Chương 70: CHAPTER SEVENTY

I watched as the doctor came in and checked out Lucy to see what was wrong with her. Max paced back and forth with his hand on his waist and a hand brushing his chin. I put my hands together and leaned them on my mouth, my thumbs under my chin as I breathed out nervously.

"Is she okay?" I asked after a long silence in the room, not being able to help myself.

Philip pulled his stethoscope out of his ears and turned to look at me with a sigh. "She has a fever; a fever is a common sign of illness but that's not necessarily a bad thing. In fact, fevers seem to play a key role in fighting infections."

"You're saying that she has an infection?" Max was the one to ask as he walked toward me, pulling me by his side. "No, I'm not saying that I have to run some tests first but for now, all she needs is to rest and drink plenty of fluids, I don't think medication is necessary." Philip put his things in his bag and zipped it up. "Call me if the fever is accompanied by a severe headache, stiff neck, shortness of breath, or other unusual signs or symptoms."

I nodded my head and walked with Philip to the door. "She's going to be okay Alexandra." He patted my shoulder and headed out of the door. I sighed as I closed the door and crossed my arms together. "She doesn't look okay." Max sighed and pulled me into a hug, lingering a kiss on my forehead.

We stayed in this position for a while and pulled away when Lucy started to cough wildly. I rushed toward her and helped her sit up, passing her the glass of water for her to drink. "Take this." I put it on her mouth and helped her hold the glass.

"Thanks." I smiled at her and put the glass on the nightstand. "I mean, for everything you're doing. I don't deserve any of your kindness."

"Lucy, we don't have to talk about that, it's over now." She shook her head and grabbed my hand in hers, giving it a squeeze.

"I never planned on doing what I did. I know it's too late for me to say this but I'm sorry. I really thought that Max and I had something, but it was all in my head. I mean, ever since I was little, my mother told me that Max and I would be together and that him and I were mates. I think that, that kind of hang in my head and when I saw you two together, I snapped. I'm really sorry." I smiled at her sincerity and brushed her hair out of her face, moving my hand to squeeze her shoulder.

"Thanks for being sincere with me." I pulled her into a hug and stared at Max who stood there in silence, observing us. "How can you forgive me? I almost killed your babies more than once." She said after she pulled away from me.

"But you didn't, my babies are here with me and that's all that matters. Come on, you can't stay in bed." I helped her up and was ready to leave when Max voice stopped us.

Max cleared his throat behind me. "The doctor clearly said that she needs to rest which means that she needs to stay in bed." I groaned loudly and turned around slowly with a sweet smile on my face. "No." My smile dropped, and I pouted at him.

"Pretty please, just around the house." I begged him over and over until he caved in. I squealed and jumped on him, smooching him. "Thank you. We can make another baby later." I winked at him and jumped off, dragging Lucy out of the room.

Max coughed out with bulged eyes, and I laughed at him. "Come on Lucy, let me take you to the nursery room." I dragged Lucy to the nursery room and opened the door, babbling filling our ears. "Lucy, I present you, my babies."

She walked in slowly and looked around the room. "It's beautiful, who made it?"

"Max did." I walked toward Rebekah's crib and took her tiny hands in my bigger ones. "Hey baby." She dropped the toy she was munching on to stare at me with a toothless smile. I laughed at how cute she looked and scared her. "Oh baby, mommy's sorry."

I picked her up and planted a kiss on her forehead while she pouted her lips. She put her head on my shoulder and I patted her back lightly as I cooed at her. "She's cute." She said as she looked around awkwardly.

"You can pick one of them you know, I don't bite." She hesitated for a moment before she picked up Maximilian and cradled him. "I think he likes you." I winked at her and walked to the rock chair. "You can sit here if you want."

I sat on one of the rock chairs as Lucy did the same and leaned Rebekah in my arms, pulling my strap down to unclasp my bra in the front. Rebekah grabbed my breast and pushed herself up to latch on my nipple, sucking on it like her life depended on it.

"She's hungry." Lucy commented with a smile and Rebekah moved her mouth from my nipple to stare at Lucy.

"Ah, Rebekah" She turned back to look at me who hissed in pain and smiled toothless at me, going back to sucking my nipple. "You're worse than your father I swear but at least he gave me pleasure." She pulled away to look at me with an o shape mouth and I laughed at her priceless look.

"You're talking about me?" Max appeared from behind me with Maxim in his arms and gave Rebekah a kiss on her forehead. "He's hungry."

"Again? I just fed him." I groaned out loud as Max pulled the other strap and unclasped my bra, putting Maxim on my nipple.

"You mean two hours ago." He commented amused and Lucy laughed as she played with Maximilian. "Let the boy have some milk, he's hungry." I shot him a get the hell out look and he laughed at me. "Why don't you grow two breasts filled with milk so you can give them?" I gritted out angrily.

"I would if I could." I rolled my eyes at his stupid reply and turned my gaze back to the two babies sucking on my poor nipples. Rebekah's tiny hands latched on my breast and moved my skin up and down like it was a bottle of milk while Maxim just lied there and sucked with his eyes closed.

