'Push, ma'am', the midwife ordered as soon as she saw the contractions showing on her naked stomach. Mildred needed no further prompting as she bore down with all her strength but the child did not slip out like she thought it would. She was panting from both the labour pain and exertion.The contraction came on her again and before the midwife finished her statement, she was already bearing down again. 'Mhhh, Ahhh...' She needed to get the baby out, the pain was killing her.'That's it. Your baby is coming. I just need you to push one more time' said the midwife. 'Ah ahhhh' Mildred screamed as she bore down. 'Take a deep breath, midwife advised and Mildred breathed in deeply. 'Now, push with all your strength. I can see the head of the baby, already', the midwife implored Mildred.Mildred did as she was told and the baby slipped out of her.'Nah, nah', came the cry of a baby and Mildred fell back on the bed, heaving a sign of relief. The baby was out at last and she felt a great r
'Honey', Beta Andrew curled his arm round his wife's shoulders as they sat on the couch. 'why are you so bothered? Aren't you happy that you are pregnant again?' he asked.'I am proud to be having your child, Andrew', she replied, looking at him with uncertainty.'But?''But I'm afraid it's going to be another boy!' she wailed.'So, what if it's another boy?' he asked. 'It will still be a part of you and me. I will love him like I love his brothers and sister!'Amelia was not sure of that but she refused to comment on that. 'We already have two boys, Andrew', she said. 'I would have loved it if this one turned out to be a girl!''We already have two boys and a girl, Amelia's, he said, narrowing his eyes on her. 'Are you counting Alexa out? She's your daughter too and you have treated her as such. She knows no other mother but you!''Yes, yes!' she said, smiling. 'I was thinking in terms of a biological daughter'.Then seeing the surprise look on her husband's face, she said. 'These pas
Alexa staggered into a room, led by her little sister who just got her wolf the previous week when she turned eighteen.'Go and relax on the bed, dear sister', Camellia said gently to her sister. They had been dancing and drinking at the birthday party of the only daughter of Alpha ConnorAs Alexa laid on the bed, still feeling out of sorts, Camellia helped her undress and bringing out a very short and sexy negligee, put it on her.'Why am I feeling this way?' she asked.'You must have eaten something your stomach disagrees with', Camellia said, thinking to herself that she must hurry. 'Don't over think it, just relax and be yourself. Follow your instincts and you'll be good in the morning'.'Where am I? she asked looking about with glazed eyes. 'The allegy must really be strong if you cannot recognize your own room', her sister said. 'Now just relax and enjoy yourself!''Camellia!' she called but her voice was becoming slurred and she felt very strange. She felt very hot. Why di
'Fergus', she said, looking very fierce. Fergus was the Omega she had bribed to spike her sister's drink and plant another drunk Omega in the room Alexa would be led into. 'What have you done!' 'What do you mean, my lady?' Fergus asked. 'You did not plant the drunk Omega in the room I asked you to?' she asked, fuming. 'I did!' he replied, shocked at what the lady was implying and scared of what his fate would be if it turned out he had messed up the job he had been assigned. 'Then how come, he was not in the room where Alexa spent the night? Someone else was!' Camellia shouted. 'Someone else?' Fergus asked, surprised. He had taken care to follow the instructions of the lady. 'Who?' 'That's none of your business', Camellia said, relenting. The fewer people who knew the person Alexa slept with, the better. You can never be too careful. 'Just thank your stars that something good came out of this, otherwise', she said, looking at him angrily. 'Else, I would have made you pay with yo
'Didn't you see that I was speaking to the Alpha Prince?' Amelia asked Alexa, angrily. 'Were you trying to seduce him like you seduced the stranger last night?'So that's why she wanted to see me? Camellia has already told her? Couldn't she have kept it a secret till I summoned enough courage to tell her myself? she thought frantically. 'I'm sorry, mother', she started, looking down in shame. 'First, I didn't know you were speaking to such an important person. I was so anxious not to keep you waiting that I really didn't see any other person but you!''Then you must have been blind!' Amelia snapped.'Possibly', she agreed meekly, wondering why the prince looked familiar. It was almost as though she has known him for a long time. Don't be silly, she told herself. He looks familiar because he is a familiar figure and you do not pay attention to faces, and that's why you can't remember where you have met him, she thought dismissively but the thought persisted.'Secondly, I did not set o
'Alexa, it will be exactly two months since that dreadful night', Camellia said. 'Have you found out anything?''I have not found out anything. I do not know where to look because I don't even know what he looks like!' she replied.'What are you going to do, now?' Camellia asked. But before she could reply, Alexa ran to the bathroom.What the hell was that? Is Alexa...? Camellia thought wildly. This was one of the things she had hoped for when she was plotting about that failed night. Though it had not been a total failure, since the Prince had kept his word and brought them so much money in compensation for the 'damage' he might have caused to Camellia and Amelia had hoarded it, keeping it away even from her husband.But right now, this situation with Alexa was not a welcome one at all. But why jump to conclusions, it might not be what I'm thinking it is.She walked to the bathroom where Alexa has just finished being sick, and was washing her face, rinsing out her mouth in the sick,
'Mum, your friend deceived you. The drug did not work. It was totally useless!' Camellia said to her mother as soon as she entered her room and shut the door. She leanedbà heavily on the shut door and exhaled. It took a lot of effort to act. She most nearly scratched off Alexa's face when she refused an abortion. Her morality was disgusting. And when she hugged her, Camellia had wanted to throw her as far away from her body as possible. The only thing that kept her controlled was the plan she had come up with.Before her mother could say anything though, she continued, stalling any outbursts. 'I bought her a kit just now and the test was positive. We tried about three times and the result was the same!' she said, panting. It was obvious she was furious. Her father had tried to hide it but she had always known that Alexa held a special place in her father's heart. She would have born it, though it had relieved her when her mother showed she preferred her to Alexa and when her brothers
'Push!' the midwife, Camellia hired ordered Alexa, as the doctor held her legs apart.Alexa pushed one last time and the baby slipped out. She felt relief wash over her. She was happy she had decided fed to keep the baby. The journey through this pregnancy had not been very easy, what with the flu, morning sickness and all. Camellia had been there for her all through and though she had been snappy some of the time and disagreeable, Alexa forgave her knowing it could not have been easy on her, leaving all behind to be with her.'It's a boy!' the midwife announced. 'Such a handsome boy. He must look like his father!'Alexa's joy at the safe birth turned to anxiety. A father she did not know and who had never bothered to look for the innocent girl he took advantage of that fateful night. How was she going to bring the child up alone? she thought in hindsight. And when he asked about his father, what was she going to tell him? Anyway, when that time comes, she would know how to solve tha
