MasukElijahSeeing the baby was like a piece of the puzzle finally falling into place.Nothing was the same, but there, with my mate and our baby, everything was perfect, and I realized that this was the meaning of life itself. It was a clear reminder of why I should fight, why I shouldn’t give up, and why I must gather my strength.“You’ll be an incredible mother, Eloise, I know it,” Emmett said with such pride that I didn’t doubt it.“You’ll be the best mother of all,” I said firmly.I saw the fear in Eloise’s eyes.And it was normal to see it, because I felt fear too.Not because I thought I couldn’t really be a good father, but because I felt anxious about not having the tools to protect and care for my people, especially my baby. I kissed my wife on the forehead again.“I hope all this works out,” Eloise said calmly, but I could hear the tremor in her voice.My mate was supposed to have a peaceful pregnancy, full of peace and calm, but now she was not only surrounded by enemies who w
EloiseI woke up to the sound of a heart rate monitor and the strong smell of bleach and hospital disinfectant. I opened my eyes slowly, and the white light blinded me for a moment, but I knew exactly where I was.I looked around and saw that I was in a private hospital room. To my right, with his head resting on the bed, was my mate, sleeping while holding my hand tightly.That sight touched me, and with my other hand, I gently stroked his hair.Elijah opened his eyes and smiled, then sat up in surprise and peered out the door.“She’s awake!” he shouted excitedly.I was about to say something, but my throat felt so dry and itchy that I started coughing.Elijah immediately came over to me, gently patted me on the back, and then poured me some water. I drank it quickly, soothing my discomfort. Just then, several nurses and doctors came in.“Thank the Goddess, she’s responding, Luna,” said one of the doctors.“What the hell happened?” I asked, confused and frowning.“Don’t you remember?
EloiseElijah screamed and created a dark shield that deflected the power.That made me gasp, and I held my brother even tighter.“Don’t you dare attack my wife, you damn bastard,” my mate snapped angrily as shadows poured out of his body.That struck me deep, as if something in my soul was finally resetting and remembering the core of it all. I took a deep breath and kissed my brother’s forehead, clinging to the fact that he wasn’t dead.I refused to accept anything like that.Emmett isn’t dead, Alondra said with certainty.And I trusted my beast blindly.My she-wolf was sincere and direct; she didn’t beat around the bush, and if she said my brother wasn’t dead, then I believed her without a doubt. I hugged Emmett again and looked at Temra. She was petrified, with an unusual fear, as if she saw something I didn’t, so I took her by the wrist and snapped her out of her thoughts.“Stay with Emmett,” I told her, and she looked at me with wide eyes. “He’s not dead, so just stay with him.
EloiseI smiled before looking up at the sky and thanking the gods.“You’re right, Mom and Dad are watching over us,” I said immediately, my heart swelling with warmth.I wiped away my tears right away and just squeezed Emmett’s hand as we continued on our way. Surprisingly, I realized immediately that Elijah had taken the situation very seriously.As we traveled mile after mile, trucks carrying groups of guardians appeared on the road. They formed a protective barrier that moved forward as we approached the forest. I looked at Elijah with wide eyes, but he didn’t say anything. He just focused on the road, as if his goal were to get through it all as quickly as possible.And that was something that made me anxious, yet I remained as calm as I could.When we finally reached the forest, I felt something different from how I’d felt the last time I’d been there. I felt like the forest was calling me and recognizing me, as if I were part of it, and that made me swallow hard.We got out of
EloiseFear was no good advisor.And it was starting to consume me in such a terrible way that my heart was racing. It was complete and utter madness.However, fear had taught me that it was a feeling that made you react in many ways, and so you were left with only two options: let the terror consume you, or get up and kick its ass. So I chose the wiser option.It was hard to choose, but it was easy at the same time.Common sense was what dictated things, so after my brother’s vision, we tripled security and took the most extraordinary measures we could. Elijah’s paranoia rose to unsuspected levels when he sensed my fear, so I tried to calm him down without success. I was starting to get frustrated, but it was Alondra who calmed me down.You have to let him feel fully useful. Right now, the most valuable thing in his life is under attack, Alondra murmured firmly.“I’m not being attacked, and it’s just a vision,” I snapped quickly.Even though I’d had a lump in my throat ever since Emm
EloiseI arrived at the prison calmly.I greeted everyone, and Gibran came up to me, clearly moved, as if I had given him all the answers to his joy. And perhaps that was the case.“My mother is fine, in good health, on her feet, and ready to keep going,” Gibran said, and we laughed. “She refuses to rest, and I owe it all to you, Eloise. I’ll be grateful and indebted to you for the rest of my life.”I took Gibran’s hand and shook my head.“That’s not necessary; just keep being excellent at what you do,” I said calmly.Gibran hugged me, and everyone laughed.“Life is chaos,” Kaia said with a smile. “If you have any first-time mom doubts, just let me know.”I nodded, grateful for everyone’s support.“I need to schedule the appointment with the OB—”“I already did,” Elijah said, and I was surprised. “The day after tomorrow we’ll find out everything about our baby. The OB-GYN is in a nearby town; when he gets back, he’ll come to the house to give you a thorough checkup.”That surprised me
