Chapter 131: Contractions 

Chapter 131: Contractions 

Ruby’s POV 

“Alice! Anna! Where are you?!” 

Chaos erupted around me. I moved with all my strength, searching for my children. My heart pounded violently in my chest, the sharp scent of smoke and blood burning in my nose. The twins. My first dan only thought. Panic consumed me, terrorized by all the terrible scenarios playing out in my mind. 

“My Moon Goddess, please help me,” I sobbed. 

The walls of the Bloodmoon Pack shook, growls and the clash of metal echoing from outside. I searched desperately, back and forth, but couldn’t find them. Tears streamed down my face. 

“Mama!!” 

I jolted at the terrified cry of Anna amidst the chaos, my blood running cold. I stumbled barefoot into the hallway, my chest tightening as I forced myself toward the sound. 

“Alice! Anna!” I screamed, my voice cracking. 

The corridors were filled with terrified pack members; some carrying children, others bleeding and wounded. Mikael’s voice cut through the noise in the distance, shouting orders, already taking charge in Jayden’s absence. Warriors rushed past me, shifting into their wolf forms as they prepared to fight. 

At last, I found my children. They were in Luna Karina’s embrace, clinging to her chest. The twins sobbed, clutching her like their final lifeline. 

“Rosalyn!” Karina called out, relief clear in her eyes. “Come, to the bunker. Now!” 

I ran, cradling my stomach, the world blurring around me, and soon knelt before them. My focus was solely on my children. 

“Oh God, I’m so glad you’re safe!” I cried out, panicked. 

“I’m scared, Mama!” Alice wept, reaching for me. 

I gathered them both into my arms and hugged them tightly. I kissed the tops of their heads one by one, desperately seeking the warmth of their little bodies. It’s real, they were alive. 

“I’m here, darling, I’m here,” I repeated over and over. 

“The bad people are coming, Mama!” Anna sobbed along with Alice. “Please don’t go!” 

“I won’t, my love,” I lied, brushing their hair back and kissing their tear–streaked cheeks. “You’ll be safe with Luna and me. She’ll protect you in the bunker too.” 

“Mama, you have to promise!” Alice cried, refusing to let go. “Mama, I don’t want you to go!” 

“They’ll take you away!” Alice screamed hysterically. 

I swallowed hard, my heart breaking at the sight of the twins like this. I couldn’t just stay still. I had to help Mikael. We were clearly outnumbered. Losing him would be the end of me. I couldn’t bear to lose him. And then, suddenly, I heard the frightened voice of a child from a distance. 

“S–someone! Please, help me!” 

I froze, my skin prickling. It instantly awakened the mother wolf instinct within me. A child, alone, somewhere out there. The orcs would take them alive and that was the last thing anyone would ever wish for. I looked around, searching for any reinforcements. But it was only a group of women and children. 

Karina, realizing my intention, shot me a sharp look. 

“Rosalyn. Don’t you dare!” 

“I have to,” I said, my voice trembling. “There’s a child out there. God knows how terrified they must be!” 

Karina gripped my arm. “Rosalyn, don’t! You’re pregnant! I can do this. You stay here!” 

“I’ll come back. I have to help Mikael too, Karina.” I forced my children away from me, handing them to Karina. “Listen to Luna, stay together. I promise I’ll come back to you. I love you.” 

The twins screamed, tears streaming down their faces as I pulled away. It shattered me. But I had no choice. 

I ran toward the voice, following the cracked path leading to a small house on the edge of the territory. I relied on my 

senses, sniffing out the child’s trail. My stomach turned as the scent of vampires and orcs filled the air. They had a large force. Alarms blared in my mind. 

Inside the house, a little girl no older than four crouched under a table, crying. 

“Oh sweetheart, it’s alright. I’ve come to save you.”

I breathed, dropping down in front of her and gently coaxing her out. I glanced around, searching for any sign of her family. But there was no one. I silently prayed for the safety of this child’s loved ones. 

“Come with me, little one,” I whispered. 

At last, the little girl reached out and clung to me. We were just about to leave when I caught the scent and presence of those vile creatures. The ground trembled beneath my feet, and horrifying, heavy voices echoed around us. 

