Chapter 52- Zane

2022-04-23 04:04:46Dr. Grant knocks on the door before entering. Ari’s eyes dart to him immediately as if he holds all the answers. I guess in some ways, he does. He’s one of the only people who can help ease her anxiety by giving her the information she seeks. Ari lays back as she rolls her shirt up and adjusts her pants so the doctor can put the gel on her belly. I hold Ari’s hand to reassure her. I can’t help but agree that something will be off with our baby. The truth is, I’ve been able to sense that something is off with our baby, but I kept telling myself it was my anxiety about being a first time dad. If Ari is having intuition as to what my senses are telling me, then something is indeed off with our baby. The question now remains what?
The appointment starts off normal. We hear the baby’s heartbeat, which is strong. Dr. Grant turns the screen to us, pointing out various body part

Fuming, I head to Death’s realm. I need answers because right now, I have more questions than answers and more problems than I know how to fucking solve. I hate being at a standstill waiting for that one piece of information that brings the puzzle together. It’s infuriating, and it’s taking far too long to get answers.It doesn’t help that I’m frustrated at finding nothing. Ghost is acting like the perfect citizen, as if he didn’t try to kill a bunch of humans in his club to start a war. Then Sage and Liam acting all hunky-dory running their pack like everything is right in the world. They are up to something. No way they almost spark a war. Wait, that’s an option I never considered before. What if Ghost, Liam, and Sage are all working together for the same boss? Shit, it’s possible. They are the scum of the supernatural community, thinking they are sup

The rage I felt earlier fades away into pride and also disbelief. I always thought the coven was Death’s legacy, his ultimate achievement. None of the others have managed to create their own coven. Sure they have other covens and other supernaturals who pay their homage. Some worship them, leave gifts at their temples, devote their life to them much like Sasha did, and some will sacrifice whatever is required of them. Still, Death is the only one to create his own coven and the only one to have children for a long time. There are other demigods like me, but they keep to themselves. Honestly, demigods don't like interfering with the human realm’s issues. They don't care for humans as they are just servants to them. As for supernaturals, well, demigods think they are above them. Honestly, we are. There is a pecking order to our world that no one truly likes to acknowledge. The highest members are the Five. The next rank would be demigods, th

Arriving back at home, Ari is sound asleep. Deciding it’s best not to wake her and let her rest, I head to see Blaine. I know he’s in his office. Zara is busy ensuring our apartment is done before the baby gets here. Cade and Blair are trying to help out in the field for a bit since Ari, and I aren’t able to do any missions at the moment. I think Zara is secretly hoping Blair comes back pregnant like Ari did.I still can’t believe we forgot about protection. I can’t even blame Ari even if I wanted to. She was a virgin lost in the experience of discovering her sexual desires. However, I am the one who should have thought ahead more. I let my desires cloud my thoughts. While having a child feels so sudden and almost misplaced in time, I’m thrilled to have a child. It’s hard to picture someone like me as a person who loves the idea of being a father.

After chatting a bit more with Blaine, I feel better. Blaine is a great person to talk to get things off your chest. His solutions to most of my issues were helpful. I know breaking the news to Ari won’t be easy, but I believe she can do this. I know she can. She’s strong, and Blaine's right. With any luck, it will come down to self-defense. It will ease Ari’s guilt if it’s self-defense. I don’t know how she will feel about the situation, but she has time to come to terms with it. She can’t leave this realm till our daughter is born. She has about three months, maybe more, because I know she isn’t going to want to leave our baby right away.Despite what Ari may think about herself, she has excellent maternal instincts and instincts in general. She will be a loving and caring mother. Zara, I’m sure, will give her pointers and advice just like I’m s

Finding out I have to kill Sage has been a hard pill to swallow. I have a few months left of my pregnancy before I have to lore Sage onto sacred ground and kill her to unite lycans and werewolves. Out of all the scenarios I imagined how I would finish this destiny quest, killing Sage wasn’t one of them. While Sage and I are no longer friends, and I hold deep resentment towards her for how she used me, I still don’t want to kill her. Zane suggested I have Sasha take control for the actual killing part. It’s not a bad idea and one that I’m going to go with because it’s the only way I can even attempt to stomach what I have to do.Zara has been distracting me with setting up the nursery for our daughter. Our apartment is ready, so we are just moving in and setting up our home. It’s been nice for Zane and me to set up our home together. It’s allowed us bonding ti

After several hours of picking paint colors for the various rooms of our apartment, it’s dinner time. Zane and I primarily eat in the dining hall with everyone else. It’s our way of staying connected with the members of the coven. So many of them turn to Zane, Cade, and Blaine for advice, guidance, and help with various things. Zara is popular among the coven member’s wives and partners. Zara has recently been including Blair and me in as many things as she can. We will have to help her run the coven side of things that deal with the wives and partners of the members.I never realized Zara's role in the coven as Blaine’s wife and familiar. Zara is very involved with the wives and partners of the members. She has a gathering once a month of all the wives and partners. It’s this massive brunch-like event with delicious food, drinks, and company. It’s been nice gettin

Hard to believe I’m days away from popping. My stomach is stretched far too much, my back aches, the fake contractions have me freaking out, and my feet are like balloons. I’m ready for the Little Nightmare to come out. The nickname Little Nightmare seems to be sticking. It’s slightly fitting as her father is a demigod of death and her mothers is a lycan. These are definitely two things that would give normal people nightmares, and Everly is a combination of those things. We decided to call her Ever as a cute nickname and Little Nightmare as her nickname for when she is driving us crazy.Our apartment is finally ready and just in time too. Zane and I are hosting a little get together with our family tonight to celebrate our new addition to the family. Shortly after Everly is born, we will have to finish our missions.

