DEREK'S POV:-
I was driving the car as fast as I could. Maria, my wife, went into labor while we were on the highway. We were going back to our pack lands from her parents' pack lands. "Derek! Stop the car. I can not take it anymore. You have to do it right now. The baby is coming out. I can feel it." Maria cried in pain. I stepped on the breaks. She was all sweaty and I could feel that she was getting exhausted. I could not afford to lose both my beloved wife and my unborn child. So I decided to do exactly as she wanted me to do. I stopped the car in the middle of the woods and hopped out of the car.
I pulled Maria out of the car and took her towards an old oak tree. It was old but it was standing strong. I set Maria's back with the tree and pulled her panties down. I pulled my tux jacket off of my body and set it on the ground for my baby. "Alright, my Luna. I want you to push. Come on. You can do it." I asked Maria. She nodded her head and started pushing her baby. She dug her claws in the tree and pushed as hard as she could.
"That's alright. You are doing great. I can see the head. Push, we are going to have a baby, my love." I motivated her more. She pushed more. It was not long when she pushed the head of the baby out. I slowly pushed my fingers inside her vagina to support the baby and pulled it out. One shoulder after another, I helped Maria to deliver our baby.
"Just one last push, my love. Our baby is out." I encouraged her. She screamed loudly and pushed as hard as she could. The baby came out and I carefully set the baby on my jacket. I wrapped the jacket around the baby and set him with the tree. I helped Maria once the baby was out.
"Derek! The baby did not cry!" Maria said with tears in her eyes. That was when I realized that our baby was not moving at all. In no time, Maria's wolf healed her. We both went towards our baby who was lying lifeless. Maria started crying crazily. I was also sobbing quietly. I needed to stay strong for my family. I went towards the baby and tried to pump his chest. I tried to blow air in his mouth so he would start breathing. But nothing was working.
Maria fell on the ground and I went towards her. We both hugged each other and cried. Our baby died without even looking at us. The wind started blowing and the oak tree started dancing with the wind. I looked around but to my surprise, only the old oak tree was dancing with the wind. The other trees were standing straight in their places.
Then we saw the oak tree start cracking. A bright light was coming out of the cracks. I tried to grab my son. But the wind actually punched me hard enough that I went flying away from my son. The whole tree fell on my dead son until I was able to stand back up. Suddenly, we heard a soft whimper. As if a baby might have cooed. The thick clouds of the dust faded away and our son started crying. The oak tree was still standing in its place. We went closer towards our baby. To our surprise, he was not in his human form. It was something impossible. He was actually in his wolf form. The wolf had golden fur and golden eyes. I had never seen any wolf this beautiful. In a few minutes, our son shifted back in his human form and started crying. Maria and I hugged our baby boy in happiness.
I took them back towards my car. I helped Maria in the car first then I gave her our baby. I quickly hopped into the car and started driving. "Have you thought of a name for him, honey?" I asked Maria who was feeding the baby through her breast. She smiled and nodded her head.
"I always wanted to name my boy Zeus. The most powerful Alpha who had a hundred packs under his hand. It was about a thousand years ago. I want my baby boy to be just like him." Maria replied happily and I nodded my head with a wide smile on my face. Of course I had heard the stories of the brave Alpha Zeus. There was no name better than Zeus for my son. And I knew he would be a brave Alpha in the future.

THIRD PERSON'S POV:-
It was the night after Dabria was born. It was her first birthday. As the clock ticked to midnight, baby Dabria started crying crazily. Both Evangeline and Hayden were trying hard to calm her down. But nothing was actually working. Evangeline tried to feed her. But Dabria turned her face away. Hayden tried to sing her lullaby while rocking her back and forth in his arms. But baby Dabria kept crying. It felt like the baby was restless. And both Hayden and Evangeline were worried as hell. They tried their best to help the baby. But it started to feel like they could not help her. Evangeline started crying as she was not able to help her daughter.
