It went on for a long time and the witch finally opened her eyes. She folded Alexia’s palm and smiled at her.
“And?…” Alexia asked the moment the witch was done. Curiosity filled her eyes.
“He’s the father of your children,” Esmeralda spoke with a smile on her face. The room went silent after Esmeralda said that. A loud bell rang in Alexia’s ear. She was caught off guard. She and Damian were married for a long time in her past life and she never for once got pregnant, she never had a miscarriage and she never had children in her past life, even after so many attempts with Damian. That is why she was not afraid of pregnancy when she had unprotected sex with Richard, it never happens. She couldn’t contain her shock and she walked to the bed to sit down. She sat down.
“Leave my presence.” She raised her voice at the witch and Esmeralda quickly walked away. For the first time, Alexia thought of children since her quest to conquer the pack and have them under her rule. She thought of carrying her own child, caring for it, teaching him or her how to run in the woods, how to hunt in the woods and growing old with the child beside her. She sat on her bed and started crying, so many emotions going through her.
She wasn’t crying because she was going to have children, she was crying because she wasn’t going to have children with the love of her life, the only man she loved in her entire life, Damian. Rather she was going to have children with a man who haunts her dreams. She pulled her hair a little and lay on the bed. She didn’t sleep that night. Memories of Damian’s head rolling on the dungeon floor haunted her dreams.
*** ESMERALDA’S P. O. V ***
She was in her room when an omega girl came to call her. The Alpha female needed her attention and she went with the girl immediately. She knocked when she got to the Alpha female’s door and she heard her soft voice grant her permission from the other side. She unlocked the door and entered. The woman was standing by the window when she came in and she didn’t even turn around.
The Alpha female asked her to look into her future and she did. Taking the woman’s palm in her hand and rubbing it to form a connection, she started the process of chanting the spell. The connection began to form and she imagined Mikel in her head, her imagination of a certain person would lead her spell to the person’s role in the future and she would see the person’s role in the future of the owner of the connection.
The connection took place and the images began to flood in. She saw the Alpha female having coitus with the man. The next image was of the woman’s protruding stomach and the last was of the Alpha female holding a baby in her arms. She broke the connection and folded the woman’s palm.
She told the Alpha female of the result and the woman went pale with shock. She ordered her out and she left quickly.
*** MIKEL’S P. O. V ***
He came to the southern territory in search of her. He had missed seeing her silver eyes and he wanted to look into them again. Even though it was hard at first but he came to terms with the fact that he was in love with her. She took his breath away from the moment he saw her in the woods and now he couldn’t stay too long without seeing her.
Her beautiful dark hair, her silver eyes and her perfectly shaped fine lips were what brought him running back each time. He wanted to be with her and see her beautiful face every morning. It was like a force drawing him to her.
He arrived in the southern territory and she received him warmly. They had dinner with a witch. It was his first time seeing a witch and she wasn’t like the ones in bedtime stories. She was beautiful. But not as beautiful as the woman he was in love with.
He noticed her during dinner and how nervous she was. She replied rudely to his questions too. She hurried out of the dining hall immediately after her plate was empty. He asked the witch. What was that name of hers again? Ah! Emerald. He called her Emerald and she politely told him her name. Esmeralda. Ah, yes. He asked her if there was any problem with the Alpha female but the witch said non that she knows of.
He retired to bed that night and slept off.
________________
The next morning, it was a full house but the Alpha female did not come out of her room. An omega was sent to check up on her but she insisted on being left alone. That confirmed Mikel’s suspicion that something was wrong.
His heart was torn apart by the fact that she was hurting but didn’t want to show it or talk to anyone. He wanted to be in there with her, to hold her and assure her that it will all be fine. But she ordered no one to disturb her and kept gammas watch over her door.
He was relieved when she came out for dinner. She was wearing a very light dress that left nothing to the imagination. Her black hair fell to her back he noticed how long it was. Kyle growled in excitement. Mikel’s ogling eyes followed her to her seat as she sat down. They all ate in silence. Alexia ordered the witch to leave as soon as dinner was over. She wanted to talk to Mikel.
“How about we go for a run?” Her voice was calm and seducing. He couldn’t say no to that.
They walked to the entrance of the woods and transformed. The moonlight on them and their white furs looked beautiful, their eyes glowed in the dark and they leapt into the woods together, running.
