CHAPTER EIGHTY-FOUR
ASHER’S POV
We all rush into my bedroom and indeed, there lies Freya in a pool of her blood, looking cold and lifeless.
The witch stoops down by her side and holds her hands with her eyes closed, probably trying to see if she can revive her. She starts reciting her incantations and we all just stand there, hoping that something happens.
If Freya is dead, it means the baby is dead too and that is a great loss for me and the entire pack.
“She’s dead and she cannot be bright back to life, but the baby can” The witch finally speaks and we all look at her with expectant eyes.
“And how will that be possible?”
“The baby’s spirit hasn’t crossed to the spirit world yet, I can call it back”
“It’s still an undeveloped foetus, how is it going to survive?” I ask confused.
“Well, if Astrid will agree to receive her soul, it will be transfered into her womb and she will live again”
“You mean, the baby will live again if her soul is put in me?” Astrid asks just to be sure and the witch nods her head.
“Yes. That’s if you want that to happen”
“Of course I do. I want that baby to live. What do I need to do?”
“Just lie by Freya’s body and close your eyes, it’s not going to take long”
“Alright then.”
Without any hesitation, Astrid lays by Freya’s body and the witch puts their hands together before starting up her magic again.
Words cannot begin to describe how grateful I am that Astrid has accepted to do this.
None of my babies are going to die and the woman I love is the one to carry them both.
This is indeed a blessing and I will forever be grateful to the moon goddess for this very awesome redemption.
She is indeed our creator.
***********************************
MONTHS LATER.
The witch succeeded in getting the baby into Astrid’s body and right now, Astrid is carrying both babies in her womb.
Tyr and the rogue soldiers were sentenced to death. I wouldn’t want him to go out there and form a battalion that will cause us trouble in the next decades to come.
All the bad guys have to die for us to be sure that this victory will last long.
Astrid was able to address her people once more and both packs decided to become one, since Astrid and I are mates.
So far, so good, everything has been going on well, except for the fact that both Arya and Rowan have now found their mates anf the last they do is spent time with me.
Those little devils!
For the witch, she suddenly dissapeared and we have never seen her again, but before she left, she made us to understand that sooner or later, the next witch of the century will be shown to me and when that happens, I have to make sure she goes up to the mountains to live in that cottage.
I can never be grateful enough for all the things she did for us.
I still have both my babies growing in Astrid’s womb because of her, despite all the mean things I said to her when things seemed to be tough for me.
I’m going to make sure everyone knows the next witch that will arise.
These witches do alot for us and they deserve more respect that they get.
I’m going to make sure my generation and the generations to come, respect the witches, because without them, we are doomed to fail.
“Asher” Astrid’s soothing voice calls from the door and I look up at her.
She looks ravishing the yellow gown she has on that prints out her baby bump.
She is look like a very delicious potato and I feel like eating her up right now.
Everytime I look at her, I can’t help but smile, because she looks so pretty.
Pregnancy looks perfect on her.
“Yes baby”
“Dinner is served and the others are already waiting for us.”
By the other’s, she means Rowan, Arya and their mates.
I told them all to come have dinner with me in my chambers today, but now that I’ve seen Astrid, I feel like bailing out.
I just want to hold her in my arms and never let go.
“Do we really have to go?” I ask naughtily and she laughs and playfully pushes my head with her index finger.
“Don’t even start”
“I miss you” I say planting kisses all over her face, making her giggle like a baby. “I just want to be with you right now. Food doesn’t really matter to me”
“I’m not going to fall for that. You just have to be down there for like two hours and after that, you have the rest of the night to have me in your arms. Now, wake up. Chop-chop!” She holds my hand and struggles to lift me up and I obdiently rise up with a naughty frown plastered on my face.
I hate it when she bosses me around.
“You’ve been naughty alot lately” she complains and I look at her with my eyes wide open in shock, causing her to smile in guilt because she knows it is the other way round.
I don’t get to sleep at night because off her cravings.
It’s horrible!
“Really now? Are you seriously going to bring up this topic?”
“Nope that was just a random joke” She says as she hastily exits the bedroom.
She knows better than to accuse me of something she is guilty of.
*************************
“And the Alpha finally shows up” Rowan announces as I walk to my seat with Astrid following close behind.
Both Arya and Rowan’s mates rise up on their feet with heads bowed down to greet me.
“Good evening Alpha Asher” They both greet in unison, causing me to cringe.
Erghh!
“Ummm… I … this really feels awkward. I mean, we are all family right now, there’s no need for you to rise up on your feet or bow down your heads everytime I step into the room. That just doesn’t feel right. Please don’t do that next time” I say as I pull out a seat for Astrid to sit down first.
When she does, I take my seat as well and Arya recites a short prayer before we all begin to eat.
“Astrid, I’m sure you had to pull Asher all the way down here” Arya speaks and I give her a pleading look but she ignores me and looks at Astrid who is giggling on her food.
“You have no idea. When I tell him he’s naughty, he keeps arguing the fact” Astrid narrates and I just focus on my meal and them have their moment.
Till now, I still can’t believe we have all finally had our happy ending.
Adolph and his children are dead.
The curse has been uplifted and the werewolf world is back to normal.
Astrid is no longer a slave, but she is now my Luna and we are expecting our first offsprings among which is the future Alpha of this pack.
I’m happy, I’m honestly happy and everyday, I give thanks to the moon goddess for bringing me this far.
I stretch my hand place on Astrid’s hand that’s on the table and gently caress it. She looks at me and flashes me her million dollar smile that causes the butterflies in my stomach to rise.
I can still remember the first day I saw her at that castle, looking so weak and fragile, putting on rags and being assaulted. Those memories are still fresh on my mind.
I remember how restless I was when I went back home that day and I swore to take her away from Adolph.
The Moon goddess made everything easy by making Astrid run straight into my arms. That’s when our trials and tribulations began.
I don’t know how we got to this level, but I’m grateful we have.
“I love you” I whisper as I lean in for a kiss and as our lips collide, we both share a brief kiss, causing an uproar in the diner.
I really don’t care.
I’m finally able to be with my mate and that’s all that matters.
My mate, my lover, my wife, my Luna.
I love you from here to the moon and back and from now on, I will be by your side till the end of time.
I love you Astrid.
THE END.
