My Alpha's Wolfless Daughter
My Alpha’s Wolfless Daughter – Chapter 74

Luna Ayla

I rushed into the waves and grabbed onto my mother. She was on the verge of collapsing. My dress covered my body as my foot hit the water. I paid no attention to it as I held on to my mother. I never expected to see her again and we parted on bad terms, but seeing her like this broke my heart. She was heavily pregnant and covered in dark bruises.

“Mom, what happened?” I exclaimed, grabbing her cheeks as she held on to my h**s. She had a fresh black eye and a spit l*p.

“I’m okay,” she winced, but I knew better.

“Ryan,” I yelled out. I turned to replace him standing on the beach.

“I’m taking her to the house,” I told him.

“Ayla, I don’t think..” she panted before gritting her teeth.

“It’s okay, mom. I got you.” I helped her back into deeper water before I shifted.

“If you don’t have the strength to shift, just sit with your legs over my tail with your back against my chest,” I instructed.

When I had her secured, I swam down the coast on my back, towards the house my grandmother gave me.

I didn’t want to take her to the pack house. I was still annoyed by all the fighting. But most importantly, I was concerned about my mother. She did inflict those bruises on herself.

“Ayla, I..” she cried.

“It’s okay, just breathe. You can explain everything after you have rested.” I told her. I was also worried about her baby.

“I can hear its heartbeat. It’s elevated, but steady.” Kaia said, and I blew out a breath.

The house came into view and I swam faster, keeping my mom snug against me with my hands around her chest. When we reached the spot closest to the house, I shifted back when my butt hit the sandy bottom. My mom was struggling to stay up, even with my help.

“I remember this house,” she breathed out before wincing.

“Grandmother gifted it to me. Nate and I were going to live here until he became alpha.” I talked as I walked her slowly up to the house. I needed to get her inside to rest. Whatever happened can not be good for the baby. And there was more under the surface.

There were a few of Xander’s warriors standing outside as we approached the house.

“Ayla, I can’t,” my mother cried as I tried to hold her up.

“Help, please,” I yelled out. One warrior rushed over and scooped up my mother like she weighed nothing.

“Follow me,” I ordered, as I rushed into the house, up the stairs, and to my old room.

“Lay her on the bed, please,” I said as I walked into the closet, hoping to replace some clothes for her. I was praying Nate didn’t have everything moved to the pack house. Thanking my lucky starfish, I found an oversized sleeping shirt and a pair of shorts.

I rushed out of the closet to see my mother lying on the bed. She already had her eyes closed. The warrior was standing nearby, watching over her.

“Mom, did you want to change? Are you hungry?” I asked, sitting on the edge of the bed, beside her. I excused the warrior, thanking him before he left. When I turned back to my mother, she was looking at me with desperation.

“Ayla, I need to warn you about Noah. I know I hurt you and I destroyed any chance of a relationship, but I need you to listen to me. I love you.” She winced before crying out in pain.

“Mom, you need to see a doctor. You and the baby need to be checked.” I told her, but she shook her head.

“I’ll be okay after some rest. Can you please get me a glass of water? She tried not to show it but I knew she was in pain. I wish she would let me help her.

“You can tell me more about Noah when I come back. Rest in the meantime. I’ll be right back.” I leaned forward and kissed her forehead. She reached out and grabbed my hand after I stood up.

“Does Nate treat you well?” She whispered.

“He does.” I smiled, squeezing her hand.

“Good,” she nodded, lying back down.

“I’ll be right back,” I told her before I left the room.

My b***d was boiling as I made my way to the kitchen. Whatever Noah did, I was going to make him pay for it. Regardless of everything she has put me through, I will always protect her.

“My Queen, should I call for a doctor?” The warrior from earlier was standing at the bottom of the stairs.

“I think that would be best. She doesn’t want one but I need to make sure they are both okay.” I told him, walking into the kitchen, I grabbed a few bottles of water from the fridge.

“Should I alert Commander Xander?” He asked.

“No, I can handle this. She is my mother.” I told him and his eyes went wide.

“My Queen, I don’t mean to overstep, but whoever is responsible for this, is a monster. We should alert the commander, so he can track them down.”

“I will deal with her piece of s**t claim as soon as I make sure she and my sibling are safe. Please ring a doctor. I know it will take a few hours before they arrive. In the meantime, my wolf will monitor the baby’s heartbeat.” I told him and he gave me a nod.

I was lost in my thoughts as I walked back upstairs. What happened between me and my mother would have to wait until after I knew she was safe. I would never be able to forgive myself if I allowed something to happen to her. Her and my sibling. She is still my mother and I love her.

Walking into my old room, my eyes went wide in horror as sheer panic consumed me. My mother was lying back with her knees bent. But it was the amount of b***d that twisted my heart painfully.

“Mom!” I cried out, the bottles falling out of my arms as I rushed to her side.

“Ayla, this baby is coming,” she panted before letting out a cry of pure agony.

“Mom, there’s too much b***d,” I panicked, looking at the b***d and then at my mother.

“I know, but I needed to warn you. Do not trust anyone. I love you so much, my baby girl.” Her voice faded as her eyes rolled back. Tears streamed down my cheeks as I looked between her legs. I could see the head of the baby.

“Mom, I need you to push,” I commanded, trying to lift her body. Her body felt so cold.

“Please, Mom,” I begged, as I hit her cheeks.

“She’s gone, Ayla,” Kaia whined.

“No, she can’t be gone,” I cried out loud.

“Ayla, you need to get the baby out now, or it will die,” she demanded.

“The baby!” I moved fast, not knowing what I was doing. Getting my hands in there, I began to pull. This baby can’t die. Once the head was free, I worked the shoulders until I was holding my baby sister in my arms.

When she let out a scream, relief hit me in waves as she screamed at the top of her little lungs. Reality hit me when I looked back at my mother.

“Nate!” I yelled through the mind-link.

“Ayla, you can break down after, but right now you need to get the baby safe.” Kaia rushed out.

“I don’t know what to do,” I cried as I held this baby to my chest, trying to soothe her.

“Towels and we need to bite through the umbilical cord,” she explained.

My gums tingled as I felt Kaia push forward. I took the umbilical cord into my mouth, separating my sister from our mother. I spit out everything that filled my mouth. I can’t believe I just did that.

“Did you have a better idea? Now go get towels. We will deal with your mother after the baby is warm and settled.” My wolf reassured me. Before heading into the bathroom attached to the room, I covered my mother up as best I could with one hand. I can’t believe she is gone for real this time. And all because she needed to warn me.
