Alpha Blake

Chapter 47 Dear Mommy-2

Time has gone by faster than they thought and gives them no time to prepare for what transition

their bodies are now going under. The full moon is in full view, making the end of their ritual present

itself before they could make their way out of the room.

Each one, starting with Alarick begins their new transformation of power. His veins engorge and

his eyes darkened. Followed by Keiran, Harou, and the girls.

It's an excruciating pain as the blood of three creatures take over their bodies; creating a much

greater force, much more powerful than what they thought would be. Twisting and turning. They hold

for dear life as the pain is almost unbearable for them.

As the minutes' pass, each one embraces their new being as the pain sub comes to a less and

eventually vanishes. Leaving each one feeling more powerful than any creature that has ever existed.

But it's too much for Candace and her little one. The power of the bond is too much for her unborn

child.

She yells, holding her stomach and crouching down in pain again. Elena and Harou run to aid her.

But there is nothing they can really do.

Time and time again, she feels the sharp pains in her womb. She knows it's far too early for the

pup to be born, and she begins to worry. Quickly, Harou lifts her and runs behind Alarick who leads the

way to take her to the infirmary.

The elder ladies try and soothe her as she is placed in the bed. Harou is ordered to wait outdoors

and paces to and fro in the massive hall of Alarick's home. But her cries make him tense and each

second that goes by makes him doubt he'll be able to contain himself from barging in that room.

"Why is this happening? Why did I allow her to partake in this? If I'd known, I-" He narrows his

eyebrows. He runs his fingers through his hair and tears run freely down his cheeks.

Emma holds Keiran tight. She is worried and scared about what may happen to Candace, the

three women have become best of friends and always look out for each other. Only Elena was allowed

to enter with her to assist them, and she thought she knows Elena will try her best to save their friend,

she wishes she could have gone in there as well.

Alarick and Keiran try their best to comfort their friend.

"Harou, everything will be alright. Just be patient and do not lose hope brother. We are here for

you old chap." Alarick places his hand on Harou, squeezing his shoulder and giving him a concerned

look. The word spreads through their land and everyone begins to mourn and worry for their Lycan luna

and her unborn baby.

"Is it bad for me to hope that if given the chance, I'd want my wife to be the one to survive this? Is it

too cruel for me as a father to be,. . . . . to wish for my wife to live, over my unborn child?" He narrows

his eyebrows and sighs through tethers and tears. Members begin to mind link him and the other two to

stay strong.

"No Harou. It's not bad for you to have such a wish. I know how much she means to you. And if

given the opportunity that she makes it out ok, which she will! You can try for another pup later on in

the near future. What is important now, is that you stay calm. She will need to see you at your strongest

point. Your pack needs you to stay strong. We are all here for you brother! "

5 excruciating hours later, Elena exits the infirmary. Her once beautiful gown though it's covered

with an apron around her waist, still managed to get covered in blood.

She looks at Harou and Alarick. Slowly she makes her way and lowers her head.

"Harou, I'm sorry. We could not save your little bundle. We tried, we really did. But it was just too

much for her little body to bear." Her voice breaks, Alarick quickly pulls her, embracing her tightly.

Harou comes close to Elena. A hard knot caught in his throat. Gently, Alarick lets go of her, and

Harou cups her hands gently.

"I was going to have a princess? It was a girl?" He looks into Elena's eyes and kisses her knuckles

gently as the soft words leave his mouth.

Elena can't help but continue to cry seeing the pain evident in his face. "I'm sorry Harou."

Harou gasps, cupping Elena's cheek with a melancholic smile.

"No, my dear. It wasn't your fault. This is what our goddesses have chosen to do. I can not hold

this against you, you tried your best. It just wasn't meant to be."

Harou turns and looks at Keiran and Emma. Keiran holds Emma in a tight embrace and smiles

sympathetically at him. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

He turns back towards Alarick and leans his head low. "If you will excuse me. . . I need to be by my

wife's side." They all nod slowly and he turns on his heel, walking towards the infirmary.

Time stands still, and though their bodies feel the evidence that they have become more powerful

than before; they can't help but feel pained as they have lost an important member of their new pack.

Their bondage binds them together as one, making them care for each other deeply. The two

packs and Keiran's clan feels the pain of their loss. Many of them who had seen Candace's belly grow

over time, begin to cry as news reaches them that the baby is gone.
