Chapter 50 - Alpha Daniel

Allison’s pov

Daniel was lying beside me, the both of us not leaving this room for what seemed like an eternity.

I had the girl against my chest, fading in and out from sleep, not even caring that they had tried to kill me to get her out of me. Daniel didn’t even get it when he was sleeping, having his arms around me, making sure he could feel me with his big body against mine that was still fully focused on the small baby in my arms, a girl.

I didn’t even know that could happen; an Alpha had a firstborn girl, she was special, and everyone knew it; that’s why they all had come to help me. I wasn’t stupid, and nobody liked me because I had given birth. Nope, the small baby in my arms, my light, was drawing them in, Candice.

“Candice….” “I was whispering her name a thousand times, and it seemed to fit her when his eyes opened, showing me big blue eyes that made me smile big against her. Look at her; I loved her with all my heart. My precious light. I didn’t need anything other than her, she was staring back at me, or at least I thought she did. I wasn’t sure what pups could do since I never was allowed around them as an Omega. Still, this girl wasn’t an Omega or an Alpha. she was something else. It was making me feel better not being alone in a pack of beasts surrounding us that she was special, like me.

“Allie…. oh shit … what time is it?” Daniel was rolling over, groining, when I made a snort. What did I care what time it was? My light was here, and that was all I worried about, fuck the time and everything else around us.

“Hey Candice… hey….” I was whispering it, having my fingers over her face; she was the most beautiful girl in the world and mine.

Daniel was smiling, seeing us. He even had held her when I was getting up for the bathroom, my beast wanting to get back to her the second that I had given her over, it was hard to accept that people in this pack wanted her, and I didn’t want them around anymore, my beast being protective, same as Daniel, even if he clearly was handling this better than that traitorous Beta abandoning us when we needed him the most… I sighed, pushing away whatever feelings I had about that. Daniel was the one hurting over him, not me.

“Still can’t believe she is really here, Candice Turner….” Daniel was tasting her name, the same as me, to my giggle. He looked different being here inside with me, just loving what he was seeing, same as me, our girl that was my everything; there was nothing I wouldn’t do to make sure she was safe, kill the entire pack if I had to… but that was never going to happen… I have seen the eyes of the girls coming inside. They all wanted her… worshiped her for a better word, the pack being able to feel the same thing as I could but only duller, that she was something else, still a beast and, the most important part, not an Omega like they all had feared.

“I need to get out today. I’m sorry, Allie, I would love to stay here some more, but you know….” He stopped when I nodded and didn’t care. He had to do something with the pack. I was going to stay here inside with my light. Nobody was going to complain about me not taking my Luna duties seriously; this was the only duty I cared about, my Candice.

“You are the best fucking mate I could have got ever, and don’t let anyone make you think differently.” I beamed a genuine smile hearing that. Daniel beamed right back at me before kissing me a couple of times on my head to my purring. Yes, he was the best mate that I could ever have, and look what we had made, the perfection that was in my arms and not making a sound, like she didn’t even need to cry, holding her up for him to kiss her too, I wanted the fucking world to see her and love her, everyone was going to see that my Candice was the future of packs everywhere and then we finally could stop this shit that was going on around.

“I’m just going to be down in the office, no further, and call me if anything happens, okay?” Daniel was picking her up, making me stare at him in awe, still lying in bed, seeing the big Alpha holding his tiny baby and looking so happy that he didn’t know where to go. I always knew that our lives would change when we finally had our light. She was so small and still the best thing that ever had happened.

“Don’t cry baby, here… take her….” Daniel was giving her back when I didn’t even know I was crying, and to my laughter, I wasn’t sad, I was just so happy, and I didn’t even know I could feel this way. She made me feel this way.

“I just love her. You feel it too, don’t you, Dan? that she is special?” I was still purring, taking my baby when he smiled proudly. Yeah, he could feel it, too, leaning over to kiss her again and kissing me, making me smile more from his lips against mine. My beast loved every second of feeling my mate and pup safe and happy. We all were.

