Khai's POV"I'm coming, my love," Lilith whispers as her body rises from the bed, I feel her in and around me. She's awake, and I'm shook. Immeasurable pain lances through her and I. Turn Theo and I as her conscience snaps into place.Thank fuck!Blinking her eyes open she immediately seeks the pair of us with tears and anguish. She's awake... but how?How did she just snap out of this state she's been in for weeks?Bolting upright she feels every inch of herself, but lastly her stomach as she cradles the boys living deep within her womb."When?" She croaks. But we do not answer, the pair of us remains mute in disbelief that she's awake and talking.And though we shouldn't, the pair of us take a step back as we straighten up in silence, standing before her as we create space to be able to process that she did, indeed, wake up at our demands. Swinging her legs she tried to stand, noting the cannula's placed in her arms that she pulls out in anger."No, you can't stand!" Theo mutter
Hati’s POV“Sir, we’ve lost all communication with those at home,” Darius mind-links me in the middle of the night as I lay besides Belle and Lora as Belle feeds the child to keep her from screaming blue murder.We’ve had a hell of a day, the child hasn’t slept and wants nothing to do with anyone but Belle, and Gretchen is less than impressed that we’re already running out of the potion she made.We’d argued for hours when she refused to make anymore, claiming I’m using to much and it might be detrimental to the child’s development. Yet a quick punishment and fuck alter her tunes had changed.That’s not to say I didn’t make her sit at my feet for the next few hours as her welts crusted over whilst I stared at her unwaveringly.“You do as I say, Gretchen. I own you, and you’d do good to remember how you came to me,” I remind her.Way back when she’d had nothing, her family having thrown her out. And her kind having disowned her completely. She had nothing when she stumbled on my land,
Lilith's POVI cannot control my emotions as they rip through Damian's land. Wiping out anything living. Burning every single part of the place I once considered home, to the ground. I make sure that Theo and Khai facilitate taking the children and then I go to town burning down everything in my sight.The house, the forest, and even the bunkers that were my once my torture chambers as nothing but a child. And then I fell to the floor, falling into a sleep so deep that I hadn't even felt Theo and Khai taking me home or placing me in bed back in our own land. And I sure didn't ensure the children followed us home as I left their previous home burning to the ground in my fit of rage.I wake in the middle of the night to an empty bed and no mates. And though for the first few minutes I'm okay, things come crashing down on me like a brick wall as reality kicks in. I should be sleeping, tucked up in bed warm and comfy with Lora near me or at least in her bedroom not far a down the hall
Three Weeks Later Hati's POVWeeks pass as we adjust to living here below the burned pack-land of Leo.I cannot believe he's still alive, but then again what more can I expect from these peasants and their ability to slip through my fingers?The child, Lora. Or Lorrie as we've been calling her has settle very nicely. She's sitting by herself now, rolling around and has become very content within this smaller pack of mine, and everyone loves her. Worshiping their lunar even in this childish stage of her life.And the girl, Calley, keeps a very close eye on her.That day was quite something when we tied our blood in a bonding agreement."Eko, eko, azarak. Eko, eko, zomelak. Bagabi lacha bachabe, Lamac cahi achababe. Eko, eko, azarak. Eko, eko, zomelak," Gretchen had changed as she created the bond that would be undeniable."Repeat after me, girl. I, fill name, solemnly swear to bind my blood with Hati in agreement for servitude. Bonding our blood forever more as I lay my life down at
Theo’s POVThe days have passed in unimaginable pain as I mourn the theft of my child, and I also watch my mates do the same thing.I feel like an utter failure, and as I sit and ponder the reality I then realise I lost my best friend, beta and Calley and Arlo in one foul swoop.How did such a thing happen so easily?Especially when we trained to prevent such a thing.Even Danes members failed miserably and he’s travelling here today, his communication less than moody.I’ve been sitting alone in my office pondering life and the atrocities that have amounted to this very day and I see all of my failures. Can count them precisely.I suppose that’s why I’m avoiding everyone.What type of Alpha fails his people?!My computer pings with an email, giving me a welcome distraction as I jump out of my own mind to concentrate on something other than the trashy surrounding me.It’s Dane, he’s crossing the border. Warning me incase the pack decide to attack.I feel awful, despite being down two t
Hati's POVA further two and a half weeks have passed as we live in this humid and small place in hipster being on top of one another. My men have broken all the agreements I even made with Gretchen, her witches becoming the slaves they are used to which had disfavoured the respect the witch have held for me. But needs must and all that.Even I and finding it hard not to play outside of Belle.Take yesterday for example.Calley had been caring for the child as she has been for over two weeks, ensuring Lorrie remains quiet and happy to limit the time the child spends with Belle.I'm not stupid and I had noticed how she would try to prevent any crying coming from Lorrie.The child has grown far quicker than I thought possible, her growth excelled.She's standing against furniture, giggling and eating some solids, but that's just a trigger for me.I've told Calley she must feed from Belle and she's purposely ignoring my request. Ensuring Lorrie skipped three feeding sessions yesterday.
Lilith's POVDane is adamant that Damian isn't dead and equally as adamant that I can use my memory to summon where his whereabouts.Apparently the witch side of me can teleport, and that's a given because I have done before but never have I teleported to a person specifically, only a place.But the more I think about it, the more it makes sense.Of course it does, if I can summon a place, then I can summon a person, right?I just have to practice, apparently. It still astounds me how much he knows about me when most know nothing about me at all.And it just so happens that I feel closest to him out of anyone I've met.I'm having a bad day today, pain is radiating along my back, a sharp stabbing pain accompanying it whenever I stand for to long.I think it's the twins, my boys that are currently safe within me.I miss Lora.I miss Calley.Heck, I even miss Lucas.I can only hope that one of them with with my baby girl, that they are doing everything in their power to protect her from
Khai's POV"Aaah!" She screams as pain radiates through her mid region. I hadn't expected her to wake from her nap in pain, I also hadn't expected her to tell me we won't be finding Lora but she did that to and despite knowing she probably has the gifts to see such things, I deny her allegations and pretend that we will find her. To say she took me off guard would be an understatement but all I could do was call for Theo Lilith has gone into labour a whole week before she's due but I think that's normal for multiple pregnancy but no less scary as she freaks at the pain and wails into my shoulder.She labours in bed, standing up and even in the shower.The whole time crying for Lora, feeling as if she might be replacing her with the children coming out from within her tummy.Sadness fills the room and the three of us did not enjoy the birth process at all.Our sons entered the world screaming loudly, clearing their lungs within minutes of each other and though Theo and I wanted to c