A light knock on the door made Hayden sigh. He went towards the door and opened it. Maria was standing in front of the door. Maria went straight towards the baby. She pulled Dabria in her arms and tried to help the parents to calm the baby. But the baby was stubborn. It started to feel like Dabria was suddenly afraid of something. Her voice changed because of constant crying for an hour. Dabria was tired too. Her mouth was dry and her throat was sore due to constant crying. Even Maria was feeling helpless in that situation.
Evangeline looked at the door and found Zeus standing with the door frame. "Zeus, did I not tell you to stay with dada. Go back to sleep, honey." Maria said as she looked at her son nervously biting his nails while looking at crying Dabria. He slowly made his way towards the bed and crawled into the bed. Zeus opened his arms for Maria to give Dabria to Zeus. Maria sighed as she knew she could not win from Zeus at all. Not after the way her grandfather and Hayden had spoiled him. She shook her head and released a sigh in defeat.
She gently placed baby Dabria on Zeus' legs. Zeus leaned over and pecked Dabria's forehead. With that, he started rubbing his hands with Dabria's cheeks. His touches were light and gentle. He started singing the same lullaby he always sang for Dabria. Hayden's and Evangeline's jaws dropped on the floor as baby Dabria stopped crying. And then, she finally opened her eyes and looked at Zeus. Zeus wiped her tears with his small palms and pecked her cheek. Maria was quick with the bottle of milk that was set on the bedside table. She grabbed the bottle and handed it to Zeus.
Zeus held the bottle close to her mouth. Dabria did not push it away this time. Zeus fed the baby in his arms. Both Evangeline and Hayden sighed in relief as their daughter was finally at peace. "Maybe Grandpa was right about them. They are each other's comfort. And we can not separate them." Maria whispered looking at the kids. Hayden frowned but he could not help himself. He nodded his head with a small smile on his face. As he finally saw a cute smile on his baby girl's face.
FOUR YEARS LATER:-THIRD PERSON'S POV:-Hayden was pacing back and forth like a maniac. He was very worried about the safety of his daughter. It was almost midnight when he heard about the sudden visit of his brother, Adrian. And he learned that because of the son of one of his loyal guards. Who happened to see Adrian's car in the borders of North Louisiana. As surprised as Hayden could be after hearing that news, he was also worried about Dabria. Since birth, he never let Adrian even look at Dabria. He kept her hidden and safe. Because she was not just born on the day when Eve was murdered brutally. While growing up, Hayden started to realize that Dabria was exactly like Eve.Her face, her eyes, her way of talking. Her caring and kind personality. Her smile, her tears. And with all th
A FEW YEARS LATER:-ZEUS' POV:-I looked at myself in the mirror. Admired the way I look. I was wearing a v-neck gray t-shirt with black skinny jeans. It was the fourteenth birthday of Dabria. "You have to wear a tuxedo. It is her birthday. We need to look amazing. I want her eyes on our butt all day." Zaric spoke in an annoyed tone and I chuckled. I could not help myself. He was always very cautious and possessive about Dabria. Even though he knew her better than me. But still he had to say things that made absolutely no sense when it came to Dabria. I squeezed some gel out of the tube and styled my hair with it."You know well, Zaric. No matter who is standing in front of her, our princess only looks at us. So your stupid conclusions are way too stupid for me. Just calm down. She will love to see whatever I am wearing." I replied to my
ZEUS' POV:-I stepped into the treehouse and looked around. I smiled as I heard her sobbing quietly. I followed her voice and found her lying on her bed. She was almost lying in the fetal position. A smirk appeared on my face as I heard her sobbing. It took me a few moments to understand that I was satisfied with her sobs. It was very unlikely of me. I could never bear to see tears in her eyes. But for the first time, I liked that sound. It was definitely something I was unable to understand. And I was not sure why I felt that way.I took a deep breath and pushed all the thoughts aside. I went towards her and grabbed her ankles. She gasped loudly as I pulled her to lie straight on the bed. Then I hovered over her. Her sobs faded away. She started breathing heavily. Her eyes still had tears in it. But they were no long
