Page 167 of Her Cold-Hearted Alpha: Part 2

"Luna Kiara." I turned to see one of Dad’s warriors approaching me.

"What is it?" I asked.

"Alpha Scarlett is in labour."

My eyes flew open, my heart pounding. I needed to get to Mum instantly! I looked at Raven, who wiped her tears and pulled away.

"You should go…"

"Raven, what about-"

"I’m ok. Do you think I’m going to cry over some men? I just had something in my eye…" She tried lamely to make an excuse.

"I’ll come to check on you later… He didn’t reject you. Things will be ok." I said firmly.

I believe they would too… Why couldn’t they see how lucky they were to have a mate who was by their side? Life is too short to let the moments pass you by.

She nodded, giving me a smile. I turned and ran towards the hospital.

"Careful Luna!" The warrior said.

I didn’t reply, in too much of a hurry to get to Mom. We weren’t sure how things would go, considering how the baby had been transferred. The pregnancy had also been very draining on Mom despite her quick healing.

Two hours later, Liam and I were both pacing the hall. He had returned, but I could feel his emotions rolling off of him. I had been by Mom’s side until my own little one was getting agitated and Dad told me to go take a break. But I was not able to as I paced the otherwise empty halls.

"Liam…"

"Don’t Kiara…" He said, his voice strained.

"Liam… Don’t hurt her-"

"Look, I’ve not asked for anything in life… but the one thing I prayed for… I…" He sat down, resting his head in his hands.

"Do you know how lucky you are that your mate is here, alive and able to hold you in her arms?" I whispered.

My heart was aching as I thought of my beloved. We spoke quietly, making sure no one could hear us.

"You don’t get it? Tell me, Kia, could you share Alejandro?" He asked, looking me dead in the eyes.

My stomach twisted at the very thought of someone else touching my mate.

"Can you imagine Alejandro loving another woman as much as he loves you?"

The thought tugged at my heart and I realised I was in no position to speak, when I myself couldn’t even bear to be in Liam’s position.

"Exactly my point…" He whispered.

I sat next to him, placing my head on his shoulder.

I wished I could help him, help Raven, help Damon... But this was something they would have to figure out on their own.

"Just… don’t run from it all. The three of you need to figure this out… I know that in the rare cases of being blessed with more than one mate, it is usually brothers who are given two mates... But for Selene to bless you and Damon with the same means that she too sees you both as brothers. I believe you can make this work."

He didn’t respond. We simply sat there, side by side, until the sound of a baby crying reached our ears. We both stood up, my heart hammering as we rushed to the door.

"Can we come in?" Liam asked.