“She sure is Allie, looks just like you, beautiful…” he made another purr back to me when I didn’t believe that for a second. Candice was beautiful, be she didn’t look anything like me. I didn’t care. She wasn’t Daniel or me, and I could feel it. Maybe it was my witch sense more than my beast that wanted to protect her, this girl was the best part of him and me, and that’s what made her special, our Candice.

“Why don’t you come and have dinner with me later? Let the girl take Candice and….” I growled at Daniel’s stupid words. Leave her to the girls!? So that they could do whatever the hell they wanted with her!? I might know they wouldn’t dare hurt her, but that still didn’t make me trust them. They tried to kill me when I was in labor!

“No! There is no way that I am leaving her over to anyone. I rather die, just like I almost did when she was born! Don’t you think that I could feel that they carved me fucking deeper, making sure that I was going bleed out? You are stupid if you didn’t see it, Dan!” my growls made my baby cry when I stopped to hush her, giving my mate the stink eye for even saying some stupid thing like that! Knowing that people in this pack hated me and that they would not have shed a tear for my death bleeding out so they could have my girl for themselves!

“Allison, stop please… they didn’t try to kill you. I was there! They were just trying to save Candice??” Daniel wasn’t screaming, his beast not even out, making me snap back, still hushing my baby. Sure, I could get it, but I saw the smirk on the woman looking at me like she knew what she was doing. Me, dying in childbirth would have been something that happened every now and then with beasts and a golden opportunity for this pack to get rid of me, the Omega Luna that everyone hated!

Daniel crossed his arms, looking serious when he had changed, having a frown on his handsome face as if he did believe me, but then again, his beast didn’t. he was the Alpha and thought that people in this pack would settle in line, and they would never do that, I had lived here my whole life, and I knew they were all cruel and cold!

“Okay, so what if they did try to kill you? They can’t.” I gasped, holding my baby closer, seeing his beast coming out like he was expecting me to defend myself against the pack. That was his job, not mine! He was the Alpha and not me!

“Yeah, and now when they know that don’t you think more people will try to hurt me, Dan…. This pack is evil.” I was saying it convinced when he disagreed. I could see that in his eyes, he didn’t believe that this whole fucking chapter of the beast was evil, same as everyone else that was living under older rules. I would not accept that now when my pup was born. I hadn’t changed on that part. Nobody was coming close to my light!

“Allison, you know what I said about the beta female when she had her pups? This is all you act like her, only you are fucking paranoid and …. Well, I don’t believe that they were trying to kill you. I would never have let that happen since I love you.” Daniel was slouching down the slightest, wanting me to believe him when I didn’t, they tried to kill me, and that was it. Everyone was out to get me; I was aware of it from now on.

“I’m not being paranoid! They all want her, and the easiest way is to take me out. Don’t you understand that Dan?!” I was pleading with him when he made another huff, wanting me to be quiet, he didn’t want to fight, and I didn’t either, not when we were happy being here with our baby.

“Fine. I will keep an eye out…. It's just…. Harder since Ben is gone and… yeah….” He stopped when I held my hand out, and he took it. I didn’t care about the traitor; we didn’t need him. He could get another Beta; there was probably someone that could do a better job than that slacker did anyway.

“You are Alpha Daniel, and nobody is better than you. I love you….” I came closer, still holding my baby when I kissed him, making sure he could feel my beast. He liked that when she was out, it made him feel safe and like we were a normal mated couple. I didn’t care anymore, so I wasn’t the best beast for him to be mated to on paper. I loved him and Candice. Everything else could go to hell, even this pack.

“I love you too, Allison, and please…. Try to trust me when I say nobody will hurt you, not when I’m around….” He purred when I did it back, closing my eyes and feeling my beast pushing out more, our heads leaning against each other. I was safe and close to my mate and would never doubt it again.

“Come out and eat later, take Candi with you, and we can do whatever we want….” I smiled upon hearing that. Yes, that sounded nice, she wouldn’t leave my side, not if I wasn’t dead, and that would never happen. He was right about that part.

“Yes, mate…” he made one last kiss on my head before walking out and leaving me in the same bed I had given birth in, safe with my light away from snooping eyes and ears. We could stay here forever.

“I love you, Candice…. oh goddess, I do…” my voice was soft, and the Omega beast inside me stared down at her pup. She would die for this baby, and so would I.
