Chapter 146 Delivery
Filippa's POV
It hurts a lot. It hurt so much that I couldn't understand what was going on around me. My back hurts so intensely that I can hardly register the doctor's voice.
"Young madam, please push. There's just a little left." The obstetrician gently advised me, her hands on my belly.
The beast of sweat that drained my forehead rolled down, and tears trickled past my eyes.
Ever since dawn, when my contractions began, I was told by the obstetrician to keep pushing, and there's just a little left.
Still, my baby hasn't shown a sign of wanting to appear, or maybe I'm not the one doing well.
My eyes grew weary due to tiredness. I feel so tired. I'm so tired. I've tried to do the best I could, but still...
"Danger! The witch tribe had started an attack. Luna Lorelei led them." The sudden, distant voice that drifted into my ears made me regain consciousness.
The witch attacked? Those damn witches. I am in labor, which signifies that Oswald and Wyatt will currently be weak and won't be able to use their power to the extreme.
And being two of the most important people in the war, their weaknesses will certainly show during the war!
I knew that Lorelei and the witch must have purposely done it. After all, that is all they were good at—playing dirty. Isn't that the same thing they did during Oswald, Asher, and Wyatt's birth?
My fist clenched, and a surge of determination overwhelmed me. I can't be the reason my friends go down. If I can't be their strength, then I can't block them either.
I mustered my strength to touch my abdomen, and I caressed it twice. 'Baby, be good. Daddy needs us now. We have to be strong for Daddy.' I whispered inwardly.
"Ahhhhhhhh!" I cried out in pain while attempting to push and apply pressure, as I was informed by the obstetrician.
"It's bad! She's about to deliver; what do we do? Princess Lorelei said we must prevent her from giving birth at all costs."
The sudden panicking voice of one of the nurses made my eyes enlarge. It turns out that I haven't been doing it wrong at all. It turns out that they didn't want me to give birth due to an order from Lorelei.
I didn't expect that Lorelei had already infiltrated the power axis pack so much that she had an influence on my delivery. What should I do? I can't let their attempt work...
"Just use that colorless and traceless poison she gave us earlier. It'll end them permanently. No one will know anyway." The cold voice of the obstetrician sounded, making my eyes widen.

Third POV
Wyatt paced around Oswald's office and ran his hand through his hair, his face pale.
Wyatt clenched his fist with anxiety and worry coursing through him. Suddenly, Wyatt paused and eyed the pale Asher, who had just stepped into the office with an enigmatic glint flickering past his eyes. "Why is your face pale?" He questioned.
Asher's face is pale and white as a sheet, as if it were completely drained of blood; his lips were dried and chapped; and his whole figure was frail, as if he could be blown away by a breeze.
Asher made his way toward the sofa and plopped on it. He shrugged and sighed. "Don't know. Fell sick the day before.“ He confessed.
Upon hearing this, Wyatt exhaled. At first, Wyatt thought Asher was also being impacted by Filippa's labor, just like Oswald and Wyatt, but hearing Asher's response completely dispelled the thoughts in Wyatt's mind. After all, that will mean that Asher is also one of Filippa's mates.
Filippa began her contraction at dawn, which meant that Asher's ailing was not related to Filippa at all.
Wyatt arched his brows. "A lycan doesn't get sick." He stated
Asher shrugged as if to reply that he didn't know what was wrong with him either.
Upon feeling the pain from the mate bond, Wyatt's eyes darkened, and he growled, having the impulse to run to the hospital and rip everyone apart. Filippa has been in labor for a while now; why is she not out? Why? Wyatt's eyes turned golden immediately. He had to use his all to suppress himself.
"Why is the doctor not doing something?" Oswald roared and banged the table, causing it to rip apart.
Perhaps it was the shock of Oswald's actions that caused Asher to hold his chest and begin to cough loudly.
Oswald grabbed his chest, his brows knitted, and his face paled. "Wyatt, how can we make it stop? I hate that she's hurting." Oswald grabbed Wyatt's hands and implored.
Wyatt collapsed on the sofa, also wanting to run to Filippa and carry her in his arms while telling her it was okay.
However, Finley and Alpha King Hudson already locked Oswald and Wyatt up because they might go crazy due to the pain and do things they shouldn't.
Wyatt tried to regain his calmness despite the pain coursing through him. Suddenly, his expression turned grim, and his eyes narrowed. "Oswald, Asher, does this remind you of something?"
Asher coughed while touching his chest; he gasped for breath and panted heavily. "I'm afraid that the witch might want to play some dirty tricks. Lorelei has disappeared since Maia went into lab..."
"Alpha, the witch tribe attacked." The sudden yell of a guard interrupted Asher's explanation.
Shit. Those bastards! The trio's eyes turned cold, and they cursed. Immediately, they made their way to the door.
Finley opened the door. His eyes landed on Asher, Wyatt, and Oswald, and his brows knitted with worries. "Will you be able to fight in your condition?"
"There's no option. Dad, how's the casualties..."
Before Wyatt could complete his words, Alpha King Hudson suddenly mind-linked the four of them, his voice grim.
"This is miles more crazy than in the past. Lorelei is crazier than her father..." Upon hearing Alpha King Hudson's explanation, their faces turned grim.
It turns out that Lorelei isn't only interested in getting what they found and brought from their trip to the Yellow Mountain. She was also interested in attacking the werewolf tribe.
Immediately, they switched to their wolves and raced to the battleground.
Lorelei was dressed in a black cloak and hat, which were miles different from what she always put on when she was in the power axis pack. A dark aura loomed over her.
