I stepped out of the labor ward, my mind filled with a whirlwind of emotions. The exhaustion from a long shift mingled with worry and confusion as I thought about Aurora, who had just given birth.

But unlike the usual joy that accompanies such moments, an unsettling unease settled within me as I remembered the sight of her passing out after the birth of her babies which was still surprising to me that she gave birth to twins.

Hailing for a cab, I respond hastily. "I have something to sort out" Climbing into the cab, I ordered that driver to take off before Jax could come after me. When out of Jax reach, I ask the driver to pull over to the side of the road. Reaching out for my phone, I put a call through to Gary. "Hey, Aurora" He answers in a chirpy tone. "How are you doing? How are things in LA?"I clenched my fist, trying to suppress the anger I felt over the fact that Gary was still not telling me that he was at the hospital. But I wasn't going to keep on playing dumb.

I understand""But--""Could you please watch the kids for me? I have to use the restroom" she says, handing the girls over to me--without waiting for my response-- and dashing off. "She really wants nothing to do with you, man" Casper says, stating the obvious. "Well on the bright side, your kids might"No sooner had those words come out of Casper's mouth had the girls burst into loud cries. "I guess I spoke too soon" Casper corrects himself.

How was she undeserving of love too when she was one of the purest soul I'd ever met?Suddenly drawn to her, I crashed my lips onto hers. When I didn't get any opposition from her, I made an attempt to deepen our kiss but was instantly pushed away by her. "What do you think you're doing?!" Mabel shrieked. "I'm--I'm-" Words failed me as I'd initially come her to apologize but had just made matters worst. "Get out of here, now!"Without hesitation, I jumped out through the windows; running at full speed to anywhere my legs wanted to take me. What was wrong me?. How could I have suddenly felt an attraction for Mabel? If these feelings were real, what about my feelings for Aurora?.

He's a monster""Don't call him that" I defended. "I was the one who had pushed his button""Even though, he should have known when to stop. Herla won't take this lightly with him. I'm pretty sure she's going to ban him from entering the pack house ever again"Lorella had a point. Even though Herla was Aurora's mother, she was also the pack's mother--a mother to us all-- so therefore her words holds the final say regarding the pack. "And I heard that because of Tate, Kil nearly got creamated" Lorella continued. "What!?" I shrieked, wincing as I felt a sharp throbbing pain in my abdomen. "Be careful""How did that come to be?" Tate really crossed the line this time. Herla didn't play with her kids, not Aurora and definitely not Kil. If anyone as much hurt a hair on their heads, the next 30 seconds
