Ji’lahni POV:, “I swear to God doc if you put your hands back up my cookies you better be pulling somebody outta there.” I g*****d uncomfortably. “I apologize Miss Lahni, things are moving pretty normal for a werewolf birth, they can last longer then a normal human birth. We’re all new to this so, I need to check you and the pups continuously to make sure everything remains normal.” The doc said removing his gloves. Yes I know that’s logical and understandable. But if you have ever felt the pains of labor before then you know after a while you start to think irrationally. So give me a break. “You know saying that every time doesn’t make it any better or less painful. Now please help me up so I can at least walk, it’s the only way I can take these contractions.” I said, as the doc came to help me up. Mina, Shawna and Lynn came in as I was standing breathing through another contractuon., “How is everything doc? Are we about to be aunties?” Mina asked excitedly. “Hell no! He is getting closer and closer to getting cut though.” I said and they laughed at the look on docs face. “Calm down doc she is joking.” Lynn said looking at me. “No I’m not.”. I said frowning. “Where is Makahi? Because he better have a damn good reason why the hell he had that b***h in his arms.” I said looking at my cousins. By the look on their faces they were still pissed but, they also look like they knew something that they didn’t want to tell me. Taking a deep breathe. “Just tell me and get it over with. Right after this contraction. MOTHA…” I screamed as I held myself up with the bed as the girls rubbed my back. I swear, these babies move with every contraction., After the contraction ended we went into the lobby and started walking around and stopping everytime a contraction hit but Lynn managed to tell me everything that Montego told her and everything that happened once Makahi and Summer boarded the plane. I couldn’t explain the pain and the weird feeling of betrayal. We were never a couple but his actions said the we had a strong connection and everything that happened in the tunnel made me think we would try being a family, but obviously I was reading it all wrong. I don’t know how it ended with Summer being pregnant and them being practically married when he marked her. “Hey what do you want to do? Because whatever it is you know we got you 100% no matter what even if you want to leave we with you.” Lynn said and the girls nodded., “If what you say about mates is true I would never put you in a position where you have to choose between me and Montego or Shadow. I don’t know what Im going to do. I have two babies who could potentially turn into werewolves at some point so for now I just want to stay calm and get through this damn birth.” I said just as we heard a loud scream, we all jumped patting ourselves for weapons everybody had one accept me. DAMN IT. Luckily it was just Lateri and Atoni, as soon as she reached us she hugged us all in a big hug and Atoni wrapped us all up in his arms as best he could we cried until a contraction interrupted the love fest.. “Guys contraction, contraction God damn s**t! Omg sorry momma Teri and papa toni.” I said breathlessly trying to breathe through the contraction. “Oh hush up no apologies trust me I said a lot worse with Kahi.” She said dismissively. “Yes you did and you broke 3 fingers as well .” Atoni said as Teri elbowed him as they embraced., I love seeing them love up on each other I thought that I would have that before I started having babies but that plan has gone straight to hell. As another contraction hit I hear yelling which I knew came from my family. After the contraction was over, I looked up only to see Lynn, Mina, and Shawna blocking a very defeated Makahi. Montego and Shadow tried to calm them down but they weren’t listening. Damn they moved like cheetahs I didn’t even know they left my side. I grabbed onto Lateri and Atoni for support and they walked me to my cousins. I touched their shoulders and they turned to me, their anger instantly changed to sadness they wanted to protect me from this hurt but they can’t, although I wish I could deal with this situation after I give birth, but I just have to deal with it now., Apparently I don’t get a chance to f*****g relax and take in the fact that my life has turn completely upside down. I stepped up to Makahi he was looking at me with uncertainty. He was held his breathe bracing himself waiting for me to attack him like my cousins. I had to put my hands on my back in order to look up at him and for some reason I still felt our connection. Holding out my hand. “Can you walk me back to my room?” I asked. His eyes grew wide in shock. But he quickly recovered when Montego elbowed him. “Ye..Yes of course.” He said quickly taking my hand and just like the first time, I felt the same electric shock when we touch I know he felt it too because he hissed out a breathe. Focusing again he came to stand beside me and walked me the short distant to my room I could hear the men telling the women who were about to follow us to give us some space. They grumbled but didn’t put up a fight. I don’t know how long this was going to last. So I’m not trying to have this labor any harder or stressful then it has to be so I just said f**k IT LET’S JUST DEAL WITH IT., Makahi POV :, I’m glad I mindlinked Montego and Shadow I know Jilahni’s family has every right to hate me and want to kill me but I’m a werewolf an Alpha wolf at that, so it’s hard to reign Maka in if he feels challenged or disrespected. He nor I would hurt Ji’lahni so having my beta and 1st commander present was a must. Walking in behind my parents I allowed them to enter first then Montego and Shadow, I came up behind them I wasn’t afraid or anything