The sound of a fussy baby wakes me from my deep slumber. The overwhelming groggy feeling of being woken too soon overtakes me as I rub my eyes. I sit up in bed to find Ari standing, rocking Ever back and forth. Ari is so lost in soothing our daughter I don’t think she has even noticed I’m awake. Ari is a natural at being a mother, which doesn’t surprise me, but seems to surprise her. Sometimes Ari is entirely too hard on herself and doesn’t give herself credit for how amazing she is.Everly is a few weeks old and has been keeping us busy. Ari and I do our best to balance getting up so we both can get some sleep, training in, and eat. I never knew a newborn baby could be so demanding at odd hours of the night.

Everyone is gathered in the dining hall of the coven to celebrate Blaine as he is officially retiring today, and Cade is now the official leader of the Coven. Ever is a little over two now and a clever little thing. She’s also adorable, and everyone fawns over her. She absolutely loves the attention. Watching Ever bob and weave around people as she makes her way over to me. She runs into my arms, and I scoop her up. She looks so much like Ari with the same hair and facial features, but she has my dark gray eyes. Ever’s light wavy hair bounces as we make our way over to Ari, who is rubbing her growing belly. Ari and I got smart and started using some magical protection till we were ready for baby number two. Blair is standing next to Ari, also rubbing her baby bump. Cade and Blair took their time starting their family. They procrastinated a lot. I’m not totally sold that they wanted to have kids. The

Just as Sage is getting ready to come at me again, shadows move around me. I whip my head behind me to see Zane and Cade have arrived. Cade is already assisting Blair. Zane comes to my side as his shadows have Sage backing away toward Liam. Liam is now mostly healed, which would typically concern me, but Zane is here. Now the real games can begin. “Sorry, I’m late, Pet. I see you held your own just fine.” Zane states, taking out his war scythe. Zane has the shadows go around Sage and Liam, confusing them. I know how confusing the shadows can be. They overwhelm your senses, and for a werewolf, that’s torture. Zane controls the shadows, so he usually makes them friendly towards me unless it’s training. Right now, the shadows are definitely not being friendly towards Sage and Liam. I know the play

Zane was a force that unexpectedly came into my life, turning it upside down. Zane taking me away was the radical force that woke me up. He saw into my core, into my soul, and woke me from the numb, cold sleep I had put myself in to survive. I didn’t even know that I was without certain things till he came into my life. Zane is the only person to love me in this world. I don’t believe my own parents loved me, making me wonder if I was worthy of love. Then Zane came along and showed me my worth.Today I’m going to prove my worth by completing my destiny quest given to me by the Five. Then I’m going to go home with my soulmate and cuddle our adorable baby girl while surrounded by our family. First time to take a bitch down once and for all. Guess I should tap into my unresolved pain and turn it into a weapon.“You came,&r

Blair and I head to my old pack territory. It’s strange to be heading back there. I honestly thought when I left with Zane. I’d never be back. At first, that saddened me, but as I realized how shitty my life was with my pack, I was glad at the thought of never coming back. It figures Sage would lure me here. The old cemetery is considered haunted by the pack. Over the years, the stories grew crazier and wilder. I could never figure out why people thought it was haunted or cursed. Knowing the truth, the tales make sense. The cemetery's ground is indeed soaked in the blood of lycans and werewolves, the beginning of a curse that created not only one supernatural race but also a hybrid race. No doubt it’s haunted to some degree.Facing Sage for a final time and knowing I have to kill her is emotional. Despite Sage not being my friend, she was still my friend. I shouldn’t care abou

Mags opens the door, her usual cigarette puffing its pungent smell into my face. “My boy, you made it.” She says in her deep scraggly voice. Fate was not kind to her when it came to aging. She pissed him off badly. Generally, you’ve done and gone pissed off Fate if you age poorly. It’s not always the case, but it is a lot of the time. Sometimes he’s a petty asshole, which is why I’ll stay on his good side.“Yeah, you said you had information. I’m here for the information, not you, Mags.” I spit at her as I shove past her.As suspected, Mags has attempted to use a charm amplified by a spell. I can see the engravings of spell markings on the floor. I hear Mags shut the door. Seconds later, she is in front of me. “You were always an ungrateful child.”

After we gather ourselves, we finish off our shower by actually showering. Drying off, we both get dressed. Unfortunately, we can’t go in workout gear. We have to appear normal. I’m dressed in my black jeans and a black v-neck t-shirt paired with my black trench coat and black boots. My war scythe and gun are on my hip. I’ve loaded the gun with Iron bullets. Cade will have his pistol filled with silver bullets.Ari is wearing torn-up gray skinny jeans and a black tank top. Over the tank, she has a loose mesh punk sweater that hangs off her shoulders slightly and her black combat boots. Ari has on her choker. I love that she seldom takes it off and wears it everywhere. My Pet loves to show off that she belongs to me.Zara comes back with Ever, and we spend some time with her. Cade and Blair join us as it gets closer for us to leave.

Sure enough, in three days, we both get our texts bright in the morning as our Little Nightmare is waking from sleeping a solid four hours. I’m not sure why she slept for so long, but I’m not questioning it. We desperately need sleep. I read over the text from Mags.Hey, son. I’m sure your father and the rest of the Five have put you in charge of figuring out who is causing issues with the humans. I have some information that you will be interested in. Come to my cottage around seven tonight.I scrub my hand down my face. As much as I’m looking forward to one final fuck you to Mags and ending her miserable ass existence. I’m not looking forward to having to separate from Ari. I know she can handle her side of things till I get there, but I can’t help it. I love her so damn much I can’t stand the thought o
