This was not supposed to happen . | held Raven tightly as she trembled , struggling t o hold her tears back . ”

Damon ... ” | said softly . He looked at. | had never seen him look more torn . Confusion , want and guilt all

surrounded him .

| knew he wanted to comfort Raven , yet at the st, he felt guilty towards Liam . | had never seen them

ever argue like this . They were like brothers in every way . Seeing Liam this towards Damon completely shook

angryup .

” | don’t know what to do ... ” He whispered . He moved forward , reaching for Raven . ” Liam ...

" She whispered , her head buried i n my shoulder . | saw the hurt flash in Damon's eyes as he backed away .

She didn’t mean it like that ... But before ! could even speak , Damon had run off . | closed my eyes , feeling

confused .

” Luna Kiara . ” | turned to see one of Dad’s warriors approaching. ” What is it ? ” | asked . ” Alpha Scarlett is

in labour .

” My eyes flew open, my heart pounding . | needed to get to Mum instantly ! | looked a t Raven , who wiped her

tears and pulled away . ” 1 ” You should go ... ” Raven , what about- ” ” I'm ok . Do you think I'm going to cry

over smen ?

| just had something in my eye ... ” She tried lamely to make an excuse . ” I'll cto check on you later ...

He didn’t reject you . Things will be ok . ” | said firmly . | believe they would too ... Why couldn't they see how

lucky they were to have a mate who was by their side ? Life is too short to let the moments pass you by .

She nodded , givinga smile . | turned and ran towards the hospital .

" Careful Luna ! ” The warrior said . | didn’t reply , in too much of a hurry to get to Mom . We weren't sure how

things would go , considering how the baby had been transferred .

The pregnancy had also been very draining on Mom despite her quick healing . Two hours later , Liam and | were

both pacing the hall . He had returned , but could feel his emotions rolling off of him .

| had been by Mom's side until my own little one was getting agitated and Dad toldto go take a break . But |

was not able to as | paced the otherwise empty halls . 11 ” Liam ... ” Don’t Kiara ... ” He said , his voice strained .

” Liam ... Don’t hurt her-

” " Look , I've not asked for anything in life ... but the one thing | prayed for ... | ... ” He sat down , resting his

head in his hands . ” Do you know how lucky you are that your mate is here , alive and able to hold you in her

arms ?

” | whispered . My heart was aching as | thought of my beloved . We spoke quietly , making sure no one could

hear us . ” You don’t get it ? Tell, Kia , could you share Alejandro ? ” He asked , lookingdead in the eyes .

My stomach twisted at the very thought o f someone else touching my mate .

” Can you imagine Alejandro loving another woman as much as he loves you ? ” The thought tugged at my heart

and | realised | was in no position to speak , when | myself couldn’t even bear to be in Liam's position .

” Exactly my point ... ” He whispered . | sat next to him , placing my head on his shoulder .

I wished I could help him , help Raven , help Damon ... But this was something they would have to figure out on

their own . ” Just ... don’t run from it all . The three of you need to figure this out ...

| know that in the rare cases of being blessed with more than one mate , it is usually brothers who are given two

mates ... But for Selene to bless you and Damon with the smeans that she too sees you both as ” brothers .

| believe you can make this work . 11 He didn’t respond . We simply sat there , side by side , until the sound of a

baby crying reached our ears . We both stood u p, my heart hammering as we rushed to the door . ” Can we

cin ?

” Liam asked . ” 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 . | smiled softly , going over to look at her . Her mop of black hair remindedof

Auntie’s .

| looked down at her , my heart warmed as she looked atwith her large doe eyes and those gorgeous long

lashes as she yawned . ” She’s absolutely gorgeous . ” | 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 . ” | 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 ...

| 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 | smiled . We would take care of her no

matter what .

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

” Tired but good . It seemed harder this taround . ” She said , with a small chuckle .

" Yeah, |, 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 . ” | smiled and Dad

chuckled .

” | 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, my heart skipping a beat . Mom looked

disappointed , and | 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 . ” | don’t know , we ended up coming here

” Liam said with a shrug . My heart was thudding as he gavea 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 .

| shook my head , feeling guilt twisting inside of. There was a small knock on the door to my relief , and the

nurse that had left re - entered . ” Mind if | do a few checks and then you can feed her, Luna ? ” Mom nodded

and | stood up . ” We'll head out .

"I said , placing my hand on Moms and letting my healing flow through her . | saw her relax and knew that

despite her fast healing, this birth had taken a lot out of her . ” Thank you, Kia . ” She said gently .

” Anyt, Mom . ” | said , before Liam and | left together . | looked around the hall and pulled Liam aside . ”

Why did you lie ? ” | asked . ” They don’t need to know . ” He said quietly . ” Liam ... What are you planning ?

” "I'm not- ” He stopped talking , pulling m e further back . | was about to speak when | realised why he had

paused .

... Luna . It’s still weird ... ” ” Shush ! If you're heard ! ” Another nurse hissed .

” All I'm saying is , we are going to have a child born of magic in this very pack . A freak- ” Liam stepped out, his

eyes flashing as the nurse who was carrying Azura froze . My own anger was rolling offat her words . The

other woman quickly took the baby from her as both lowered their heads . ” Sorry Alpha ... “

"If anyone talks about my baby sister like that , | swear you will get punished for it . If you don’t spread such

words , no one will think much of it . ” Liam said quietly . ” Y - yes Alpha . ” ” Take her back to Mom now . ” He

commanded .

The woman hurried away and the one who had spoken looked at him in fear . ” Cto Dad's office in the

morning , I'm sure he’ll have the perfect punishment for insulting our little princess . ” He snapped . ” Yes Alpha,

I'm sorry .

" She looked terrified . Liam didn’t reply as he walked off , but not so fast that | couldn't keep up . | was still i n

my gown but | wanted to go to Raven . ” Liam ... what ” ” Please Kia , stop it . I'm just going to pretend none of

this happened .

” "You can’t deny the mate bond . Even Alejandro couldn't . ” | whispered as we stepped out into the cool night .

" He fell in love with you before the mate bond snapped into place , Kia . On top of that , it was a totally different

situation ! ” H e said softly , despite the frustration in his voice . ” Look , you're pregnant , you don’t need any

more stress in your life .

He caressed my cheek , givinga small smile . ” So, that’s your way of saying mind your own business ? ” |

asked , feeling hurt . ” No. All I'm saying is I'm leaving for my Alpha training soon . Alone .

"| froze , Alphas who had found their mates were allowed to take them with them ... The dorms they lived in

regardless of what city they were in, provided for couples too . | understood that his situation was different , but

... he could be gone for almost three years , and something toldhe wouldn't even chfor the

summer holidays ... ” You're running away ,

” Liam . ” Then shall | reject her ? ” He asked so quietly that | just about heard him .. | felt his pain as my own

heart ached at those words . ” No ... ” | said , feeling torn . ” Liam . ” Damon said . Liam sighed deeply , ” Don’t

want to talk to you right now , Damon .

" Alright , take your tman, just don’t shut her out . ” ” Don’t tellwhat to do . Besides , | was just

mentioning this to Kiara , I'm leaving for my Alpha training soon . | want to ask you one favour .

” Liam said , looking at Damon . Both were tall . Liam was taller by two inches and he had a slightly bigger build ,

but both were muscular . ” What is it ? ” Damon asked . ” Don’t mention anything about