"He's lazy like you." Max mouth dropped as he stared at me with an incredulous look on his face. "You're lucky that you're feeding my children." He warned me and I laughed at him, my head shaking as I stared at him.

"What does that mean?"

"Don't worry about it." He kissed my forehead and walked out of the nursery room. "You two are perfect for each other." I jumped slightly at the voice of Lucy and turned to look at her. "You forgot that I was here didn't you."

"Yeah, he tends to do that with me, I forget where I am when I'm with him. Can you help me out?" She laughed at me and stood up, walking toward Maximilian's crib to put him down and walked back toward me, taking a sleepy Maxim from my nipple.

He fussed for a few seconds but went still when he was placed in his crib. I clasped my bra back and caressed Rebekah who was still sucking on my other nipple. "Alexandra, I think I'll head straight to bed, I'm tired." I nodded my head at her and squeezed her hand.

I watched as she walked out of the nursery room and turned back to look at Rebekah who had finally fallen asleep. I pulled her a bit to clasp my bra and leaned her head down as I leaned my head on the chair, closing my eyes.

"Don't test my patient." He dragged me toward a chain hanging down the ceiling and clasped the shackles around my wrists. He grabbed the chains and pulled them down; my body was lifted from the ground and my toes were the only thing supporting my weight.

He walked behind me and tugged my hair backwards roughly. "I heard from a little bird that you have powers. There is no such thing because werewolves don't have powers, do they?"

"I don't know what you're talking about." He pushed my hair forward and then out of nowhere I felt a stung on my back. "Ah!" My body jerked forward as Vixon whipped my back hard. "You don't know?" There was a pregnant pause before my body jerked forward again as Vixon flung the whip across my back, making me scream in pain.

"Alexandra?"

"Alexandra!" I jolted awake from the bed and stared at Max who was hovering over me with a concern look on his face. "It was just a bad dream." I flung into his arms and let out a full-blown sob, shaking my head repeatedly.

"It wasn't a dream, Max; I just saw what my daughter is going to go through and I can't do anything to stop it." He cradled me in his arms as he soothed me with sweet words. "Why our daughter Max? Why her?"

I shook my head as I cried out heavily, my hands latching onto Max shirt. "I'm sorry baby." I sobbed loudly until I felt myself dozing off with my daughter's screams of pain, lingering in my head.

The Future

"Where is she!?" A voice boomed from the other side of the door. "Alpha! There are more werewolves down here." Sounds of cells opening could be heard from afar as growls echoed through my cell. I tried to make a sound, but nothing came out of my mouth, my head couldn't even shot up and my eyes weren't even opening.

"Did you guys find her?"

"No Alpha, she's not here."

"Fuck!" I couldn't lift a finger and the hardest part was that I could hear everything going on around me, but I couldn't do anything. They were leaving without me. "Open every cell and try harder, we have to find her, she must be here somewhere." They were getting saved, and I was here, locked up and chained on the ceiling.

"Everyone is out?!" No! I wanted to scream but nothing came out. "Yes, Alpha but we didn't find her." They were leaving. Please save me. My raspy voice mouthed with no sound coming out of it and I cried on the inside. They were going to leave without me. "But there is a cell at the end of the halls, it seems old, and I don't think there's someone in there."

"What are you guys waiting for? Let me see it." Hope. There is still hope.

I jolted awake for the fourth time this night and swung my legs from the bed, walking out of the room and closed the door behind me quietly. I fastened my night gown around my waist and headed to the nursery room, twisting the knob slowly to get inside.

I pushed the door closed and headed toward Rebekah's crib, surprised to see her wide awake. "You're having bad dreams too?" I ran my hand across her head and shivered furiously, my body swaying as my vision darkened.

"Mom! Look what Sebastian gave me!" I jumped excitedly as I showed my mother the promise ring on my ring finger. "He said that it was the symbol of his love for me." I bit my trembling lips as my golden eyes filled with tears.

"Aren't you guys moving too fast?" My mother being the Debbie downer she is ruined everything for me. "I'm kidding." She smiled and raised her hands up in surrender mode, leaning on the counter.

"Mom, you should have seen him. He told me once that he doesn't do romance and look." My mother awed and pulled me into a hug as I cried out. "Aw baby, love can do magical things to people, even the coldest ones." My cries turned into sobs of happiness, and I pulled away, wiping my tears away with a sniff.

"I don't deserve him mom, his not the mate I imagine, his more than that and I can't help but love him more and more each day." My mother smiled warmly at me and the butterflies in my stomach moved around wildly, giving me funny feelings.

"His my perfectly imperfect but I don't want to change a thing."

"Honey, I see the way he looks at you. You need to be blind if you don't see the love, he has for you." My mother grabbed my hands in hers and gave them a squeeze. "Whatever happens between you two, solve it between you two. Don't let anyone break your happiness."

