**Cleo POV:**
"Cleo, baby we got to go. There are rogues outside attacking we need to get you to safety", Robert said.
"He is not lying, trust me if you don't trust him", McKee said.
As soon as I get up to leave the room, my worst fear happened my fucking water broke. All three of us look down with fear, this is not good at all. How can I outrun a rogue attack, Robert, and make it to Valenzano all while in labor?
I can't push out three babies in the fucking woods. Fuck the pains are getting worst and we haven't left the compound yet. Both of them helped me down the hall I froze seeing a makeshift elevator.
"Cleo we must go before they get here", McKee said.
"I get sick on elevators and this one doesn't look safe. It doesn't look like it can hold all of us", I say as another contraction hits me hard. I would have fallen if it wasn't for Robert and McKee holding me up.
Reluctantly I get on the elevator, looking around I realized the compound was a big ass treehouse. Have anyone looked up they would not notice that we are up here. We get to the bottom and McKee hands me a gun and a silver dagger.
Robert walks into the woods first then me, then McKee. These men are ready to protect me if there is an attack, but neither of them lets my hand go. Another contraction hit me and a swore I heard Valenzano's voice.
"Robert I can't go anymore these contractions are becoming painful", I say as I try not to push prematurely.
"Baby if I would have known for sure that Avaya would have betrayed me. I would have never induced your labor here. Would have taken you home", Robert said, and I slapped him.
"WHY?! Why would you do that? Why partner with the woman who wants me dead", I reached for the gun that McKee gave me. If I can shoot Valenzano I can damn sure shoot and kill Robert.
"Cleo, don't we need each other to get you out of here safely and back to your husband", McKee said.
We walk what seems like forever and my babies are trying to force their way out. I am afraid if I keep walking, I will go into full labor. Valenzano where are you? We need you please hurry. I say a silent prayer. Leave it to the pups of the world's most feared Alpha to want to come out during a battle. While doing my breathing I hear Valenzano's voice, but he is not here. Then it dawned on me that whatever Robert gave me wore off and now I can mind link him.
"Valenzano, I need you", I cried via mind link.
"Cleo! Baby where are you?', he asked sounding panicked.
"I don't know somewhere in the woods. Valenzano, I am in labor I don't want to have our babies in the dark woods and without you", I said crying.
"Are you alone", he asked, I know he is going to lose his shit when I tell him who I am with.
"No, I am with Robert and his superior McKee. They are helping me get to the pack lands", I said.
"I AM GOING TO KILL THEM BOTH", he yells.
"Yelling is not helping, and you can't kill McKee. I have no issues with you killing Robert at this point", I said trying not to push.
"I need you to find out which way are you heading, so we can intersect you", he said.
"McKee where are we", I asked as the liquid continues to drip down my leg.
"We are about a half-mile west of the pack lands", he said.
"Val, we are a half-mile west of the pack lands. Hurry little Alpha doesn't want to stay inside he wants to come out a protect his mama. My water broke already", I said.
I fall to my knees after another contraction hit me hard. McKee said they are three minutes apart and that we might not make it to the pack lands on time. Goddess, I hope we make it on time, I want Valenzano to hold my hand and greet his children when they come into this world. We stop I see Robert pull out his gun McKee did the same. Then I found out why they were on alert. That Avaya came out of the bushes with an evil grin on her face. Tonight, one of us dies and it won't be me.
"Hello, fancy meeting you guys here", she said with a laugh.
"What do you want bitch", these contractions are madding me want to rip someone's heads off.
"I came to collect your life and the life of two of your pups", this bitch lost her fucking mind.
"Back the fuck off Avaya", McKee says pointing her gun to her head.
"I would drop that if I were you, you all being outnumbered and all", she says as wolves come out of the bushes.
Fuck my life why is this happening why this woman won't submit to her defeat. I can't run. But I can fight I won't let this bitch take my babies or my husband. The wolf’s circular us and Robert told me to run. And I did as much as I tried, but my body won't let me get far. The next thing I know this bitch pimp slapped me and I fell into a tree.
"Did you think I would let you take what's mine!", she yelled. Crazy bitch and the sad part some of this is Valenzano's fault.
"He was never yours bitch. He will never love you the way he loves me", I say which pisses her off.
"He was always mine you were the one keeping my spot warm. With you and two of those pups gone he will need a mate to give him a male heir. Of course, I will tell him a story about how I was worried about him and came back for him and found you bleeding to death on the cold ground and that I could only save one of his pups, one of the girls of course", she says with an evil laugh.
This bitch is dying today not tomorrow TODAY. She pulled me by my ankles and force my legs open and look. She smirks and says not long until I push. This bitch really thinks I am going to push my babies out into her arms no fucking way.
I take the gun McKee gave me and I shot her I don't know where, but I know it hit her. I tried to get hit but the pain and my stomach made it hard. As soon as I got up she used her claw to scratch my ankle.
"I wanted to do this the easy way. But now you don't want to cooperate. So now I will just have to rip those bastards out of you", she said as she ripped my shirt and attempt to claw at my stomach.
"You will never have him or my babies", I said as I took the dagger and stabbed her in her shoulder.
I had to roll to get up but then I didn't I ran and used the little strength I had to run. I tripped and fell on my side thank God the gun I had was at arm's length. She runs to me and shifts as she lands. I put all fifteen bullets in her then scream.
That put her ass down I pull the dagger out of her and start stabbing her in the neck. I want to make sure this bitch is dead. I don't know when he came but I felt strong arms wrapped around me pulling me off her dead body. The electric feeling calmed me and the babies, Valenzano my Val made it to me.
