Chapter 6 Emergency C-section

(Anna)

The king's refusal to meet or summon me squashed all my hopes. I blamed myself though for keeping high expectations from someone who let innocent people get tortured. I was nothing but an incubator for his child.

"I am sorry, Sara. He has been quite busy lately. I am sure once he gets some time, he will summon you." Eden made excuses for his king but I could understand that he was not going to give me the time of the day.

I decided to find my own way and follow my own destiny. I wasn't going to rely on anyone, anymore.

"It's alright." I felt dejected as I decided not to request to see him anymore.

"Don't worry, you will be handsomely compensated for all your troubles. Whatever you need just let me know and I will ensure that it's provided," he informed me as if it wasn't my child I was supposed to give them but a mere commodity.

Although I knew I would have to give up the child, it didn't hurt any less.

With special permission, I was allowed to take walks in the small garden outside the room I had been allotted. The spring season had returned to the world and air brimmed with sweet fragrances of hundreds of flowers that grew in the garden. Multicoloured butterflies did their mating dance on them.

My tummy had begun to show, I was already three months pregnant and it was almost three and half months since I had washed on this island and my life had exponentially changed.

Gently I rubbed my belly, I had been trying but struggling to keep my emotions in check. As much as I tried to detach myself from this child, I couldn't wrap the idea around my head of letting him or her go.

"I will come back for you, I promise," I whispered, my voice clouding from the outburst of emotions.

***

The next three months were extremely difficult. I constantly vomited although I was given a very balanced diet consisting of all the nutrients, vitamins and minerals needed for the proper growth of the baby.

Due to so many changes in my body and the bloated tummy, it was hard to sleep. Plus I was mostly kept isolated and under heavy security. Every step was monitored and scrutinized.

But my baby kept me company, his kicking and movements always brought a smile to my face, I felt as if he or she was trying to send me a message or cheer me up.

During the final days before the delivery, the baby refused to change the position. My appointed doctor took a detailed ultrasound and informed me.

"We will have to perform a C-section tomorrow, the baby is breech."

My heart sank, more than myself I was worried about my child whose gender hadn't been revealed to me, no matter how many times I asked.

"Will the baby be alright?" I apprehensively asked. My arms protectively went around my tummy.

"Yes, no harm will come to the baby. Just remain calm," she instructed with a professional smile. But my heart wouldn't ease down, a fleeting feeling was settling in my stomach.

***

The next day I changed into a green gown and was wheeled into the operating theatre. Eden and Linda were present by my side. Eden with his gracious smile and Linda with her stern expression. It jagged my heart to see their king hadn't bothered to turn up even at the birth of his child.

What kind of callous man was he?

It stung to think but I had to keep strong for my child.

"Sara, you will be fine. Don't worry." Eden gave me hope before walking out. I nodded at him with a smile.

I was put under anesthesia and lost consciousness, my last thoughts were of my baby and I couldn't wait to hold him or her in my arms.

When I opened my eyes again, there was a low humming of monitors all around me. Other than that it was quiet. I let my heavy eyes adjust to my surroundings and observed I had been shifted to a room from the operation theatre.

Swivelling my head around I tried to look for my child but I could see no one.

"Hey! Anyone," I tried to call out but my voice came out so low, so weak.

The white door opened and Linda walked inside.

"You are awake," she said, as usual, lacking any kind of warmth in her voice. I wondered if the woman was a cyborg.

"Where is my baby?" I asked, trying to sit up but could hardly move or feel my lower half due to the surgery.

A slight hesitation I observed on her face as she spoke.

"The baby was stillborn. I am sorry."

The news fell like a bolt of lightning and my heart almost stopped. I couldn't believe what she was saying. Only yesterday the doctor had said the baby was fine and now she said he or she was stillborn.

"You are lying," I yelled at her in frustration, losing all kinds of control. My body was shaking from grief and frustration. The tears welled up in my eyes. I couldn't even hold my baby and they were telling me he was gone.

"It was a baby boy but he wasn't breathing, we had to bury him as you were still unconscious. King's orders."

My mind reeled. One after the other, calamities were falling on me. My insides clenched, the emotional pain was worse than the physical pain and there was nothing compared to the loss of the child.

I lost track of time after this event, I couldn't eat or speak, all I did was cry and lie on the bed as my body healed but the scars I carried inside my heart would never. Without Sable it was even harder.

Eden came to visit me, his face held traces of remorse and sadness.

