It's been about three moths after Nora's first heat and yes, she is now pregnant. Nora hid her morning sickness and her pregnancy from Aiden because she thought maybe it's just a prank from her own body because it does happen, but now she's getting back from a doctor. The she wolf is really happy but something is strange and it's worrying her. Her gut feeling never lies and that makes her even more worried.
Nora called her dad to get Aiden to his house. Of course he did that. Soon Nora was in front of her dad's house. With a bit of hesitation she went it. Nora was extremely nervous. When Aiden saw that it's Nora he immediately ran to hug her really tight. The female smiled at his cute behavior. It's adorable when the big scary alpha is all cute infront of her. Is he really an alpha when he looks so adorable? Dad spoke:
- So, Nora, what happened? Why did you ask Aiden to come here?
- So I hid something for quite some time.
- What is it love?
- I'm pregnant,- Aiden stood there schocked but then soon tears started to leave his eyes and Nora was met with the warmest and the most loving embrace in the world.
- You can't imagine how happy I am, love!!! I have zero words!
- But there is something more to it,- Aiden let Nora go confused.
- Because of that I needed you dad to be here. I'm pregnant with twins,- Aiden's eyes sparkled even more but Nora's dad's eyes showed terror. Aiden then saw her father face and asked not liking the look on his face:
- What's the problem, dad?
- This is not good...
- And why is that?
- It's because of the curse. You see, for the exchange of power we not only sacrifice our second chance mate but children too. Because of the curse we can only have one child. Yes there were born some twins but one of them died immediately or at really young age. And with that there is no second pregnancy.
- So you are saying that one of my children is going to die!?!?
- Sadly, but that's probably what will happen,- Aiden ran out of the house, slamming the door. Nora on the other hand fell on your knees crying.
- I knew that it's too good to be true that I will have two children.
- I'm sorry Nora... I wish I could break the curse but I don't know how...
- It's okay dad. We are protectors of our pack. We have to pay with something for this power, even then the cost is so huge,- with that Nora too left the house.
She wolf didn't go home. She went to her mother's grave and started to cry yet again:
- Why mom? Why it has to be my child? I don't wish for anyone to be in my situation but it's just too cruel. I don't know how I will live with this pain... I know it's the cost of the power, but shouldn't we be less punished for our job. It's like doing your job perfectly but your boss hates it. But mom, I will fight for my child. I won't give up on him or her. I will find a way to save my child,- at the time Aiden was just few trees away from Nora and heard all of it. Alpha felt guilty for storming out from the house and leaving his mate all alone. He came to her and said:
- I'm still such a selfish brat. I can't imagine what is it like to lose a child when you are a father but when you are the mother it's ten more times worse. I'm sorry, love. I shouldn't have just left you like this. Let's fight for our children together,- Nora hugged Aiden tightly:
- You aren't selfish, it was hard to hear this for both of us,- he kissed her forehead:
- I love you, love. And never forget that.
- I love you too, Aiden. And you don't even dare to forget that too.
