" God where is he?" I growled as I sat up on a guest bed in the Loft,
" I can't reach him" Deaton says as I gripped the mattress and sheet under me,
" He isn't answering his god damn phone Deaton" I growled as I saw that my arms were exposed, Blake was taking my pain,
" You're only four centimeters along" Deaton said after I had Blake place a pillow on my back,
" It hurts, I feel like I am being torn apart" I growled as I felt my fangs grow, my large belly exposed, sweat riddled my pale apricot skin,
" Jace relax, don't make me tell you twice" Blake growled at me, I relaxed, but I laid there as the muscles in my belly stopped contracting.
" I'm only thirty one weeks, the baby should come at 40" I moaned in pain,
" if the father and mother are born werewolves, then a werewolf baby can be born at thirty weeks, they grow a bit faster" Blake says as I smile,
" I'm thirsty" I said as I see Derek carrying Cora and Isaac along with Peter followed,
" Deaton, help me up" I groaned as I felt another contraction, Deaton nodded and helped me up, I walked to see Derek set my sister in law on our bed,
" Derek, I smell...Jace" Peter says as I felt my belly, I groaned, Derek looked at me surprised and darted for me,
" Derek, my water broke earlier" I groaned as he held me up, I see Blake smiling as he had a cup of what I see as Ice Chips.
" You're only thirty one weeks" Derek says as he kissed my sweating forehead,
" Turns out if born wolves bear offspring it only takes thirty" I grinned as I felt my muscles cramping up,
" Thats how Talia bore all her children, you took thirty three weeks to be born Derek" Peter says smiling, but I groan out in pain,
" I need to lay down" I groaned as I felt my claws growing, Derek and Deaton lead me back to the guest bed, I sit up, Derek massages my spine.
" Here is your Ice Chips" Blake says as he gives them to Derek, who starts to slowly spoon feed me the chips of ice,hours passed as I was going through contraction
after contraction, I groan as I had a white blanket over my lower body, my skin on my belly was over exposed, I moaned in pain, Blake was on one side of me holding
my right hand and Derek was on my left holding my left hand,
" You're doing so good Jace, light and easy breathing" Deaton says as I lean to Derek for comfort, Blake steps back as Derek gets behind me, the heat was helping
my lower back,
" Derek your not the one pushing a baby out" I growled as he kissed my neck, his lips taking some pain from me.
" Easy on the pain withdrawal" I moaned as I relaxed again on his now bare chest,
" Gotcha" Derek says before kissing my forehead, as soon as he finished his statement, I felt pressure beginning to build,
" Ah" I screamed as Deaton got down there, he looks down and is surprised,
" You're ten centimeters you have to push" He says as I see Peter at the door, I feel Derek holding me tightly as I take a couple deep breaths,
" Easy pushing Jace" Deaton tells me as I slow down, I feel contractions slow and steady,
" Gotcha" I groaned out as Derek took my hands in his, I let low groan, Peter was watching attentively, I groaned in pain again, this time it was Blake who was taking
my pain, but I growled,
" Alright Jace I need a big one. Ready?" Deaton asked as I nodded,
" Alright next contraction push hard" Deaton says as I began feeling the muscles contract.
" OW" I growled out as I began to push again, I felt like I was being split apart,
" Easy the shoulders are out Jace, now all you have to do is let your body do the rest" Deaton says as I smiled, the next contraction, I pushed, soon I heard cries of
my newborn daughter,
" It's a girl" Deaton says as I watched him take her into his arms,
" Derek wanna cut the cord?" Deaton asked, I see my Imprint was crying, he smiles and nods, I watched as he cut the cord that connected both my daughter and I. A
loud snip was heard and she cried out again, I watched as Blake had a towel ready, Deaton cleaned her up, soon she was in my arms, I let my chest loose, I placed
my daughter near,
" It might take a second for her to latch on" Blake says as I see my daughter new nose sniffing, soon she latches on. I hissed in small discomfort,
" Jace?" Derek asked in concerned tone,
" I'm ok this is all new to me" I say as I noticed my daughter had black hair, like her father, I smiled but frowned as she latched off of my breast, she nuzzles, I cover
my chest with the blanket. But my daughter was still visible,
" Derek she's perfect" I say with a smile, he caresses our daughter's head, she leaned into his touch a bit before falling asleep on my bare chest, but she was also
encased in my warmth, Derek kissed me softly,
" What are you naming her?" Blake asked as his eyes were trained on my offspring, I looked up at my Imprint, my husband and my lover, we smiled as we stared at
our daughter then we looked up to Blake and Peter.
