Free Web NovelChapter 85: Chapter 85 Surprise
Abby’s POV
About three days after giving birth, we could take our little ones home to the pack house. The grandparents and all the aunts and uncles had been here to say hello. It had been damn near impossible to make Ornate, Helena and Sally leave again. They were totally smitten with the twins and the twins with them. Maze kept switching between his wolf cub and his human baby side, making it obvious for us all he was getting the hang of shifting.
Amber was, without a doubt, a giant mystery to us. A perfect mix between me and Matt, whereas her brother was the spitting image of his dad. Handsome and cute in a good mix, but with my purple and silver eyes.
But my little girl. Geez. First, she was warmer than the normal baby, which the doctors took all sorts of test for, but came up with; "that’s just her normal. She is special." And second, she keeps making fireballs float over her head. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
Then, when I thought things with my babies could not get any weirder, it took a notch up the scale. Morgan and Brandon came to visit the day after the twins were born. Both me and Ellie were exhausted, and we opted to stay together to help each other. I had just fed Maze, and was burping him when Morgan waddled through the door. She could literally pop any day, and the doctors were monitoring her.
The second she walked through the door, Maze fussed. Like a lot! He tried to turn on my shoulder, and when I took him down, he reached towards Morgan instantly. She took him, and he fussed even more. Her eyes were wide with his ’eh eh eh’ sounds. Brandon took him from her arms, laughing at our confused expressions.
He asked his mate to sit down, and when she did, he put Maze near her belly. Maze lay his head there and purred. A sound I didn’t know an infant could make.
"What the actual fuck." I uttered, while Brandon was laughing his ass off. Then suddenly he became very serious, and then he paled. At that second, Matt walked through the door. Called in there because of the sea of emotions coming from me.
"Babe, what’s wrong?" Matt asks worriedly. He takes in my wide eyes, looking at Morgan in the chair, and Brandon kneeling on the floor with Maze laying on Morgan’s belly.
"Uhm, bro. What are you??" He lifts an eyebrow, and then laughs.
"Damn. That’s though, Bran." Matt laughs, while telling the rest of the room he suspects Maze to be the mate of Morgan and Brandon’s child.
"How can that be? They are an infant, and unborn baby? They can’t have mates already? Right?" I ask the room. Matt shrugs.
"Our babies are special, and it makes sense. Morgan is the Mother of her coven, more witch than werewolf. No offense." She smiles and shakes her head.
"And Brandon, the knucklehead he is, is pure werewolf, no magic. Their child will be a mix between magic and shifter, and with being mated to Maze, the next Queen amongst both fractions." I nod, following his logic.
Brandon complains non stop about how unfair that is. He hasn’t held his child yet, and Maze is already claiming her. He also tells us it is a girl, and they have known for a while but wanted to surprise us.
Well, surprise.
From then on, Maze was practically attached to Morgan every time she is proximity to him. Crying when she leaves, and fussing if she is away for too long.
When Winter came to visit a week later, along with Willow and Jax, she took one look at my babies and chuckled.
"The Destiny Children, as I live and breathe." She said. I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
"Uhm. Miss Winter." I began, but she held up her hand. freewebnσvel.cøm
"She is a fire elemental, and she is impossible strong already." Winter answers, and then looks at Maze, who babbles in baby language at her. She smiles a little, taking his hand.
"Please mind-link the beta female, Abigail."
That was a strange request, but I do as she asks. Mind-linking Laurel to come to the nursery, and bring Kaiden. He had been so busy lately, arranging for the Alpha gathering and making sure we were stuck up in the kitchen. Laurel had been assisting him, doing a wonderful job at being organised, and keeping me in the loop.
I think sometimes she is feeling left out, because all of my other female friends, close friends, are my sisters or my soul sisters in the star wolves. But she is wonderful and has not once complained about anything.
Five minutes later, Kaiden and Laurel walk into the nursery hand in hand.
"Hey Abby. What’s up?" Kaiden asks, munching on an apple. Laurel rolls her eyes, and I smile. Winter clears her throat. Both their heads snap to her. They both look confused why she is here, but greet her, Willow and Jax none the less. Willow is sitting in a chair beside Amber’s crib, holding her hand and humming a melody. Jax is standing by her side, emotions swirling in his eyes.
"Miss Laurel. I was the one to ask the Queen to get you here. I need you to take Maze’s hand. Please." Laurel looks at me, and I shrug my shoulders. I do not know as well what is happening. Winter taps her feet impatiently.
"Come on, girl, I don’t have all day here. I need to get my things ready before Willow has to be back in the horrid place." This gets our attention.
"Grandmother? What do you mean, pack?" Willow asks from her chair. Jax looks amused.
"That is exactly what I meant, child. I am going with you back, and that is final. I don’t trust that overgrown kitty cat to look after you properly." She sends Jax a disapproving look. Both of them smile in return, even though Jax doesn’t look too happy to be called an overgrown kitty cat.
Laurel moves to Maze’s crib, grabbing his hand. The moment she touches him, her eyes and hair become bright white, and her body stiffens.
"As I suspected." Winter scoffs.
Laurel lets go of Maze, and collapses on the ground. I am at her side immediately. Brandon was on her other side. She is trembling, crying, and gasping for air.
What the hell?
