LIORA

IT STARTED AS a small stomach ache, but before I knew what was happening, labour contractions shook me to my core. I was alone in the house, and none of my neighbours were available.

I struggled to the door, hoping that I would make it to the main street and meet anybody, but the contractions in my lower belly made me groan and sit back down. I lay down on the floor, waiting for the contractions to pass.

The pain was like nothing I had ever felt. My breath quickened, and I realized that I was going into labour right now.

"Help!" I wheezed weakly and forlornly. No one was going to hear me and come to my aid. I was going to bleed out to death on the floor. "My baby..." I whispered, as a trickle of blood ran down my inner thigh.

I could not tell if I was hallucinating, but my door burst open, and Alpha Cassian was staring down at me. I could not tell the look on his face, but he disappeared again.

"Help..." I called weakly.

Suddenly, I was being hoisted up by strong arms. My legs w

    WHEN CASSIAN WOKE up, his heart was still heavy, and his mind was troubled. The sub had risen and was shining through the small gap in his window. As he opened his curtain, he shielded his eyes with his hand and stared out. The pack was awake already and everyone was going about their daily duties. The aroma of breakfast drifted into his nose and he went to wash up, scrubbing away the sleep from his face.He packed his long hair in a loose ponytail and dressed casually before going downstairs. He expected quite a number of people in the room, because most of the pack preferred to come and have breakfast in the pack house together. It promoted unity and strengthened the pack bond, but this morning, the room was empty, save for the last person he wanted seated at close proximity."Good morning... alpha, " Liora greeted, standing uo carefully with her baby cradled safely in her arms.He grunted and reply and sat down at the head of the table.She stared at him, unsure of what say or do.

    HE COULD FEEL the impatient and slightly judging eyes of Sienna pinned on him as he thought of an answer to her question.“Well, are you?” She urged.Cassian snorted, angry at the question. If it was anyone else, they would have cowered in fear and stopped the questions. But not Sienna; she prodded on, staring at him and expecting a reply.“She was given to me as a slave,” he said slowly. “As a part of the peace treaty with the Blackspire pack..”“And so?” Sienna asked.“Sienna…“ Cassian groaned.“No, I’m serious,” Sienna replied, cutting into what he was saying. “And so? I have known you for a long time, Cassian, so I know you can’t be forced into accepting a gift you didn’t want.”Cassian said nothing.“And you are not a man driven by lust,” Sienna continued. “I am sure you didn’t look at her and see a sex slave.”A smirk curved Cassian’s lips at that. Sienna knew nothing of the response that seeing Liora did to him and his wolf. She released the sexual primal desire in him.Sienna

    CASSIAN PROWLED THE length of his room restlessly. The beast within him could not go to the back, and kept threatening to take control.He could not tell if it was because of the child that was a room underneath his, or if it was because of the mother, Liora.Maybe it was because of both the child and the mother. Their proximity was doing something to Cassian, something he could noy explain. Growling, and unable to take it anymore, he walked out of his room. The pack mansion was silent as almost everyone was asleep save for a few guards and servants in the kitchen on night duty. He walked down the hallway and took the stairs downstairs.He found himself stopping in front of Liora's room. He could even hear her heartbeating softly from inside. Her scent flooded his brain. He closed his eyes, putting his hand on the door handle, but trying to resist the urge to push the door open.He wanted to stroke her skin softly as she slept, and carry the child. "Push it," His wolf growled impati

    LIORAI HAD A SMILE plastered on my face as the woman came downstairs. She looked even more stunning when she got close, and she exuded such a powerful aura that it felt like everyone disappeared as she approached me. I looked around and realized that everyone around had actually faded away, giving me and the beautiful woman space.“You are the new girl, are you not?“ she asked me with a slight accent that made her even more exotic.I nodded, swallowing with some difficulty. Why was I suddenly wary of this woman as she pierced me with her gaze?“And you have a baby,“ the woman said, looking at Jade. “I was wondering what the whole commotion was about down here. I did not know it was a "welcome home from the hospital" party.“She had a smile on her face and was speaking in low tones, but for some reason, I did not feel relaxed with her. My guard was up.“What’s its name?” she asked, peering into the baby carrier.I subconsciously gripped the handle tighter and said in a grim voice. “Hi

    LIORAI WAS DISCHARGED after a few days. Cassian never came to visit me anymore, but when I slept, I could feel his presence. I was not sure if it was real or if my mind was playing tricks on me because whenever I woke up, I always saw that I was alone.My child was medically approved to be healthy even though he was born prematurely.On the morning I was to be discharged, Sienna burst into my room with a bunch of balloons. "Congratulations, Liora!" She grinned. "The doctors said you can come home now."It hurt me that when she said "home," my mind went to the Blackspire pack, and not Cassian's pack. I plastered a smile on my face as I sat up."I expected a little more enthusiasm," Sienna said as she tied the balloon to my bedstand. "Go and wash up, I'll watch baby Jade."I nodded and stood up. Jade carried Jade carefully from his cot and cradled him, making cooing sounds which he seemed to enjoy because his baby laughs filled the air as I went into the bathroom. I took my bath quick

    LIORAWHEN I WOKE up, my first instinct was to reach out for my baby. I sat up abruptly, and my head spun."Relax," a voice said. I turned around sharply and saw Sienna with my baby. She was cradling him gently."The doctors said you will remain at the hospital for a few days to make sure everything is fine.""Should something be wrong?" I asked."Don't get defensive on me," she said. "The baby was born premature." She snorted. "They are humans. They do not understand our biology."I scoffed."Here, carry him," she said, handing Jade to me. "He is beautiful. ""Thank you," I smiled as soon as I was carrying him. He was sleeping peacefully."They said you had already named him," Sienna said, crossing her arms."Jade," I nodded. "It was the first name that came to my mind, and it's my birthstone.""Understandable," Sienna muttered. "But you should have told Cassian that you had a name for the child already.""Why?" I snapped. "He is not the father. I don't have to tell him anything.""
