Alexandra's POV
I can't believe that just yesterday I got out of the hospital after being hospitalized and now I'm standing in front of the altar, looking at the crowd in front of me. They are all broken for our lost. My dad was a great man. The kindest man you could have ever met. I loved him and I'll still love him, till the day I die.
His death brought sadness to all of us, but life must go on, but the question is. How can I live happily knowing that a part of me isn't here anymore? I looked at my mom and saw her clutching at my brother. Alexander. She's a hypocrite. She's the reason why my father isn't alive. She's the one who caused the death of my father and I'll never forgive her for that.
"I never thought that I'll be up here today. I thought you'll be here to see your grandchildren born and grow up like any other grandfather, but I guess not. Life sometimes is cruel and gives us test to pass each day and this is one of them. I'll have to learn to live without you. You were an amazing and caring father anyone could ask for and you're not here anymore. I'll miss you dad. Forever and always." I said looking up before looking in the crowd for Max.
I sobbed loudly, shaking my head which made Max and Anderson stood up abruptly trying to get to me but I backed away. "No. No. No!" I shook my head sobbing hysterically before rushing out of the pack house with Max hot on my trail.
I pushed the door open, running down the stairs and ran toward our house, opening the door. I closed the door hard, running upstairs in my parents' bedroom, crashing on the bed. It still smells like my dad, I snuggled deeper in the pillow, hugging it against my body while I cried my heart out.
There was a knock on the door before Max spoke. "Damn. You ran pretty fast for being seven months pregnant." I shook my head at him as I laughed between tears, wiping my tears away.
He sighed. "Don't do this again okay. You scared me to death." He said getting on the bed, hugging me against his body.
I sniffed loudly. "My dad Max." I cried out. "My dad is dead, and he is never going to come back." He soothed me while rocking my body back and forth. "He's never going to see his grandsons or granddaughters born." I choked out between tears. "He's never going to see them grow Max." I looked up at Max, sobbing loudly before hugging him tightly.
"Aaah....!" I felt a heavy kick that made me jolt up, groaning in pain as I clutched at my stomach in pain. What the hell was that!
Max looked at me with worry written all over his face. "What! Are you okay?" I sobbed quietly. He grabbed my chin, making me look straight into his eyes. "Answer me please." I took deep breaths while running my hands on my swollen belly, calming the babies. They haven't kick since the incident. "Are you feeling okay now?" Max asked rubbing his large hand over my belly.
I nodded my head. "Yeah. It was just a kick. A big on that is." I smiled cooing at my babies. He grinned proudly. "I guess we have the next line then." I smiled at him, but I remembered my dad and started to cry again. "Baby please, don't cry. It's not good for the babies." He grabbed my face in his hands and wiped away my tears with his thumbs.
"He didn't deserve to die Max! She caused this! If she didn't pressure my dad to go for a run, he would have been still alive by now." I flung into his arms and squeezed the hell out of him as I cried my heart out. He shushed me as he moved our bodies back and forth, trying to comfort me.
I flinched with every sniff, my body visibly shaking as clutched my fingers at Max jacket, his fingers running through my eyes as my heavy eyelids started to flutter close.
He leaned us down on the bed, brushing my hair as I blinked my eyes open, shaking slightly as the darkness slowly took over me.
I sniffed as I ran the back of my hand on my forehead, blinking away. I frowned as I leaned up slowly and stared around in a daze, I must have fallen asleep. I yawned as I stretched myself out of the bed and walked inside of my old bathroom.
I filled the tub with warm water and took my clothes off, closing the handle as I got inside carefully. I took a deep breath and sunk in the water. "Alexa!" I was pulled out of the now cold water in a swift movement, making me cough up furiously.
We lay on my bathroom floor, soaked in the cold water. Max had me wrapped in his arms as I shivered and trembling from cold and sobs. I cried in his arms like a baby wanting love from its favorite person in the world but now he's gone.
He muttered soothing things to me as he ran his hands up and down my arms. I leaned backwards a little to look into his eyes and said. "Right now, all I need is you."
Four weeks later
Happy post baby shower!" We shouted as soon as Zoë walked inside of the room with the babies in their pushchair. She gasped in shock as she stared at the pack house in amazement and with watery eyes. Her hands flew toward her mouth as she shook her head still in shock.
"We know it's a bit late but with everything that happen we didn't have time to give you a proper baby shower." She snapped out of her shocking state and glared at all of us, including my brother.
"That's why you all acted strange today. I thought it was my imagination." She then turned to my brother and slapped him across his chest. "You told me you had things to do! When did you plan all of this?" She walked inside of the living room and stared at the long table with all kinds of baby snacks.
"Yesterday?" I smiled cheekily at her as she gulped down a snack, narrowing her eyes at me. "What? It's not my fault that my brother decided to do this as soon as possible."
"Thank you all for everything. I don't know how to thank you." She looked at all of us with glossy eyes as she started to get emotional. We awed at her and pulled her into a big group hug, well almost. They didn't want to squeeze me to death.
"I have a gift for you! I'll be right back." I skipped from the hug and went to grab my gift. I walked past the slide door and saw Andre sitting on the steps. I stopped myself and slid the door open, stepping outside and slide the door back close behind me. "Hey. Why aren't you inside?" I walked toward him and sat next to him with his help. "What's wrong?"
