I don’t know how, but I want him to fix this. He seems to be the type to always know what to do.
I was always strong and didn’t need anyone, but it’s weird that he gives me a sense of strength and safety.
When he took back his rejection, I felt my wolf come to life like a cool wave washing over me. Then when he told me to mark him… I knew it was for this baby, and that’s all that mattered to me. Our baby deserves to live.
The strength I felt was immediate. The pain in my stomach had subsided, and then whatever he had injected into me seemed to work. I had felt a similar sensation to how it felt when Kiara healed me in the past. A strong surge of coolness washed over me.
He looked guilty. The worry in his eyes so raw and intense that I didn’t know what to say. The way his hand rested protectively on top of mine on my stomach…
I was about to say something when Kiara had come, but when she tried to heal me… nothing changed, and when she spoke, I understood why. Leo saved our baby by himself.
The sheer relief I feel is unexplainable. My baby is safe.
Thank you, Goddess. Thank you, Leo.
He had turned away, simply saying ‘good’ in that cold, emotionless voice of his. That cold exterior had returned with full force. I now look at Kiara and Raihana.
“How are you here?” I ask them.
“Your mate got Uncle to call Kia, and, well, I was the teleporter here.” Raihana smiles, her brown eyes warm. Kiara nods as she caresses my hair.
“Leo called you to this pack?” I ask, uncertain of what to think.
“Excuse us.” The doctor smiles politely, and all four women present leave the room.
“He did.” Kiara smiles. “For you.”
My heart skips a beat, but I remain silent. I feel as if I’m not in my body, as if I am looking down on all of this. The most important thing is that my baby is okay. Our baby.
“He sure has changed. I’ve not seen him in years. He’s lost his pretty boy looks,” Raihana remarks, making Kia smile.
“It has been ten years since we saw him…” she says sadly.
Ten years… yet he called them for me. Well, for our baby. He did this for our baby, not me, and that’s okay, because at least I know now that although he hates me, he cares for our pup.
There is a knock on the door, and I adjust my gown before the door opens, and there stands Marcel and Alejandro.
“Hey there,” Alejandro greets me. He cups the back of my head and kisses my forehead.
“How are you feeling, Azura?” Marcel asks. I feel a little guilty that he didn’t know I was pregnant with his grandchild…
“I’m okay,” I reply.
“And so is the baby,” Raihana adds as Marcel gives her a hug.
“I’m glad to hear that,” he says quietly.
They make small talk, but I am unable to focus. The weight of the situation is heavy on my shoulders. We have marked oneanother to save our baby… but… what about us as a couple? It isn’t enough. It just… isn’t. He doesn’t want me… but now that he knows I am carrying his child, will that change his mind? I don’t want that. I don’t want that to be the reason… I just don’t.
“Are you okay?” Kiara asks, running her fingers through my hair.
“Yeah.”
I have my hand on my stomach under the sheet, feeling relieved. Seeing our little baby on that screen again and Leo’s reaction, it was a moment that I don’t think I’ll ever forget. I am a mess.
“Well, it’s late. I think we should all head back to mine. You haven’t come here in years, and it would be an honour to have you here. Azura, I think you are better off at mine, too.” Marcel smiles gently at me, and I nod.
“Sounds like a good plan. I think I’ll spend the night with my sister whilst you two catch up,” Kiara states, smiling at the men.
“Ah, sounds like a plan,” Marcel chuckles. Although Alejandro doesn’t seem too keen on the idea, he simply nods, his eyes on his mate.
“I’m going to head back. Thank you for the offer, though, but I haven’t even brought my clothes or anything,” Raihana says with a toss of her long dark hair. Marcel chuckles.
“Ah, of course, how can I forget that you need your essentials? However, thank you for coming in time.”
“Obviously I do, I have a reputation to uphold. Also, there’s no need to thank me. We weren’t really needed, but I’m actually glad to have popped down to see that ass of a Rossi after years.” She shakes her head before smiling at me. “Get him on a leash, girl. You’ve got it in you to get him in line.” She winks at me as Kiara chuckles.
“Thank you, Raihana.” I smile slightly, and she gives me a nod before she chants a spell. A wave of power fills the room beforeshe vanishes.
Being the eldest granddaughter of Endora, she is the one to inherit that magic. Witchcraft is passed down from eldest daughter to eldest daughter. Endora herself never had a daughter, so it went to her first granddaughter. She is a powerful witch and the Luna of a pack as well.
“I need to clean up a little…” I say. My legs are covered in blood, and I feel sticky.
“Yeah, sure, but I think the fucking question is, how the fuck did you end up in hospital to begin with?” Alejandro asks. I freeze mid-way from pushing my blanket off and look at them as all three turn to me. Marcel frowns deeply.
“The Delta of this pack attacked her. That’s all I was told by my Beta, who has him in a cell until Leo deals with him.”
“Leo, not you?” Alejandro asks, taking out a cigarette.
“Baby… not in the hospital,” Kiara reminds him softly.
I get off the bed, the blood that coats my legs a reminder of what almost happened. Emmet…
“Fuck,” he grumbles, shoving the pack back in his pocket.
