Motherly Instinct Novels & Stories

"But he'll die without it. This week. Maybe next week. And he's just a child." "You don't know him," his mother whispered. "Why would you risk yourself for a stranger's baby?" Eve was quiet for a moment. Genuinely quiet, like she was searching for the answer inside herself. "I don't know," she finally said. "I can't feel compassion properly. Can't feel the maternal pull that would normally make this obvious. But something is telling me this is right. Some instinct underneath the emptiness." She touched Eli's small hand again. "Maybe that's what's left when you strip away emotion. Just instinct. Just the core of what you actually are."

Addy tasted him, the sharp, metallic note of fear. Around her, the world became a fight to keep the corridor open for Joey and the babies. She ripped and spun, the wolf within her a blade, slashing, one step back to buy space as the intruders lunged. She was not a fighter in the old, trained sense; motherhood made each strike a vow. Every throat she had to take out was because a child might be snatched away if she did not.

I asked her because I couldn’t believe it. She gazed into my eyes and saw that mom’s eye glinted. “This is a maternal instinct, son. I discovered you were stressed, particularly since you were in pain,” she informed me. She patted the chair next to her to show that she was sending me there, and I rushed over. She forcefully grasped my hand. “I know that you’re going through a lot today; thus, if you have a problem, don’t be afraid to approach me; I’m willing to listen to you and empathize with you.”

Ryan rested a hand on my shoulder, warm and steady. “She’s tough,” he said quietly. “She gets that from all of you.” As I watched Molly breathe, slow and even now, one truth settled deep in my bones: Motherhood wasn’t ownership. It was vigilance. It was showing up. It was fear and love braided so tightly you couldn’t tell where one ended and the other began. And in that hospital room, under flickering fluorescent lights, we were all her parents in the only way that mattered.

I said back. I got up, stretched my back and winced in pain, she did not hold back one bit, “you’re always hurting my baby” mom said to Aunt Taylor as she came to me, for a second I had forgotten that my mother was a healer, she quickly patched me up, making me sigh in relief, “thanks mom” I said kissing her on the cheek. One thing that makes my mother and I different from every other wolf out there is that we are the last descendants of the moon goddess. Her bloodline gives us extra abilities, my mom can heal and I, well, I catch fire when I'm mad and I have a temper just as hot.

" She was the mother of four children. She understood that feeling very well. Women who had become mothers would feel a natural motherly instinct, even for other people's children. They could never stand seeing the news of unfortunate children falling victim to disasters or schemes. "Yes. I don't know what to think. Yale would never keep that baby. I'm afraid that he would find Krystal, but I'm also afraid that he wouldn't find her." Olivia caressed her face gently. "You're just too kind-hearted."

Rajeev buried his face in her shoulder, tears flowing freely as the weight of years without his mother lifted from him. The bond between a mother and her child is a connection that transcends time and distance. It is an intricate weave of unconditional love, instinctual understanding, and deep emotional resonance. A mother’s heart is uniquely attuned to her child, a lifelong bond that begins even before birth and continues to grow, no matter the circumstances.

One minute she was trying to reason with the man and the next she was kicking his ass. “Momma instincts.” Derek confessed. She looked over at him like he had grown three heads. “You think of Alaska as your baby, and like a mother when she was hurt you became protective. It’s how all women are, they protect their young. Men protect their family. That’s why they say never bother a child or bear the brunt of an angry mother. Annoy the wife and receive a blow from the husband.”

That was what mattered. Scarlett stirred, her tiny fingers flexing, brushing Jo’s skin. Jo adjusted her grip automatically, drawing the baby closer, protective without even meaning to be. She felt it then, that quiet, undeniable pull, the same instinct that had woken her in the night when Riley was still in her belly, the same force that had driven her to survive when survival felt impossible. Every child deserved a mother.

The only makeup I added was a little mascara and a clear gloss. These meetings were always tougher for women, and we had to work extra hard just for our opinions to be heard. Many of the alphas attending were older and stuck in their ancient ways, believing women shouldn’t hold the alpha title. They didn't think we were capable of making hard decisions and that we were too soft and caring because of our motherly instincts.
