Chapter 41

Aurora pov

I felt relief, and my tense muscles relaxed slightly. With the beta away on a mission, I wouldn't have to deal with his questioning and suspicious looks.

"The alpha wants you to know that everything is under control, and you're safe here," the guard said, his expression softening.

I nodded, trying to appear grateful and reassured. But my mind was already racing with thoughts of how I could use this temporary reprieve to my advantage.

"Thank you for letting me know," I wrote, trying to look calm.

The guard nodded and turned to leave. "If you need anything, just let me know," he said.

I nodded and watched as he closed the door behind him. As soon as I was alone, I let out a sigh of relief and began to pace back and forth across the room.

I had to think of a way to get out of here before the beta returned. But for now, I had a small window of opportunity to come up with a plan.

But first, I would have to resume work. I know I wouldn't be as strong as I was before, due to my pregnancy, but I still had 2 months before I gave birth.

I took a deep breath and steeled myself for what lay ahead. I knew I couldn't afford to show any weakness, not now. I had to be strong, for myself and for my unborn child.

I walked over to the small desk in the corner of the room and sat down, trying to organize my thoughts. I had to prioritize my tasks and focus on the most important ones.

As a fashion designer, I had a responsibility to the pack and city to provide best styles and attention. I couldn't let my pregnancy get in the way of that, no matter how challenging it might be.

I began to make a list of the tasks I needed to complete, trying to break them down into manageable chunks. I would have to pace myself, take regular breaks, and make sure I didn't overexert myself.

But I was determined to do this. I had to do this. For myself, for my child, and for the pack.

I resumed my work, and things were going smoothly, with my investors increasing their investments and fueling my rapid growth. It was five days before my due date for my pregnancy, as calculated. I was at my workplace when I suddenly felt pain in my tummy, as the babies were showing signs of coming.

"Why would they be coming before the due date?" I thought.

I bent slowly, as my employees held me, helping me to walk.

As I walked slowly, supported by my employees, I couldn't help but think that this wasn't supposed to happen yet. I still had five days to go before my due date.

Panic started to set in as the pain intensified. My employees quickly called for an ambulance, and I was rushed to the hospital.

The hospital was a blur as I was whisked away to the delivery room. I remember hearing the doctor's voice, calm and reassuring, but I couldn't focus on what she was saying.

All I could think about was that my baby was coming early. Why? Was everything okay?

The doctor's voice brought me back to reality. "Aurora, we need to get the baby out as soon as possible. Are you ready to push?"

I nodded, taking a deep breath as I prepared to push. The pain was intense, but I was determined to bring my babys into the world safely.

With each push, I felt progress, of my babies moving closer to being born. The doctor and nurses encouraged me, their voices a steady stream of support.

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, I heard the doctor say, "One more push, Aurora!"

I summoned every last bit of energy and pushed with all my might. The room erupted in a chorus of cheers and congratulations as my babies was born.

I lay back, exhausted but exhilarated, as the doctor placed my babies in my arms. Tears of joy streamed down my face as I gazed at my little ones, my twin faces was the beautiful thing that I have ever seen.

But as I looked into one of my babies's eyes, I saw something that made my heart skip a beat. Something that made me wonder if everything was okay after all...

As I gazed into my baby's eyes, I saw a flicker of something unusual. A flash of yellow, like the glow of the full moon. I felt a shiver run down my spine as I realized that my baby's eyes were not quite... human.

The doctor and nurses were cooing over my baby, congratulating me on the birth of my healthy little ones. But I knew what I saw. And I knew that something was not quite right.

I tried to push the thought aside, telling myself I was just being paranoid. But as I looked into my baby's eyes again, I saw the yellow glow once more. And I knew that I had to find out what it meant.

Just then, the door to the delivery room burst open and the alpha walked in, a look of concern on his face. "Aurora, how are you?" he asked, his eyes scanning the room until they landed on my baby.

And then, his expression changed. His eyes narrowed, and he took a step back, as if he had seen something that surprised him. "What's going on here?" he growled, his voice low and menacing.

"It's a twin," the doctor replied.

The alpha let out a deep breath as he walked up to my second baby. I stood there, smiling at him.

"You are a very strong woman, Aurora, giving birth to twins, all male," the alpha said, carrying the baby in his arms.

I stared at the alpha, as I had many thoughts racing through my head. This was just the beginning...