DABRIA'S POV:-A FEW YEARS LATER:-I opened my eyes again and looked around. I lazily sat up on my comfy bed. Zar raised his head as soon as he saw me awake. He snuggled up with me and started licking my cheek. I smiled widely. It felt like he was worried about me. I patted his head and kissed his forehead. "I can't remember what happened. Do you know what happened? I just remembered a tall man in a tuxedo. He dragged me away. I can't remember what happened then." I asked Zar in a low tone, hoping he would answer me. I was just a fool. Expecting my pet wolf to tell me what happened to me. Or maybe I was just tired.I heard a light knock on the door of my bedroom. I turned my head towards the door and found dad standing at the door. He had this proud smile on his face. And a hint of concern in his eyes. His eyes
DABRIA'S POV:-I opened my eyes again as I felt Zar licking my cheeks. I stretched my arms above my head and looked at him. I no longer felt that coldness inside my body. I sat up on the bed and looked around. My room was still dark. I crawled out of the bed and peeled my clothes off. "Come on, Zar. We are going to take shower together. I haven't been taking care of you all this long." I spoke to Zar as I walked into the bathroom. Zar followed me excitedly. I just knew that dogs were never that happy to have a shower. But Zar was not a dog. I knew he was a wolf. He was taller than me in height.Zar reached to my shoulders while he was on his four feet. I never knew how tall he would be while on his two feet. Instead of the shower, I filled the tub with warm water. I added my favourite jasmine fragrance and some soup, then stepped into the warm water. Za
DABRIA'S POV:-I walked towards my father and bowed my head in front of him. He stood up and walked towards me. He engulfed me in his arms and I also wrapped my arms around him. I pulled away from him as I heard Zar's overprotective growl. Dad chuckled softly and I kissed Zar's face. "Dad! What is going on? What did I miss? This is Eve's statue, right?" I asked my dad after a minute. I felt like I was in a different territory. Where my father could loudly announce how brave and courageous woman Eve really was. And how he always told that he was proud of her. It was never allowed to even say her name out loud. Keeping her gold statue in the hall of throne was something I had never expected."Let's go somewhere else. Where we both can sit and talk. There is so much more for me to tell you. And I am sure you are impatient too." My dad spoke in a low tone while s
DABRIA'S POV:-After a few minutes, a man stepped into the kitchen. He had this wide smile on his face as he saw me. He walked closer towards me and bowed his head in front of me. "This is Ryan. One of the most powerful vampires I have ever known. Not just that. He was called the eclipse. We all feared him and his loyalty to Adrian. But then, he became loyal to Eve. She saved his life." Dad added after a minute. I was staring at that man. He sure looked so familiar. After a minute, I remembered. I used to have nightmares about him too. I stood up from my chair and walked towards him. I touched his cheek and everything he had been through, flashed in front of my eyes.For a moment, I felt dizzy and was about to fall on my butt, but Zar was already standing behind me. He caught me at the right time. "Are you alright, my Mistress?" Ryan asked me in a worried tone while lookin
DABRIA'S POV:- This place was supposed to be the place where I had the best time of my life. Whenever I used to hear Eve's painful cries, I always ran towards this place. And hid inside my room. I was glad that dad made this tree house for me. But because everything that happened between Zeus and I, I just stopped coming to the treehouse. It was painful for me to remember the time we had spent in this place. I never understood why Zeus changed that much within a few years. I was his princess. I was actually the only woman he had ever laid his eyes on. And yet, he became so barbaric when our time came. He became so barbaric that he crushed all my dreams under his heels. There was not a single day I had not thought about him. I tried not to remember anything about Zeus. Because I just couldn't bear that pain anymore. Every time anyone m
