Chapter 35 Chapter 35
Derek's POV

Our mate growls louder and sinks her canines into the she-wolf deeper, and we all stare, surprised by this.

"Baby," I say cautiously, "let go, honey, so we can take her to the cells. "I try, hoping she doesn't kill, because that shit haunts you.

She drops the other wolf and snarls in her face, looking every bit the ruthless Luna we didn't know she was. She shifts back fully dressed, another thing that startles us. Vince quickly moves her and grabs the wolf. 

"You dare say that shit about just giving a baby to the enemy? "You deserve a beatdown, you stupid bitch." He slaps cuffs on her and shoves her to the other warriors.

"Luna, are you okay?" Victor goes to Anna, looking her over.

"Yes, I'm sorry I just reacted badly, but no one says shit about my baby...ever," she growls, then goes to her seat and sits before looking at me in apology. Fuck, that was hot as hell.

"I'm sorry, Derek...Liam. I never meant to be rude and interrupt," she said, looking at her food and closing the containers.

"We were pretty much done; Angel just got to the question portion of the meeting." I say, smiling at my mate, but her eyes remain on the table. I notice her hands tremble.

"Liam, can you go hold her? She needs it." I mindlink him, and he hurries over. Vince sighs as he takes his seat by her and looks at her face. He looks up and frowns.

"Alpha, I hear it in the link; she is crying," he says, sounding hurt for her. He sighs and pushes gummy bears her way, but she nods no.

"Please eat honey," he whispers and gives her a drink.

"Can you get me a Sprite, Vince...please?" She looks at him as a tear rolls down and his face looks sad.

"Yes, Luna will be right back." He runs to get her a drink. Liam gets to her and picks her up and sits, pulling her onto his lap and kissing her head. He looks at me with worry on his face.

"Baby, it is okay; you're okay, angel. Relax for me, baby," he soothes as she shakes.

"I don't know what comes over me, Liam," she whispers. "I almost killed that bitch for saying to hand over our pup, but I'm not like that," she sobs softly to him. I see many pack members looking at her with worry as she cries into his neck. She isn't a violent wolf, so this shocked her to the core, I bet.

"We know, baby, trust me, we know, but you had every right, honey; you're a mama protecting her cub. "Don't feel bad, baby; just relax for me," he said, kissing her lips softly.

Vince came back with all kinds of drinks, and she smiled softly up at him, wiping her tears away.

"Here, Luna, I grabbed a few drinks. "Drink whatever you want...please don't cry," he whispers, sitting beside Liam and helping her hold her can of soda.

"Thank you, Vince. I'm sorry for asking you to get it, but I felt really shaky." She looked guilty as our eyes widened and we feared for her health now.

"Do you need the doctor?" Victor asks, looking at her with concern.

"I can carry her to the infirmary," Vince shoots up, looking worried.

"I can carry her," Liam growls, glaring at him and flashing canines at our warrior.

"I'm sorry, Alpha Liam. I meant no disrespect, but we all consider her our sister, and we worry for her. "I didn't mean to overstep, Alpha." He looked down in guilt.

"Don't be mean to him," Anna hissed. "He is doing his job and being my brother at the same time," she gasped, covering her mouth, shocked at her attitude and outburst towards Liam.

"Awww, she called me her brother." He looked at Victor as his actual brother and smirked. "It's nice to be valued as a sibling. See, Victor, you could learn from our sister here." He was being a smartass, but it made Anna giggle, getting us to relax.

"I'm sorry, Liam. I didn't mean to snap at you." Years filled her eyes and flowed down her cheeks. Vince sighed and sat and patted her back, trying to soothe her.

"No, Sis, I overstepped; he had every right to say something. I'm sorry, Alphas," Vince apologized to us but looked at Liam.

"It's fine; I shouldn't have acted that way. I know all of you warriors care about her; I shouldn't have growled at you. I'm sorry," Liam apologized.

"I'm sorry, guys, for starting stuff I never meant to," she whimpered sadly.

"Meeting dismissed," I order. "Warriors stay and everyone gets sleep; we start training tomorrow." I give the order. Everything leaves but our warriors, and once the room clears, Anna loses it sobbing.

"I'm sorry," she sobs. Every guy in here winces and looks torn up over her upset.

"Luna, it is fine. You're fine. Everything is fine. Don't cry," the warriors say, trying to help. She is a hormonal mess, and I hate it for her.

"I'm being mean," she sobs. "I dropped my gummy bears, snapped at Liam, and almost ripped a heifer's throat out for just speaking her mind, but she said to just give my child to a douchebag twatwaffle that needs a branch up his ass," she sobs, and we all lose it laughing.

She jumps but continues crying as we all laugh till we are crying. Our sweet Anna said the most off-the-wall shit that it cracked us up.

"Fuck, baby, we love your crazy ass," I chuckle as she tries to glare.

"I sound bipolar, Derek...fucking crazy," she bawls.

"Baby, you're a mom protecting her pup, and if you didn't react like that, I would be worried. Honey, you love our kids and can react whatever way you want. Fuck what anyone thinks...plus it was hot," I joke, and she looks up, sniffling.

"Pervert," she mumbles, making us laugh.

"You meant what you said," Victor says, making us look at him in question. "You meant what you said when you said we are your brothers." He looked at Anna. She blushed and looked down before looking up fondly at him.

"Yes, if that is okay...if not, I understand, but you guys always look out for me and help me like a brother would, and..." She pauses, looking more embarrassed. "I love you guys; you're my family." She blushes more.

"Thank you, Luna, and I will be honored to be your brother," Vince says, smiling.

"We all would," all our warriors say together, and Anna starts crying happy tears. Now to talk about the power she put off in the room—that shit was strong as hell. Where did it come from? Fuck, it was strong, very fucking strong.