"I am really sorry Sara, for what happened. Let me know whatever you need and I promise to provide," he said, sitting on the chair beside my bed. But my heart was in shambles and I didn't desire anything from these people.

Seeing me stay quiet and not answer himself he spoke again.

"Our king, would like to speak to you. Please! Hear him out," he requested and my head spun in his direction in disbelief.

The asshole wished to speak now when my child was gone.

    (Anna)"Hello!" I said in a low voice, not having the strength to even speak.A deep voice, rough at the edges and yet smooth as chocolate answered from the other end."Hello! I am sorry about the baby.""Me too," I answered, trying to hold my tears at bay. This man didn't even bother to come see me after everything I had been put through. The world surely was filled with callous men and they all seemed to have been thrown in my lap."I understand how you must be feeling right now. Eden told me how problematic and difficult your pregnancy was. To compensate for that, I would grant you a wish. You can ask me for anything and I will provide. Money, jewels, property. Whatever." He spoke like a typical man who thought women only desired materialistic things.When in reality women wanted love, protection and loyalty.I didn't correct him though. I was done depending on people and putting up with their crap."I just want to leave this place. Once I am healed enough to travel, can you please

    (Anna)The next day I set out on my mission. The black leather pants and jacket tightly hugged my body. My auburn hair were neatly tied in a ponytail and my hands were in black glovelettes. The nail of my index finger never grew back because of the damage caused to the nail bed. The two others had grown. A constant reminder of how I had been treated in the past but never again.Placing my shuriken knives, ninja stars and two Glock 22 pistols in the hidden places of my costume and black combat boots, I set out.The AH-64 Apache helicopter was a black beast and my favourite among the aircraft. Its sleek body and fitted missiles gave it a unique look. I grazed its metal body with my fingers and did a quick inspection."Standing tall, boy." I patted its side as if it were my pet.Climbing inside the helicopter I strapped up.Turning on the power I did quick pre-start checks and then fired up the engines. It roared to life.Claude had sent me the coordinates, I fed them into my FMS (comput

    (Anna)The men had brought their lifeboat closer to the ship and were now climbing onboard. Once Oliver had been taken to safety, I took cover behind a thick pole and extracted my shuriken knives and ninja stars first and stood erect.I left them so they could live but it seemed like these men were too eager to die. I will give them exactly what they desired for they dared open fire when a child was standing with me. The rage engulfed me as I poked my head and saw two of the burly ones creeping into my direction with their backs low and claws out. Their clothes were drenched.I twirled the knife in my hand and angled it, aiming for the chest of the left one. It sailed through the air and hit him exactly where I had planned. He crumpled to the ground in a heap within a second.His shocked companion glanced here and there and took out his gun, seeing I was doing long range attack."Come out, you bitch and I will show you. How dare you blow up our ship," he growled in an empty threat. Th

    (Anna)We stepped outside to see who had arrived. All my senses were hyper aware and my free hand rested on my hidden gun in case it was the enemy again.Little Ollie was clinging to me like a monkey infant and was shivering.I felt him and his strong aura before I even set my eyes on the man. The force was something I had never experienced as I came face to face with him.Crystal clear blue eyes just like the vast sea behind him stared back at me like angered pits. The contours of his extremely handsome face were rugged and masculine. A sharp nose and pointed chin, just like a supermodel.I gulped and my eyes dipped to his overly muscled torso, his navy blue Ralph Lauren dress shirt was stretched along it, buttoned just to leave the upper two open revealing his corded chest.His sleeves were unbuttoned and rolled up enough to reveal his veiny forearms, his left hand was shoved deep into the pocket of his black slacks which covered his infinitely long and muscular legs.Woah!

    (Anna)The ship dropped me on the port of Crescent Island, that's where the headquarters of The Shadow had been built underground. The name was given because the island was shaped like a crescent moon and legend had it, it bristled with supernatural powers under the full moon.I made my way through the rocky topography of the island and finally arrived at the secret passageway that led inside the headquarters. I was drenched in sweat and my legs ached. Being human was not easy.Punching the codes I stepped inside as the metal door whirred making way for me. Claude must have seen me through the cameras for he came running like an over-excited child and welcomed me with open arms."You are back, how was the mission?" He hugged me while leading me inside the compound and into his lavishly decorated office with modern tech and comfortable leather sofas.He handed me my phone, I left it with him before heading out on this mission.

