Captain Randall and Beta Samuel waited for the Alpha to come out from the secluded area.
After a while, Alpha comes out, unhappy that he is being separated even for a moment from his pregnant wife, who needs his presence at that moment.
Beta Samuel hands over the official letter, and the Alpha opens it so he can read the contents of the message.
Captain Randall watches the Alpha reading the content of the letters with so much focus. As soon as the Alpha finishes reading the letter, he burnt it by the fire of the torch which Beta Samuel holding.
Captain Randall was more surprised that the Alpha set the official letter on fire than the mere fact that the Beta Samuel never attempted to open the message himself.
Showing how much respect and etiquette he is showing just like how they do in the Palace towards the Alpha King Viktor. He also realizes how careful the Alpha is in terms of any information he receives and making sure no one knows what information being relayed upon between two prominent Alphas.
"Captain Randall, I am Alpha Berrick of Silver Aurora Pack. It looks like King Viktor knows exactly what is going on with us here due to the help of the Grand White Witch and the Grand Seer."
"Looks like it, Sir! And we have to start planning the transport of your Luna and your baby. We can assure you that King Viktor will protect your family, Sir!"
"Well then, start planning with Samuel here. I never changed my Beta because there was nobody that could beat him in strength and smarts. We have a different tradition here, and the Beta can only be replaced through defeat or by death."
Captain Randall was surprised by the kind of tradition that the pack of Silver Aurora holds.
So as the Beta Samuel ushered him to the side and sat, they started planning for the transport after labor, he sees a young boy of 8 goes and hugs the waist of the Alpha.
He can hear Beta Samuel talking while his vision can see how the Alpha holds the boy dearly and carries him back to the side where the foam is placed covered with clean sheets with a blanket and pillow.
"Daddy! I had a nightmare. Who is that guy? Why are we here? Why are we not in the Hospital if Mommy is about to welcome my little sister?"
"My little Alpha has too many questions. Hmm .."
The little son of the Alpha giggles as his father calls him little Alpha. The Alpha tucked his young son on the side and told him to behave. One by one answered his son's questions, but he heard his mate scream for his name.
"BEEERRIIIIICCCCKKK!!! aahhh!!!! Where are yoouuu ??!!!"
As the 'Luna' screams, the Lady Doctor of the pack looked for the Alpha and informed him that it is about time for the Luna's Labor. The Alpha signaled for the Delta hiding in the shadows to look after his son.
Every person who is present seemed to be alarmed by the screams of the Luna. Alpha Berrick enters the Wide Sheet of Cloth, covering the secluded area where the Luna is currently in labor.
"Looks like it will be a long night!" as Captain Randall informs Beta Samuel, he looked around to make sure that the premises are secured just in case of any surprise attacks.
At the same time, beyond the wide Sheet of cloth covering the secluded area, The Alpha is holding his beloved mate's hand. Reassuring her of his presence and letting her know that he is not going anywhere.
"Oh my love, Sylvanna! I'm here !!! Just holds on to me!! You can do this!!"
Alpha Berrick tries to comfort his mate, who is about to give labor. Both of them sincerely wish for their family and pack to go through this bloody night safely.
The prophecy foretold that the birth of a she-wolf under a bloody moon with a mark of a crescent moon at her back will usher the new era of the reigns over the Supernatural.
The Luna cries beside her Alpha mate, who is kissing her hand and holding it tightly. She desperately prays deep inside to her creator for help and protection.
A phenomenal occurrence of the transformation of the moon into a bloody moon, and the birth of the next Chosen One, according to the prophecy, is about to take place.
Under the Blood moon, a cry of a newly born she-wolf can be heard within the hidden ward.
Tears of joy covered the face of the Luna, and cheers from her Alpha mate fuels her tears of joy.
Those who are around witnessed the couple hold their newborn daughter. The doctor ordered the nurses to clean up the bloody mess around the area. She approached the couple and informed them about Luna's vulnerability since she is weakened tremendously due to her giving birth.
While the Luna held her baby, Alpha Berrick noticed the crescent moon mark at the back of their baby, and immediately he requested the Doctor and her team vacate the premises.
"Sarah! It is time!" Alpha Berrick called their resident witch who was just hiding in her invisible cloak.
The moment that the witch revealed herself, she whispered an incantation to her necklace, and an invisible bubble covered the Alpha, Luna, and herself.
"We only have a small window of time to do this, Alpha. The people outside will not hear us as we speak. The bubble that I casted will project an illusion and allow us to do as you planned without being noticed."
Alpha Berrick looked at his pale wife and newborn child "I know you are nervous my love, but we have to do this quick so we can assure our daughter's protection from the dark forces. We have to hide her mark from the public's eyes ".
"But . . . will it be safe for the baby to be exposed to such a powerful spell? "
"Luna, you do not have to worry - it is just a protection spell to delude others' eyes that might see her mark. Only the eyes of someone who is destined to protect her can see it. While this spell will hide her mark, it will only be hidden from the people that may harm her and intends her no good."
She then begins her short incantation for the protection spell for the beautiful newborn.
"Our daughter is as beautiful as you, my love!"
"She has your eyes, my Alpha!"
"We will protect her, my love! We will make sure the darkness will not take her."
"Berrick, let's name her Selene."
"Yes, her smile just shines brightly and definitely will give light to anyone who is in the dark"
While their witch friend finishes her spell, the Alpha and Luna take a beautiful moment to thank their divine creator for such a blessing. Their witch friend can only smile and witness the beautiful moment between the Alpha and Luna.
Just as they thought everything was peaceful, a loud explosion echoed from outside, confirming the fear of the Alpha and Luna.
