LUNA FOR THE TWIN ALPHAS Book 3 : chapter 61
One morning, in mid-August, Ian found her with her hands clutching her round belly and her gaze lost in the void.“What's the matter?" he asked, kneeling down beside her. Is something wrong? Would you like me to send for the doctor?”In reply, Eden took his hand, placed it on her belly and smiled at him, his face beaming with joy.“Can you feel it? It's moving.”And under his hand, indeed, something gave a little shock. Eden’s baby. Ivan’s son. An ordinary little miracle, welcomed with joy and gratitude by all the parents in the world. He, on the other hand, felt on the verge of nausea. He didn't want this child, and hated himself for it. He tried to maintain a neutral expression, but Eden had felt the slight withdrawal of his hand and asked.“What's the matter?”“Nothing's the matter.” He couldn't admit anything to her. Eden needed serenity, not the obnoxious rejection of her unborn baby. “I was just worried. Does it hurt?” He felt another little tap under his palm, as if the chi

Time skip December 7th“Find yourself a chair, and don't stand in our legs!" exclaimed Dr. Hamilton.But Ian couldn't sit still. He paced tirelessly over the carpet of his study. A roaring fire burned in the fireplace, while outside, the first flakes of winter swirled by the windows. The short December afternoon was already drawing to a close. Eden, like the doctor, thought the baby would arrive the week before; but it was December 7, and she had been having contractions since dawn, when the omega had woken him, apologizing for interrupting his sleep. Ian rushed to the stables, woke up two grooms and sent them for the doctor, then rushed back to his wife, only to be firmly barred from her door by Gwen and Mrs. Kingston. He had to content himself with pacing up and down the corridor, his ear to the ground. Nothing, silence. Then a shout. He ran to the door and opened it: Eden’s face was pale and concentrated, but, thank God, not distorted by pain.“Ian," she told him, "try to ge

Eden woke up exhausted, broken, but incredibly happy. Yet, strangely, she felt like crying. A quiet sob cut through the silence in the room.“There..” said a deep voice close to her ear, as he wiped her eyes. Eden turned her head and saw Ian handing her a lace silk handkerchief.“Thank you," she said.She dabbed at her eyes.“But you know, I cry because I'm happy.”“I know you are. I'm very proud of you. You're very brave.”“Where is she?" murmured Eden, trying to lift herself onto the pillow to get a better look.“Right beside you. Let me help you.”He took the baby from her cradle and handed her to Eden.“You're taking very good care of her.” Eden said, with surprise tinged with tenderness.“Thank you, Eden.”Ian avoided her gaze, not daring to look her in the eye.“She's so small, I'm afraid of hurting her.”He gently moved his hand forward to touch the child's cheek, but his gesture froze.“What's going on, Ian?”An icy doubt seized Eden, piercing the cloud of happiness that ha

“Jade?" suggested Ian.Eden was speechless.“Really? You want to give her the name Ivan wanted for his child?”“Would you mind very much? I think she should have something that connects her to her father, even if he doesn't deserve it. Maybe not as a first name: people know that Ivan and I weren't very close. But as a middle name, why not? What was your mother's name, or do you have an idea?”“Nadia. My sisters are called Hanna and Selena. why not Amara?”“Are you sure?”“And sure, even if you don't realize it yet, you're her father Ian. I want her to have a name that connects you to her.”“Amara-Jade Boyle”“Oh, yes Did you hear that, Amara? Your dad gave you a name.” Eden glanced briefly at Ian and said to herself.“I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said Dad, like that. I just thought.”“You were just thinking. I've already explained to our daughter that she has to listen to what her daddy says. So she stopped crying and looked at me attentively. Squinting a little, of course, but hardly

