The Alpha King's Rebellious Queen
The Alpha King’s Rebellious Queen Chapter 111

Jemma’s POV

“My water just broke,” I said to my mother as she knelt in front of me. I tried mind linking him, but I was hitting his mental wall. Normally as his mate, I could break through the wall, but I was weakened and having a hard time concentrating on breaking through the mental wall. ‘Leonora, I can’t get through to Cassius.’

‘I’m on it, Jemma, hang on,” My wolf replied.

“He has a wall up,” I whimpered to my mother. “I can’t contact him.”

She stood up. “I’ll go get him.” She then ran out of the bathroom.

‘Cassius!’ I cried through the link with everything I had as another contraction ripped through my body. I screamed out as I planted my hands on the floor in front of me. ‘Cassius, I need you.’ I cried through the link. Then I heard a room-shaking growl rattle the palace. The contraction subsided as the door of the bathroom burst open, revealing my very concerned mate. My mother and his mother were right behind him.

Cassius’s POV

I was enjoying myself dancing with my sister and Jemma’s sister. I twirled Ainsley around the floor. I felt terrible that Jemma couldn’t dance as she wasn’t feeling well tonight. I looked back at her sad face a couple of times. I waved a couple of times, but she just looked like she was not having a good time. After the song ended, I looked back at the table and didn’t see Jemma. I looked around the room and couldn’t replace her. I began to feel a dull pain in my head like someone was trying to link me. I had my mental wall up tonight so that I could have a fun night. Only Deke and Jemma could break through the wall.

The pain grew more as I heard Enoch started growling. ‘Lower your mental wall,’ He said to me. I saw Melinda running towards me with a wide-eyed look. ‘Cassius!’ Jemma’s voice cried through the link just as Melinda reached me.

She placed her hands on my arms. “Cassius, Jemma is in labor. Her water broke.” Melinda explained to me.

‘Cassius, I need you,’ Her voice cried through the link.

I let out a loud growl that silenced the room and looked at my mother-in-law. “Where is she?”

“Bathroom,” Melinda pointed.

I ran past her as the crowd parted for me. I barely noticed that Melinda and my Mother were behind me. I burst through the bathroom door to see my mate on her hands and knees on the ground screaming in pain. “Jemma!” I yelled and reached for her as her screaming quieted. Her eyes were tightly closed as she panted. “Breathe, Jemma. You can do this. Don’t panic.” I blurted out. She opened her eyes and glared at me. “What? Why are you glaring at me?” I said as I paced in front of her. I then felt a sharp sting as someone had slapped me.

“Cassius!” My mother barked at me. She had slapped me. “Get yourself together.” I stopped pacing as my mother growled at me. “Now, calm down and pick up your mate and rush her to the hospital. I don’t think you want your children born on a bathroom floor.”

I shook my head. “No, I don’t want that.” I turned and knelt beside Jemma. “I am going to pick you up now, love.”

She nodded quietly as I took her into my arms and she wrapped her arms around my neck. I stood up and started running out of the bathroom and down the hall into the ballroom. Everyone was quietly watching the scene. My father and Jemma’s father were waiting for us as I stopped and looked at the crowd.

“Enjoy the party, everyone. I have to get the queen to the hospital to give birth to our pups.” I said, and the crowd erupted in cheers as I ran towards the door. Jemma whimpered in my arms, and as I carried her out of the ballroom and into the hall, she was hit with another contraction. She held tight onto my neck as she screamed out in pain.

I ignored the pain in my neck as I held her tight. I touched my forehead to hers as tears ran out of her closed eyes. “I’m right here, love, “I whispered to her. I leaned against a wall while she shuddered in my arms. The contractions seemed to last minutes before she loosened the hold on my neck.

She opened her eyes. “I’m sorry,” She cried.

I kissed her forehead and continued running towards the hospital, mind linking the staff to be ready for our arrival. I was relieved as the hospital came into view, and the door was held open as I rushed inside. Angela was waiting for us by the front desk and ushered me down the hall to a room. I placed Jemma on the bed.

Angela began to examine Jemma. “How long have you been in labor?” She asked Jemma.

“It just started,” My mate replied as the nurses set up the various equipment, including a heart monitor.

“Because you are almost fully dilated.”

Jemma sighed. “I have been feeling a dull pain in my lower back all day.”

Angela let out a long breath. “So you have been in labor all day, it seems.”

Tears welled up in Jemma’s eyes. “I never felt that with Nicky, so I didn’t think anything of it.”

“It’s alright. You got here on time.” Angela said as Jemma let out a scream.

I watched my mate’s face contort from the extreme pain. I reached for her hand, and she grabbed mien and squeezed so hard I dropped to my knees. I had to hold back my scream of pain. “You can do this, Jemma.”

“SHUT UP!” She screamed at me. “WHY DID I LET YOU DO THIS TO ME!”

I looked at her with my mouth open, trying to form words.

Angela squeezed my shoulder. “Cassius, don’t let anything she says affect you. She doesn’t mean any of it. She is in a lot of pain. Just smile and nod.”

