I couldn’t hide the joy I felt in knowing that Lyra was now a mother. I just hoped this would be a sign that Lyra had to become a better person for
her child.
She was now a mother after all,
I spoke too early.
“A girl?” I looked at Lyra whose face had molded into horror. “Give it to me!”
Lyra grabbed the baby from my arms and looked at it in disgust.
-What is it?” I asked. “What is wrong with her being a girl?”
“I can’t give birth to a girl I need a strong Alpha,” she said with a snap.
1 suddenly understood what Lyra was getting at. Before I could say another word, another contraction hit me
It was as if I had already forgotten that I was in labor. It took me by surprise. My knees went weak, and I crashed to the floor beside Lyra.
She eyed me. “What is it?”
“My baby. It’s coming” I said softly.
Lyra rolled her eyes at me. She suddenly smiled and carelessly placed her baby on the other side.
1 growled again in pain.
The
contractions Were coming faster and bigger now. I couldn’t even look at Lyra to check what she was doing and why she wasn’t helping me. Next thing. I felt cold steel against my neck.
“This is so rary. You made everything way too easy for me. Lyra chuckled as she held a knife to my neck.

How could Lyra be so cruel. I wouldn’t allow her kill my child. I was more worried about my pup than I was about myself.

-Think of your baby. It needs a mother. Just like mine does” I said softly
She laughed like a maniac. “What baby. You must be delusional. I will throw that trash away into a pit somewhere.” She said.
My eyes widened. “That’s horrible”
She tightened her hand on my neck and I grabbed her arm in a struggle. Then she released it a little. I gasped,
“The only horrible thing is that you will never get to see your own child” She smirked.
With that. Lyra raised the knife to my neck and placed it against my skin. At that moment, another contraction hit and I felt my baby begin to slip
out of me.
I suddenly growled in pain when I felt warm blood trickle down my neck as Lyra sliced through my skin. “Goodbye Eden her hold on my neck loosened
In anger, I threw her off. Lyra lost balance and fell to the side. The knife fell out of her hand and in that same moment, I saw a hybrid wolf jump out and pounced on Lyra.
In an instant, the wolf ripped off Lyra’s head brutally and blood gushed out in a pool.

Just as I thought I would go crazy from the tension, I heard the baby’s cry ring out. Lyra’s baby responded, and it was like a chorus.
I heaved a deep breath of relief, and Beauty turned to me with a smile
“It’s a boy,” she giggled.
