A pound of flesh.

A pound of flesh.

As they got to the Packhouse she began to feel her labour pains.
"Ouch" she held her stomach.
"What is wrong baby girl?" Asher asked before he remembered that she was in labour.
"Quick call the nurse she is needed the midwife is needed Luna is in labour" Wade shouted at anyone who could hear what was going on, the maids began to run to go and take Luna into the room which had already been prepared.
"I feel hurt, someone makes it stop, this is super painful" she screamed hard.
"Sorry, take it susceptible ill be there to make sure you are fine" he held unto his baby's hand as they entered the room which had been prepared for the delivery.
"You can do this!" Asher said.
"No I cannot do this, you asshole, why would you put me in this possible you put this into me take it out!" she screamed casting those around to laugh but it wasn't funny at the moment because she was in pain and her pains seemed to be extreme.
There was a dark colour over her as she pushed the pup out and the mark on her was shining trying to ward it off same Asher used his powers to fight the from touching those whom he loved.
It was not easy but it should have been if she wasn't being targeted because of the prophecy, at last, she gave birth to the pup who can out with a strange birthmark on his neck.
"What does this mean?" Lidien asked as she held the pup in her arms while she was being cleaned up by the midwife who congratulated her.
Asher couldn't stop smiling there was merriment and somehow the evil cloud around her was lost.
and everything seemed to be reasonable at the moment.
"We did it!" Ashley couldn't help being a father.
"Yes have we done it".
Just then the rest entered the to with smiles on their face on seeing the pup but when he touched the pup and blessed he asked everyone who wasn't and had not been in the arrangement of everything to leave.
" You'd have to give the pup to your parents now they've got to leave for the secret place where they would be there until this is all over," he said.
"What, I wouldn't nurse my pup?" Listen asked in awe and disbelief.
"You would nurse your pup but from a distance, the mark he has is a way to show you that the previous goddess is with him and she would take care of him forever so long as the war is being taken care of they need to go into hiding this night" he continued.
"Okay!" Lidien and Asher answered in unison as she was downcast and not knowing what to say anymore if this was for the better then she had to use it at her disposal.
They made arrangements and all they had to do, was nobody had to know what and where they were going just the Alpha and Luna had to know because they had to bond with their Pup.
And just like that, that night they had taken the Pup and her parents away and it was as though she was never pregnant.
"I can't believe this" Asher said.
"I know right I feel hurt" she replied in a calm voice.
"Don't you bother you would see them again after all this is over" Asher consoled her?

A few days later.

Being anxious was the order of the day when it concerned them in the waiting room every time the nurse left from inside to come out and take something almost everyone jumped up to their feet to ask how far the surgery had gone and by everyone Asher would be the number one person who was quite worried about his wife's condition.
It was only normal she was his best friend and mate and wife too so he needed to know how she was doing and if everything was going as planned.
To make things tenser it was rainy, the heavy rain pouring down on the roof of the hospital building become irritable to Asher who just wanted to hear the beeping sound from the operation to know his wife was still alive because the doctor had said it would be a little difficult since it was hidden under her uterus and if care was not taken they could cut into another organ which God forbid didn't happen because Asher had warned them and told them to be extremely careful besides that their professional ethics won't let them be careless on a patient lest they got the wrath of Asher and the hospital gets closed.
And all their licenses could be ceased because of that coupled with the fact that the family they were dealing with was quite influential and had the power to destroy them within the blink of an eye, no normal reasonable wolf who considered his job would want that so they had to be careful Asher was a sweet Alpha but could become extremely ruthless when the need arose.
Seven long hours later and she was out but unconscious in the recovery room they had paid for a private room so she would not be with other patients and would not be disturbed by many people visiting the ward of the others.
She looked like she was out of the pain because the growth had been taken out.
Asher was the first to go in the rushed and gave her a tight hug that had woken her up from her unconscious state he felt a hand rubbing his back and when he turned to look she was looking at him tired but she looked relieved.
They talked a bit with him trying hard not to make her stressed by talking much.
Later he asked what she wanted to eat and she just responded she wanted the soup to drink he left and he left almost immediately to go order soup but not without kissing her for staying with him and then he left.
Okay now what happened was after the pup and her parents were taken to the private secret hideout Estaban decided to attack and the attack was gruesome.
Given the fact that she had just put to birth and was trying to heal from an impromptu birth she coolant fight that much and so Estaban had the leverage of getting as close to her stomach area and after some incantations, he implanted a deadly growth into her body which got her weak and she couldn't talk at all she had to use some of her powers which she did and that was the reason why she was alive at the pack hospital and the seer had also helped out when the doctors were trying to get the growth out.
These doctors were specially trained for this and they all did a great job by taking it out she was getting better by the minute the cut at her abdomen was getting better and she could feel her energy come back to her in no time but the rest advised she rested because her body had done more than enough for a short period.
"Thank you for being here babe, and thank the previous goddess I am alive to look into your eyes once again" she appreciated and he smiled because he couldn't help but be happy she had survived.
"Rest beautiful, you would need this energy soon enough," Asher said and left the room for her to rest.
This didn't get any easier.
