"Ariana baby I am back, it's time to have fun" Tyler came back by midnight as planned earlier, thinking his favorite was in bed already waiting for him.
"Ariana…" He called out again but no response.
He looked around the room but there was no sign of her, this made him howl loudly that all his pack gathered so he walked up to the guard he placed to watch over her. So he asked,
"Where is Ariana?"
"Master, she never left her room. So I... I...”
"You what?" He held onto his collar
"I never saw her leave the room master" he struggled to speak
Alpha Tyler broke his neck and yelled, "Everyone finds her and bring her back to me unharmed"
Axel came up to him and stood by him, he knew better than to talk to him at that moment unless spoken to.
"Axel, I am attached to her, I can't lose her. Why... Why did she have to leave? I thought we had something going on between us. How could she do this?"
"Tyler calms down, she'll be found. She couldn't have gone far."
"Calm down you say? I cannot rest until she is found and brought here to me" Tyler yelled and Axel left hurriedly and went in search of her.
Tyler broke lots of things in his room and yelled to a guard
"Go get me those sluts miss C and her useless companion, bring them both here this instance" he roared
In less than 20 minutes they were both dragged in.
"Both of you, on your knees."
They knelt and began pleading for their lives.
"Please master I beg you, I didn't do anything at all"
"Master, I know nothing of her whereabouts, I didn't do anything it's all Beretta. I only came into the room that she won't be servicing you tonight and that she should have fun but that was before you went inside her room. Other than that nothing else" Miss C said
"Shut up bitches" Tyler yelled and slashed Beretta to the ground.
"Now I graced you today because you have been with me for a long time Cassandra you better find her whereabouts or else you won't like the outcome." Alpha Tyler said and walked out of the room in anger.
~~~~~
In Liam's room, Clara was lying on the bed, and Liam sitting close to her like they'd done for months since Clara fell into a coma. Clara's hands slightly moved Liam always being observant and watching her noticed her hands moved he moved closer to her
"Clara please wake up I miss you I need you back in my life" and slowly Clara's eyes opened she tried adjusting her eyes to the lights although they weren't so bright she hasn't seen lights in a while and when under Xander's capture she was mostly kept in the dark seeing the person next to her she could hardly recognize him except when she looked into his eyes
"Liam?" Clara called surprised
"Clara you're awake," Liam said touching her forehead affectionately
"Liam, when was the last time you showered?" Clara asked
"I had to look after you Clara," he said looking longingly at her
"Liam, go take a bath, shave and then look like the man I married. Wait, how long have I been asleep?" Clara asked
"Six months" Liam answered
"Six months? I'm sorry Liam I should have been there for you all this month we lost the baby and you lost me too"
"No need to say that rest now, I'll go take a shower” Liam left Clara and took a shower, shaved, and then he looked like the Alpha he once was coming back he saw Clara struggling to get up
"Stay back and rest Clara you just woke up a while ago you need to rest"
"And that's exactly what I've been doing for the past six months," Clara said stubbornly
"Clara please don't be stubborn," Liam said
"I'm not being stubborn Liam for the record I'm fine okay" Clara retorted
"I'm sorry Clara," Liam said
"What for?"
"Everything it's all my fault forgive me, Clara, forgive me I couldn't protect you am so sorry"
"It's not your fault Liam I shouldn't have been so stubborn about going out that day," Clara said sobbing
"It's okay Clara," Liam said hugging her
"I lost the baby" Clara cried
"Shh it's okay Clara it's been six months you have to let go now okay I'm here for you" Clara could only nod at his words
"I love you Clara"
"I love you too Liam," Clara replied, still in his embrace.
After which he said
"The whole town has been in chaos since you were kidnapped and were in a coma. Now that you are awake, I better go tell everyone that their Luna is back"
"Before that, what about Jasmine? Has she given birth yet? What about Gabe, Eric, where is everyone?"
"Shhh calm down don't speak too much, I will call them all for you right now okay"
"Okay"
So Liam raced downstairs to check on his pregnant sister, they haven't seen each other in six whole months.