“Milord, I'm sorry to disturb you, but you have a visitor.”“And who might this be?” asked Ian, lost in his documents.“He introduced himself as Reverend Chase, Milady’s father.” Ian looked up from his documents“Where is he now?”“In the living room, sir. Shall I report it to Milady?”“No thanks, Jackson, I'll take care of it. Did he come alone?”“No, sir, there's a lady with him, but she didn't introduce herself to me.” “All right, you take care of them while I go up and see Eden.”“Okay, sir.”Ian wondered how Eden would react to this news.Eden was watching the garden from her window, watching her daughter sleep peacefully and eager to see her grow up, when suddenly someone knocked on the door and the alpha entered.“Eden, what are you doing so close to the window in this weather? You'll catch a cold and so will the baby.”“I was just lost in my thoughts, don't worry.” Eden sensed that something was wrong. “What's the matter, Ian? You look constipated.”Eden’s remark made the al

——6th of January——— “Your Grace”Eden gave a deep curtsy like Alexis had taught her to do. Immediately her hands were grabbed, and one of the most handsome young men she had ever seen helped her to her feet.“Please, call me Alastor, " replied the Duke of Avery, kissing her on both cheeks. “Ian,” he exclaimed enthusiastically, “where did you find such a pretty omega?” “Just looking at her to know you don't deserve it.”“You can let go of her now, Alastor,” Ian said quietly, smiling. The look on his face, however, indicated that he was ready to slay any man who got too close to Eden, whether he was a duke or a prince.Eden felt overcome with excitement. She was a little apprehensive about this baptism reception, but, for the moment, everything was going wonderfully. The only downside in recent weeks was that Ian avoided sharing her bed, probably to let her rest a little after giving birth. Since Amara’s birth, however, the alpha seemed more distant than Eden would have liked. W

The day after the christening, it began to rain heavily, much to Eden’s dismay. With her brief experience as mistress of the house, she wondered what he was going to do with all her guests, on a rainy Saturday, after matins and lunch. But her worries proved futile. The bishop retired to his room to read his sermons, the older ladies took up their embroidery, telling each other the latest neighborhood gossip, while the younger ones obligingly kept the children occupied and did a thousand favors for Amara, as well as for Leon, Iris and Jasper’s baby. The alphas had disappeared. Some of them had withdrawn from the bishop's sight to play cards or billiards, while others had gone to visit the stables. As for Eden, she sat quietly, sometimes making sure the babies weren't too tired, sometimes simply enjoying the rain drumming on the windows and the crackling fire in the hearth. Jasper entered the room, his hair soaking wet, and leaned over to whisper something in Iris’s ear. She loo

What had happened? What had gone wrong? Ian contemplated in the deserted corridor, as stunned and shocked as if someone had just cut open his chest and ripped out his heart. He'd thought he'd made Eden happy and brought her security. But that had only been an illusion, which had now been shattered. He didn't know how he was going to make things right, or even if it was possible. No doubt Eden was in her room. Toby stood at the door, whimpering miserably. Ian knocked on the door, then turned the handle. To no avail. The bolt was pulled. Swearing muffledly, he tried to open the boudoir door. Locked too, as was the door to the baby's room. He knocked again.“Eden?”SilenceStriding to his own room, Ian tried to open the connecting door. It too was locked. Exasperated, he pounded his fist on the panel.“Eden, my angel, will you please open the door?”Through the wood paneling, he heard the child's startled cries, which put an end to his anger almost immediately. Amara must b

March 26th “These flowerbeds are going to look great this summer.”Eden leaned against Ian by the window of the large living room, above the flowerbeds that Johnson and his men, including young Trubshawe, were preparing, burying the flower bulbs.“Amara is growing, too. It's late March, spring is in the air.”Ian put his arm around his omega’s shoulders and drew her closer. It was still a shock for him to know she was his.“Do you think it's possible to be this happy?" asked Eden.“No, not usually," he replied, smiling. Then he leaned over to tickle Eden’s earlobe with his tongue, watching for her reaction. “But I know lots of ways to enhance the sensation.”“Oh, I know that.”Eden tried to react like a respectable viscountess and show a little reproach towards her rascal of a husband, but she hardly succeeded.“As it happens," Eden whispered to him in an engaging voice, "we have no obligations either this afternoon or this evening. I've kept us a few moments free, since we're packi