    (Anna)I took my time, investigating. Secretly heard people's conversations to learn where they stood on Noah and Ruby's tenure as Alpha and Luna.It wasn't difficult to conclude that most of the pack members weren't happy with how both of them were conducting pack business.To this date, the news that I had colluded with a rogue king to kill my father and his comrades was not confirmed because no one had found him.Also, the invitations which should have been extended to all the Alphas of Howler City were never sent out. This task had been given to Noah by my father. That's exactly the reason no one showed up when I came down for my party 6 years ago.It was showtime now as I had learnt that Alpha Lancelot, who was a former alpha of one of our neighbouring packs, Dark Moon Pack was having a birthday banquet. Alpha Lancelot was a close friend of my father's and had a standing in the Werewolf council.Noah and Ruby were attending to represent their packs and so was the mysterious Alpha

    (Anna)I was perplexed and surprised at the same time to see that people who had known me since childhood were unable to recognise me but this kid who had only met me once was able to.Then I remembered how he had told his father my scent was unique to him.This must have been it."Ollie! You are here," I lovingly patted his head and he beamed back at me, still holding my leg and throwing me curious glances. Wondering why I was wearing a wig and lenses.Everyone around was stunned into silence watching the little guy being so affectionate. Someone murmured."Oliver doesn't even let anyone touch him and here he is holding her leg and calling her his wife. She must be close to the king.""Is she with the Alpha King?" Another whispered as all eyes were set on us.Ruby and Noah watched us sheepishly too. When one of the Alphas said, turning to Ruby."You should be ashamed of how you treated the King's guest.""You better apologise to the Alpha King," Alpha Lancelot asked Ruby in a stern v

We shook hands."Likewise An, good night."I left the hotel feeling accomplished. I needed to buy myself an apartment and waited for Claude's message.As soon as he sent me the location of Mr Ludwig's current residence I smiled in satisfaction before going to bed.The next day I contacted a real estate agent so he could show me an apartment near the Vaium Sea. That's where Oliver's residence was. I had saved up ample money from missions to easily afford an apartment."You are a lucky lady, I have exactly the one you are looking for," the real estate agent gleefully said, opening the door of the apartment.It was a two-room fully furnished apartment built in a very modern design. The living room was spacious and it had an open kitchen. The windows of both bedrooms opened towards the sea, providing a picturesque view.The interior was all in pastel shades espec

    After our victory against the demon, a lot of changes took place. Shadow Howl Pack was in desperate need of a new Alpha because either Kyle was dead or hiding somewhere, we had no means to know for sure.Asher appointed a new Alpha and, as the Alpha King, took Shadow Howl Pack under his supervision so they could stabilise. Many of their warriors had died or were injured due to the battle Kyle had forcefully thrust them in.My pack, Shadow Howl and Asher's Pack formed a new alliance, hence strengthening the trust between the three packs. This was the beginning of the new future.The media covered the whole story of how we both saved the werewolf kind from a huge natural calamity. Both me and Asher were invited to a TV interview which we were to attend before returning to Whispering Bay Island for our Marking Ceremony."Are you ready?" Asher asked, pulling up the zipper of my red dress and turning me to face him."Always!" I adjusted his silver tie, he looked dapper in his three-piece e

    (Anna)We were still rejoicing from the battle won when I felt the demon's aura fading. I turned to Asher and he had the same confused look glazing his eyes."Something is happening, we should go check it out," I voiced out, my confusion evident in my words.The Luna stone around my neck began to glow, emitting a pale blue light which let us see the residual energy left behind by the demon."There. Let's go find him and Kyle too." Asher took my hand and we followed the residues of energy scattered along.It led us inside the base which seemed deserted now. There was a time when this place was packed with people going in and out, returning from missions, training, and joking around, and today, it was just empty.It saddened me; this palace had been my home for five years when I had nowhere to go; I found shelter here, companions too. They were either dead or locked up now.The residual energy led us directly towards Kyle's office. We became vigilant. Asher glanced at me and an understa

    (Kyle)I watched the battle unfold through the hidden cameras while sitting on my desk in my office. Anna now had healing powers and Asher's strength was unmatched. He was a beast in the literal sense. The way he tore apart wolves and men was beyond comprehension for he possessed the power of five moonstones within him.And Anna, with that curvaceous milky body of hers, she made me hard just looking at her. How I had restrained myself last time while seeing her naked was beyond me. My eyes were glued on her and once all my plans fell into motion, I would have her as my personal sex slave. She would look beautiful moaning my name, and those plump lips of hers belonged around my cock.I was still fantasising about Anna when the demon returned to my side.His darkness affected me, but I was becoming stronger, and the plan I was concocting was essential for my own survival.He drifted like a wraith and hovered over my expensive desk. His dark beady eyes focused on me."Anna and Asher have

