Mag-log inMarabella POV “There are two options. One, you go into labor naturally and birth the hybrid like a human or a wolf. Staying calm will be the only way for that to happen. Otherwise, the second option is that this child could turn and tear you apart.“That is for Cain’s abilities to decipher, I’m afraid. As for me, I can tell you you need to drink more water. Being dehydrated won’t help with the pain.“You also need to keep yourself fed. As much as I am sure these alphas have occupied you most of the time, you need to keep up as much strength as possible.“I’m going to give you some herbs from my garden to help, they’ll keep you hungry so you remember to eat, and then others will help with vitamins and all of that,” he said, standing up as Jordan held his hand out for the notebook.Galen handed it over, then looked at my mom. “Pearl, you look like someone who appreciates the value of our plant life. Would you care to join me in the garden?“I daresay the herbs you pick will be of the m
Marabella POV A man was in the garden, digging and troweling as he hummed. I raised a brow, and Jordan smiled.“He’s a little eccentric. But he is the best doctor we have. He’s obsessed with flowers,” he said, and stepped forward.“Actually, I am obsessed with their healing properties, Jordan, but thank you for the introduction. I assume this is Marabella Valarian, the pregnant winter born?” the man said, standing and brushing the soil from his pants.He was tall and had an impressive look, even considering the graying hair at the sides of his slicked-back black hair. He wore a loose white cotton shirt.Jordan placed me down and nodded as the doctor came forward.“I am,” I said. “And this is my mother, Pearl Valarian. She’s—”“—a stunning specimen. Welcome, Pearl,” he said, grabbing her hand and kissing it, looking over her intensely.Mom stammered a little before blushing, her other hand going to her chest as she smiled. “Uh, thank you, Dr…?”“Call me Galen,” he said in a seductive
Marabella POV I woke to hushed voices; my body was heavy, and my eyelids felt even heavier. I fought through the fogginess in my head, wincing as it pounded a little.My lips were dry, but my stomach no longer radiated pain through me.“She’s awake,” Brax said, and I let out a sigh of relief that he was okay.He connected straightaway, and I lifted my heavy arms for him. “You’re okay,” I breathed.“Garrett is dealt with,” he said, and his lips pressed against mine.He pulled away, and Jordan took his place, kissing me softly.“You should not have pushed yourself, beautiful. I have given your mother permission to drug you into unconsciousness if you attempt something like that again,” Jordan breathed against my mouth.I smiled weakly, then opened my eyes, meeting his intense gaze. “I didn’t mean to. I just had to get Brax to accept the strength from us.”Jayden chuckled, leaning over to kiss the top of my head. “Little Human, Brax was never in danger,” he said.I frowned. “But he was
Marabella POV He was clearly faster and stronger, but he refused to use his shadows on his pack member. He didn’t want to have that advantage, he wanted to beat him as a wolf. but I hated seeing him hurt.“You’re quite pale. Maybe pull back a little? I don’t understand the link stuff, but maybe it is not safe for you?” she said, but I shook my head.“I have to know he is okay.” I trembled as he was pinned to the ground, Garrett’s teeth gnashing at him, almost reaching his neck.Brax growled and threw him off as Jayden and Jordan edged the sidelines, looking deadly as they stood there, legs apart, hulking frames dominating the space.They were lending strength to Brax, and he was refusing it.I shook my head at the thoughts he was trying to keep to himself. The self-destructive ones. The ones that told him he was strong enough on his own, that he didn’t need the others' strength.But that was the point of having merged the three separate packs, to be one unit, and not using Jordan’s a
Marabella POV I needed him too. He was my connection, he was the one who understood my shadows, understood that part of me like the others didn’t, and probably never would.But I believed what we had was strong enough, and I had hope that Brax would eventually be mine too. So, for now, I was going to enjoy my mates, and when Brax came back, him too.I moved to the bathroom, looking over my shoulder at my hungry mates on the bed.They were insatiable, and I had a small window to get the last of the heat from my veins.“Coming with me? I need to wash before going to see my mother.” I smiled, and they both came in with me.I sat in the bath, my alphas washing me, caressing me, still stuck in the aftercare stage of the heat. I wasn’t complaining, but my heart ached for Brax.“Brax?” I asked down our link, and he let me in. He was running as his wolf.“Just clearing my head, Spitfire. I’ll be there soon,” he said, and I watched through his eyes as he ran.“It doesn’t feel right without
Marabella POVI had no furniture left. No energy. No breath. My alphas had claimed it all.The heat had well and truly seared every part of me. The power from my alphas, the way my shadows writhed beneath me it had been intense. Like the dam had broken the second we had been alone.I had been naked in a second and claimed in the next. I felt bad that my mother was stuck in a room alone, but I couldn’t resist the heat or my alphas.The howls had finally died down from outside the window, though the pack power was still hot in my veins.My magic had been enough to keep the females satisfied, every single one finding the sated feeling that I did, and no Taylor outbursts this time, which was nice.I let out a heavy breath, my eyes fluttering closed as my body tried to tap out. I had well and truly been ravaged, my alphas not leaving a single piece of furniture untouched, and my skin was mottled with fingerprints.My mother might kill them yet for that, but for now, I was relishing in the
