ALICIA P.O.VDays passed swiftly and my womb grew faster, the pain got severe but following Helen’s instructions made it bearable. During these few days Helen told me a few about the cost and duration for having the child of a werewolf in someone’s womb.For both werewolf parents, the female werewolf was supposed to give birth after the end of three months but from her explanation, the cost of a human carrying a werewolf in the womb could go the wrong way. She said the human could die in the process and it could take even shorter than three months.I was seated alone on a long bench outside the temple. It was cool weather, the sky was moist and the wind blew softly. Luckily, I wasn’t in so much pain today like usual and that enabled me to think more straight.I remembered all my pleasant experiences with my friends during my stay outside the country. I knew that my mailbox would be full by now. I miss them so much. Even my poor father who is left in the shadows. I needed him by my sid
ALICIA P.O.V "Ahhh…" I screamed when my muscles cramped. My backbone ached terribly as I noticed a loose feeling In my joints. The pain was so severe that I couldn't take a step.Helen and Paul rushed me immediately. I didn’t know what was happening around except for the severe pain I was feeling. I felt someone lift me off the floor and just then the pain took over.The next time I realized myself, I was on the bed. I wailed out again in pain. I felt the baby in my womb but no matter how I tried to push, it would not come out.I could hear noises and chartering sounds. I wanted to speak but I couldn’t, I just could not voice the words."Alicia," The worn out voice resounded in my ears. "Alicia push," At the second sound of the voice I realized that it was Helen.I yelled aloud in pain at another attempt to push the baby out. I felt a painful contraction in my muscles again, all my attempts didn’t pay off so I gave up. I felt a hand rob softly on my belly still with the same words fo
ALICIA P.O.VEverything was dark, I didn’t know how long things would stay this way but taking my last breath didn’t seem pleasant. I knew that it was pain but at that instant I couldn’t feel it anymore. It was all blank, like I was about transiting to a different state.I couldn’t believe that this was how it would all end. Both pleasant and painful memories flashed before my face. Every time I cried, every time I messed up, every time I took the wrong steps. I saw them all. I watched it until the atmosphere changed and I found myself in a beautiful field.It was fair weather and the sky was bright. Wondering where I was I got up from the grass. I looked around and it was all endless fields. While looking around I spotted a lady who seemed my age staring from the distance. I didn’t get a clear image of what she looked like but all I needed was to talk to someone right now.“Hello,” I called but the young lady turned. As soon as she walked away I pursued after her. “Hold on,” I called
ALICIA P.O.VSome minutes later, I walked out of the temple with Marcus. We sat on a long bench outside the compound. The celebration was still going on inside the building and Helen was also with our child.“So… what did you want to talk to me about?” I asked.“I have something to tell you but firstly I need to apologize,” he said.“You have nothing to apologize for Marcus; I have already forgiven you…”“No, it’s not about what I did to Kelvin nor is it about calling Katherine a witch,” he interrupted me. “I want to apologize for calling our son a beast. I didn’t know how much that hurt you and I should not have said something like that considering your position at that time.”“I understand, you were scared that it would cost me my life,” I said to prevent him from continually blaming himself but he would not stop.“I am sorry for leaving you to do this alone…” he continued. Knowing no other way to stop him, I held his hand watching his eyes with understanding.“What you did was terr
MARCUS P.O.V It was hard to survive without my Father, Harold and the rest of my pack members. I also knew that becoming a true Alpha wasn't enough to ensure the safety of my child but I was not ready to return to Catalina Island. I was not ready to face my father after how badly he treated me.I am determined to raise my child without Harold's help but deep down I was also worried if he was wrong or if it was just my pride getting in my way.I could lie to everyone else, I could say that I wasn’t worried about my parents or my pack but I was wrong. I was worried about them, and in fact, those thoughts haunt me in my sleep every night. I couldn’t help but wonder what Luther had been up to during my absence. Has he gotten enough nerves to stand up against Harold, was Gaius still able to protect Harold and Lisa from that lunatic?Those were the things which troubled me but In the end even though I wanted to help, my hands were still tied because Harold would never want to set his eyes
MARCUS P.O.VIt was sunset in the evening and we had a few guests. They were familiar faces and thankfully everyone was aware that I was a werewolf.I knew it would please Alicia so I invited Katherine and Kelvin over but unfortunately Katherine was the only one who showed up. She said Kelvin couldn't make it because he was engaged.I knew it was more than an engagement. I knew he was upset that even despite his attempts to tear us apart we still ended up together.The few people that were present were Stiles, Katherine and Tyler. We were all seated together at the dining table while Emily served the dishes. While having fun we heard the sound of the doorbell."Are we expecting any other visitors?" Alicia asked."Let me check, perhaps it could be Kelvin," Katherine said. Getting on her feet she left for the door. I heard a male voice which sounded familiar and unfortunately when I looked I saw that it was Flynn and Rina.I knew that I had invited them but I didn't know they would make
MARCUS P.O.V This wasn’t good, I knew that Stiles knew about my kind but I was not sure if he knew as much as I thought he knew. The sudden burst of smile over Alicia’s face showed that she was enjoying it.If Stiles doesn't meet Flynn's standards he could feel unqualified to accept my proposal to stand by me as a part of my pack."First question," Flynn mused, staring at Stiles like he was searching for something he couldn't figure out. "How does mating start in werewolves?" "It starts when the werewolf finds and imprints on another werewolf," Stiles answered promptly."Nailed it!" Rina exclaimed and we all laughed."That was simple but I assure you that you won't like the second one.""Let's hear it," Stiles said."Okay. We both know that vampires and werewolves are dreadful enemies but I'd like to know how vampires and werewolves can interbreed?" "There is no mystery to it because you just gave the answer. Despite their differences they can both relate with each other. A hybrid
ALICIA'S P.O.V Throughout the ride I kept thinking about what it will feel like when the moon rises. Before now it all seemed like superhuman beings were a fantasy but at this moment I will not be witnessing one turn but I will be the one feeling those hurting twirls.I could feel the cool evening breeze creep on my skin while staring out through the open car window. The night sky was filled with countless stars. It was a perfect day after all.I am scared but at least it's better that this time I won't be dealing with death. It could be that shape-shifting has a more painful process but if that is what could guarantee the safety of my child then going through those hurting flames would not be as bad as I think.Lost in my thoughts I felt Marcus's warm palm around mine. I turned to meet his stare."Are you nervous?" "No, I'm frightened," I replied."I know, but It will pass," He said."I don't feel like I am strong enough to handle the pain," I said to him and he patted my hands ge
