Free Web NovelChapter 58: Chapter 58 Playing Catch up
Abby’s POV
Everything went on in a blur after Matt passed out. A doctor and another nurse rushed in the room to make sure their Alpha and King were alright, summoned by a mind-link. He had hit his head, but nothing major.
I laughed so hard, I almost fell off the bed at his embarrassed face when he realized what had happened. He kept apologising for making them worry and stood up. He was a little uneasy at first from the hit to the head, but he quickly got his barrings and went to the bed, and kissed the side of my head to hide his burning cheeks.
The nurse who scanned me also had a grand time, and I gave her permission to tell everyone at the infirmary of what had happened, much to her amusement and Mattt’s chagrin. Her eyes kept dancing in suppressed laughter. I told her it was okay to laugh out loud, seeing as that was what I had been doing the last 20 minutes, but she promptly shook her head, and declared that she would not embarrass her King further by laughing openly. She then complemented my way of handling the situation, to which I explained I could feel he was alright through our bond. Overwhelmed, sure, but alright.
Afterwards, we gathered all our loved ones in the conference room to tell them the good news. They were all over the moon with happiness for us, and even more when we told them it would be twins arriving. Matt, Kaiden and Brandon all give each other a bro hug. Jason and Matt high five and all the girls gather around me. On the screen, Daemon, Benjamin, and the girls are all cheering and congratulating. I smiled at them gratefully.
I would never leave out my extended family, especially with Isadora and Sami being essentially my soul sister.
The trouble, however, began the moment I told them we were having fraternal twins.
Matt’s father looks at us seriously, narrowing his eyes.
"Abby, dear. Did you say they would be fraternal?" He asks me, rubbing his ears as if he had heard me wrong. I nodded. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
"Yes, Greyson. I said that. Why? What’s the matter?" I asked, Matt holding me close, feeling my nervousness. He also looks at his father with intense attention.
"Geyson, it doesn’t have to be them. The rumors say that it’s the twins of the vampire royalty?" Ornata says, unsure.
"Hm.. Well, we will have to make sure, now, don’t we?" He asks his wife, without explaining further. What are they on about?
"Mom, dad. Would either of you please enlighten the rest of us about what you are ranting about?" Matt asks in annoyance. He doesn’t like to be left out, especially with it regarding me or our future children.
Greyson shakes his head as if to clear it.
"We need to speak to an elder, or better yet, a goddess. But I don’t suppose you know how to get a hold of one of them?" I laugh and take a deep breath. Well, here went nothing.
"Selene, I know you have a habit of eavesdropping on us. Show yourself, dammit!" I say in a no nonsense tone. Everyone but Matt looks at me like I’m crazy until a bright silver light fills the room.
"I am not used to be summoned like that, child. But I will answer this time only." A stern female voice rings out. Everyone around us bows down to the goddess, the Mother of all werewolves.
"Rise, all of you! What is it you absolutely need to ask me about, and can’t it wait until another time or your elders can’t answer?" She asks in a milder tone, but still with an edge of ’hmpf’ to it.
I give her my sweetest smile.
"Greyson wants to know something, and he felt that going directly to the source of the knowledge was best in this case." I answer, sweet as sugar. Just to annoy her further.
Greyson bows down again.
"Great mother. My daughter-in-law has told us she is expecting fraternal twins. I know it is too early to tell the gender, or she would have. But I was wondering. Could these twins be the ’Destiny Children’? I know they are rumored."
I interrupt him.
"Actually, Galaxy just told me we are having one of each. How she knows, or why, I don’t know. Sorry to ruin a gender reveal to everybody." I add the last part as an afterthought.
Selene looks at me like she has seen a ghost.
"Abby, let me speak to Galaxy." She implores me. My eyes shine, the swirling gets more imenient.
"Mother." Galaxy greets with a head bow. She is the Queen here, twice over, and will not bow to anyone. Not even her maker.
"Galaxy. Is what Abigail said true? Are you carrying a boy and a girl whiten your womb?" Galaxy nods.
"She would never lie, Mother. But I understand why you are asking. We are carrying the Destiny Children. The seer had it wrong. The vampire Queen is not from two worlds. Even if she grew up to think she was human, two highborn vampires conceived and bore her. Abby, however, is conceived and born between the witch and werewolf world. She is a natural born hybrid. Ruler of two fractions by birthright." Selene pales more and more for every word Galaxy speaks. I get control back, and look at our goddess.
"Excuse me. I will be back." She looks panicked.
"You need all your allies here. People whom you trust explicitly." Then she is gone. I sigh and turn to the screen.
"Looks like you guys need to travel here again. I’m sorry." I say in sadness. They have been here more recently, then they have at home.
Isadora takes the word.
"My Queen." She beings, but stops with a giggle at my look of disdain.
"Abby. Why don’t you just teleport us there to the meeting, and then back home afterwards?" She asks with a sweet smile. That is actually a genius idea.
"Yes! Thank you, Isa. I will teleport you, or have one from the coven to teleport you here and back the same day." I look to Morgan for confirmation on the coven part. She is their Mother now. She smiles and nod.
