Azura
KIARA
This was not supposed to happen . | held Raven tightly as she trembled , struggling t o hold her tears back . ”
Damon ... ” | said softly . He looked at. | had never seen him look more torn . Confusion , want and guilt all
surrounded him .
| knew he wanted to comfort Raven , yet at the st, he felt guilty towards Liam . | had never seen them
ever argue like this . They were like brothers in every way . Seeing Liam this towards Damon completely shook
angryup .
” | don’t know what to do ... ” He whispered . He moved forward , reaching for Raven . ” Liam ...
" She whispered , her head buried i n my shoulder . | saw the hurt flash in Damon's eyes as he backed away .
She didn’t mean it like that ... But before ! could even speak , Damon had run off . | closed my eyes , feeling
confused .
” Luna Kiara . ” | turned to see one of Dad’s warriors approaching. ” What is it ? ” | asked . ” Alpha Scarlett is
in labour .
” My eyes flew open, my heart pounding . | needed to get to Mum instantly ! | looked a t Raven , who wiped her
tears and pulled away . ” 1 ” You should go ... ” Raven , what about- ” ” I'm ok . Do you think I'm going to cry
over smen ?
| just had something in my eye ... ” She tried lamely to make an excuse . ” I'll cto check on you later ...
He didn’t reject you . Things will be ok . ” | said firmly . | believe they would too ... Why couldn't they see how
lucky they were to have a mate who was by their side ? Life is too short to let the moments pass you by .
She nodded , givinga smile . | turned and ran towards the hospital .
" Careful Luna ! ” The warrior said . | didn’t reply , in too much of a hurry to get to Mom . We weren't sure how
things would go , considering how the baby had been transferred .
The pregnancy had also been very draining on Mom despite her quick healing . Two hours later , Liam and | were
both pacing the hall . He had returned , but could feel his emotions rolling off of him .
| had been by Mom's side until my own little one was getting agitated and Dad toldto go take a break . But |
was not able to as | paced the otherwise empty halls . 11 ” Liam ... ” Don’t Kiara ... ” He said , his voice strained .
” Liam ... Don’t hurt her-
” " Look , I've not asked for anything in life ... but the one thing | prayed for ... | ... ” He sat down , resting his
head in his hands . ” Do you know how lucky you are that your mate is here , alive and able to hold you in her
arms ?
” | whispered . My heart was aching as | thought of my beloved . We spoke quietly , making sure no one could
hear us . ” You don’t get it ? Tell, Kia , could you share Alejandro ? ” He asked , lookingdead in the eyes .
My stomach twisted at the very thought o f someone else touching my mate .
” Can you imagine Alejandro loving another woman as much as he loves you ? ” The thought tugged at my heart
and | realised | was in no position to speak , when | myself couldn’t even bear to be in Liam's position .

” Exactly my point ... ” He whispered . | sat next to him , placing my head on his shoulder .
I wished I could help him , help Raven , help Damon ... But this was something they would have to figure out on
their own . ” Just ... don’t run from it all . The three of you need to figure this out ...
| know that in the rare cases of being blessed with more than one mate , it is usually brothers who are given two
mates ... But for Selene to bless you and Damon with the smeans that she too sees you both as ” brothers .
| believe you can make this work . 11 He didn’t respond . We simply sat there , side by side , until the sound of a
baby crying reached our ears . We both stood u p, my heart hammering as we rushed to the door . ” Can we
cin ?
” Liam asked . ” Yeah . ” Dad replied . We entered to see Dad wiping Mom's sweaty hair off her face as he kissed
her forehead tenderly . The nurse passed Mom the baby , allowing her to slip her under the sheet to rest her
against her chest .
Before leaving us for a moment . ” It's a girl . ” Mom said tiredly , but despite that , she was smiling . Her eyes
were shining with unshed tears . | smiled softly , going over to look at her . Her mop of black hair remindedof
Auntie’s .
| looked down at her , my heart warmed as she looked atwith her large doe eyes and those gorgeous long
lashes as she yawned . ” She’s absolutely gorgeous . ” | whispered , stroking her cheek . ” Any names ? ” Liam
asked quietly .
He was hiding his emotions perfectly . ” Azura Rayne . ” Mom said softly , kissing the baby’s head tenderly .