Ian made it his own, sensing that this was their real first time. The alpha forced himself to control his desire and keep an eye on Eden’s, which rose and rose, until the final conflagration, the simultaneous deflagration.“My love…”Ian gasped again. “Forever and ever. Forever and ever.” “My omega,” Ian whispered, stroking the back of her neck.Ian looked at his omega with such tenderness, as if he couldn't believe he had it all to himself.“You're mine, aren't you Eden?” The alpha asked, looking tall and majestic above her“All yours” Eden nodded vigorously, her breath catching as she felt Ian’s hands wrap around her ankles, caressing her calves before spreading them apart, making more room for between her thighs“Yes," Eeen murmured, "yes, all yours, mark me.”“Are you sure?”“Yes, I want to be yours, completely”Ian let out a tiger-like growl just before he bounced on his prey, before leaning in, his mouth hot and heavy as he rubbed his lips across Eden’s cheek, up to her chin,

“Sir”It was Philips' voice that brought Ian back to earth; he'd just lost the most important person in his life.“Sir." Philips insisted in the face of his master's silence. "I'm sorry to disturb you, but we await your orders. It's getting dark, the current is preventing us from crossing and continuing our search, so I think it's best to go back inside, get warm, regain your strength and start again tomorrow. Also, you'll have to prepare for the worst, sir, with the low temperatures and the cold.”“Are you mad?” Ian asked, his voice full of fatigue but above all full of bitterness. “Excuse me, sir?”“My wife has just been carried off, I don't know where she is or what state she's in, and all you can tell me is to go home, get warm and prepare for the worst. So I repeat, ARE YOU CRAZY?”“I'm sorry, I…”“Enough... Send Jem to tell my Aunt and Alexis to take care of Amara. Then gather all the men near the clearing with the best hunting dogs you can find. I want everyone to get to work,

Ian first saw the shattered pillars of the bridge, then a wavering figure stepped out to meet him, a small dog barking frantically at his heels. Ian jumped down from his saddle and Toby leapt into his arms. A baby's cries could be clearly heard over the roar of the river.“Where's my omega, Philips?”“Still in the car, milord. With the maid and the baby. The footman's a little hurt, but he'll be alright. I sent him for help. It was the floodwater that caused the bridge pillars to collapse as we drove over...If we make any sudden movements, it'll cause the rest of the bridge to collapse.” Ian put the dog down and ran along the bank, the coachman on his heels. When he reached the carriage, Ian had to fight the urge to jump straight into the water to save his family.“We need ropes, horses and... Ah, thank God, there's Murrow!”The carpenter galloped down the hill, pulling his wagon team along. When he reached the bank, he braked with the reins. The men with him jumped down from th

We'll go down to the hotel, Mary," she announced to the maid, pulling from her bag the London guidebook she had taken from the library. Let's see which one is the most suitable..The horses slowed as they took the path that led to the bridge over the river. Eden glanced out the door at the fog-shrouded landscape, then back to her guide. “The Pulteney looks to be the most comfortable and central," she explained, trying to keep her tone light, "but it's certainly very expensive. Let's see.”The sedan lurched forward and, at the sound of hooves on logs, Jimin realized they had reached the bridge. There was a terrible creak. The coachman screamed and the sedan pitched sideways. Eden tried to grab hold of Amara, but her hands could only clasp Mary's dress as Icy water invaded the darkened cabin. They had fallen into the river.Ian waded to the edge of the torrent, the water almost completely submerging his high boots.“Too late," he announced. The dam's already broken. There's no way

Breakfast the next day was more tiring than Eden had imagined. Ian behaved with impeccable courtesy. He smiled at her, spoke to her politely, and when Eden sent the servants away so she could talk to him about what had happened the day before, Ian simply shook his head.“Let's not talk about it anymore, Eden. We've got to put it behind us. Your nerves were on edge after a few days at the reception.”Eden wanted to apologize, to explain why she had lost control of herself. If Ian pretended that nothing had happened, would she be obliged to leave for London and let this unspoken issue hang over them forever?There was a knock at the door, and Jackson entered. Behind him, several men in working clothes could be seen gathered in the corridor.“Lord and Milady will excuse me," he began, "the rains have caused the river to burst its banks. Turner sends word to the lord that he fears the mill dam may break.”“I'll be off then”Ian put down his napkin, stood up and walked into the corrido
