Alpha Maximus The Last Lycan novel Chapter 45

Everyone smiles and stares at us with Hopeful looks. I sink a little in my seat, blushing.

"All in good time, Beth. We will have our pups when we are ready to do so," Alpha Maximus says, giving me a reassuring smile.

Alex paces the ground back and forth, fretting. "She should have been here by now," he says with worry.

"I'm sure Bella is fine," Alpha Maximus reassures him.

Alex's phone rings, "What do you mean? I'm on my way!" he says, hanging up.

His breathing is heavy as he grips his head with his hands.

What's wrong? What has happened?" I ask.

"Sally said that Bella is bleeding badly. She thinks something is wrong," he says.

"Where are they?" I ask.

They are just outside our territory," he says. He then races inside to get doctor Matlin and back outside, shifting into his wolf.

"I'm coming with you!" I say to him.

We shift and follow Alex through the fields and the trees until we see a car parked on the side of the road. We can hear Bella screaming in pain. Doctor Matlin approaches the back seat where Bella is. Sally is holding her hand, reassuring her.

"She needs to start pushing. The baby needs to come out now," Doctor Matlin says.

"Bella, you can do this. Just breathe in and push. Okay? in three two one, breathe, now PUSH!" Sally guides Bella.

We all encourage Bella to push and keep pushing. Finally, after her fourth push, we hear the baby cry. Doctor Matlin wraps the baby in a blanket, handing it over to Alex so he can stop Bella from bleeding.

A big smile is on Alex's face as he holds the baby and rocks.

Alpha Maximus and I approach him, "Congratulations, Alex," we say to him.

Alex is speechless, staring down at the sweet little bundle.

"So, is it a boy or a girl?" I ask.

"I'm not sure," he laughs. He opens the blanket to check. "It's a boy! It's a boy!" he says happily.

We're so happy for him. Then Doctor Matlin walks over to us, "I'm so sorry, Alex.' he whispers.

"Don't you mean congratulations?" Alex says with confusion.

"Bella is gone, I'm sorry, but she didn't survive the birth," he says sadly.

We all freeze, and our faces become pale, "No! No!" he yells. He hands the baby to Alpha Maximus and rushes into the car.

Sally is crying. Alex leans over Bella and cries into her chest. I approach the car. I go from feeling great sadness to now feeling great determination.

I lean over Bella, placing my hands over her. My hands emit a glow, and my eyes are glimmering silver.

A few minutes go by, and nothing seems to have happened, "Hope...Hope! I'm sorry, but she's gone," Sally says.
