A Life

KIARA Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

The following day , things didn’t turn out a s expected . Liam told Dad he wanted to leave for his Alpha training immediately . I knew Mom and Dad knew something had happened , but they didn’t know what .. Raven came to see baby Azura but like always she was all smiles and energy .

She was in pain , I could sense her emotions that she was trying so hard to hide but she still acted so cheery , waving a very cute yet ugly octopus teddy she had brought for Azura . I too couldn’t stay any longer either , although I wanted to be here for Raven , I felt unsettled and the urge to go to Alejandro was at breaking point .

So the plan was made , Liam will drop me off and then head on to meet up with Rayhan who was leaving for his training soon too . Liam would stay at The Black Storm Pack for a week or so before both continued to their first location for their training together .

I was dressed in Alejandro’s shirt and leggings , my hair up in a ponytail and a pair of sneakers on my feet . Liam was just taking his bags to the car . We hadn’t spoken about it again , but it was clear he was running away .

I was standing by the window inside Dad and Mom’s house watching him , my hand caressing my stomach . ” Are you really not going to tell me what happened ? ” Mom asked from where she lay on the sofa with the baby .

” It isn’t my place to , ” I said quietly . There was no point in lying to her that I didn’t know when she knew I did . She sighed . ” I know … He needs to figure it out . I have a few ideas about what it could

be , but I’m not sure . ” She murmured . ” Hmm .

” I said not wanting to ask her what , just in case she was close to the truth and my heartbeat gave it away , but she decided to share anyway . ” One , Raven didn’t turn out to be his mate . Two , he’s mated to a handsome boy ! I swear it could be Angela’s story all over again .

” Mom said with a smirk . I looked at her , sometimes I felt I was older than her . Well , her assumptions were wrong … ” Who knows . ” I said , turning back to the window just as Liam slammed his trunk shut . ” You know . ” Mom remarked . My heart skipped a beat as none other than Damon walked over to him .

I watched him trying to stop Liam from walking away , who clearly didn’t want to talk to him . ” Kiara , what is it ? ” Mom asked me sharply . I shook my head . ” Nothing .

” I said quietly watching the boys . It was clear Damon was trying to talk to Liam , who refused to even listen . He was shaking his head before he suddenly punched Damon straight across the jaw , making me gasp . Damon shoved him back into the car and I stepped back ready to rush outside when Damon walked off .

” Kiara .

” Liam’s ready to leave Mom … I should go 11 *** Mom put Azura down and came over to m e . Without her red lipstick and makeup , she looked so much younger and dare I say it , gentler . I smiled at her when she wrapped her arms around me .

” I will come to you a week before your due date . ” She said kissing my forehead . I had to bend down a little for her to reach me . ” Thank you , Mom . ” I whispered , I didn’t have long left . It was finally time to go home .

The journey had been ok apart from two stops thanks to me needing the toilet and this baby kicking me like there’s no tomorrow . Liam hadn’t spoken much , but he had also been really patient with me .

I felt restless the closer we got to home and my stomach was twisting . Something just wasn’t right . The warriors who had accompanied me were following in two cars . I had no idea why I felt so uneasy .

. We had just entered pack grounds ; the welcome home , Luna ‘ came from many of my pack members through the link . This truly was home … I just wish I had Alejandro with me . ” You should stay for a bit . ” I said to Liam . I could feel his troubled state .

” No thanks , but take care of yourself . ” He said as he helped take my bags inside before giving me a tight hug . ” Can’t wait t o meet my little nephew either . ” 18 ” I will … you too . ” I said quietly . I rested my head on his chest wishing that he found his happily ever after .

” Things will be ok , Kia . ” He said softly . I nodded before he got back in the car and drove off . I hurried inside and up the stairs , his faint smell mixed with several others hitting me as I inhaled it deeply , wanting to get to him quickly .

My heart was racing as I rushed down the hall . ” Kiara ! ” Darien said suddenly appearing i n front of me , I gasped , jumping back and I may have fallen if he hadn’t caught me .

” What are you doing ?! ” I scolded , my heart thudding . ” Sorry … Can we- ” ” What happened ? ” I asked , sensing his panic and fear . ” Nothing … His vitals just dropped a little . ” ” And you didn’t tell me !

” I shouted , my heart squeezing as I pushed past him and into the bedroom . Serena , Doctor Callum and two nurses were rushing around Alejandro . A little ? I could sense the anxiety and fear rolling off every single person in this room . ” … ready , just in case .