So he opened up and saw Gabe holding onto Jas with a broken heart and he said,
"Guys Clara is back she is awake and she is looking for everyone"
Gabe's eyes immediately lit up when Jasmine nodded that she wanted to go up and see her as well.
They all walked happily to Liam's room. Gabe and Jasmine both walked in and tears of happiness mixed with sadness welled up in their eyes.
Jas and Clara hugged slightly because of her bulgy stomach while Gabe hugged Clara so tightly saying
"I am sorry, I tried to find you, and I should have been there with you. Am so sorry Clara forgive me" Gabe said in tears
"It’s alright Gabe it's alright, I know you all did try to find me. I know you did your best to... It was Xander he... Kidnapped me and I lost, Gabe I lost my baby" Clara clung to him as if her life depended on it.
"Shh I couldn't protect my little niece or nephew am so so sorry to forgive me for failing you forgive me"
Just then Jasmine yelled in pain that Gabe ran up to her. She was in labor and it was a painful one. Clara was still too weak to stand up so he beckoned on Liam to help her out of the bed so that Jasmine could lay in their bed instead and give birth.
They ran and called the midwives and doctors so that Jasmine could be put to birth.
The whole room was almost filled with people. Marisa the fashion stylist wasn't going to miss this; she was part of the older woman in charge of helping her give birth.
"Please I need some silence. She is about to give birth. I need an absolutely quiet atmosphere. The only voice I want to listen to right now is Jasmine's and her baby." One of the midwives cautioned the crowd and everyone was silent. Not even a word was spoken.
Gabe held on to Jasmine's hands and whispered
"I love you, honey, I love you so much"
"I am scared Gabe what if we lose...."
"Shh shh we won't I promise, you can do this I know you can," Gabe said reassuringly while Clara tried to stand up but to no avail, her legs were weak very weak.
So Liam held on to her and she gave Jasmine a thumbs up. Muttering
"You can do this I am here"
Jasmine nodded and then the midwives yelled,
"Push"
She has no strength in her she needed all the strength a wolf could get
"Push come on push harder Jasmine, the baby needs you, so push harder"
Jasmine grunted so hard she couldn't take it, the strength she had was diminishing she didn't have it in her to do it, to keep pushing harder anymore. Memories of how she pushed hard the last two years and after everything she gave birth to a still child haunted her. It flooded her thoughts, so Gabe had to mind link her and call her back to himself because she was slowly fading away with no strength.
Everyone was anxious, no one knew what was going to happen. They don't know why all of these bad things keep happening in Shawn's family.
First, it was Jasmine Shawn, she got pregnant alright and it almost completed nine months, it was due time. She fought so hard to give birth but after all the pain she went through she finally gave birth but the baby had died. He stopped breathing even before it came out.
It threw everyone into chaos because they thought the bloodline of the Alpha will be retained through her.
Secondly, it was Clara Shawn their Luna who had a hard time conceiving a child after three whole years of waiting she finally did only to be kidnapped and tortured which resulted in her losing her baby, even before she saw him thus throwing her into a coma for 6 whole months.
And now Jasmine Shawn is finally pregnant but is about to lose her life and that of the baby through stress? No this cannot happen again, not this time.
And so Marisa yelled at the top of her lungs that it jolted Jasmine back to the reality that she was in labor and this will not be the end.
So holding onto her husband Gabe she pushed so hard that a midwife said,
"I can see its head now so please push... Push come on the baby is coming push harder once more"
Jasmine pushed until they brought it out and they hit its bum and he cried. Everyone present jumped in the excitement that the baby was alive. They were all about to leave when Marisa said,
"I can see another, there is another one coming out, it’s coming out it’s a twin so Jasmine my angel push push push..."
Hearing this brought Jasmine back from drifting off into sleep so it moved her to keep pushing, and so she pushed with all her might, she is not going to give in to death, it's her babies she would rather die than lose any. Even if she had no strength left in her she did all she could to bring them to life, the fact that her baby survived gave her the power she needed to push. So she pushed with all her might to bring her baby and it came out after twenty whole minutes then Marisa tapped on its bum and he cried even louder.
Everyone laughed out happily and they decided today was a day of celebration.