I thought, Maka laughed in my head and called me a lair. I doubt he would even help me if they did attack because he was still pissed about me marking Summer too. “You got that right I would enjoy every second of that beat down I may even help by taking control and keep you still, I can’t believe you would do this to my mate.” Maka growled angrily. He’s very angry at me he always blocks and locks himself away from me whenever I’m with Summer. Summer says that Maka won’t talk to her and I honestly doubt that he would even allow me shift so he can bind with Summer’s wolf.” Because she isn’t my mate I won’t betray my mate like you did.” He growled out. Although he was automatically bonded to Summer’s wolf Sanjay he has managed to keep himself closed off from her when she tries to connect and bond with him, she’s was a nice enough wolf but she wasn’t his mate so he keeps their interactions to a minimum., I could hear my mother scream in happiness when she spotted the girls she didn’t scream like that for me earlier. I could hear my mom asking them 100 questions at once and when Ji’lahni had a contraction using a few choice words my mother like always talked about my birth. Rolling my eyes walking closer to the crowd just as Mina and the other girls spotted me and immediately created a human shield which caused Maka to growl at the thought of not being able to get to her. What’s even more strange is the fact that her scent still affected me. What the hell is going on this has never happened to any mated male wolf. Once you’re marked you don’t find any other female scent attracted it actually repulsed a male wolf if an aroused she wolf was near Him, that’s why we always allow the mated wolves to guard single she wolves in heat., Snapping out of thoughts taking a deep breathe smelling Ji’lahni scent strangly calmed Maka, we could also scent the pups as well. He howls in pride of knowing his pups are almost here and super excited to be the first Alpha wolf to produce a female Alpha wolf. I had to admit I was excited too. Looking at the girls I could see they planned on protecting Jilahni and my pups with their life if need be and I can’t help but respect and be glad that she has them in her life since I don’t know how any of this will end., “So why are you here. Shouldn’t you be with your pregnant wife or mate or whatever you want to call it? I promise Makahi, that b***h better not be behind you, because you will have to kill us tonight, I promise before I allow you or her to stress Jilahni or those babies out and put their lives in danger I will kill you and her.” Shawna said mincingly meaning every word. It’s still shocking to hear this coming from Shawna who was always the quiet one of the bunch. “I would never do anything to hurt her .” I responded. “Are you serious right now? So you’re saying you didn’t know that lahni would be stressed and hurt if you marked the female who literally had us kidnapped by her sick twisted uncle who almost drained us and Lahni while she was carrying your babies, who continued to drain her and was planning to force her to mate with him. Which she would have done just to keep her babies safe away from his sick influence she was willing to die to keep us safe and was going to end her life once she knew her babies was back with you and safe. Because she would rather die then to be mated to anyone but you. But when it came down to a choice between her and Summer you picked that b***h over her without a second thought. So excuse me if I don’t know if you wouldn’t do something like that, because your actions shows where your loyalties lie.” Shawna said with a voice full of hurt and anger at the thought of every thing they went through because of Summer., I felt like I got punched in the heart and gut at hearing that she was willing to end her life to save our pups and not be mated to anyone but me. I was so shocked by her words that it felt like I couldn’t breathe. Had she really been willing to mate with Zane in order to make sure our pups were safely with me. She was planning to kill herself if I hadn’t found her in time. Just the thought of that almost brought me to my knees how could I have been such a fool. I was so deep into my grief that I didn’t see when Jilahni had approached me until her delicious scent brought me back to the present. Looking down at her beautiful tired eyes she still sported the bruise from Zane hitting her, I really want to kill him for what he did to her and I vow I will kill him. “Can you walk me back to my room?” She asked extending her hand out to me. I wanted to pick her up into my arms and never let her go but I know I can’t. “Ye… Yees.” I nodded like a little school boy and grabbed her hand after Montego elbowed me., I instantly felt the electrifying jolt that I felt the first time I touched her. How is any of this possible, with Summer, I felt our bond formed from the moment I marked her. But it wasn’t as strong as when I’m touching Ji’lahni. My heart’s racing and Maka is wanting to take control and mark her even though Summer is wearing our mark. I pushed him back to my subconscious and put up a mental barrier which he fought against. I went to stand beside her and put my arms around her for support and it made Maka calmed down when she leaned into our embrace, he was loving the closeness. The walk back to the room was done quietly. Once we entered, the doc was behind a makeshift desk in the corner. I assume he plans on staying in here as much as possible., “Oh hello Alpha. I didn’t know you were here. I’m glad you’re back Lahni I was just about to come get you so I can check on you and the pups.” The doc said getting up coming towards us about to help Jilahni onto the bed but I quickly lifted her into