Oxygen levels dropping to 78 … heart rate – Luna … ” Callum looked pale . My eyes blazed in pure rage . How dare they not tell me ! I rushed to the bed , placing my hands on Alejandro’s chest and poured my healing into him . Callum looked at the machine . ” It’s not picking up .

” Why did no one tell me ?! ” I shouted , I felt sick . ” It only happens ten minutes ago Luna and when we heard you were on your way back , we knew you’d be here soon , rather than panic you on the way . I was coming t o get you . ” Darien replied tight – lipped .

I could feel his worry despite how composed and calm he was trying to act . I couldn’t even focus on anything , my hands splayed on Alejandro’s chest . Pouring everything I had into him . ” What changed ?! ” I cried in frustration ; his heartbeat was dipping .

” I don’t know . ” Callum said . ” The only thing I can think of is you not being here b y his side . ” It felt as if my own heart had stopped beating . My visit away cost him . No ! No ! ” Luna move back , we’re going to use the defibrillator . ” Callum said .

” He can’t die . ” I said , ” He can’t ! ” I looked at his face , his beard as groomed a s always . I had washed him and taken care of him for the last four months and he truly looked like he was just asleep . Praying that he’ll wake up soon , this can’t be happening .

‘ Please baby , wake up ! ‘ I cried through the link as I moved towards his head , letting Doctor Callum do what he needed t o . I didn’t stop healing him , I couldn’t let him go . Wasn’t this my ability ? To heal ? Tears streamed down my cheeks and I felt as if I couldn’t breathe ..

Sharp pains wrapped around my stomach , dragging me from my thoughts , another strong cramping pain hit me and I gasped in pain .

Not now , baby , not now … I whimpered , feeling him kick . It was then I realised the pain I had just felt seconds earlier was not from his kicking … I bit my lip when another wave hit me and I realised it was contractions . ” One two … three ! Again !

” Doctor Callum shouted as Alejandro’s body jolted up from the bed as he used the defibrillator . ” Kia are you ok ?! ” Serena asked . ” I’m fine ! ” I whimpered , ignoring the agonising pain in my abdomen . I wasn’t ok . How could I be ? When my mate was dying ! I was trying to heal him , but nothing was happening ! The pain in m y chest and stomach was only growing .

Listening to Alejandro’s heart rate drop then beat weakly , then the most terrifying thing I had ever experienced happened .. His heart didn’t beat . M A long beep rang in the room and I felt something wrench in my chest , the pain was even more than my contractions .

I didn’t even realise when I cried out , falling to my knees . I couldn’t breathe … This pain … I felt as if something was being clawed from me . I screamed out in agony and then I felt a sudden emptiness .. ” Luna ! ” ” Again ! ” Callum shouted , but it was useless .

His heart didn’t beat again . Y ” He’s gone . ” Darien whispered , stepping back . No … No ! I gasped as I clutched my stomach , staggering to my feet . No … He can’t go , he can’t leave me . ” He can’t . ” I whispered to no one in specific , my aura flaring up as I grabbed onto my king’s hand .

” Alejandro no ! Wake up !

” Ignoring the pain that tore through me , I put everything into my healing , Tears streamed down my face as my wolf whimpered in pain . You cannot leave me ! ” Luna … Stop … You’re going to wear yourself out ! ” Callum pleaded . But no one was able to get close to me .

My burning aura filled the room and everyone was pushed away . ” You promised to be here ! ” I cried out . I had hope ! Hope he’d wake up someday but how could he do this ! ” Wake up ! ” I screamed , ” Damn it ! Heal ! ” My body tensed , another round of contractions rushed through me .

” She’s in labour ! ” Serena cried . I felt a gush and knew my waters had broken as well , but I couldn’t focus on anything but him . How could it be the day his son was to come into this world he would leave ? My vision darkened and I realised I had exhausted everything I had . I didn’t realise when Darien

lifted me up , I only felt Alejandro’s hand slip from my grasp . No … I can’t leave him …. I turned my head , my gaze taking in the man that lay on the bed .

A king … My king . I need you … I opened my eyes gasping as I jolted upright , a dull pain in my lower stomach . ” Alejandro ! ” ” Luna … ” Callum said , his eyes shadowed . ” We’re sorry , but there was nothing we could do . ” It was dark outside .

