Chapter 598: THE BORN OF A NEW LIFE

"You don’t need to be worry about that, alpha Nolan," Cane replied calmly. "Our healer is more than capable to handle my mate condition, there is no need for you to be bothered by this."

Alpha Nolan was as calm as ever. He nodded. "Good. If after the second day your mate is still not ready for a long journey, maybe you need to consider to replace your healer." Alpha Nolan patted Cane on his shoulder. "Don’t surround yourself with incompetent people."

"Thank you for the advice."

With that, Cane nodded and left alpha Nolan. The alpha of the Winter Moon pack was right, he shouldn’t surround himself with incompetent people.

Once Cane managed to free himself from alpha Nolan, the first thing he did was to look for his mate, but he couldn’t find her inside their bedroom. Well, this was not the first time.

"Where is the luna?" Cane asked the guard, who already had the answer for that, because they knew the alpha would look for her.

It didn’t take long for Cane to find his mate was laughing heartily to hear hilarious story from Dyne, Celia was sitting next to her and Zale was standing behind her.

"Alpha!" Aliana waved her hand when she noticed Cane.

Iris turned her head and her smile was so bright when she saw him, which brought a soft smile to Cane’s lips as well. His gaze softened, but Celia immediately scurried away when the alpha approached the luna. The little girl still felt so intimidated by Cane’s presence.

The laughter died down and the atmosphere became solemn.

"You can continue, I will have a talk with Haco for a while," Cane said. He came to get some alone time with his mate, but to see her was being comfortable with the other, he thought it would be nice for her to bond with his personal warriors and new people. So, they would know her better.

After all, he would get her for himself when the night came.

"I will see you later. Don’t roam around." Cane kissed the top of Iris’s head.

"Okay."

Haco frowned at Cane, he was no longer fiddling with the herbs, but he was not happy to talk with him and missed the detail of the story that Dyne was telling them.

Yet, he plopped down from his chair and came with Cane outside the kitchen.

"And then..." Dyne continued with his story after the alpha closed the door and all of their focus was on him, while Celia came to sit next to Iris again.

===========================

It was another agonizing hour for Sofia when she drank the medicine that Kaz had concocted for her, the pain didn’t subside, if anything it only got worst. She felt like her stomach was being squeezed and stabbed harshly. She felt this urge to push.

"Get out from here, Redmond!" Maria barked at him harshly. "What are you doing here?! There is no man supposed to be here!"

"That healer is a man if you are so blind to see!" Redmond glared at Maria, while pointing his finger at Ardand. "Enough with your nonsense!"

"He is a healer! It’s different! Why would you be here in the labor of the alpha’s firstborn!? This is not appropriate!" This time, it was Kaz, who backed Maria up. He was standing at the door, urged Redmond to go out. The two of them were adamant for Redmond to leave the room.

It was not that Redmond didn’t want to leave, he had had enough with their nagging, but Sofia was holding his hand tightly and he couldn’t pry his hand away from her, as she looked so afraid.

More so, they wouldn’t be able to predict how they would react, when they saw the baby didn’t have a pair of golden eyes, the absolute sign that the baby was Cane’s child.

Sofia must have known about that too, that’s why she didn’t want Redmond to leave her side, just in case the situation was out of hand. In the midst of her agony, she was worried about her and her baby’s safety.

Even though, there was still this tiny bit of hope in her heart that the baby would have the golden eyes that belonged to the royal family, which further proved she was indeed carrying alpha Cane’s child. Her life would be easier in that way, yet she clung onto Redmond right now.

"Enough!" Ardand roared angrily once again, he glared at Redmond. "Go out!"

"I will not leave, so you better start what you need to do. If something happened to the baby and the mother, you will need to explain it to the alpha himself!" Redmond hated it, but he needed to pull the alpha card in this situation and what irked him even more was; it did work.

Maria huffed and puffed, but she didn’t say anything anymore, while Ardand immediately close the door and only people, who were relevant to help during the labor would stay inside the bedroom.

"I- It’s hurt..." Sofia cried, as she leaned her head against Redmond’s arm, while he wiped her sweat.

The sight made Maria so mad. This was not propriate for Sofia to be so close with another man, but she couldn’t voice out her dissatisfaction, because they were in this critical situation.

"You can start to push now!" One of the healers said, she checked on the opening. "I can see the baby’s head!"

Maria held Sofia’s other hand, while she encouraged her to push. She couldn’t wait to see the baby.

The sun was almost set out there and the rich red light from the sky spilled into the room, through the window. Sofia’s pale face looked even more concerning under the light.

Redmond didn’t even realize when he started to kiss her forehead, to give her some comfort.

At this point, Maria had gone to help with the healer to check on the baby because the process took so long, the baby should have come out by now if they already saw the head.

This was the first time for Redmond to be in this situation. Seeing how much Sofia was in pain, he couldn’t even process his own feeling.

The room was filled with the thick scent of blood and it was almost suffocating and the atmosphere was very tensed.

"It’s okay, you can do it," Redmond whispered to Sofia’s ears, as he held her hand tightly and alternate between wiped her sweat and nudged her face. "You are strong, Sofia. You can do it. You will be alright. It’s okay. I am here."

Redmond didn’t even know what he was talking about, the only thing in his mind was how to comfort her and let her know that she was not alone. He was not really good to find a nice word to say...

"I- it’s hurt... It’s hurt..." Sofia whimpered, her breathing became shallow and her grip on his hand loosened.

"Stay with me, Sofia. Stay with me..." Redmond tried not to panic, but he couldn’t. He started to bark at Ardand and the other healer to get the baby out of her stomach quickly.

Meanwhile, it didn’t like the other healer didn’t do anything and became so idle, but this was the most difficult labor they had ever handled. They had tried their best.

"Push again, Sofia! Push again!" Maria encouraged Sofia, as she was no longer care about how inappropriate the way Redmond behaved right now.

It was so frantic and chaotic and Redmond felt like his heart skipped a beat when he heard the first cry from the baby.

"It’s a boy! It’s a boy!" Maria cried in joy when she wrapped the baby in her arms. The little one was covered with blood and they needed to cut his umbilical chord first before they gave him to the mother. "It’s a boy! The alpha’s firstborn is a boy!" She shouted again to let the people outside of the room to know.

But they already heard the crying sound from the baby and now they erupted in joy. None of them asked about how the mother was.

However, during the celebration and how the joy filled the air upon hearing the heir of the pack had been born, as the room filled with laughter, prays and the crying sound of the new life, not long after that, Maria shrieked.

"Arrgghh!" Maria almost threw away the baby from her arms, but thankfully, one of the healers caught the baby and reprimanded her.

"What are you doing?! You almost hurt the baby! Be careful!"

"That... that... the baby..." Maria stuttered, her finger pointed at the baby, as if the little one had turned into a monster.

It was a cue for Redmond. He knew what Maria just realized that made her freaked out.

"The baby! The baby doesn’t have golden eyes!" Maria screamed. She was hyperventilating and was in denial. "No way! There is no way! The baby should have golden eyes! That’s not the alpha’s child!"

From outside of the room, the joyful cheer died down, while Kaz knocked on the door when he heard Maria was screaming earlier.

"Maria! What happened! What happened with the baby!" Kaz asked through the closed door.

"The baby is not the alpha’s! This baby is not the alpha’s baby!" Maria screamed back, answering Kaz’s question. "This woman deceived us! We have been deceived!" Maria howled painfully.

"What?!" Kaz immediately barged into the room.

Meanwhile, the healer, who was holding the newborn baby stared in disbelieve when the baby’s eyes were not the color they expected.