my arms and placed her on the bed gently, the doc pulled a chair up so I could sit in while he examined her. He pulled a big machine up beside the bed and was reaching for her gown but he quickly stopped looking at me when he heard a small growl. I quickly pushed Maka back and nodded my head to doc and he covered her legs before exposing her round belly. It was surreal looking at the place where my pups grew. Her belly was so round it looked like if you poked it, it would pop. I only got to touch her belly briefly in the tunnels. But that was nothing compared to what I’m seeing now. I felt the jolt of Ji’lahni’s touch and I looked down to see she was holding my hands looking into her eyes she placed my hand on the top part of her belly while the doc squirted some blue gel on the lower part of her stomach., The babies were moving around like crazy and I have never been as happy as I am now that I actually got to be apart of all this. We both turned to the machine doc pulled over when we heard the loud strong heartbeats of our pups the sound filled me with so much emotion that I felt as if my heart would burst and Maka was prancing around in my head like a proud papa wolf he. Looking at the screen I could see both pups one even looks like they’re sucking their finger while the other looks like they are looking at the wand the doc had pressed against her belly the doc must have made them mad because Jilahni screamed as another contraction hit. She was screaming and squeezing my hand which surprisingly hurt a little. The doc removed the wand and wiped the Lubricant off her belly moving away to make notes. Glancing at her exposed belly the babies were moving so much it look like they were trying to come out. The movements had her belly misshapened. Remembering that she said I was able to calm them when we were in the tunnels. Although I haven’t been able to mindlink them after I marked Summer I could try doing it verbally using my aura maybe they will recognize my voice. It was worth a shot because anything is better then watching her suffer., “Hey papa’s here now I need you to behave for momma she’s in pain. I can’t wait to me you my little pups.” I said in a whisper tone rubbing her belly as I gave the smallest push of my aura, hopefully they recognize it was me. I smiled when I heard Jilahni sigh in relief and her face lost the frown of pain.”Thank you.” She whispered. “My pleasure sweetheart. Get some sleep.” I said leaning in to k**s her forehead. “Wow Alpha this is the most relaxed I have ever seen when any she wolf during labor. I think it has something to do with your touch. I want to do and experiment get in next to miss Lahni, I want to see what happens during her next few contraction for now I’ll let her rest as long as possible.” The doc said still looking at her vital sheet. He didn’t have to ask me twice I was easing in next to her on the bed it was the world’s shortest bed and my body was twisted unusually and I was sure that I would need a chiropractor after this. But I would stay in this spot for days if it meant being close and touching Ji’lahni like this. Maka was purring like a damn cat he was so calm and at peace. Ji’lahni turn slightly giving me a little more room looking at me sleepily. “You stayed. Please stay with me.” she sighed snuggling into me I wrapped her into my arms rubbing her belly gently so the pups know I’m still here. “I’m not going anywhere sweetheart. Now get some rest I’ll be here when you wake up. Sighing contently I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep for the first time since Ji’lahni was taken from my mom’s house., I was instantly jolted awake when I felt Ji’lahni groaning, my eyes snapped open to see the Doc looking at the paper that was printing out of the machine. “Is Ji’lahni and the pups OK? I asked. “They’re doing great it seems like your closeness calms the pups and lessening the pain of her contractions. Another thing that doesn’t happen to she wolves during labor. I hate to wake her up but I need to check her progression. You can step outside if you can’t handle me checking her.” the Doc said looking at me nervously. “We’re fine Doc go ahead and check her.” I responded as I caressed her belly looking at her face relaxed again. “You need to wake up babe so the Doc can check on you and the pups.” Ji’lahni g*****d opening her eyes to look directly at me and smiled briefly. The Doc cleared his throat. Groaning Ji’lahni turned so the Doc could check her. “Doc remember what I told you earlier about the next time you dig in my cookie jar.” Ji’lahni said then smiled when she saw the doc’s head shoot up looking at her then me. I smiled., “Should I ask why you said that and what is a cookie jar.” I asked playfully. “No need you have progressed pretty far since the last time. You’re now 7 Centimeters dilated both pups have moved in the correct position so it won’t be long now.” The Doc said taking off his gloves. “Thank God it’s about time I didn’t know how much more of this I could take. Can you give us a minute Doc we need to talk before we get this party started. Ji’lahni asked as she got comfortable again and placing my hands back on her belly and instantly sighed as the babies movement ceased almost instantly. I was slightly shakened by her request because I know what discussion she was talking about. Im afraid of what she might say or what she might do, will she say she’s leaving me. Shaking my head mated or not I can’t let her leave me. It for sure would drive Maka insane. “Hey not just me you know you would too.” Maka grunted. He’s right but I won’t tell him that. “You do know I can hear your thoughts right?” Maka said with a laugh., Search the website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