"Delta Joaquin! Assist Captain Randall in transporting my son and daughter to the Castle of the Alpha King."
Their witch friend started to chant a spell while touching the blood and the water covered with the Luna and the baby's blood. She used it to cast a dummy spell. A fake baby that looked like their own now in her hands, and she covered it with a clean cloth.
"Alpha Berrick! This spell will last a good hour."
"Good! As we planned, Beta Samuel carry this dummy and go to the west and take ALL our best warriors with you. We can use this to deceive the enemies. Do your best, and.... thank you for your services and loyalty!!"
"Alpha! Leave this to me. It was an honor to serve you as your Beta! " Captain Randall linked his fellow warriors and ordered them to protect the Beta.
"I already told my fellow elite warriors to protect you and help you. They are strong warriors, and they will be able to assist you!"
The Beta thanked Captain Randall for help.
"Captain Randall, I have to give you this responsibility to escort my son and daughter to the Alpha King. My Delta will assist you."
"What? Are you not coming with us?"
"I cannot leave my Luna alone. I have to help her escape. We will only hinder your quick escape. And they will think the baby will be with us. So, as you can see with my Luna's condition, we will only slow you down, and we prefer our children to be safe."
Their friend witch transformed to look like the Alpha's young son.
Captain Randall understood immediately that the Alpha and Luna has already thought about this scenario and prepared themselves for the worst-case scenario and preferred for their children to be safe than their own. He realized the length that the Alpha and Luna would do for the sake of their children.
Before Captain Randall escaped to the other exit, the Alpha and the Luna bid their farewell to their baby and their young, eight-year-old son.
"Mommy! Are you not coming with us?"
"I cannot, my handsome boy! Mommy still needs to recover. You see, Mommy is still weak! I cannot move much because Mommy needs more time and strength so I can be with you. But, always remember, darling, Mommy and Daddy will always love you, okay?" The Luna said, emphasizing the -always-.
"Yes, Mommy!"
"So, give mommy a BIIIG kiss and a BIIG Hug."
The little boy gives his mother a big hug and kiss—his mother cries, wishing only for her children's safety.
"Mommy! Please get well quickly - I cannot wait to taste your pancakes again."
Luna Sylvanna breaks a smile and little laugh, which she cannot contain. Their little son was so adorable, even during these chaotic times.
"Mommy will. So be good boy, okay?"
"Yes, Mommy! I will be!" said the young boy innocently smiling.
The Alpha can see his loving mate was having a difficult time saying goodbye to their young son. So he decided to pick up their son to his arms and make him sit on his lap to bid his own farewell to him.
"So, our little Alpha in the making, will you promise me something?"
The young boy giggles again with the mention of him being a little Alpha in the making. The Alpha looks at their young son as he tries to make him promise.
"What is it, daddy? Anything, I will do for you!"
"Remember, son! Once you make a promise, you cannot ever break it! That's the way of a true Alpha . . ."
"Of course! A TRUE ALPHA never breaks his promise, and I AM A TRUE ALPHA, hehe!"
"Good! Then, will you promise me, as the NEXT ALPHA, do you promise to protect your baby sister? No matter what happens? Do you promise to protect her from any harm that may come in her way? Hmmm?"
"I promise! I will look after her and protect her as the next Alpha, and as her older brother," he places his hand by his chest to honor his promise to his Alpha father.
"Do you promise to be strong and protect the weak?"
"I promise to be strong and protect the weak!"
"Lastly, do you promise always to love and never hurt your future mate?"
The young boy suddenly wondered and got confused by the last request, "huh? What is mate, daddy? How will I love someone I do not know? How can I hurt someone I have not met?"
"One day! Oh my little Alpha, you will find out what it means and who will it be . . . But do you Promise that you will always love and never hurt your future mate?"
"Umm . . . . . . Even I do not know what you mean, daddy, I promise!"
"GREAT!!!! Now Lucas, will you give daddy a big kiss and big hug?"
The little boy throws a big, big hug and kisses his father. Then, the Alpha puts him to his feet and guides him to Captain Randall's hand.
"Captain, I will owe you my life for doing this big favor. Please protect and look after my children. Lucas and Selene are our only treasure in this world. Tell the Alpha King that we are forever indebted to him."
"Do not worry Alpha! I would lay down my life for their safety and make sure that nothing happens to them. I hope you can catch up to us as soon as you get the chance."
"I hope so too, Captain."
Then, the Alpha hugs his young son again, thinking that he may not have this opportunity to hold his young Alpha in his hands again. As he hugs him tightly, another explosion can be heard from outside.
The ground shakes from its impact, then another explosion shakes the ground once again, making everyone more nervous.
"My little Alpha, keep close to Captain Randall, and do not forget your promise, okay?"
"Yes, Daddy!" The young boy reassures his Alpha father.
On his other hand, Captain Randall takes the baby and holds the hand of the young son of the Alpha. While they make their way, the witch handed over her magical cloak to Captain Randall.
"Captain Randall, once the enemy appears, and when you try to make a run for it, use this because it will be beneficial. It will hide anybody under it, just chant 'F O L A I G H' ! Then, you will be hidden from your pursuers." reminder by the witch to Captain Randall. "This will be helpful!"
The Delta paves the way and makes sure that the coast is clear for the captain to move forward. They used the other exit by the Waterfalls.
The Alpha pulls a switch for the passage to be blocked, and no one could go after the Captain with their children.
So he destroyed the switch so no one can attempt to open it again.
Then Alpha Berrick returned to his weakened mate, Luna Sylvanna.