After she had given birth she slept off and she needed all the strength she could get.
Marisa took it upon herself to bathe the kids. They were so adorable. They both have colored mixture hairs of both their parents, a darkened blonde hair. But the only thing that would tell them both apart was their eyeballs.
The one who came out first had gray eyes while the last one had blueish pupils.
Every other person present went out to throw a party. After a long time of mourning, they made it their aim to have fun today. Gabe was the happiest father, husband, and friend on earth.
His wife had just been born, his friend Clara is back home safely and after 6 whole months of being in a coma she woke up. And the greatest of everything is he is a father, no longer going to be a father but now a father. This made him happy. He looked around but couldn't find Eric. Actually for months now they haven't seen nor talked to each other, he is sure that it was because of how everything was back here so rather than watch on without doing anything he left.
One thing he noticed about Eric was the fact that he is never happy if he can't help out his friends and family. Eric is a loyal person, he is sure of that.
Liam walked up to Gabe and congratulated him. He is his brother-in-law after all.
"Hey Gabe, congratulations. You are now a father I am glad for you and little sis later I have a surprise for you"
"Thanks, Liam, and am so sorry for your loss, and I am so sorry for your loss brother-in-law"
"Nah it's all good, we'll try again someday. Take care of Jasmine for us. It's time to celebrate your fatherhood and Clara's awakening."
"Thank you so much, brother"
"But of course um you better go hold your kids okay? They need you"
"See you later"
Back at the border, Eric walked up to Ariana's tent and called out to her for breakfast also to understand what she meant by being held captive he needed to know more about her. She is to be his fated mate after all.
"Ariana Ariana..." Eric called out to her
"I am here," Ariana answered.
"You will have to go wash up in the streams because we are at the border and it's far away from town and this place is mostly filled with guys. Can you handle that?"
"Yeah sure I can"
"Alright, when you are done washing up, here is a cloth you can change into mine though since you are a little tall hopefully the top would be better than the blanket you have on right now when you are through come into my tent we have a lot to talk about."
"Yeah sure," Eric left for his room to prepare breakfast of jam and bread.
An hour later, Ariana was done dressing and stood outside Eric's tent. Sensing someone's presence Eric said,
"Don't just stand here, Come in" Ariana walked in and sat down nervously.
"You can relax Ariana I won't bite, come on let's eat" and so they ate breakfast and drank juice after which Ariana said
"Thank you Eric for breakfast I appreciate"
"You are welcome" Eric then continued and said, "You said you were taken 4 years ago tell me about it"
"Okay actually, I was leaving my pack for a mission at Alpha Liam's pack. I was sent on a mission to watch over their child who was rumored to have gotten married to the Alpha here. So my duty was to take care of her from afar and make sure she wasn't hurt. But then I got intercepted on the road on my way here by Alpha Tyler's ruthless Beta. I fought the best way I could but to no avail he overpowered me and I was eventually caught. I was then taken to Alpha Tyler's territory. When I got there, I was thinking that in a month I will be out. But things don't always go the way one plans, a year passed, two, three, and four good years. I was held captive by Tyler himself, and since all ladies are there to satisfy their sexual urge, I was personally handpicked by the one they Call Miss C to be Tyler's sex machine. But who cares? I had to blend in to learn a lot about them and also plan my escape personally. But then, he grew fond of me and won't let me out of his sight. It was last night he left his town to some dangerous place that he couldn't take me along that I was able to escape out of that hellish place. Cause if I had stayed one more minute I would never get another chance like this one. So that's that. What about you? What's your story? What's a handsome-looking guy like you doing out here and not in town? "
"Ha-ha... Anyways it's my choice to be here. But then I sense you are quite powerful, and to be able to fight Axel means you've got guts so tell me what your rank is?"
"Omega"
"Wow Omega it's the first time I heard a girl's an omega you must be quite a powerful merit that position"
"I trained a lot I have always dreamed of joining the army at a young age and so at the age of 22 I got what I wanted and since I was the strongest I was sent on a mission which I came out successfully and this was my second one"
"One more thing you failed to tell me about your pack's name, what is it?"