How long was I out ?! I closed my eyes , tears streamed down my cheeks as I sobbed in agony . Please don’t say that . ” We tried for thirty minutes , but there was nothing we could do . ” He whispered . ” I left him … this is because I left him . ” I sobbed , clutching my chest .

It hurt , yet it also felt empty , like most of me was gone … and it had . Alejandro … I grasped my belly when I suddenly realised , I no longer had a large bump . ” My baby ! ” ” He’s a healthy boy … ” Callum said smiling gently . ” Relax my queen , we had t o do a C – section . ” ” Where is he ?!

” I asked , panicked . I didn’t even wait for an answer as I pushed the blanket off and rushed to the baby crib that stood beside the bed , but it was empty . ” Where is he ?! ” ” Calm down , Luna , the nurse has gone to clean him up . There’s something we need t IF o tell you ” I want my baby !

” I screamed . Everything was unravelling , I felt as if the walls were enclosing in on me . I couldn’t lose them both .

No , how could I lose Alejandro ?! ” Luna … calm down . ” Callum said just as a nurse rushed back in . He had probably mind – linked her to return . I rushed over , taking the bundle from her as I looked down at my baby .

My breath hitched as I felt his warmth in my arms , I fought back the tears as I gazed at my beautiful baby boy . He had a head full of black hair , juicy cheeks and when he opened his eyes and looked at me … I gasped . Looking back at me was not just an ordinary pair of eyes , but eyes that were bright

red . What made my stomach twist with nerves was the slight dark glow that emitted from them . A softer version of Alejandro’s Lycan eyes .

” Yes … that’s what we want to tell you . His eyes seem unique . ” Unique . My heart thumped as I felt the power that rolled off the child in my arms . ” He’s powerful . ” I whispered , in awe and worry .

I held my baby close , inhaling his soft scent , feeling all life leave me as I staggered to the bed . The nurse and Callum rushed to assist me . ” Skin to skin will help you both . ” The nurse murmured , helping me slip my gown open and put my little boy inside before she adjusted my pillows for me . ” He was three weeks early , but he weighs 9 pounds and 6 oz . ” Callum said . I couldn’t respond ,

I felt suddenly numb . This was supposed to be one of the best days of my life … But it was the saddest day at the same time … I couldn’t believe h e was gone , it didn’t feel real . It hurt that instead of crying in happiness to meet my little prince I was crying for the loss of his father .

A father he’d never get to see . I sobbed as I rested back , looking down at him . Alejandro … I saw him , in our pup . He would have been so proud , he had wanted a baby boy . ” Alejandro . ” I whispered . The pain in my chest was unbearable .

” Luna , you can go to him soon . We won’t move him until you tell us to . ” Callum said gently , sadness in his own eyes . Move him ? Meaning to bury him ? I began crying as I hugged my baby tightly . ” Is he really gone ? ” I whispered . ” I’m afraid so Luna .

” DARIEN

I closed my eyes as I listened to Kiara’s gut -wrenching sobs as she hugged her child , turning away from the small window in the door . We had all felt our Alpha pass . Seeing Kiara’s agony , her pain and her effort to revive him … it broke me .

We had no idea what had changed , he was fine this morning . I took a deep breath , fighting back my own tears . Right now , I was in charge . Do we tell Rafael that his brother had passed away ? So far , only those in our pack knew , but it was too soon to tell anyone else .

The entire pack was restless . Although I had broken the news that our future king had been born , we were still mourning the loss of our previous king . This day would b e the saddest for this pack … I was in awe when I had seen the child .

His glowing red eyes , the power I could already sense in him , a child that would b e equally feared and respected . Something told me he would be far stronger than his father even .

This should have been a day of excitement , a day of happiness … But it wasn’t . Seeing Kiara , a young girl who was only eighteen , lose her mate …. She had been so strong , so positive that he would wake up .

I made my way back to the mansion , the setting sun casting long shadows on the floor . Why Selene … ? Why did you do this ? I pushed open the door and walked up the stairs with a heavy heart . Why did we have to lose our strength ?

The one who was the shield for us all . We needed him . Kiara needed him ; his son needed him . Why didn’t he get a chance at his happy ending ? I pushed open the door to the bedroom , taking a deep breath , bracing myself to look at the body of my best friend .

Someone I still could not believe was gone I looked up slowly and my breath hitched . My heart thudded as I stared at the room before me , the setting sun cast warm light through the room , illuminating the bed . The bed that we had left Alejandro in . A bed that was now empty .
