I quickly contemplated on what to do as the pain gradually set in. From the distance at which I saw them to the palace, it will take them approximately five to six hours to get here if I’m not mistaken. Therefore it gives the palace guards and the warriors enough time to prepare for their arrival if I contact my mate and inform him about it.  After making up my mind, I open the mind link between my mate and me and informed him immediately but left behind the news of me going into labor so as not to distract him. Not long after I told him, all the warriors around the palace were summoned to prepare for the upcoming battle and the war bell was rung as a warning to everyone that we were under attack. While my mate opened a general mind link to all the pack members that the women that were not warriors, with all the children and the elderly were to retreat to the safe bunk immediately.

I closed my eyes and waited for the brunt of his sword to descend on me while with the last hope in me; I reach out to the mother goddess for a last-minute miracle.After waiting for what felt like hours to feel the brunt of his sword against my skin, I opened my eyes gradually to see what has stopped him from doing so.Only to see him convulsing on the ground before me with blood gushing out of his ears, eyes, nose, mouth, literally every part of his body was bleeding, and within seconds, he bled out dried, and died.

Walking into their room, I saw two of the most adorable pups ever, lying down in their cribs, sleeping peacefully and not having a clue of what was going on around them. I walk quietly towards them and saw that they weren’t only adorable but they looked so much like her. Even though they were just given birth to, the similarities between them and their mother were so obvious. My heart suddenly tightened in severe pain and went on my knees as I held my heart tightly. This only indicated one thing, and that was my mate struggling for her life and slipping away. I stood up to run towards the infirmary but came to a halt as my pups suddenly burst out crying at the same time and I knew instantly they also felt what I felt just now. I turned around and walk back towards them, ignoring the pain I was feeling. I can’t let them go through it. They are too little to be feeling this much pain. I need to do something to stop them from feeling such