" Her name is Aurora Scarlet Hale" Derek says as I lead on him,
" She's perfect" Blake says with a smile, I watched as Deaton left with a smile on his face, a couple minutes passed before Aurora was in clothing, I was holding her,
Derek was by my side smiling down on her, we were in the middle of the loft,I see that Derek watching Cora, poor thing, Isaac showed up and smiled when he saw
Aurora asleep in my arms,
" She's dying, isn't she?" Isaac asked me as I shrug,
" I don't know." Derek says as I feel tears going down my face, we can't do anything,
" So what are you gonna do?" Isaac asked Derek, I was dead focused on my baby girl,
" I don't know." Derek replied as I held my daughter closer to my warm chest, I feel my chakra bubbling round me, I get up and I feel my body shift unwillingly into
my humanoid wolf form, I felt another tail grow and another chakra tail grow,
" Want to figure something out? Because while Scott and Stiles were out there trying to help people from being killed, Do you get how many people she's killed? Erica
and Boyd are dead, Cora is dying, and you are doing nothing! Why'd you do this to us, Derek? Was it all about the power? Were you bored? Were you lonely?" Isaac
asked as I was holding myself strong, I have three chakra tails and three wolf tails, I looked down on my child and changed back but my chakra cloak remained.
" Maybe. I told Cora, I wouldn't leave. I'll help the others when I figure out how to help her." I told him, but he growled back at me, I hold my baby close, my
preciousness that is my daughter,
" There's no time! The full moon's coming. The sheriff and Melissa are gonna be dead, so I'm gonna try and help them. You can sit here and perfect the art of doing
nothing." Isaac yelled at me then went out the door, I see Aurora tearing up,
" Shh baby girl I got you" I whisper to her as I nuzzle her, I let my cloak be absorbed into my body,
" I wouldn't take it personally. Anger is just a tool. He's using it to excuse shifting allegiance from one Alpha to another. From you to Scott." Peter said as Aurora then
began falling asleep in my arms, she is so perfect,
" Scott's not an Alpha yet." I replied as my baby girl fell deep asleep again, I was happy I was a mother.
" But he's on his way, isn't he?" Peter said as I just watched as Derek looks at his sister,
" Careful." Peter says as I growled, I see that Derek was taking pain from Cora.
" Don't worry. I know going too far could kill me." Derek says as he holds his right arm into his chest,
" That's not exactly what I meant." Peter said as I looked at him, what was he going on about?
" I've heard it's something only an Alpha can do, and with good reason."Peter told me as I quirked my eyebrows, seriously he isn't suggesting that!
" Which is?" I asked him as he was solemn with what he says next,
" You know normal wolves never abandon an injured member of the pack. They care for it. They bring it food from a kill and then regurgitate it into the mouth of the
injured wolf. They even give it physical and emotional comfort by intensely grooming it. In a way, they can do more than just ease pain. They can be instrumental in
healing their own." Peter said as he was going to a ritual that only Alpha's can preform this was a history lesson,
" If you're trying to tell me I can save her, just tell me." Derek yells at his uncle, Blake was on the spiral staircase,
" I'm telling you... I've heard it's possible." Peter responded to Derek, I cracked my neck,
" How?" Derek asked with impatient, it was kinda messy, but I see Peter is holding his cool.
" It's that spark of power that makes you an Alpha. When you take her pain, she draws on the power that provides you with those special gifts. The power that
heightens your senses, your strength. The power that transforms your body. As an Alpha, you have that bit of extra, that spark intensifies the color of your eyes from
a bright yellow into a searing red." Peter explained what the ritual can do to him,
" If I can save her..." Derek dawned him, but then there is a catch,
" If. If. I didn't say it works every time. It could just as easily kill you." Peter said making the downside appear, I growled as Aurora snuggled deeper into my chest,
" How do I do it? By taking her pain?" Derek asked him, Cora needs to be saved from the brink of death and she was on death's door by the looks of it,
" And then some. Because there's a cost. I can understand not seeing a downside to this, as you haven't exactly been Alpha of the year, but think about what else
you'd be losing." Peter said as I looked at my imprint, he was so lost, he need to decide,
" I don't care about power. Not anymore." Derek said as I see he had had a change about him, I didn't see it till now.
" What about the power to fight back? Correct me if I'm wrong, but Kali's ultimatum still stands. The full moon is tomorrow night, and if you couldn't beat her as an
Alpha, how do you think you're gonna fare as a beta?" Peter said as he was trying to get a rise out of Derek,
" I don't care." Derek replied as I see Cora twitch a little,
" What if this was exactly what Jennifer was hoping for? She would know the only way for you to save Lexi would be giving up your power. Maybe that's what she was
gonna have you do at the hospital." Peter told me as I noticed that Cora's breathing went rough then clear, but she was getting closer to death,
" Why?" I asked him, Peter looked at Aurora then me lastly Derek and sighed,
" So that you wouldn't be able to face the alphas without her. She wants you to come to her. It's all part of her little seduction, and she is still seducing you. She
needs you on her side." Peter told Derek, I see Aurora move closer to my chest,
" It's gotta be now. I don't have a choice." I said as Derek walked over to Cora,
" You always have a choice. It's whether or not you can live with the consequences... facing Kali as a beta." Peter told Derek as I nod,
" But it's not just a full moon coming. It's a lunar eclipse." I say as Derek nods before taking his sister's arm,
" We'll all be powerless." Derek says before I watched him taking his sister's pain, I watch his veins turn black, and then his eyes glowed, his fangs exposed, he
roared and his eyes turned beta blue.
