Chapter Seven

Aiden was on edge. The moment he heard the news about the guards coming to kill his newborn baby, he knew he had to act quickly. He could not let his own father be responsible for the death of his child. Without any second thought, he started to transform into his wolf form, his eyes blazing with anger and determination.

When the guards arrived, they were taken aback by Aiden's sudden transformation. They had never seen their alpha in this form before. The lead guard hesitated for a moment, unsure of what to do next. But then, he remembered his duty and the orders of their alpha.

"We cannot disobey our alpha," the lead guard stated, his voice firm and resolute. "We were ordered to take the child and kill it. We have to carry out our duty."

Aiden snarled, his hackles rising at the thought of anyone laying a hand on his child. "I won't let you touch my baby!" he growled, his teeth bared in a menacing snarl. "I won't let you or my father hurt him. I will protect him with my life."

The guards too turned into their wolf form, but they were no match for Aiden. Aiden, being of Royal blood, had strength and agility that surpassed that of the average werewolf. He moved with a ferocity that the guards could not match.

The fight was fierce and brutal, but Aiden was determined to protect his child. He was fighting with everything he had, and the guards were no match for him. His movements were fluid and graceful, and his wolf form was a sight to behold. He was like a force of nature, unstoppable and untamed.

Finally, Aiden managed to subdue the guards. He stood over them, panting and growling, his eyes blazing with fury. He had proven that he was willing to do whatever it takes to protect his family, even if that meant going against his own father.

With the guards defeated, Aiden turned to his baby and scooped him up in his arms. The baby cooed and gurgled, oblivious to the danger that had just passed. Aiden held him close, feeling a sense of overwhelming love and protectiveness wash over him.

"I'll never let anyone hurt you," Aiden whispered to his child. "I promise, I'll always protect you, no matter what."

Aiden watched as the guard leader slowly stood up, dusting himself off. The man looked at Aiden with a mixture of fear and respect in his eyes.

"You've made a grave mistake, Aiden," he said, his voice quivering slightly. "Your father won't take this lightly. There will be consequences."

Aiden stood firm, his eyes fixed on the guard leader. "I'm not afraid of my father or his consequences," he said, his voice steady. "I won't stand by and watch as you try to harm my family. My love for Freya and our child is stronger than any pack traditions or customs."

The guard leader sighed, looking at Aiden with a sense of understanding. "I know what it's like to love someone who is not of your pack, Aiden. But sometimes, we must put aside our personal feelings for the greater good of our people."

"I understand that, but I can't stand by and watch as innocent lives are taken," Aiden replied, his eyes flashing with determination.

The guard leader nodded slowly. "I see that your mind is made up. Just remember that there may be consequences for your actions, both for you and your family."

"I'll deal with those consequences when the time comes," Aiden said firmly. "But for now, I need to be with Freya and our child."

The guard leader nodded in understanding, and then he and his men left. Aiden stood there for a moment, watching them go, before turning and hurrying back to Freya's side.

As he walked back into the room, Aiden's heart swelled with joy as he saw Freya cradling their newborn child in her arms. He hurried over to her, his eyes filled with tears as he looked down at the tiny, perfect little being that they had created together.

"Look at our baby," Freya said, her voice filled with wonder and joy. "She's beautiful."

Aiden nodded, his eyes fixed on the baby. "She's perfect," he said, his voice filled with emotion. "I'll do whatever it takes to protect her and keep her safe."

Freya smiled, reaching up to touch Aiden's face. "I know you will," she said. "We'll face whatever comes together."

And with those words, Aiden knew that he had made the right choice. He would fight for his family, for his love, and for the future they wanted to create together. No matter what his father or the pack elders might say or do, he would stand strong and protect the ones he loved.
