Lucus made quick work of her shirt as well before Allen returned with a white hospital gown. Lucus lifted Emma up slightly so she could slip it on her. They had just laid Emma back down when a door burst open and the doctor walked in. She was wearing her pale pink hospital gown and white flats.She came strutting through like she owned the place. She shoved Lucus and Emma aside, making her way over to Emma. She was currently panting and sweating as if she had just run a marathon. She grabbed one of the towels from the nightstand and dabbed it with some of the cool water in the bucket. She wiped the sweat rolling down her face before she began setting up everything she would need for the delivery.The group sat there for the next hour and a half. It was silent. Allen was in the other room talking to Alex, who had arrived ten minutes beforehand. Emma had requested that they leave the room. She didn't feel comfortable with anyone witnessing her give birth to the baby other than Lucus. Sh
Emma complied, taking the last few steps towards Lucus. The Alpha pulled her into his arms, stroking her back lovingly. Emma wrapped her arms around Lucus as well, not able to prevent the smile she was holding back from spreading across her face. Lucus suddenly felt tense. Emma looked up at him and noticed a sour expression written across his features."What's wrong, Lucus?" She whispered."Nothing."Emma glared, not taking too kindly to being lied to. Lucus sighed in defeat and met her gaze. His eyes held so much sorrow and fear. "I'm not a good father," he whispered sadly.Emma gasped out in shock. How could Lucus think like that? It's not like someone can go from never being around children to being an expert on them in only a few weeks! Lucus was being too hard on himself, setting his expectations too high. Emma would do everything she could not to let Alpha beat himself up over not being experienced with kids."Lucus, you love both Clary and Nadia to pieces! How could you say tha
A small family could be heard all the way down the street from their apartment. A toddler was throwing a fit by the sounds of her crying and screams, and two people could be heard arguing."You! Get out of my home now!!"Emma hissed at her father, who was standing a few feet from his daughter and granddaughter, sporting a scowl.Emma was doing everything she could not to gently set her daughter down in her playpen and lunge for her father's throat. Nadia is now four years old; she's grown to be a beautiful toddler. She was clinging to her mother like her life depended on it and was crying hysterically. Emma was rocking back and forth in his arms and glaring at Robert in hatred."That thing is an abomination. She shouldn't even exist!" David spat, glaring at the toddler in disgust.The toddler whimpered at the insult and clung even tighter to her mother. Emma was enraged and could barely control herself. The only thing keeping her from screaming at her father was the little girl in her
The air was filled with the subtle scent of lemons and candle wax.Gold tapestry runners featuring Batik motifs graced the tables by the entranceway to the hall, and crystal vases filled with white roses spilling out sat atop them, while bouquets of white roses wrapped in blue silk ribbons decorated the ends of the old wooden pews. The early morning sun shone through the stained-glass windows of the wedding hall and reflected pretty images onto the floor of the hall. Dozens of candles in every size were placed on the altar, ready to be lit when the ceremony started; they would lend a soft and warm glow to the happy couple as they stood before friends and family professing their love for one another.Zia studied the decorations with a critical eye—everything had to be perfect. She had pale yellow roses braided into her long dark hair and her dress, a long column of silver—not quite white and not quite grey—that shimmered under the lights with every moment. Satisfied that everything was
Everyone remembers their first love. The happiness that always came when that person was around When Lucus met Moni, they were in middle school. Lucus stepped in to save Moni from an Alpha group of older boys who were picking on her. Lucus instantly realized the smaller girl was Omega. Lucus, who presents as an Alpha, finds himself protective of the small Omega. They were strangers then, but after a few weeks, they became the best of friends. It was Lucus who fell first. Actually, he fell the moment he swooped in to save the Omega and only continued to fall every moment after. It wasn't until his freshman year of high school that Lucus had the courage to confess. It was scary watching his best friend's eyes widen at his words. Lucus trembled as he admitted his feelings, scared of rejection but even more so of losing his best friend. But when Moni kissed him only a moment later, it felt like Lucus had saved a nation in his past life. Moni had accepted his feelings and even confess
"Oh! My baby, welcome back!" Emma was pulled into a crushing hug by her mom as soon as the door was opened for her. Emma didn't think twice before hugging her mom tightly. Her mother's Omega nature makes their bond even more beautiful. "Come inside, love; the dinner is ready! We were just waiting for you!" Her mom said this as she was led to the dining room. "You guys didn't have to wait for me, mom." Emma pouted, making her mom chuckle. "Oh, don't even worry about it. Now that you're here, we can enjoy our time and talk." The Omega smiled softly at the smell of her favorite food. Her mom would always make her favorite dishes when Emma was staying for dinner. Emma didn't live with her parents; she is a strong and independent Omega. After she finished her studies, she started working with her father. Emma greets her father, and they start eating immediately. It was comfortable, and they talked about work a bit and their busy lives. Emma talked about how she was halfway through the
Lucus comes out of the car with his parents. They are having a dinner with the Madden family; he really doesn't want to come here, but he doesn't have a choice. His father is not listing him at all, and his mother, well, she is happy to meet her favorite child after a year. "Lucus, you should behave, okay? Don't embarrass me. And don't you dare to say that Omega name in front of Emma." His father commands him, and he just nods at the older Alpha. They make their way to the main door and click the doorbell. "Mr. and Mrs. Madden, please come in," the lady said. Lucus bows his head, showing respect, before he gives a box of cake to the woman. As they make their way to the dining room, Lucus hears a voice coming from upstairs. "Sorry to keep you waiting," a man with a deep voice says, taking his seat. "So, how are you? Wait, is that him?" "Yes, he's my second son, Lucus," his father said. Lucus bows his head and says hello to the other Alpha. "He looks so manly. I'm sure a lot of Om
Lucus peeled off his clothes, folded them carefully, kept them in his usual place, and shifted into his wolf form. He sniffed the air with his wet snort and started running towards the woods. The morning sunshine was peeping through the trees, touching the ground, and the more he ran away from the city, the more nature looked beautiful. The green leaves, dark brown earth, and wetness under his claws felt so amazing that he could almost forget his cruel destiny.Moni.The girl had beautiful eyes. Lucus first love and maybe his last too, Lucus remembers when he first saw her. Out of all the beautiful omegas, she was outstanding. Out of all the beautiful omegas, she was outstanding.They became friends when Lucus saved her, and one night Lucus couldn't stop himself from asking her hand for a dance. Eyes fell on them; everyone knew about their friendship, and they somehow saw them as a couple.That day, Lucus let her fly through the air, taking her gracefully into the hall. Her eyes never
