CYRUS’ POV My head was hurting, and I could feel the familiar process of a vision coming in as I struggled to hold myself upright. But it felt different, as if it was some sort of advanced form of a vision and a mind link combined together. “Stephen,” I called out, unsure if it was really him. “Cyrus, listen to me, I don't have much time. Listen closely, she's somewhere in the forest; close to the border. I don't exactly know where because we moved her two nights ago.”He continued, “She's alive for now but they plan to kill her and Cynthia soon, so you have to hurry.”“Stephen,” I called out as he was sucked out of the dark room, my head spinning as I re-appeared in the sitting room.I shook my head as I looked up at Clyde and Natalia, their faces mirroring worry as they stared at me.“What was that?” They chorused, rushing to my side.“Stephen mind linked me…I think. It was different, and not like how it usually is. I'm not sure.” I nipped at my bottom lip, my eyebrows furrowed i

He stood tall and proud at the altar, looking breathtakingly handsome.

Baelakis POV I lay on the bed, my world painted in monochrome as the sound of raindrops splattered against the zinc roof above us. The steady hum of the heater and my whimpers of agony filled the room. Wave after wave of contractions crashed down upon me, the mind-numbing pain making it difficult for me to differentiate the walls from the ceiling.Cyrus fixated his gaze on the clock, trying not to panic as he withstood my grunts. He held my hand, letting my grip tighten as the pain grew more and more intense. I felt helpless, only being able to hold onto him as my body betrayed me.He wiped my forehead with a cool towel, following the guidance of one of the nurses who was tending to us. I flinched and recoiled at the change of temperature, causing Cyrus to remove the cloth quickly. He looked towards the nurse for help as I writhed beneath him."It h-hurts," I whispered breathlessly, my face scrunching in discomfort as my uterine muscles tightened. My nails dug into the back of Cyrus's
Baelakis POV The following day, after a flurry of well-wishes and a final check-up from the doctor, I was discharged from the hospital, ready to return home with Cyrus and our twins. Though I was eager to introduce our babies to the pack, exhaustion weighed heavily on my limbs as we made our way to the car, the twins snuggled securely in their car seats.Cyrus, ever attentive, helped me settle into the passenger seat before taking the wheel, casting a worried glance in my direction. "Are you alright, love?" he asked, concern etched on his face.I offered him a reassuring smile, despite the weariness that seeped into my voice. "Just tired," I admitted. "But I'm looking forward to bringing the twins home."The drive back to the pack house was filled with quiet conversation, Cyrus and I discussing the adjustments we'd need to make as new parents and the joy that awaited us as we watched our children grow.Upon our arrival, we were greeted by the members of Cyrus's pack, their faces aligh
Baelakis POVIt was a couple of hours after Cyrus had given me the most intense release of my life, and the heady mixture of exhaustion and exhilaration still buzzed through my veins. Despite the languor that held me captive in our bed, the pull to move was irresistible. I slipped from beneath the covers, careful not to disturb Cyrus, who was still wrapped in the deep sleep of contentment.I glanced around the dim room, the soft morning light filtering through the curtains casting a warm glow over our space.The house was quiet, unnervingly so. The air, heavy with the scent of lavender, hung still in the room. I gingerly swung my legs over the side of the bed, feeling the cool floor beneath my feet. Every muscle protested as I stood, but the restlessness had grown too insistent to ignore. I reached for a pair of simple joggers and a T-shirt, pulling them on over my naked body, the fabric cool against my heated skin.The house, with its familiar creaks and murmurs, seemed to beckon
Baelakis POV The night passed in a gentle blur of dreams and soft murmurs. I awoke to the soft light of dawn creeping through the thin curtains of the living room, casting a pale glow across the room. The stillness of the morning was comforting, almost peaceful. Cyrus’ arm was wrapped around me, his warmth a welcome presence as I lay beside him on the floor, our makeshift bed a pile of blankets that we had pulled together the night before. The scent of pine and earth from the nearby forest hung in the air, mingling with the faint warmth of the early morning sun. I blinked, trying to shake off the remnants of sleep, and instinctively turned my head to the side. Cyrus lay next to me, his chest rising and falling in a steady rhythm. His arm was draped protectively over me, even in his sleep.Across the room, my parents were still asleep, tangled in each other’s arms on the couch. I couldn’t help but smile at the sight, their faces softened by sleep, the lines of worry that usually marked
