ERIKA'S POVThree months had passed after the battle with Aldres. The petition had been filed against the Congress and presented before every region of the supernatural world. Thus, the Congress became careful with their actions.The barrier had remained on since that day I set it up. It constantly drained my energy, but I barely got engaged in activities, so I didn't worry about it.Killian brought my food to the bed. He'd take me to the bathroom whenever I needed to use it. Whether I wanted to bathe or poop, he'd assist me.The doctor visited more frequently than usual. All the pregnant women were almost due. We had less than two weeks to give birth. But some of us had gone into labour already. More doctors were brought from But for the past three weeks, there had been news of constant killing and kidnapping in the supernatural world. Due to that, and added to the fact that my pregnancy was almost due, Killian stayed back in the pack more often than usual. He postponed every meetin
KILLIAN'S POVThe Sloane before my eyes was nothing like the Sloane I knew. Even my wolf, Alek, could sense it."This is a bad idea, Killian," my wolf growled.But that wasn't the point where I'd care about it being a bad idea or not. I'd sworn on my life that not a single pregnant lady would get harmed. It didn't matter if the rest of us would die."I'd advise you shift immediately because you won't be able to scratch me with your human form," Sloane said to me.I smirked nervously."Don't get cocky! Sloane!" I yelled, rushing at him in my human form.I leapt into the air and came at him with a heavy punch. But the moment I swung my punch, Sloane had vanished from where he stood.My eyes widened in shock."Killian, behind you!" Ciro shouted.I turned around in midair and Sloane was coming at me. Quickly, I ducked left and barely managed to dodge his punch. But he grazed my cheek before I could completely dodge."Focus on your battle, Ciro!" I roared at him, "I'll send this bastard ba
ERIKA'S POV"This is the last baby, Luna Erika! Push!""Push!" "Push!"I swallowed hard and bit back tears as the nurses encouraged me to push out my last baby. I could feel my whole body getting numb already.Childbirth was really painful. I was still hurting from the expansion of my uterus during the first push. But there was still one more to go.However, the majority of my pain came from the things I sensed happening outside."Concentrate on pushing!" The doctor tapped me when he noticed my senses were detecting things happening outside.Soon, the head of the last baby had come out and the doctor was gently pulling him out."Yes! Almost there!" He shouted, "Keep going! Keep going!"A loud cry left my mouth and I squeezed every last ounce of strength in me and pushed out my last baby."Yay!" The doctor cried.The whole hospital became a parade of joy amidst the battle going on. I fell back on the pillow and listlessly watched everyone as they cheered and danced. I thought I'd hav
Erika’s POV “I shouldn’t be here” I mumbled looking at the clear patch of land amidst all the green plants. After an exhausting day of doing all the chores that were assigned to me, I was exhausted and desperate for rest. Yet, I knew I didn’t dare to. I was lost in thought and didn’t hear footsteps until Keyla and her gang of three were in front of me. Although I don’t show it, dissatisfaction crawls through me. This was my sacred place. The one place I felt at home and now they knew it. “You filthy bitch!” Keyla shrieked as she landed a slap across my face. My eyes open in horror while I try to process how I had offended her in recent times. I was very particular about staying away from trouble. I should retaliate but everyone knew who her father was in the clan. I would be dead before I could even say my name if I tried to defend myself. “What exactly happened and don’t you dare lie about whatever it was you had seen” she yelled in her hoarse voice making me flinch slightly. “I
Killian’s POV “Alpha,” Joe said as he bowed his head respectfully. Even as the head of warriors, he had never for once shown a slight disrespect for me. “Kale informed me that you planned for us to attack earlier than planned, is there any reason for that?” I ask releasing a bit of my Alpha power to be sure he wouldn’t tell a lie. “Sebastian went away for a while, by my estimate, he would be back by tonight or tomorrow, if we attack now, we would be taking them at their most unguarded point, meaning that we can take a win without losing one man,” Joe said. His words made a lot of sense, winning battles that made me not lose any man was the dream. “Any clue on where he had gone?” I had to be certain we weren’t walking into a trap. “Intel said he headed towards the north, my best guess goes to him visiting a witch clan.” Joe replied, pursing his lips. I frowned, that wasn’t good news. The witches were sly and tricky. I would never entrust my men’s lives around any of them. “Make
Erika’s POV I huddled back in fear as a black rat hopped in my direction. In this dark, cold cell, this rat was one of my biggest problems. The rustling of my chains as I tried to move slightly made the rat take a detour as it scurried down a hole in the cell and I wished more than anything that I could leave here through that hole. For two days or more, the pack had been attacked and I, and Anita that didn’t have any ability to fight had stayed hidden on the outskirts of the pack. I had hoped we stayed hidden, at least, I would be free finally. Unfortunately, the attackers had come with so many men and resources that not even an inch of grass had been left untouched. With how ruthless they had been, I didn’t doubt that Anita and I were in even more trouble. I felt like I had taken a trip through time like some transmigration story. I had lost track of time but I was certain that I had spent more than a day in this new dungeon. Hours spent tied up and sitting on this cold bare
Killian’s POV “What of the women and children?” I asked Joe, playing the role of a concerned alpha when really, all I wanted to ask about were the young girls. Alek had been stirring and uncomfortable from the moment I had smelt that soul-stirring lavender and a mix of pinewood smell. It had felt so comfortable and at home at that very moment, yet, I didn’t want my mate to meet in the middle of a takeover of her hometown. I didn’t want her to hold any grudge against me because I have waited more than ten years for her. Even if I could, I wasn’t sure Alek could handle rejection from her. “They seemed to have even more young girls and children than the adult males, maybe that’s part of why Sebastian’s turnover has been lower.” Joe said with a thoughtful expression before he realized that wasn’t the question I had asked him. “They have been taken to the decamping house. Orders have been passed down to prepare them for the mate selection tonight. For the ones that haven’t been mark
Erika’s POV I stiffened as the huge man that had just addressed all of us pointed me out from the crowd of girls. I had thought that I could hide in the middle there and make myself so invisible. Some of the girls around me pushed me out and I walked slowly to the stage with my head bent hoping one of them would not raise the kind of questioning I had gotten in my room earlier today. I wouldn’t have imagined that I would be fighting for my life so desperately amidst a pack of wolves. “Follow me.” He commanded the moment I walked up to where he was. I nodded gently and followed after him, the difference in our height putting a distance between us as each of his strides was about four of mine. “Hurry up, you don’t want to keep the Alpha waiting.” He said with a tinge of impatience in his tone making me start to jog after him. After some minutes, we stopped in front of a mansion, even the richest man in my town didn’t have a house this huge. The front gates were adorned with golden
