was sad, too, and I was trying to hold my shit together. I instructed Bart to remain with


    Elisabeth while Tia and I walked out of the room


    “There must be something that can be done to save his life, Luke. We can’t give up like this, Luke. We


    have to try. Do some research, ask around..” she said, and I stopped her.


    “Let it go, Tia. This is the best hospital in Woodw. All the specialists are here. The situation is


    hopeless.” I said, sounding defeated, and she shook her head.


    “The doctor had warned us that this could happen a few months ago. He said he couldn’t tell us if the


    medication would negatively affect the fetus, but he hinted it could and could be bad. Lisa did this to


    herself. I just want to go home, Tia.” I said to my wife, and she nodded. She must have realised I was


    trying to keep it together.


    “Okay, give me the car keys, Luke. I will drive,” she said, and I did not bother to argue. I handed it to her,


    and we left the premises. The moment we sat in the car, I broke down. Tia wound up the tinted ss so


    no one would see me, and she drove out of the hospital. I did not know where she was heading until she


    parked on the cliff.


    “Luke,” she said and turned towards me. She lifted my hand and ced it on her belly.


    “Do not let what Elisabeth did, take away your joy. It would have been nice to have him, but as things


    are, it might not be that way. Maybe the goddess wants you two to have a clean break like you wanted


    initially before all this. Maybe this is what the goddess wants. At least she can start a life with Joey


    without having to deal with us, and we can continue living our lives


    without having to deal with her. If the goddess wills it, he will be okay, and I will love him as if he were


    mine, but if not, we will thank her for his life and know that he is in a better ce. We all need you to be


    strong for him.” She said to me, and I held her. She broke the hug and exited the car. She walked to the


    passenger’s side and asked me to exit the car too. I came out, and she hugged me Wrapping my arms


    around her, I took in her scent.


    “Breathe, Luke. Just breathe,” she said to me, and I inhaled and exhaled gradually as she had instructed.


    I held her trying to calm down. I hoped he would not die; I hoped he would ovee this. There was so


    much Tia and I could give him, and we were willing. All he had to do was live for us.