    (Anna)The veil of heaviness the demon had caused over everyone's heart slowly lifted as it melted away into the thin air. I knew it must have returned to Kyle. Ella's lifeless body lay on the ground,Asher let out a frustrated growl, he was still half-transformed. Stepping closer to Asher, I placed my hand on his hairy back and reassured him."We will get him, don't worry.""He is getting stronger, we need to move and find Kyle. This needs to end today," Asher professed as the dawn began to break on the horizon.We began to advance towards the direction of the base, but suddenly, we were surrounded from all sides by the assassins and warriors of Shadow Howl Pack. They came out of the shadows and blocked our way.Their faces contorted into sinister grins, while some were just blank-faced as if they didn't wish to be there. Most of them carried advanced weapons like long silver-nozzled guns which I was sure contained silver bullets. Others carried swords and daggers, a few had already

    (Anna)The next few days were spent in planning and training. The Luna stone had given me the power to heal my wolves. That boosted their morals and I knew it would be easier to claim victory with such a power.Once the training was completed, we decided to head towards Crescent Island with our warriors. Oliver and Ellie were to remain under Eden's supervision. I gathered them into a hug and murmured."Be good, both of you. Listen to your uncle Eden and don't make mischief. Ollie, take care of your sister."Oliver placed a kiss on my cheek with his arms around my neck, he said."I promise Mom, I will take care of Ellie. Please! return soon.""Be careful, Mom. I will miss you." Ellie threw her small arms around me as well and whispered."I will." I kissed them both.They tightly hugged Asher, too, before we left them with Eden.Finally we left and boarded several small boats. We wanted to reach the island without getting detected, hence using Asher's ship was not an option.We went thr

    (Anna)A simple shake of theirheads and bobbing of their Adam's apple was all I got in return. Asher let out a hearty chuckle."That's my mate," he proudly said and meandered over to my side, wrapping his arm around me. I melted into his touch."I proved my worth to all of you. It's time all of you do it, and then I will hand-pick my team. Each one of you will duel with me, the longer you keep standing on your feet, the more chance you have of finding yourself on my team. Let's do this."Asher let me form my rules to choose among his warriors. No one lasted more than two minutes. I selected the ones who did while trying to think out of the box as they tackled me instead of blindly charging towards me like mindless hulks.They say to fight smart, not hard. They say it right. It's all about using your mind and muscles in sync.We picked up our teams and training began. Not only physically but mentally and emotionally as well. The demon could manipulate, it was important to have individ

    (Anna)"It really is," I answered, gently squeezing my daughter's hand.It was cold there, a shiver ran down my spine as the chilly wind swept past us. I hid my free hand in my pocket and was glad that I had chosen warm clothes for the kids."Mom, does dad really live in a castle?" Ellie expectantly asked. She still couldn't believe it."Yes, Ellie. Look." I pointed in the distance where the spiked towers of the castle could be seen.She watched with starry eyes as the looming structure came into view. Her hands were on both sides of her cheeks."Wow! This is such an elegant castle and place, mom," she exclaimed in excitement and I couldn't agree more.I had loved the unique flora and fauna of this place, the last time I was here.Oliver had climbed down from Eden's lap and rushed back to join us."Do you like it, Ellie?" He questioned with a knowing grin."Yes! It looks right out of a fairytale," she answered gleefully. The guards bowed to us as we entered the place.Ellie began to f

The disbelief was so blatantly visible in his eyes."We will soon have a Marking Ceremony, and then I can let you go on condition that you will stay away from us. You have done a lot for me; just let us end on a positive note," I pleaded with him, and he watched me with teary eyes.Asher and the old guardian descended the stairs. He brought the lock. I stepped away as he locked Claude up and gave the keys to the Altar Guardian for safekeeping."Don't worry, I will keep him here as long as you want. Go save the Werewolf kind," Altar Guardian gave us blessings once again as we finally left the place with me throwing one last look at Claude. He sat with his head in his hands.I was exhausted so Asher carried me all the way back to the hotel. I fell asleep in his arms.The next day, we were to head back, and this time, our destination was Whispering Bay Island, the home of Night Riders Pack; Asher's Pack.
