**Cleo POV:**
Today was supposed to be the best day of my life next to giving birth to my babies, but, no, Robert has lost his everlasting mind. Just when I had peace, he tries to take it away, well take me away. I don't know what he is trying to do, but I won't be able to protect him this time. Valenzano will kill him if I don't do it first. All morning I have been having Braxton Hicks, but now they are becoming more intense. I hope Valenzano gets her soon. I don't want to have our babies in whatever this place is.
"ROBERT......ROBERT YOU SON OF A BITCH WHERE ARE YOU. LET ME OUT OF HERE", fuck these cramps are getting worse.
Of course, his punk ass doesn't respond, he is so dead. The bastard gave me something to induce my labor. I need to get out of here. Please, babies stay inside for mommy until daddy comes for us, I say, as rub my stomach. If these babies come, I have no idea what Robert will do to them. He said he didn't want to hurt them. I doubt a man who steals another man's pregnant wife on their wedding day has good intentions.
Fuck, he knew today was my wedding day. That meant he had to keep tabs on me. The last time I saw Robert was in September, a little over three months ago. Fucking three months, his ass has been watching me for three months. He is so dead when Valenzano shows up and I won't try to stop him either.
I know he is watching me, a fucking bastard, to think I used to love this man. If I don't calm down, I will have these babies here. I need to relax a little. Thank Goddess I am still wearing Valenzano's shirt. The smell of the sensual trinity helps me stay calm a little. I hum the song my mother always sings when she is stressed. She said her mother usually sings it when stressed as well.
"Now I've heard there was a secret chord; That David played, and it pleased the Lord; But you don't really care for music, do you?; It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth; The minor falls, the major lifts; The baffled king composing; Hallelujah; Hallelujah, Hallelujah; Hallelujah, Hallelujah", I sang.
I was so lost in singing the song I didn't realize someone had come into the room. I looked up and there was a man standing. Looking at me singing a verse to the song, crying. What the hell is he crying for? I should be the one fucking crying.
The man introduced himself as McKee, Robert's superior. I have heard the name McKee somewhere, but I can't put my finger on it. He asked me some questions. We talked, then I realized he was the man my mom used to tell me about.
"McKee as in Jason McKee", I asked.
"Yes, and only one person dared to call me by my first name as she was the love of my life", he said as he continued to look at me like he has seen a ghost.
"My mother?", I asked.
"Yes, my Bas. You look like a lighter version of her", he said.
"She used to tell me about you. You were her best friend who she loved, but then she met my father", I say, and he frowns a little.
"Your father?", he asked, looking confused.
"Yeah Seth Coppola", I said.
"The Alpha", he said, like we now realized who I was talking about.
"Yeah, he was an Alpha", I said.
"My dear, where is your mother", he asked with hopeful eyes, that he would see her again.
"Sh.... she died when I was sixteen years old. We were attacked by another pack. She gave her life for me so I can escape", I said. crying thinking about that day.
"My Bas is dead? How did you survive all these years?", he asked.
"Robert found men in the woods and took care of me. Please help me, I need to leave. I can't have my babies here. My mother wouldn't want me to have her grandbabies here", I say as I sob on his shoulder.
"What do you mean Robert found you?", he asked.
We sat and talked. I told him how Robert found me after the attack. Him taking care of me, falling in love with me, marrying me. He seemed shocked by it all. To think about it, I never met any of Robert's coworkers. I didn't even know he was a hunter until recently. I told him about how I met Valenzano. It felt like I was confessing my sins to a priest. He told me how my mother was the first female commander and chief of the hunter association. And that she gave it all up for the love she had for my father.
And how my biological father betrayed her and the association and paid for it with his life. I can't believe my mother was a hunter. That explains her fighting skills and why she pushed me so hard.
"Cleo, your name suits you. You know your mother loved everything about Cleopatra, how strong of a queen she was. So strong that the world considered her a Pharaoh (King)", he says as he looks at the pendant.
"I miss her so much", I confess, holding back tears.
"As do I, I never got over her. My dear, I must tell you that you are the last of the descendant of the great Abraham Van Helsing the founder of the hunter association. I and my man are loyal to you. If you wish to leave, then so be it. I will take you back to your Alpha myself", he says, and I hug him, and he leaves the room.
**McKee POV:**
My Bas daughter is the one that Robert has been obsessed with. What a small world. I have to give him the news I know he is not going to want to hear, he has to let her go. All this time, a part of my Bas have been out there in the world under my nose. Why wasn't I told the name of the pack that was attacked? If I would have known, I would have looked for her or any survivors.
Or that there was at least one survivor. Robert fucked up his report and said nothing about a survivor nor what pack was attacked. Everyone in the association knew we had a truce with one were pack, which is the first in the association's history. When I walked into the security room, judging by the look on Robert's face, he heard our conversation and knew what I was about to order him. I pray he listens to the order.
"I am taking her back to her pack", I said as a formality.
"NO! YOU CAN'T TAKE HER BACK. SHE IS MY WIFE", he yells.
"NO! SHE IS NOT SHE IS SO MUCH MORE", I yelled back, pissed that he kept her existence from me.
"You heard our conversation. She is going back and that is an order", I said, looking at the map.
I need to find a safe route to take her. Avaya is still missing in action and that bitch is bound to show up and Cleo's contractions are becoming closer.
“You kept this information and her identity from the association with me", I said, trying not to get upset.
"I WORKED TOO HARD TO GET HER BACK. I AM NOT LETTING HER GO", he yells, and I am about two seconds from putting a bullet in his head.
"YOU HAVE TO YOUR DUTY IS TO THE ASSOCIATIONS, MY ORDER STANDS", I yelled.
"WHAT ABOUT MY DUTY AS A HUSBAND?", he asked.
"YOUR SO CALL DUTY AS A HUSBAND DOESN'T MATTER HERE! IN THERE IS THE DAUGHTER OF MY BAS; HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN YOUR OATH?', I was about to punch him.
"No sir haven't", he says as he looks at the monitor and sees Cleo rubbing her stomach.
"THEN SAYS IT", I ordered.
"This pledge I make to the bloodline of Abraham Van Helsing. I declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty, of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen. That I will support and defend the laws of the almighty God; I will give my life to protect the innocent; saved and unsaved; to protect those who are able to protect themselves against the forces of evil so help me God", he says with pride.
"This pledge I make to the bloodline of Abraham Van Helsing; THERE IS THE LAST DESCENDANT OF ABRAHAM VAN HELSING. She doesn't love you anymore nor does she want to be here. You must let her go", I ordered.
" I did not know of her lineage and I...I can't let her go. I love her with all my heart", he said, about to cry. And I feel sorry for him. He has to choose between disobeying me and dying because of it. Or letting her go.
"If you would have not left out her existence or the name of the pack out of the report, I would have known and would have told you. Things would have been different. I know what you are feeling because I loved her mother and still do, but I had to let her go", I explained to him.
"Sirs, we are under attack!", my officer yelled.
"Is it the Alpha?", I asked.
"No, they are rogues", one of my men said.
"AVAYA", Robert and I said in unison.
