Free Web NovelChapter 84: Chapter 84 Babies, and Mates
The Third Person’s POV
Down in the cell, Narine tries to close out the horrid sensory spell Morgan has put on her prison. She can hear, sometimes see and sometimes smell, different parts of pack life. It was a never ending torture, and she had about enough of it.
The first few days here, she tried her siren calling song to catch that fool of an ex mate, so he would help her escape. But to her regret, it didn’t work. She heard pack gossip about how distraught their second beta seemed since he and the second gammas mates had fallen into a coma. At least some of her plan was working.
She was not letting them escape her personally designed hell without something in return. That something would put a nice little bow on everything, for now. To get her ex mate to reject that bitch to Jasmin. But she would not stop there. Jax had to reject his precious little princess, and accept her to be his Queen. Yes! Her plan was flawless.
As the days passed, Narine got bored. There was nothing to do down in this hellhole, and no one came to visit anymore. Had she played too hard to get?! She was contemplating how to go about that when a surge of excitement hit the cell. The Queen and the Luna had both gone into labor. Narine looked outside the little window, not liking the blue moon. It could be a terrible omen for her. She listened intently for any signs of news through the grapevines, that was her source of outside life.
Then, as the hours passed, Narine sat back and let out the breath she was holding. It would not have any effect. The Queen and Luna’s children would be as ordinary and boring as their parents. She was sure of it. Narine thought about her plan once again. The enchantment on Adriana and Jasmin had been her back-up plan, should anything in plan A go wrong. As it had. She thought over her requirements for releasing the girls, and what she was going to do when she was Queen. So sure of her victory.
Then something in the air changed. Something powerful had just come into the realm. All the pack, magic or not, could feel it. The excitement grew, and then Narine felt something snap inside of her. Her spell had been broken, and it had released the girls. But how? Who? No one but the true caster of that enchantment could break it. Not unless. But how was that even possible? She looked at the blue full moon again. Cursing the moon goddess. She knew who was responsible for this to happen, but not who, in reality, had done it. She would have her revenge.
In the hospital, down the hall from where Abby and Ellie were giving birth to the new generation, Jonathan and Jeremy were talking. Sitting beside their mate, holding a hand and hoping beyond hope they would wake up. Kaiden walked into the room in the afternoon and told them Abby and Ellie had gone into labor, and it excited them for their Queen and Luna.
They listened a bit to the talk amongst the nurses in the hallway, asking questions when one of them came in to check on their mate. A few hours after Kaiden told them about the labor, a nurse came in, chuckling to herself. She told them both Alphas had broken a hand from their mate, grabbing so hard. Both men cringed a bit, but then laughed. Their female leaders were badass, and they respected them! They had not given up finding a cure for Adriana and Jasmin, but had pressed on even when the due date came closer.
Hours passed. It became dark outside, and the moon rose high in the sky. Both men gasped. It was crystal blue. A phenomenon so rare, only tales were told about it these days.
Jasper walked in. Looking in sadness at his sister. He patted both men on the shoulder and asked them to get something to eat and a bath. He would sit with them both and call a nurse to mind-link them if anything changed. They both reluctantly got up to do as he said.
Everyone had become closer after Adriana, and Jasmin fainted. They had closed ranks and taken care of each other. Taking it in turns to sit with the girls, so Jonathan and Jeremy could get some sleep, food and a bath once in a while.
They weren’t gone longer than twenty minutes, but as they walked down the hallway, Jasper suddenly emerged, a wild look in his eyes. He grabbed a nurse, but let her go as his eyes found Jonathans.
"They are awake." He gasped out before disappearing into the room again.
Both ran into the room, heart beating frantically. Jeremy rushed to Adriana’s side, and she clung to him like her life depended on it. Apologizing again and again. Crying her heart out. Her vitals skyrocketed, and soon there were doctors and nurses all around her.
Jonathan ran to his mate’s side, but she was in the arms of her brother. She wouldn’t even look at him! She kept crying and shaking, but wouldn’t let go of Jasper, who desperately tried to get her to turn into Jonathan so the matebond would calm her down. But she wouldn’t budge.
Jasper gave Jonathan a look of sadness and apology. He shook his head. If he had learned anything from the stories told by Jasper, he would rush nothing. She had been through enough and if she needed her brother to hold her now. He would not be the one to complain or act like a jerk about it.
He sat down on the bed and took her hand. Hoping the sparks and warmth from that would help her. She didn’t yank her hand away, but she still wouldn’t meet his eyes.
"Whatever you’ve been through. Whatever you doubt at the moment, Jasmin. I am not going anywhere. Neither is your brother! You are my mate, and whatever you need from me, speak it and I will obey." Jonathan says in a small hoarse voice. Tears streaming down his own chin. She finally looks at him. freёwebnovel.com
"Please, just reject me and get it over with." She pleads, and his heart breaks. Why would she ask that of him? Jasper seemed to have enough of this and promptly shifts her into his lap. He immediately wraps his arms around her small fragile frame.
"That I cannot comply, I’m afraid. I will not reject you! I, Jonathan Skye, accept you Jasmin Darkmoon, as my mate and equal." He states. Jasmin looks up at him with wide eyes before she breaks down again and cries into him. Holding on for dear life.
