I entered the kitchen with Drax close behind me, surprised to see that my mates were still up and waiting for me, concern littering their features. I walked up to Zane who was closest to us, and hugged him tightly, pouring all of my affection through the bond we shared.
"I've sent as many emails as I could, it's just a waiting game now." I announced, burrying my head in Zanes chest.
"Hopefully we'll hear some good news soon." Zane soothes, rubbing my sore back.
Dean steps forward and kisses my head, "surely some of the packs will come to help, we've helped them plenty in the past."
"Perhaps, it depends what Balthazar has promised them. I just hope that what we are offering is better, or they have faith in their own race." Alexander adds, ushering me towards the table as he grabs me a plate of food. "here you need to eat."
"Thank you." I say, turning towards the door where Drax still stI finished my food and headed to bed for an early night, disappointed that I didn't get to see Dean after the argument. I wondered if he had calmed down, or if he was still mad at me. But I didn't understand his anger, all I wanted to do was protect our children, and the pack! Why wouldn't he see that? What could I do to change his mind."an old dog can't learn new tricks." Nyx tells me, her voice cold.I close the bedroom door behind me as I sigh, "I just wish their was something we could do to change his mind, show him we know what we are doing.Nyx growls, furious that he talked to us the way that he did. "he's already made up his mind, he doesn't think we are strong enough, he doubts us, even after everything.""Maybe he's just scared and won't admit it, maybe he does believe in us." I suggest, hope blooming in my heart.I walk towards the bathroom as Nyx goes sil
Zane leaves so that I can get ready to see the doctor, but my mind keeps wondering back to Dean. How could he just leave us without a word? We need him here with us, not angry and walking out in rage, can't he see that he's damaging the bond that we have?I put on a thick winter dress and some flat shoes, tying my hair into a bun on top of my head. I was excited to see the doctor and find out the babies genders but it was all so bitter sweet. I needed Dean with me. I wanted him to be there.no matter how much we argue or disagree with each other, I still love him, and I don't want him to give up on us."Maybe he just went to clear his head, he'll come back. This is his home." Nyx says, trying to give me what comfort that she can."I hope you are right, I hate the way he spoke to us, but that doesn't mean I don't love him."I turn my head towards the door when I hear f
We were all shocked when the doctor left the room, my mates standing there with their mouths agape. We were having a boy and a girl, we had been blessed with two healthy babies that would be arriving at anytime soon, and I couldn’t wait. I was so excited to hold my babies in my arms and love them as much as my parents loved me, maybe more so and I knew that my supportive mates would love them as well, even the ones that weren’t their biological dad.I cried tears of joy as Zane walks towards me, pulling me into his embrace as I readjust my dress. “I can’t believe it! I can’t wait to meet the beautiful little girl and handsome little man.” He chokes on his own voice as he talks, tears forming in his own eyes. “You truly are a blessing Annalise.”I look towards Alexander and Matthew, both of them struggling to hold it all together, their eyes betraying them as they water. “Come
I was lost in my rage by the time alexander and Zane entered the room, everything in the air, smashing against the walls and the floors, my heart broken and swollen with hatred. The windows had exploded out and the shards were all over the floor, the walls cracking under the extent of my power."Annalise, you need to calm down!" Zane shouted over the chaos, hanging back by the door."How dare Balthazar do this?! Take my mate!" I scream, the walls cracking and breaking away."come on love, you are ok, we will work this out." Alexander sooths, holding his hands out in surrender.my feet lifted from the ground, my body suspended in the air as my wolf screamed along with me, hurting from the loss of our mate. It was our job as the Red wolf to protect them. Nyx growled and snarled, furious that Balthazar would do such a thing, she wanted revenge and so did I.I couldn't be
I wake to Drax shaking my shoulders, his voice soft and yet stern. "Annalise you need to wake up ... wake up love."I groan but open my eyes anyway, wondering if it's news about Dean. "What's going on?." I ask, yawning into my hand."Alphas from sixteen packs have arrived with their warriors, they all want to meet you." He explains, helping me to sit up.it was getting harder to move with the size of my pregnant belly, but I knew it wouldn't be long now before I gave birth. I just had to hold on for another week or two and they would be out of me."really?" I ask, rubbing my eyes. "they have answered our call for help?""I believe they have, but they all want to meet you first." He says quickly, helping me to my feet. "Come on get dressed we have to go.""okay, okay. Give me a second." I say as I waddle towards the walk-in wardrobe.
The alphas were sat around the guest dining table, chatting amongst themselves as Drax and I entered, my other mates already there waiting for me to arrive. I was nervous, but I knew I had to be strong, I couldn't show them that I was afraid. I couldn't show them that I had doubts."Thank you all for coming on such short notice." I say, my voice strong anf confident. "As you know we are all under grave danger from the Warlock Balthazar, he aims to take as many of us out as he can and enslave the rest. We can't allow this.""Before we continue, I'd like to ask how you expect to fight with us with the current state you are in? Surely you won't be putting your children at risk." One of the alphas asked, his black eyes and hair slightly unnerving.I look down at my stomach and smile, "I won't be putting the twins in any kind of danger, I have a csection booked for a few days from now, so they'll be born before we launch
I slept quite a lot the next few days while my mates sorted out the finer details for the attack, but I wasn't sure of everything. It all seemed rushed, but I guess we had no choice about that. We could either attack within the next few days or risk being attacked and killed or captured. Something I knew that we couldn't risk.I had my c-section today, and we would finally meet the twins, but something was missing, or should I say someone. I just wish that Dean didn't get captured when he did, I needed him by my side. He was my mate and his presence brought me comfort.I rolled out of bed and showered, it took longer than normal, but I needed to feel clean. It was strange being pregnant, you never quite feel like yourself, and when the babies kick it feels a little surreal.I know a woman's body is meant for this, but it's still so strange, I'm growing people inside of me, two healthy little babies are develo
I woke up slowly, my head throbbing slightly and the light too bright for my eyes. But that's when I heard it, the cries of my children from somewhere in the room. I opened my eyes and tried to sit up, my eyes scanning the room, searching for them.alexander had one of the twins and Drax had the other, gently shushing them as they cried. Both children had my red hair, their eyes a bright green; and they were beautiful."my babies." I sobbed, catching the attention of my mates."Would you like to hold him?" Alexander asked, walking towards me with my son in his arms."yes." I cried, unable to hold my tears of joy.Drax walked forward as I took my son from alex, showing me my little girl. It was perfect. I couldn't believe my eyes. My two beautiful and perfect children were right here."you did well love, they are healthy and strong." Al
