The Heart Of The Beast The Alpha's Pawn (Sonia and Ramon) novel Chapter 261

Chapter 261

The air in the Bloodmoon estate had shifted from celebratory to sense, every sound mitted as the pack waited anxiously. The healer’s quarters, usually a place of quiet calm, were now a flurry of activity. Sonia lay on the birthing bed, her breaths coming in sharp gasps as waves of pain rippled

through her.

Alpha Ramon sat beside her, his hands gripping hers, his knuckles white from the pressure. His sharp, commanding presence on the battlefield was nowhere to be found. Here, he was simply a mate, terrified and helpless as Sonia endured each contraction.

“You’re

doing amazing. Sonia,” he whispered, his voice soft but laced with worry. “I’m here. I’m not leaving your side.”

Sonia’s eyes fluttered open, meeting his gaze. Despite the sweat on her brow and the pain etched into her features, she managed a small smile “You’d better not,” she said, her voice strained but full of determination.

The healer, a stern–faced woman named Yara, moved with practiced efficiency. Her hands were steady as she checked Sonia’s progress, her expression revealing nothing

“How is she?” Ramon asked, his voice tight.

Yara glanced up, her tone calm but firm. “The babies are coming quickly. She’s strong, Alpha, but this will take time. You need to stay calm for her.” Ramon nodded, though his heart was pounding in his chest. He had faced death countless times, stared it in the face without flinching, but this, watching Sonia in pain, unable to do anything was almost too much to bear.

Outside the room. the pack had gathered in the courtyard, their murmurs filling the night. Ivy stood with Blane, her hand resting on her still–fat stomach as she whispered a prayer for her brother and Luna. Sonia’s brothers paced restlessly, their expressions a mixture of worry and impatience.

“She’s tough,” Wolf said, breaking the tense silence.

Blane nodded, his jaw tight. “Ramon won’t let anything happen to her, You know that.”

Outside the healer’s quarters, Wolf paced restlessly, his usual bravado muted by the weight of the moment. “What’s taking so long!” he muttered. earning a smirk from Jed.

“Relax, again,” Jed said, though his voice wavered. “She’s tougher than all of us combined. She’ll be fine.”

Inside, Sonia let out a sharp cry as another contraction tore through her, Ramon leaned closer, his forehead brushing hers.

“You’re so strong, my Luna,” he whispered, his voice cracking despite his attempt to remain steady. “You’ve faced so much. You’ve got this?

Sonia gripped his hand tighter, her nails digging into his skin. “Ramon,” she said through gritted teeth, “if you keep talking like that, I’m going to shift right here and rip you apar.”

He laughed softly, despite the lump in his throat. “I’d deserve it.”

Finally, Yara looked up, her expression serious but calm. “It’s time, Luna. The first pup is ready”

Sonia nodded, her face pale but resolute. She met Ramon’s eyes, and for a moment, the world seemed to narrow to just the two of them.

“We’re doing this together,” she said, her voice steady despite the pain.

“Always,” he replied, pressing a kiss to her forehead.

The first cry pierced the room like a beacon, clear and strong. Ramon felt his chest tighten, a wave of emotion crashing over him as Yara held up a tiny, wriggling pup.

Ramon tightened his grip on Sonia’s hand, his heart pounding in a way it never had in battle. He had faced enemies, stared death in the face, but nothing had prepared him for this moment. As Yara lifted the tiny, wriggling form into view, Hamon felt his breath catch. This was their legacy, a symbol of everything they’d fought for. A perlert, unbreakable piece of Sonia and him.

Sonia’s tears flowed freely as she cradled her daughter, her fingers tracing the delicate features of the pup’s face. Ramon leaned closer, his hand
