Rejected, Abused, I Fall for the Forbidden Alpha (by Riley Scott) novel Chapter 204

Chapter 204

Raven POV

I screamed. Not the kind of happy or joyous one, but one filled with pain and the agonizing rage that I aimed solely at my mate as I squeezed his hand with a death grip.

“Damn you Hades, you did this to me,” I screeched as he winced.

I was fairly certain I’d broken several of his fingers, although he made no complaints.

Wise man.

“You’re doing great, sweetheart,” he soothed.

I glared. He swallowed hard. The nurses looked amused.

I was definitely not having the kind of birth experience I’d read about in books. This was pure torture and the worst part was that pain relief was virtually nonexistent because shifters absorbed it too quickly into the bloodstream.

“The head is crowning,” the doctor said from between my legs.

It felt like I was pushing a huge watermelon out of a teeny tiny hole that refused to grow. If I’d known how painful childbirth was, I might have had second thoughts.

“Come on honey, just a few more pushes,” Hades murmured.

“Easy for you to say you neanderthal” I shouted, “you’re not the one trying to give birth! Oh, you’re lucky I can’t transfer the pain to you, or I would have in a heartbeat.”

He flinched.

“Would it help if I told you how much I love you?’

“Will that help take the pain away?” I hissed.

“The baby is crowning. Come on, Luna, push a little harder. You’re almost there.”

Even the doctor was starting to piss me off. Why was she so cheerfull? Didn’t she understand I was several seconds away from bloody murder and Hades was first on my hit list?

Another contraction. My body arched, my mouth opened. I screamed, not caring how loud I was.

If men had to do this, I’m sure they would be screaming louder.

Hades wiped the sweat off my brow as I collapsed back onto the bed.
