The Billionaire's Baby Bargain #Chapter 212: Help is on the Way
Arthur’s PovMy chest is on fire. The hole in it has split open at some point during that pathetic fight with that weak gamma. The nerve. He thought he could take down his alpha? The thought of it would make me laugh if it didn’t mean chest would move.I notice Almara peaking at me, giving me a sideways glance, and I know it’s from a place of concern so I try my best not to give her any reason to worry. When she isn’t looking at me, I’m peering down at my chest making sure no fresh blood is seeping through my clothes.Up until an hour ago, there wasn’t any. We’ve walked well into the night and when we finally decide to rest and set up camp, I try not to let it show how weary I feel.Only when I think about Grace am I revitalized and ready to keep moving, mentally at least. Physically, I’ve ignored my body’s whispers for so long that now my body is screaming at me to stop. Everything aches.I know the nurses extracted all the poison from my body, at least the majority of it that would
The Billionaire's Baby Bargain #Chapter 213: Get the Team Together
Almara’s PovEarly the next morning, before the sunrise I sense Arthur stirring next to me. Leave rustle beneath is lethargic movements, his breath gets caght in his chest as he attempts to move. I imagine his body still wishes he was at rest, as does mine.“What are you doing?” I ask groggily through bleary eyes. The sky still has a twilight blue to it, the moon a faint silver in the sky.“Trying to get a head start on the day,” Arthur says through stifled breaths as he lifts his arms over his head to throw on a plain fresh t-shirt that we packed.I sadly know what he means by this. If we can get done the majority of what we need to before too much time passes, just maybe we can handle the inevitable bad that surely is to come with more preparedness.I let out a big yawn and pull myself up. My body aches, more from the weight of the stress than anything else. My bones crack and my joints are stiff. At least the temperature is mild.“How are you feeling?” I ask referring mostly to his
The Billionaire's Baby Bargain #Chapter 214: How to Get Grace
Almara’s PovAn hour later, the plan is drawn up in the first with all of us huddled around it. After Robert finally calmed down after my insinuation that he was a double agent, Arthur was able to express his idea that maybe Robert should do exactly just that.A rough sketch of the vampires’ territory is etched into the dirt with various rocks representing different buildings. This is all made from memory and as far as we know, the entire layout could have changed since we were there last.Who knows, with their newly acquired familiars everything about their setup could be different. The only building that we assume has to remain stable is the councilmen’s building. There would be no way to relocate it when it’s already the most expensive building in the center of the city.If anything, the councilmen would have every other market, housing, and road work around their building. Grace may not be held at that specific building, but the men in charge are and if we can at least get to them
The Billionaire's Baby Bargain #Chapter 215: Did You Forget You're the Alpha?
Arthur’s PovBefore we ditch our phones and get moving on delivering Robert to the vampires, my phone buzzes. I hesitate for a moment as the number flashing on the screen is only vaguely familiar.“Answer it,” Almara says pressing up against my side. Only because of her I hit the accept call button.“Arthur you need to make a speech down here at City Hall now,” The voice on the other line belongs to Cynthia, our publicist. I forgot I deleted all my publicist's phone numbers when Almara and I decided to go off the grid for a bit.She speaks as though rushed and shouting over some commotion, but even still it’s hard to hear.“I can’t,” I tell her and I know it isn’t what she wants to hear, but nothing is more important than getting to my daughter.“Enough with your excuses,” Cynthia practically screeches and I have to hold the phone away from my ear. “It’s a mad house in the city and you’re the top Alpha. You have to fix this. Now.”“What’s going on?” My father asks.I put my hand over
The Billionaire's Baby Bargain #Chapter 216: He's Dead
Almara’s PovWe’ve managed to get to the outskirts of town without a single incident. The military trained wolves had a knack for interweaving through the woods without making a peep and using intricate hand signals to communicate.I try my best to keep up with their signals, but mostly I just stay out of the way. They don’t expect me to do much which is good because I don’t think I can focus on anything else other than Arthur and Grace right now, let alone try to learn all of their hand signals.The military wolves don’t seem to have a problem with my lack of understanding and seem to be content with just looking out for me, maybe it’s because I’m their leader's wife or maybe it’s because I’m their Luna, but either way I’m grateful.Even Robert has lost his gloom and doom attitude and taken on the persona of a stoic military wolf. Maybe that is his way of coping with his very possible deadly fate. He’s gone further ahead of the group, wanting to reach the vampire territory long befor
The Billionaire's Baby Bargain #Chapter 217: I Don't Believe You
Robert’s PovLess than a mile left before I come up to the vampire's gate. I can’t believe I got myself into this mess. This is all Almara’s fault. If she kept her nonsense accusations to herself, I would be back with the pack.I almost went running back when I heard that horrendous howl. Who was that anyway? Then I heard Almara call back and figured she could handle it. I’m doing her enough favors.This land gives me the creeps. It’s like there’s something lurking in the shadows, and to be honest there probably is. What makes this barren, desert-like land even more ghostly is the fact that we’re about to enter nightfall.I try to just focus on the mission, ignoring the feeling- or knowing that I’m being watched. Soon enough, I’ll be under everyone’s scrutiny anyway.I reach the gate. A mile-long black metal ironed gate that separates two stretches of barren soil. “Identify yourself.” A voice that sounds to be a thousand years old breaks through the intercom. Showtime. “Robert from t
The Billionaire's Baby Bargain #Chapter 218: A Possible Suspect