"It's pretty and perfect . ” | said , taking a seat on the edge of the bed . We fell silent as we all remembered
Aunty Indigo . After so many years , she had been blessed with a child , but she didn’t live
long enough to see her ...
| just hoped that she was looking down at us and was proud of her little angel . ” She’s tiny . ” Liam whispered ,
taking her tiny hand in his . She curled her fingers around his finger and | smiled . We would take care of her no
matter what .
" How are you feeling , Mom ? ” | asked as Dad sat next to Mom and wrapped his arms around her .
” Tired but good . It seemed harder this taround . ” She said , with a small chuckle .
" Yeah, |, did not like seeing you like that again ... ” Dad said , frowning slightly . ” For Indy ... ” Mom said . ” I'm
going to treat my little girl like a queen and raise her to be one, just like her elder sister . ” | smiled and Dad
chuckled .
” | really am surrounded by Alpha females . ” Get used to it . ” Liam said quietly , with a wry smile . ” So no luck
with a mate ? ” Mom asked , looking at him with a hopeful look . ” No. No luck .
” Liam said smoothly , making a stab of pain go through, my heart skipping a beat . Mom looked
disappointed , and | had a feeling she had wanted it to be Raven . ” Well ... You're a male , it's common not to
find your mate so soon . ” She said confidently .
” Oh, and what about Damon and Raven ? ” Dad asked nonchalantly . ” | don’t know , we ended up coming here
” Liam said with a shrug . My heart was thudding as he gavea look, his blue eyes piercing into mine .
Mom looked between us . ” You don’t know if either found their ” mate ? ” She asked , raising a perfect brow .
| shook my head , feeling guilt twisting inside of. There was a small knock on the door to my relief , and the
nurse that had left re - entered . ” Mind if | do a few checks and then you can feed her, Luna ? ” Mom nodded
and | stood up . ” We'll head out .
"I said , placing my hand on Moms and letting my healing flow through her . | saw her relax and knew that
despite her fast healing, this birth had taken a lot out of her . ” Thank you, Kia . ” She said gently .
” Anyt, Mom . ” | said , before Liam and | left together . | looked around the hall and pulled Liam aside . ”
Why did you lie ? ” | asked . ” They don’t need to know . ” He said quietly . ” Liam ... What are you planning ?
” "I'm not- ” He stopped talking , pulling m e further back . | was about to speak when | realised why he had
paused .
... Luna . It’s still weird ... ” ” Shush ! If you're heard ! ” Another nurse hissed .
” All I'm saying is , we are going to have a child born of magic in this very pack . A freak- ” Liam stepped out, his
eyes flashing as the nurse who was carrying Azura froze . My own anger was rolling offat her words . The
other woman quickly took the baby from her as both lowered their heads . ” Sorry Alpha ... “
"If anyone talks about my baby sister like that , | swear you will get punished for it . If you don’t spread such
words , no one will think much of it . ” Liam said quietly . ” Y - yes Alpha . ” ” Take her back to Mom now . ” He
commanded .
The woman hurried away and the one who had spoken looked at him in fear . ” Cto Dad's office in the
morning , I'm sure he’ll have the perfect punishment for insulting our little princess . ” He snapped . ” Yes Alpha,
I'm sorry .
" She looked terrified . Liam didn’t reply as he walked off , but not so fast that | couldn't keep up . | was still i n
my gown but | wanted to go to Raven . ” Liam ... what ” ” Please Kia , stop it . I'm just going to pretend none of
this happened .
” "You can’t deny the mate bond . Even Alejandro couldn't . ” | whispered as we stepped out into the cool night .
" He fell in love with you before the mate bond snapped into place , Kia . On top of that , it was a totally different
situation ! ” H e said softly , despite the frustration in his voice . ” Look , you're pregnant , you don’t need any
more stress in your life .
He caressed my cheek , givinga small smile . ” So, that’s your way of saying mind your own business ? ” |
asked , feeling hurt . ” No. All I'm saying is I'm leaving for my Alpha training soon . Alone .
"| froze , Alphas who had found their mates were allowed to take them with them ... The dorms they lived in
regardless of what city they were in, provided for couples too . | understood that his situation was different , but
... he could be gone for almost three years , and something toldhe wouldn't even chfor the
summer holidays ... ” You're running away ,
” Liam . ” Then shall | reject her ? ” He asked so quietly that | just about heard him .. | felt his pain as my own
heart ached at those words . ” No ... ” | said , feeling torn . ” Liam . ” Damon said . Liam sighed deeply , ” Don’t
want to talk to you right now , Damon .
