Chapter 0344 Mallory I got shot. I got fucking shot. The bastard shotin the stomach.

My head is fuzzy, yet being shot is the only thing that is clear.

"She's waking up." I hear Eric and I hear the relief in his tone.

Warm fingers lock around my wrist and another set presses against my neck. "Pulse is strong." I squint one eye and see Klaus smiling at me.

"I was shot." I mutter, opening my eyes fully. I'm met with silence. My fingers move to my stomach. Bandages cover my entire torso. I start to pick at them. I needed to know how bad it was. I was pregnant.

"Mal stop." Eric's hands grab mine, pulling them back as I let out a whimper "But I'm pregnant!" It wasn't how I wanted to tell him. It was supposed to be a surprise. I wanted to tell him tonight, when everyone is on the pack run.

It's funny how silence can be deafening. It takesseconds to connect the dots. I had been shot in the stomach. The bandages that wrapped aroundsuggested that my wounds were extensive. Which could only mean one thing, I had lost our pup.

"Mallory...." Klaus starts "No. I already know. I was just...." I turn my head towards Eric. "I'm sorry." I'm trying to hold it together but my chest is tight and my lungs burn with the need to scream.

I could see it on his face, there was something else he needed to tell me.

Eric squeezes my hand. "The shot did too much damage, Mal. It, um... it...." I had never seen him lost for words. The news was worse thanjust losing a pup.

"It's like Raven's leg." I whisper, knowing what he couldn't say. "It can't heal." Not only had I lost the pup. I had lost the ability to have them. "Mal, I'm sor...." "It's fine." My body was trembling. It wasn't fine, but I had to focus on something else. "Is Brax dead?" He was the fucker that shot me.

"No." Eric replies calmly. I was expecting him of Damient to have ripped Brax's guts out for what he did to me. "Why fucking not? He is why I'm here. He is why I lost the pup. He fucking shotand he knew I was pregnant!" "Mal, it wasn't him!" Eric stops"What are you talking about? He is the only one with guns." "A Lycan was fighting him over it. The guy was going to shoot Neah. Brax tried to get it off of him, but when it went off, it hit you. Neah killed the guy." Klaus tellsI should feel better. The idiot that shotwas dead. But I don't, I just feel sore and empty. How something so tiny could leave you feeling so empty was something I didn't understand.

"You should go on the pack run." I mutter to Eric. "I will be okay here. I will just..." I look around the room. "I guess I will just rest." "Mal, the pack run was two nights ago. Because of the damage, your body has been slow to heal." "Oh." "There is something else I need to tell you." How much worse could it get? Eric runs his hands through his blonde hair. "Raven's dead."

I stare at him with my mouth hanging open as Eric and Klaus fillin. I still didn't fully understand what had happened and l'almost felt like I was E in skind of dream or maybe an hallucination from all the drugs. What he was tellingdidn't seem real. A soul taking over another soul.

"How's Damien?" This could be the very thing that tips him back intoRogue habits. He toldRaven was his light, that she kept him grounded.

With her gone, it was a matter of time. "That's the thing everyone is worried about." Klaus mutters "Please tellhe hasn't turned Rogue?!"

"That's just it. He hasn't. He is quiet but getting on with his Beta duties. He isn't acting like someone who lost amate. Brax is watching him constantly." "That's going to make things worse." I sigh white shuffling in the bed. It would be so much easier if they just stood on the sside rather than makingturn my head back and forth. Content belongs to Ashburn X
