Chapter 165. Please, call my husband
Alana
That night, there was a big party in that pack where people sang and danced all over, celebrating the great wealth that that chain had acquired from the witch people.
The people were happy because our problems were solved now that we had enough gold to build a new city much bigger and much more, increase the economy and improve the lives of each member of that pack.
The people were happily fulfilled, it was well that I could see the joy in their eyes when they looked at me for my husband, and gratitude is all we had done for them.
“You are the pride of this place,” they said to us.
“We didn't want any leaders other than you two, we want you to know that you are very important to us, and this pack will always be grateful to the goddess for sending you here, Alana. Now we recognize that having you here is the blessing of our goddess; you were sent directly by her to save us and take us out of the misery that will our pessimistic thoughts and not be insecurities and our internal problems; you have brought life to this place; you brought compassion, love, and understanding to everyone here; that's why we will always be grateful to you and your husband is our leader.”
I couldn't help but feel warm in my heart when I saw those people say that about me. I remember at the beginning when I came here, and they treated me with indifference and with kind of crooked looks, making me afraid that I would be murdered at any time because I lived here, and their leader had taken me as his wife.
I knew that many didn't like this idea; they struggled a lot with wanting to admit that their leader had hidden a witch to be the wife of the leader of a pack of wolves, but we had proved to them that my origins and my species were what I really was. Really listening to him said that I was real; it was my character and my positioning as a person; this is what dictated how much a person evaluates, not their race, particular ethnicity, social class or the amount of money the person had.
And that was exactly what I left behind. I wanted to bring people to understand that life doesn't just end with material things; if you receive it and deliver compassion and kindness to people, you could also be attributed in the same way; it was the law of life; everything you gave, you received in return.
I felt Sedrik hold me and smile at me. It was clear how happy he was to have a woman like me by his side. I felt very loved curled up by his side, and I didn't want another man in my life. Yes, today I could say that we really were a very happy couple.
“Thank you all. Know that I am very happy that one day my life took this totally unexpected turn, and my paths crossed with this Alpha here, and he took me here, although by force, but also today I understand that everything was the design of our goddess. I am very happy with you here; I feel like you are my folks; you are my home nowadays because wherever my husband is, I will also be there, and I will make this place my home just as it is my home,” I said, and then I ran my hand over my belly.
“Even because I will give you an Alpha child.” Then, I smiled at them.
So weeks passed as Alcantara's pack rose from the ashes like a phoenix and took its rightful place in the world.
With all that money that Prince Emory sent to us, we could now help the people improve the living conditions that were already precarious because of the usurper, who actually ended up with all the money from the coffers of the leader of that pack, but it was clear that things were starting to take the right path.
People started to recover from all the abuse they had suffered, and after the battle with the witches, things started to change little by little, so everything was fine.
But there was a day when I almost died when suddenly I was in the kitchen looking for something to eat because I was a hungry. As a pregnant woman, I just spent the whole day eating and eating and eating.
At that moment, I felt such a huge pain in my back that I dropped the plate of food on the floor and started screaming. Scared and not knowing what to do, I just held my belly and cried while my maids and guards carried me to the room upstairs.
“Put her to bed carefully,” It was Skylar recommending the guards and maids, as she stayed close by because I was already at the end of the pregnancy, she had already been called.
“What's going on, Skylar? Am I going to lose my baby? ”I asked in fear, not knowing what to do.
Although the pain in my back was more severe, I was afraid of losing my pregnant baby. I was so attached to that pregnancy that I felt like that child was everything to me now. I could feel its heart beating most of the time when it's hitting inside me.
The baby was moving and communicating through the mind with me; it was strange to be able to talk to it there when this precious thing was still on my belly, but the speech wasn't totally human or understandable due to the connection between mother and child that we had. I didn't know yet if the baby was a boy or girl, but my husband told me that the Alpha's clan always gave birth to a boy child for the first time; so, I was expected a boy.
“I can't lose this child, Skylar…" I stammered in pain from contractions. I was scared, holding my own belly.
“Don’t worry so much; your water broke; you’re going to give birth, my dear,” she said with a smile, making me get emotional. I could tell that that was happening for real. After everybody doubted that I was good for nothing and incapable of giving birth, and now I was going into it...
“Oh, my goddess… I'm so happy…” I babbled and then groaned in pain from a strong contraction. “Ouch! It's so strong... Call Sedrik, that bastard. It's all his fault, tell him to come and share the pain with me,” I said, already feeling crazy with euphoria.