" Alright , take your tman, just don’t shut her out . ” ” Don’t tellwhat to do . Besides , | was just
mentioning this to Kiara , I'm leaving for my Alpha training soon . | want to ask you one favour .
” Liam said , looking at Damon . Both were tall . Liam was taller by two inches and he had a slightly bigger build ,
but both were muscular . ” What is it ? ” Damon asked . ” Don’t mention anything about
If that stays between the four of us I'd prefer it . A s for the rest, do whatever . ” Liam said . | could sense his
agonising pain , despite how calm he was acting .
Damon looked stunned . He frowned . ” Liam , think it over, calmly- ” ” Just do as | said . ” Liam cut in, turning V
away . ” Fine ... ” ” Make sure you tell her that too . ” He said , not directing that at either of us .

It hurt to know he couldn't even say her nany more . He walked off into the darkness and | looked at Damon
. Illuminated by the hospital lights , | could see his conflicted expression . ” What are you going to do ? ” | asked .
Liam's words had disturbed, | could see the toll this would have on Raven . He sighed . ” Sleep on it . | don’t
know what to do ... Liam is like a brother .. | don’t think I can just be happy knowing he isn’t but then , | can’t
ignore Raven either .
Lately , over the last few months , I've fallen for her . ” He said quietly . | smiled gently .
Suddenly , in all of this, | felt that they truly could make it work . Damon was patient , calm and caring . Liam
was stubborn, gentle and avoided trouble . Then there was Raven , the spark who would ignite them both .
| was positive they would figure this out . No matter how hard it would be to get there . ” So shall | take you
h? ” Damon asked . ” No, | want to go to Raven . ” | stated . ” She's at the playground .
My Queen . ” He replied , offeringhis arm . ” Oops , | didn’t mean to sound so bossy . ” | apologised
sheepishly . He chuckled lightly . ” Not at all .
“1 took his arm , letting him leadin the darkness towards the playground . | smiled sadly . Despite not going
to her, he had kept an eye out for her . The playground was somewhere Raven often ran off to after she got in
trouble or wanted an escape from h. Growing up , she was a naughty child who was always pranking , and |
would be lying if | said she didn’t ask for trouble .
She was a mato mischief and when we were younger, the little demon as most called her, was always in
the midst of anything going on, and now it seemed even Selene wanted to give her more trouble . ” Thanks .
” | said to Damon , hearing the creak of the swing in the darkness ahead . ” No problem . ” He whispered , letting
go ofand retreating . | made my way forward , now using my abilities to light my way .
The swing stopped moving and | saw Raven sitting on one . ” | heard the baby is born , Uncle El announced it .
Congrats ! ” She said smiling . | looked at her, realising she was always grinning or smiling and it was rare for
her to show her true emotions . Deep down , | wondered how often she had pretended to be ok , when she
wasn't .
She had always protected, always taken care of, and she had always been smiling , just like now . ”
Azura Rayne . Stunning ntoo ! ” She piped in . | sat down on the swing next to her . Oh, Goddess , this was
so hard !
| looked hilarious as | held my belly , my legs parted slightly . | kept my aura aroundso | could see her
expression . ” It is a beautiful n. ” | agreed . ” How is he ? ” She whispered after a moment, her smile
faltering . ” Confused .
"I said , not knowing what else to say and | couldn’t bring myself to lie either . ” And Damon ? ” She asked . ”
Even he’s ” 1 avoiding. ” ” He isn't, they are best friends . Of course this has thrown them off , ” ” | get that
” She said , looking down as she swung slowly on the swing . Both of us fell silent, looking up at the moon . ” Did
he say anything ? ” She asked after a moment . ” He said to keep it quiet for now ...
I mean , they did say ‘ mate ‘ at the ball , but | guess everyone was pretty busy in their own business . But yeah ,
he hasn't told Mom and Dad yet . ” | replied , hoping she didn’t take it the wrong way .
” Mm, that makes sense . Besides Azura’s just arrived , I'm sure everyone is going to be going crazy to see our
new little Alpha princess .
"| reached over , took her hand and let my aura fade away . Giving her the privacy to drop her act if she wanted
. " Things will work out . | know it .
| ” Thank you . ” She replied softly as she tangled her fingers with mine . We sat there silently and it felt like we
were kids again for a moment . | hoped one day they would get their happily ever after ... and | hoped | got mine
too . I miss you , my love .