Almara’s PovI’d be lying if I said that I wasn’t relieved to have Cathy walking beside me. I didn’t realize how much I needed to have a companion right now. At least this way I can project my thoughts rather than keep them trapped inside my head, just bouncing them around and driving myself crazy.We walk side by side, our footsteps fall into a matching pattern. I almost can forget we’re on a journey to vampire lands to save my daughter and restore the wolf nation and just pretend I’m going on a nature excursion with my best friend. Almost.“How are you feeling?” Cathy had asked me ten minutes ago and I’m still trying to unpack this loaded question. I wish I could say that everything is fine and nothing is new, as so many used to be able to automatically reply.Like when checking out at a store and the worker asks how you are, they aren’t really asking and you don’t actually want to tell. But that’s not how it is with Cathy. I know she’s genuinely wanting to know how I am and I could
The Billionaire's Baby Bargain #Chapter 219: Ambush Attack
Almara’s PovFinally, we come to the outskirts of the Vampire territory. My feet are swollen and my back is killing me, but above all else, my skin crawls. Something is off, every fiber of my being is screaming at me to turn back.It’s like my heart is in a tug-of-war match. My motherly instinct wants me to turn around and protect the life I’m growing inside me, but at the same time, I have to go get my other child.Fortunately, I’m not alone in this feeling. Instinctively, our pack has grown tighter together. Everyone is moving slower and chooses a spot to secure their eyes on and keep focus. We move quietly, discreetly.Roman is positioned in the front, carefully guiding us forward. The plan is to wait here until Robert calls us, or something happens and we call for him. I get the feeling the second option is more likely to occur.A place for cover would be nice, but of course, there isn’t any. The land leading up to the vampire territory is just like the vampires themselves, vacant

The Billionaire's Baby Bargain #Chapter 250: I wonder
Almara’s Pov5 Years Later“Cheers,” Arthur sys clinking his mixed drink of vodka and lemonade with my non-alcoholic lemonade. I’m pregnant, again. This pregnancy is completely different than my first two, I actually get to relax. Which is exactly what we’re doing in the manicured garden of our backyard.We sit stretched out on zero-gravity pool chairs, sweat
The Billionaire's Baby Bargain #Chapter 249: The End of an Era
Almara’s PovAfter a much-needed week of rest and restoration, Arthur and I are back on the vampire territory. I suppose that it can officially be called that again now that it has been reclaimed.My body healed magnificently after months of not only growing another being, but also fighting a war. It’s amazing what good rest and proper nutrition can do. Of course, the real healing ingredient came from the sacrificial love of my wonderful husband.Even though he suffered his own inju
The Billionaire's Baby Bargain #Chapter 248: Home Repairs
Almara’s PovFinally, after several journeys back and forth from our homeland to the enemies we come to the final steps. We saw plenty of wolves making their expedition back home and there was a unspoken agreement that what everyone needs right now is peace.Thankfully, no one came up to us with questions, grief, or comments. It’s like we have this new kinship with the gammas in our world that we didn’t before. We seem to understand each other, or at least truly see one another.
The Billionaire's Baby Bargain #Chapter 247: Family Time
Almara’s PovOn the way home we make a pitstop to a very special place. “Why are we seeing more dead bodies?” Grace asks, her tone telling me we are nearing a full-blown tantrum.“This body belongs to someone very important in our family,” I tell her calmly and hike her up on my hip. I’m not sure if my words got through to her, or maybe it’s her father's serenity as we ascend up one final hill to where Bess lays.Bess’s gravestone is set apart fro
The Billionaire's Baby Bargain #Chapter 246: Reunited
Almara’s PovWith the vortex closed off and gone, the air becomes breathable again and the storm lessens. Still, my paws squelch in the wet terrain.Unfortunately, as I look around at the battlefield and see the piles of bodies slumped over one another, I think it’s more than just mud causing the stickiness.I try not to look down at the innocent blood shed on the ground. As I take careful consideration to step over and around the bodies, I tell myself they chose to come out and hel
The Billionaire's Baby Bargain #Chapter 245: Finally Over
Almara’s PovCathy and I weave through the castle, barely missing rubble crumbling off from the stony walls. We leap over counters, using everything we have in us to catapult ourselves past knocked over statues of gargoyles and shredded velvet furniture.“Catch!” Cathy calls out and reflexively I snatch a jagged shard of ceramic in my hand. I recognize it from a broken pot on the ground. Then out of the corner of my eye I see something else flying at me, though I don’t catch it this time, I duck.
The Billionaire's Baby Bargain #Chapter 244: In Hiding
Almara’s PovI’ve never seen Cathy look more confident and proud than she does at this moment. She stands tall, cuts strewn across her body, but they only add to her tough exterior. She’s covered in her enemy’s blood and she has a thrilling look in her eyes.“Have you seen Arthur?” I ask cutting to the chase. Cathy nods back towards tall white cabinet doors. I turn back to look at my mother who nods in confirmation. I rush over to the door and throw it open.
The Billionaire's Baby Bargain #Chapter 243: Lead the Way
Almara’s PovI awake to a familiar beeping sound. It’s faint at first, like a distant call from far away until it’s suddenly blaring in my ears. My eyes shoot open and the blood in my body rushes to the important organs and I sit up with a jolt.“Where’s Grace?” I ask before I can make out anything else. “Arthur? Robbie?” I call out, hoping the sound of my distressed voice will cause Robbie to cry back.“Shhh,” a gentle voice says with
The Billionaire's Baby Bargain #Chapter 242: Surprise Attack!
Almara’s PovArthur flings open the door, this time it breaks off the hinges. I guess there’s no changing our mind now. I keep Robbie wrapped up in both my arms and under my shirt.Arthur uses his body to guard mine, outstretching his arms and a puffed-out chest as he keeps his eyes zeroed in on every moving body around us all while moving us forward and falling in exact pace with each of my steps.We fight through sideways rain and vicious winds, it dawns on me that this storm isn&
