"Again!" Callum shouted, but it was useless. His heart didn’t beat again.
"He’s gone." Darien whispered, stepping back.
No… No!
I gasped as I clutched my stomach, staggering to my feet. No… He can’t go, he can’t leave me.
"He can’t." I whispered to no one in specific, my aura flaring up as I grabbed onto my king’s hand. "Alejandro no! Wake up!"
Ignoring the pain that tore through me, I put everything into my healing. Tears streamed down my face as my wolf whimpered in pain.
You cannot leave me!
"Luna… Stop… You’re going to wear yourself out!" Callum pleaded.
But no one was able to get close to me. My burning aura filled the room and everyone was pushed away.
"You promised to be here!" I cried out.
I had hope! Hope he’d wake up someday but how could he do this!
"Wake up!" I screamed, "Damn it! Heal!"
My body tensed, another round of contractions rushed through me.
"She’s in labour!" Serena cried.
I felt a gush and knew my waters had broken as well, but I couldn’t focus on anything but him. How could it be the day his son was to come into this world he would leave? My vision darkened and I realised I had exhausted everything I had. I didn’t realise when Darien lifted me up, I only felt Alejandro’s hand slip from my grasp.
No… I can’t leave him…
I turned my head, my gaze taking in the man that lay on the bed. A king… My king.
I need you…
-----
I opened my eyes gasping as I jolted upright, a dull pain in my lower stomach.
"Alejandro!"
"Luna..." Callum said, his eyes shadowed. "We’re sorry, but there was nothing we could do."
It was dark outside. How long was I out?! I closed my eyes, tears streamed down my cheeks as I sobbed in agony. Please don’t say that.
"We tried for thirty minutes, but there was nothing we could do." He whispered.
"I left him... this is because I left him." I sobbed, clutching my chest.
It hurt, yet it also felt empty, like most of me was gone… and it had. Alejandro…
I grasped my belly when I suddenly realised, I no longer had a large bump.
"My baby!"
"He’s a healthy boy..." Callum said smiling gently. "Relax my queen, we had to do a C-section."
"Where is he?!" I asked, panicked.