"Because at the end of the day, he's going to be the one you're destined to be with forever."

"Thank you, mom, for everything, for being here for me and to listen to me babbling about Sebastian every single day." I flung into her arms and gave her a tight hug. I couldn't have asked for a better mother than her. She's everything I ever wanted.

"Alexandra?"

"Alexandra baby, do you hear me?" A light shove on my shoulder broke me out of my deep slumber and I blinked my eyes away, moving my head away in confusion when I saw Max hovering above me.

"What happened?" He helped me sit up straight and I leaned my upper body against the crib. "Why am I on the floor?"

"You fainted; do you remember what happened before you fainted?" He asked me as he cupped my face, brushing my cheek with his thumb, his golden eyes staring into my blue-green ones. I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion as I tried to remember something.

"I remember having a bad dream and I woke up in the middle of the night and walked in here." I moved my hand up my forehead and into my hair, brushing it aside. "I... I walked toward the cribs and found Rebekah wide awake."

Something in me snapped and I remembered the dream I had when I fainted. "I put my hand on her head and fainted. I then had a happy memory, but the strange thing was that it wasn't mine. It's like I was seeing through another person's eyes."

"Do you know what it means? She showed you, her future."

"But how? She's so little." I pulled Max hands away and stood up with his help, turning around to look at a now sleeping Rebekah. "She's stronger than you think she is. Our daughter is going to be fine." He put his hand on mine and gave it a squeeze.

"She showed me her promise ring." I turned to look at a frowning Max. "Our daughter has a mate who loves her, and she loves him too." I leaned my head on his shoulder and played with his finger. "I dreamed of a man, searching for someone."

Max cocked his head to stare at me. "Are you fantasying about another man?" Max teased playfully but I knew that he was serious, and I hit him with my elbow. "Hey, don't need to be aggressive."

"I'm serious Max, I think he's Rebekah's mate." His ears perked up at that and I suppressed the urge of rolling my eyes at him. "Why would you think that?" He sighed and turned to the side, moving my hand so I could face him.

"I saw it in his eyes, the way he searched for 'her' was in a way a mate does, he was restless, his voice sounded hollowed." He pulled me into a hug and leaned his head on my head, moving our bodies to the side.

"Come on, let's go to sleep." He kissed my forehead and took my hand in his, walking out of the nursery room. I looked around the room for precaution before closing the door slowly behind me. "You looked stressed out." He molded my shoulders as we made our way inside of the room.

I rolled my head around and moved my tensed shoulders. "What do you have in mind?" I turned around and wrapped my arms around his neck. He pushed the door closed and rose me up by my thighs, walking toward the bed and placed me down on it.

He went straight into my cleavage and kissed my breasts, tugging at the night robe. I pushed him on the side and hovered over him, his hands touching my ass as I ran my hands through his hair. I sat up straight and slid the silk night robe off my shoulders, moving them down my arms to remove it.

Max grabbed the night robe and tossed it aside, kissing my neck. I put my hand on his shirtless chest and moved my hands down his abs, pulling his sweatpants down. Max kissed down my shoulder and slid the straps of my night gown down my arms, kissing my naked breasts.

I put a bit of strength and pushed him under me, sitting right on top of his growing bulge and put my hands on his abs. I arched my hips back and forth his growing bulge, tossing my head back as my clit vibrated happily.

"It's been a while." Max commented but all I did was nodded my head with parted lips, my hips arching like they never did before. My clit clenched in pleasure and soaked my panties with my essences. "You smell so sweet."

I rode him faster when my core heated and pressed down harder on his bulge, feeling the warmth increasing. My lower abdomen clenched as more of my essences soaked my panties. I was so close. I was about to reach my peak when the bulge disappeared, and I groaned.

I rolled on the side and took my soaked panties off, taking off my night gown. He rolled on top of me and put the tip of his length in my entrance, putting his hands on either side of my face as he thrust in. I moaned loudly and grasped at his back, raising my head from the bed.

I dug my feet in the sheets as he arched his hips back and forth, working my body. I put my mouth on his ear making sure to breathe down raggedly, knowing that it would drive him mad. He man trapped my body and slammed his dick inside of me frantically, my moans boosting his ego.

My sex heated and I felt the need to cry out, my clit clenched, and a warm feeling started to build in my lower area. "Harder." I breathed down his ear. "I'm close." He sped up at that and increased the warm feeling into something extraordinary.

The pit in my stomach grew stronger each time and I knew I was close. I dug my nails in his flesh and bit his shoulder to suppress my scream, my eyes rolled back at the amazing feeling and my whole body started to shake.

Max fisted the sheets and moved his hips faster, prolonging my orgasm so he could reach his. He grunted loudly and dipped his head in my neck, tearing my skin apart as he pierced his teeth into my mark.

A warm fluid shot through me, and he shivered, breathing down heavily. "Fuck that was amazing." His chest moved up and down heavily, his heart rate matching my own as we lay there in each other's arms.

"Indeed."
