Chapter 67 Dimitri: To say that Natalia’s words took me off guard would not be a lie
| wrapped my hand around her arm, pulling her to the door. Her eyes met mine, and | shook my head in question, refusing to believe that what she just told me was true.
“What do you mean that?”
“Aurora is losing blood, in labor, and | do not know the damage that has been caused to cause the bleeding in the first place. But neither one of us is stupid. She has not been okay throughout most of her pregnancy, and therefore, we are going to have to pray that we don’t end up losing her through this” Natalia said, and | looked inside the bedroom, looking at Aurora who was taking deep and slow breaths as sweat covered her b*dy.
The nurses were talking to her, and one of them stood by her side, wanting to hold her hand. However, for the first time since the two of us mated, | didn’t want to find myself without her. | couldn’t imagine the house without her presence no matter how faint it initially was.
| waked toward her, and nodding at the nurse, | watched as she stepped aside before | cupped Aurora’s cheeks, making her look at me. Her eyes met mine, and | could read both her fear and pain in them. | k*ssed her forehead, letting my I*ps linger there for a few moments before pulling away to look her in the eye.
“lam going to be right by your side, and you are going to be holding our baby in your arms, Aurora.” | said, and she looked at me with tears welling in her eyes. | wiped those that fell before taking her hand in mine and k*ssing her palm. “Our baby needs you and
you are going to have to do this for all three of us. | can’t raise the baby on my own, and the two of us know that very well, malyshka.”
She closed her eyes for a second before looking at Natalia, and it didn’t take me long to know and understand that she heard the whole conversation that went on between us. But that didn’t matter to me. All | cared about right now was the fact that she was to give birth to our baby safely. The two of them had to be safe out of this, and | didn’t want to think that we were going to be losing either one of them.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
“Luna Aurora, you are ready for labor.” The pack doctor said, breaking our conversation. Our eyes met, and | hated the fact that | saw worry in them, the same worry that was in Natalia’s eyes, fearing that this would be backfiring badly. | turned my attention to Aurora for a second, and leaning in, | connected my I*ps with hers in a gentle k*ss that | never pictured that | would give her.
The pain that | caused her for months played in my head, and | couldn't help but find myself feeling guilty because of it. Her anger, her agony, her tears, it was at this moment that | found myself regretting every moment of them.
The two of us pulled away to look one another in the eye, and | ran my finger through her hair for a second, wiping off the sweat from her forehead before turning to stand by her side as | took her hand. | squeezed it gently, assuring her that | was going to be by her side. And this time, it wasn’t because | had to be by her side. This time it was because | wanted to be.
“You can do this, malyshka. You just need to push, okay?” Aurora’s screams filled the estate as she struggled to push the baby.
Her b*dy was already growing exhausted and though | did suggest that the doctor helped her with a surgery, both she and Natalia believed that it was going to be more harmful on the two of them.
The sight and scent of blood never worried me before, but now, | wanted to do anything to stop the bleeding. Her heart. raced, and she squeezed my hand as tears escaped her eyes with each scream that left her I*ps.
“| can’t.” She said, looking up at me. She shook her head, and | squeezed her hand gently. “You can do this, Aurora. You have been doing a good job so far, and | am not going to allow you to stop now.” | said, shaking
my head at her. | had to admit, even | was tired after the long day, it's been nearly twelve hours, but | was refusing to leave her sight. Her heart raced, and she shook her head, clearly afraid.
“lam tired.” She said, and | smiled. Her heartbeat filled my ears, and | took a deep breath, motioning for her to follow my lead as another contraction hit her. | squeezed her hand again, and k*ssed her forehead.

“You're almost done, Aurora. And everything would be better when our little one is born, but | am going to need this. You can’t give in to your exhaustion right now,” | said, keeping my eyes on hers. She nodded before taking a deep breath as another contraction hit her. She screamed, and squeezing my hand, she did her best to push harder than she has. The pack doctor nodded at me, and | massaged her shoulder, letting her know that | was by her side. She was going to need me a lot more right now, and | didn’t intend on making her feel like | was going to leave her.
“Lama, one more big push, we can see the baby’s head.” The pack doctor said, and if Aurora had squeezed my hand before, then | was sure that she was crushing it now. But all that eased when a baby’s cry filled the room, and the pack doctor smiled, raising the baby slowly. “Congratulations, a beautiful, healthy, baby girl was born.”
| looked at Aurora, wanting to k*ss her forehead only to be surprised when | realized that her eyes were closed as her heartbeat slowed down.
“Aurora?” | called, frowning in confusion as | noticed that her hand, which was initially holding mine, was cold as she seemed to stop moving completely. “No...”
Natalia’s eyes widened, and it wasn’t until the pack doctor looked at me for a second before nodding at two of the nurses to get me out of the room that my heart dropped as | saw her pulling out the electro shots.
“What is going?”
“We are going to have to wait, Dimitri Natalia said, stopping me as she followed me out of the room. “Right now, all we can do for Aurora, is wait..”
