Amalthea's POV "Where have you been and why is there blood on your shirt?" I asked as Nic strolled into his room and when he saw me he stopped in his tracks."I didn't think you would be here," he commented as he took off his shirt."Well I wanted to talk to you and when I saw you weren't here I decided to wait." I explained."And you still haven't answered my question," I pointed out and he sighed."The werebears tried to rebel and leave the pack and I had to handle it." He explained tk me and my eyes bulged."Are you alright? Was anyone hurt?" I asked as I rose from the bed and approached him. My eyes traced along his body for any sign of injury but I couldn't tell if the blood on his body was his or a werebear."It isn't my blood," he broke the silence almost as if he could read my thoughts and I sighed."No one was majorly hurt, just a few injuries." He informed me and up close, I could see the stress lines clouding Nic's face."I'll run you a bath," I told him before I headed to
Nicholson's POV "Do you need a partner? I'm sure the punching bag won't mind a respite from your fists," Callum called out to me and I gave him a curt nod as I moved away from the punching bag and we rounded each other before I attacked.I channeled all my anger and frustration at Callum as I delivered attack after attack but Callum expertly blocked them and delivered some attacks of his own, much to my irritation get I had to admit it was much more exhilarating sparring with an opponent than a punching bag."Why do I always find you punching the life out of the poor punching bag whenever you and Thea have an argument?" Call questioned and I grunted as I finally landed a blow to his side and he groaned as he took a few steps back."Less talking, more fighting." I muttered as I approached him and began another round of successive attacks. We kept at it for what felt like hours and my muscles groaned in protest of the continuous exertion and I was surprised Call still had it in him to
Amalthea's POV There she was again, the woman I now somehow knew was my mother. As usual she came down from the moon clad in her soft silk white gown and this time I knew it was a dream."Mum?" I called out to her and she smiled at me as she approached."How have you been?" She inquired as her soft hand caressed my face."For once, I'm not doing so bad." It seemed almost natural to speak to her now and I never hesitated to tell her anything."What's wrong?" I asked when I observed the long, almost sad expression she wore on her face."Your sister, she's getting closer to you." She informed me and my eyes bulged, I never knew I had a sister…"I have a sister?" I asked and she nodded slowly."Lyra is your elder sister, the primordial princess. She fell in love with a Lycan who fooled her and she almost handed the chronos over to him," my mother informed me and my eyes bulged. The story of the lycan and primordial princess was actually about my sister?"In a bid to save what was left of
Amalthea's pov"It's amazing," Nic whispered in wonder and I stared at the monitor in awe as our baby's heartbeat filled the room."This is the head, the arms and the legs." The doctor pointed out to us and she didn't have to because I could clearly make out the tiny features of my baby."Do you want to know the gender?" The doctor asked and Nic and I stared at each other for a moment."No, we want it to be a surprise." He finally said and I grinned widely at him."Alright, I'll give you a moment alone then and in the meantime I'll print out these for you." She told us before she left the room and I stared at Nic who in turn couldn't pull his eyes away from the screen."That's our baby, we made that together." He whispered in disbelief and as he turned to me I noticed the edges of his eyes were reddened almost as if he wanted to cry."Yes we did," I smiled at him as his hand intertwined with mine and he raised it to his lips and placed a soft lingering kiss against mine."Are you cryi
Amalthea's POV "Nic if you let me fall this won't even be funny," I grumbled as I struggled to get my footing."Can you just relax and trust me, I won't let you fall." He assured me as his large arm wrapped around my way from behind and he guided my steps as I was blindfolded and couldn't see anything."Is the blindfold really necessary though?" I questioned."It's a surprise and I don't want you peeking and spoiling it," he retorted and my lips spread into a smile."What type of suprise?" I probed."Now would it still be a surprise if I told you that?" I could hear the amusement in his words and I pouted. Nic knew just how much I loved surprises yet how impatient I always was to unveil them."We are almost there," he whispered into my ear as I heard him pull open a door and guide me in.We stood in the doorway for a few seconds and my hands itched to take off the blindfold but I held still and waited for him to tell me what to do next."Nic," I called out to him when he remained sil
Mikayla's POV "That's enough for today, tomorrow we are going to focus solely on combat." I informed my trainees who stood at attention and as they grumbled I curled a brow at them, effectively silencing them."Dismiss," I announced and they headed out of the pack training grounds. I walked a while after them with sweat trickling down my back but stopped in my tracks when I heard a very familiar chuckle."Nic stop," Thea giggled and I turned my head to see Nic trailing kisses down Thea's neck. The Nic I knew before Thea arrived in our lives would never be so reckless or open with his affections. It was almost as if he was a different man entirely and something about that grated on my nerves.I watched them silently as Nic placed a hand on Thea's abdomen lovingly and I could only guess he had discovered she was pregnant.I had to come up with a plan and fast, if Thea thought I would simply sit back and watch her take back everything I had spent my life working for, she was sorely mist
