“Thank you for the meal, it was delicious". Mina spoke, sipping the juice. “Eat more". Alex whispered, piling her plate up with food. “But I'm full". Mina protested, battling her eyelids and pouting. Alex smiled. “.. Some people want to see you. Should I let them in?". Alex asked, watching her reactions intently. Mina raised her eyebrows and nodded. Soon the door barged in with her friends and family, who embraced her in a hug. “You are hurting her". Alex groaned, annoyed by their actions. He knew they were definitely going to overwhelm his mate. Why did he even let them in? “We missed you". Nina spoke holding her daughter's cheeks in her hands. “You have really suffered a lot and we will all make it up to you". Luna Ayla spoke with a smile. “No need for that. I'm perfectly fine but thanks for your concern. It means a lot to me". Mina expresses her feelings by smiling at them.

“Why did you come downstairs? I told you to rest in the room". Alex spoke staring at his mate who was going down the stairs. “But I can't stay in the room forever. No one wants to hurt me again. They are dead, remember, and I'm totally fine. Stop treating me like I'm fragile. I won't break". Mina explained, staring back at him. Alex chuckled. There was no way he would win this argument. She looked cute when she was angry. Alex had been keeping her indoors for a while now, not allowing her to move from the room, but she was perfectly fine. He was just exaggerating and over possessive.“Where are the others?". Mina asked, taking a seat on the sofa. Gina and Amya are at the daycare you set up while the guys are dealing with pack issues at hand. " Alex explained, flipping casually through a magazine lying on the sofa. “Aren't you supposed to be dealing with the issues at hand? I can handle myself. Just go". Mina said, raising her eyebrows. “Those issues at hand are not that important. They can wait for as long as I have the time. You are more important". Alex explained, staring at his mate. Mina blushed harder like a teenage girl who had fallen in love for the first time.







“If it was not for the Alpha couple, who else would be displaying their love openly". Gina spoke sarcastically, imitating her mate's voice. They burst into laughter and Mike raised his eyebrows at his mate's taunt. Who copies their mate's voice just to mock them? Mike chuckled, glaring at his mate, who smiled and winked. How could he be angry at her when she looked this cute?

“I swear, Noah, if you ever put me in this situation again, I will cut off your dick." Amya spoke through gritted teeth when she was hit by another contraction. “I'm sorry love. What can I do to take the pain away?". Noah asked worriedly. The entire members staying in the pack house had been awakened by the screams of the beta female whose water broke and was due for labour. The whole pack house was in chaos but she had refused to go, the pack hospital insisting the doctor come to the pack house. Everyone gathered in the room looked at Noah, who looked scared. “Can you please leave, with the exception of her mate". The doctor dismissed the rest of the people from the room. They stood outside with anticipation.







“You need to relax your breathing. At the count of three, I want you to give me your biggest push", the doctor ordered. Amya nodded, grasping tightly her mate's hands and pushing with all her might. “You are doing great. I can see the head. One final push", the doctor explained. “I hate you for putting me through this". Amya spoke through gritted teeth and pushed. Soon there was the crying of a baby. The doctor held the bloodied baby and handed him over to the nurse he brought along who washed him clean. He handed the baby to the couple and Amya burst into tears, forgetting about her pain . “He looks cute, he's got your nose and eyes. He looks just like you". Amya spoke, staring at her mate. “Do you want to hold him".Noah nodded and took his son for the first time. His mate was right, he was the carbon copy of him. He looked just like him. He smiled as the baby began to suck on his thumb. “I think he's hungry". He spoke, handling the baby gently to his mate. The nurse taught Amya how to breastfeed the baby and after thoroughly cleaning the mother and son up,they excused themselves from the room.







The others barged into the room, taking turns to hold the baby and congratulating the couple. “He resembles his dad". Mina commented, holding her godson for the first time. “Have you thought of a name yet?". Mina asked, intrigued. “How about Xavier?". Amya asked, looking at her mate, who nodded in response. “Xavier sounds cool and it's a nice name". Mina rocked the baby and handed him over to his parents. Alex smiled at his mate rocking his nephew. She will be a great and caring mother one day. “Wait, I have gifts for you?". Mina spoke, handing over the box to Amya. “You can open it". Mina added, looking at Amya. Amya gasped at the content. It's so nice,it will look adorable on him. Whose idea was it". Amya asked happily. “I know you will find it hard to believe but this was all Alex's idea". Mina explained, staring at her mate, who smiled and nodded. “I didn't know you had such a sweet spot". Mike spoke sarcastically, earning a glare from the alpha.