“Find the remaining wolves!” 

“Take and hold them in hostage!” 

I paled at those commands. Instinctively, I protectively wrapped my arms around the small, trembling body I had just rescued. We turned to find an escape route but we were too late. Three massive orcs stood there, blocking the area around the house. They snarled, their jagged teeth bared, crude weapons dripping with blood. Their eyes locked onto me and the child behind me. 

I felt my stomach tighten, my hand reaching for the nearest sharp object within my grasp, fury surging inside me. I bit the inside of my cheek, feeling a painful warning pulse grip my core. Oh god! 

I straightened my shoulders, placing myself firmly between the monsters and the child. 

“Stay back!” 

I wouldn’t let them take her. My hands trembled, claws beginning to extend from my fingertips. I could fight. I was strong enough to handle these three bastards in front of me. 

“Stay behind me,” I whispered to the little girl. 

I prepared to shift, bracing myself as one of the orcs grinned, his fangs gleaming. 

Suddenly Mikael appeared. He was there in a flash, a blur of movement. His dagger slashed the throat of the nearest orc, sending the beast collapsing in a heap. The others barely had time to react before Mikael lunged again, his fury radiating like fire. 

“Get to the bunker!” he barked. 

“Mikael? Thank the goddess you’re safe!” 

My words caught in my throat as a contraction suddenly gripped my stomach. My breath hitched, cold sweat pouring down my pale face. Mikael’s expression shifted into panic. 

“I’m fine. It’s nothing, just a little pain.” 

“You’re not fine! Don’t lie to me!” 

Mikael took my hand while taking over caring for the child. He carried the little girl in his arms, guiding us back toward the bunker. I barely remembered how we made it back – fear had completely overtaken me. 

We descended into the bunker, moving through narrow tunnels, past bloodied warriors and terrified pack members. Karina was there, holding my twins. 

“Alice, it’s our mommy!!” 

“And dad too!” 

They both immediately threw themselves at me. I dropped to my knees, gathering them into my arms. 

“I’m here, my loves. I told you I’d come back.” 

Mikael knelt too, brushing the sweat–soaked hair away from my face. 

“Rosalyn, you were in pain back there, weren’t you? Let’s have them check.” 

“Mikael, it was just a small contraction. Don’t worry.” 

But Mikael didn’t believe me for a second. He moved closer, checking me over while I tried to dodge him. I was sure it was just false labor, like the other days. I had marked down the healer’s predictions. I knew when the baby was due. 

The twins sobbed against my chest. 

“I want Alpha Jayde! He’ll make them go away!” cried Anna. 

“Alpha is out there fighting to keep us safe,” Mikael said gently. “He’ll be back soon.” 

“We have to be brave, alright?” I whispered, kissing their heads. “Like the brave little wolves you are.” 

But the words had barely left my lips before another powerful contraction struck me, stealing the breath from my lungs. I gasped, clutching my stomach. Mikael caught me immediately. 

“L–Love?” 

The pain was blinding, and I felt myself slipping, desperately trying to grab onto something. Thankfully, Mikael and Karina caught me before I collapsed completely.

“No! Not now,” I gasped through gritted teeth. “The baby! Their is coming.” 

“Get the healer!” Mikael shouted. 

One of the healers was finally found within the wide bunker. She shouted, calling for anyone to fetch the birthing supplies Karina quickly stepped up, preparing a space for me to give birth. 

“Then get the supplies! Towels, water. Now!” 

The bunker was filled with panicked movement. 

I clung to Mikael’s arm as the next wave of pain struck, harder and sharper. I looked into the frightened eyes of my children, forcing a smile through the agony. 

“Mama’s strong, sweetheart. Wipe away those tears,” I coaxed gently. 

No matter what happened this baby had to survive. I wanted this child to live. And if fate allowed, I wanted to live too. I couldn’t leave Mikael and my children behind. I loved this beautiful new life the gods had granted me so much. Mikael’s voice echoed in the distance, calling out words of encouragement, grounding me. 

Gods, please hear my prayer. Let me stay happy here. 

“Granted.”