He turned to face me with a short smile playing on his face. "Nothing." He shook his head and stared ahead. "I know you too well Andre. And I know that something is bothering you." I leaned on my knees and turned to face him as I sighed. "You can tell me you know that." I touched his hand and gave it a slight squeeze.
"I found out that I'm half werewolf." I leaned my head on his shoulder and mentioned him to continue. "I found my mate too." I leaned up slowly as I looked at him. "But he rejected me because he said he didn't like men."
"Awe Andre." I looked sadly at him as I pulled him into a comforting hug. "If I ever find out who he is, I'm going to rip his balls off for rejecting you." He laughed at me as he pushed me slightly with his shoulder. "I'm glad to see you laugh." I smiled at him genuinely as I slowly leaned my head back on his shoulder, looking ahead. "I miss him you know."
"I know. I miss him too. He was like a dad to me." I pouted my lips as I started to get emotional again. This has been a hell of a month. If it wasn't for Max and my babies I wouldn't think I would have survived it for this long. My Father meant, and still means everything to me. "Did you talk to your mom?"
"No." I shook my head as I sniffed. "I don't think I can forgive her." The door behind us slid open as Max walked out. "What you guys doing out here?" He asked curiously with furrowed eyebrows as he walked toward us. "Are you okay? Why are you crying?" Max asked worried and restless as he kneeled next to me.
I raised my head from Andre's shoulder and stood up with the help of Max, wiping my cheeks. "Nothing. Just remembering my dad that's all." I gave him a reassuring smile and leaned forward to give him a kiss. He met me halfway and captured my lips in a sweet kiss. "Let's go inside." I said as I looked at Andre who smiled shortly at me.
"I'll be with you in a minute." I looked at him unsure but nodded in defeat, turning to max as I gave him a side hug and walked toward the open slide door and got in, sliding it behind us.
"Where were you? And where's my gift?" Zoë asked as soon as we stepped into the living room. Oh, right! I forgot. "I'll be right back. And this time I mean it." I pulled away from Max and went to my old room, strolling inside. I walked toward my walk-in closet and looked for the drawer with the gifts.
I walked toward it and pulled out the gifts from the drawer. "Alexa?" Max called my name as he entered the room. "In the closet." I chirped as I closed the drawer.
He sneaked his arms around my belly and leaned his head on my shoulder. "What?" I laughed as I turned my head to stare at him. "We look good together." I shook my head at him and stared ahead, looking into the mirror. We did look good. "You're so short." He teased as he whirled me around, boxing me in his arms.
I pinned my lips together and scrunched up my nose. "You can still go for a model looking mate." I crossed my arms as I narrowed my eyes at him. He fake laughed at me and rolled his eyes. "You know that I want you. Not some anorexic skinny model." I shook my head and rolled my eyes at his attempt to get on my good grace.
"Enough of models. We need to start training, ya know, stretching the passage for when the time comes." I gasped embarrassed as my cheeks started to burn. "You're such a pig." I slapped his chest as I pulled away from his grip, walking past him.
"What? Leah said it can help too." Max teasing voice argued with me as he walked behind me. "I'm not having sex with you Max." I put my hands with the gifts on my ears, babbling to myself just to ignore his inappropriate comments.
We walked out of my room and went back to the living room; this time Andre was there talking to Anderson. "I'm back. Here, one for baby one and one for baby two." I gave Zoë the small gifts in her hand. "Open them."
She unfolded the wrapping papers and opened the small boxes. "Aw, they're so cute." She grabbed the pendants in her hand and showed it to the others. It was a baby wolf pendant, one boy and one girl. "Thank you Lexi." She grinned sharply at me as she turned to put the pendants around the babies small necks.
Later that day
What a day. I mentally sighed as I ducked into the sheets, closing my eyes. The bedroom door opened, and Max walked in, closing the door behind him. He took his shirt off and walked inside of the bathroom, soon after that I heard the shower running.
I closed my eyes and cursed at myself when images of Max showering came into my mind. I unconsciously moaned as I bit my lips. What is he doing to me? I wanted to blame it on the hormones, but it was all my doing.
I got out of the bed and took my pajamas off, walking toward the bathroom and opened the door quietly. The shower glasses were foggy from the warm water, so I could only see his silhouette, and let me tell you this, it was a sight to die for. I licked my lips and walked toward the shower, sliding the door open and closed it slowly behind me.
He was engrossed in the shower that he didn't hear me sneak up behind him. I shook my head as I started at his ass, licking, and biting my lips. Oh lord. I raised my hands and ran them down his shoulders, going down his arms teasingly.
He, shivering from my touch brought a victory smirk on my face. "I thought you said you wouldn't have sex with me?"
"Who said I was going to have sex with you?" I bit my lips as he grunted out loudly, clearly sexually frustrated. "Maybe I can make an exception." He turned around and scooped me up in his arms in a swift movement. It still amazes me that after hundred plus kilos, he still had the strength to pick me up like I weighted nothing. Yeah. I'm hundred plus kilo and pregnant with twins. Don't judge. I'm having werewolf babies, what did you expect?
"Max. We can't have sex in here." I breathlessly stated after I pulled away from our make-out session. "That can be arranged." He closed the handle and walked us out of the shower and into the bedroom. "You're not going to escape from me tonight."
