Page 168 of Her Cold-Hearted Alpha: Part 2

"Yeah." Dad replied.

We entered to see Dad wiping Mom’s sweaty hair off her face as he kissed her forehead tenderly. The nurse passed Mom the baby, allowing her to slip her under the sheet to rest her against her chest. Before leaving us for a moment.

"It’s a girl." Mom said tiredly, but despite that, she was smiling. Her eyes were shining with unshed tears.

I smiled softly, going over to look at her. Her mop of black hair reminded me of Auntie’s. I looked down at her, my heart warmed as she looked at me with her large doe eyes and those gorgeous long lashes as she yawned.

"She’s absolutely gorgeous." I whispered, stroking her cheek.

"Any names?" Liam asked quietly.

He was hiding his emotions perfectly.

"Azura Rayne." Mom said softly, kissing the baby’s head tenderly.

"It’s pretty and perfect." I said, taking a seat on the edge of the bed.

We fell silent as we all remembered Aunty Indigo. After so many years, she had been blessed with a child, but she didn’t live long enough to see her… I just hoped that she was looking down at us and was proud of her little angel.

"She’s tiny." Liam whispered, taking her tiny hand in his. She curled her fingers around his finger and I smiled.

We would take care of her no matter what.

"How are you feeling, Mom?" I asked as Dad sat next to Mom and wrapped his arms around her.

"Tired but good. It seemed harder this time around." She said, with a small chuckle.

"Yeah, I did not like seeing you like that again…" Dad said, frowning slightly.

"For Indy…" Mom said. "I’m going to treat my little girl like a queen and raise her to be one, just like her elder sister."

I smiled and Dad chuckled.

"I really am surrounded by Alpha females."

"Get used to it." Liam said quietly, with a wry smile.

"So no luck with a mate?" Mom asked, looking at him with a hopeful look.

"No. No luck." Liam said smoothly, making a stab of pain go through me, my heart skipping a beat.

Mom looked disappointed, and I had a feeling she had wanted it to be Raven.

"Well… You’re a male, it's common not to find your mate so soon." She said confidently.

"Oh, and what about Damon and Raven?" Dad asked nonchalantly.

"I don’t know, we ended up coming here." Liam said with a shrug.

My heart was thudding as he gave me a look, his blue eyes piercing into mine. Mom looked between us.

"You don’t know if either found their mate?" She asked, raising a perfect brow.

I shook my head, feeling guilt twisting inside of me. There was a small knock on the door to my relief, and the nurse that had left re-entered.

"Mind if I do a few checks and then you can feed her, Luna?"

Mom nodded and I stood up.
