I want to kill him, but at the same time, worry is seeping through me. Why isn’t she getting up?
“We’ve got him,” Ace’s calm voice comes, pulling me away.
“Lock him up in an isolated cell with no one allowed to see him,” I thunder, striding over to where Azura is on the floor, whimpering in pain. Her gown is slipping off her shoulder, but she doesn’t seem to care as she sits there clutching her stomach. “Are you okay?” I ask quietly.
I never should have left her.
I grip her elbows, ready to help her to her feet when she whimpers in pain.
“It hurts… no… no…”
I look down at her, frowning. Did she break a rib?
“Let’s get you checked out,” I whisper, about to lift her when I see blood seeping down her thighs. Where is she hurt? Did I fucking get here too late? She looks up at me, her silver eyes filled with tears.
“My baby can’t die.”
My eyes widen in shock, and I stare into her eyes, my head spinning as her words echo in my mind. Baby…
I look at her clutching her stomach, and suddenly my entire fucking world comes crashing down around me.
She is carrying our child.
Goddess, what have I done?
Refusing to Fail
Leo
“Your baby won’t die. Not on my fucking watch,” I promise her, my mind racing as I try to think of the best course of action.
She is looking at me with her eyes flickering from silver to blue, her heart thundering as she clutches her stomach. Her lips part, but she is unable to put two words together. I know my medical shit… although werewolves can take a hell of a lot more than a human, the trauma of his kick could have damaged the placenta.
“You are going to be okay,” I murmur, lifting her carefully into my arms. Her heart is racing, her entire body shaking, and I have never fucking seen her look so vulnerable.You fucking will be ok.
I need our top gynaecologist ready to check on a patient with blunt force trauma to her abdomen,I said through the link, the urgency in my voice crystal clear. I run from the apartment to the lift.Winona, I need you to go down through my office to my underground quarters. Just go through my office, I’ll open the entrance for you now. Go down via the lift. In the main room, there’s a drawer with the number 78X0on it on the left side. The second compartment in the fridge contains a box of syringes. I need you to bring them to the hospital right now!
Yes, Alpha!
I have never let anyone down there, and I just fucking hope she finds it. I quickly unlock the office passageway from my watch. My heart is thundering as I look at the woman in my arms. She is frozen in shock, her hands shaking as she clutches her stomach, her eyes fixed on her bloody thighs. She can’t lose this baby; something tells me she could lose the world but not this child. It will destroy her.
The lift opens, and I run to the exit.
Dad! Dad, I need you to get Kiara here right now. Her sister needs her.My voice breaks as fear envelops me. I promised her that her baby wouldn’t die… I am fucking going to keep that promise.
Leo, what’s going on? What’s happened to Azura?Dad’s panicked voice comes through the link.
Call Kiara now,I repeat, my voice strained with urgency.She’s going to lose this baby otherwise!
Baby… what… okay, on it!
Winona hurry!
I’m on my way!Her breathless reply comes.
We are ready for the patient. Room 3C, second floor, Alpha.
My heart is fucking thundering in my ears as I run to the hospital. My feet skid on the tiled floor as I enter before running to the stairs, taking her to the room that is ready for her.