I nodded at my friend as Jemma stopped screaming. She lay on the bed, panting heavily. “I can’t do this,” She whimpered.

I leaned my forehead against hers. “Yes, you can. You are the strongest woman I know.”

The door of the room opened, and our family tried squeezing into the room. “You can’t all be in here,” Angela said with her hands on her h**s. “Two of you max along with Cassius.” She ordered.

My Mother and Melinda exchanged looks. “We’ll stay while everyone else waits,” Melinda said to Angela.

My mother nodded. “Yep,” She looked at our fathers and siblings. “The rest of you go wait outside.

Phil took a few steps towards Jemma, who looked up at him with tear-streaked eyes. “You got this, Jemma.” He smiled at her and kissed her forehead.

“Thank you, Daddy.” She said softly as everyone walked out. My mother stood beside me while Melinda took up the other side and held Jemma’s other hand. The nurses finished hooking up all of the equipment. Jemma looked up at me. “I am sorry that I ruined your party.” She mumbled.

I pulled a chair towards the bed and sat down. I peered into her violet eyes. “It’s just a party. Nothing and I mean nothing, is more important than what is happening right now. This is the best day ever, Jemma.”

She sniffled and then gripped my hand tighter as another contraction hit her, and she let out another scream. Her eyes closed tightly as she gritted her teeth.

“Breath Jemma,” Her mother said to her.

I ignored the pain in my hand as I rested my forehead against Jemma’s. That seemed to quiet her screaming a bit as I felt the sparks of our connection. ‘I wish I could use the mate bond to take away some of her pain,’ I said to Enoch.

He whimpered in response. ‘Unfortunately, this is the only pain that we can not help our mate with. We can comfort her, but that’s about it,’ My wolf explained.

Jemma’s panted as her grip on my hand loosened. “I can feel a head,” She whimpered out.

I looked around the room. “Where the f**k is Angela?” I quickly mind-linked my friend to get her a*s back in here. Seconds later, she ran in.

“I stepped out for a minute,” She said to me while sitting on a stool in front of the bed. She lifted the sheet and sighed. “Well, one of them is coming.” She looked at Jemma. “Next contraction, you need to push, alright, Jemma,” Angela instructed my mate.

She nodded her head. “Are there feet?” She whimpered out to Angela.

The doctor laughed, “What?”

“Feet. Are there feet sticking out?”

Melinda started laughing at that, and I glanced at my mother in confusion.

“No, it’s a head trying to come out,” Angela said and glanced at Melinda.

“She’s probably asking because she was a breech birth,” Melinda explained.

“Oh,” Angela replied. “Lucky for you, these two are in the right positions.”

Jemma’s grip on my hand tightened as the next contraction hit her, and she screamed while Angela was yelling at her to push. I ignored the pain in my hand while looking Jemma in the eyes. Her Mother and my Mother held her knees apart while I helped her sit up slightly as Angela instructed. “I CAN”T DO THIS!” Jemma cried out as she pushed.

“Keep going, Jemma,” Angela said. “Someone’s head is almost out.”

Three more long hard pushes and Jemma’s screams, and I heard the first loud cry of one of my pups.

“And we have a boy.” Angela declared and held up my crying son.

Tears welled up in my eyes as I looked at him. Jemma sobbed also, and I leaned down to k**s her. Angela handed Malcolm off to a nurse as she prepared Jemma to push again for Daisy.

“Okay, I don’t see the other head yet, but she’s coming,” Angela said to Jemma. “Next contraction, push again.”

Jemma panted with her eyes closed on the bed as we listened to Malcolm crying. “Is he alright?”

“He’s just fine, Jemma,” Angela told her. “They are examining him and cleaning him off.”

Pain shot through my hand as Jemma gripped it tightly. Her face contorted in pain as she screamed through the pain while pushing. “OH goddess,” She cried out.

“You got this, Jemma.” Her mother encouraged her. My mother was squeezing my arm as Jemma pushed. Her grip on my hand loosened as she panted some more. I could see the fatigue in her eyes and the sweat on her body.

“Love, you are doing so great,” I said to her, and she barely nodded. I wanted to put myself in her shoes and take away the pain.

She began screaming again with the next contraction. Angela and our mothers were giving her encouragement. “The head is out. Keep going,” Angela said to her.

A few more pushes later, and I heard a second loud cry as Daisy emerged into the world. Angela held up my crying daughter for us to see as Jemma sobbed beside me.

I leaned down and kissed her. “You did it, love. I am so proud of you. This is the best day ever.” She loosened the grip on my hand, and I looked towards the other side of the room where my pups were both crying. I stood up and walked towards them. They had been cleaned off and were in separate little cradles. I reached out my hands and gently placed them on both of their chests, and they both stopped crying and looked up at me with their mother’s violet eyes. A sob erupted out of me as tears flowed down my cheeks. “Welcome to the world, Malcolm and Daisy,” I said to them. Each one had a tiny hand gripping each of my thumbs. It was a magical moment until I heard Melinda cry out.

“Jemma!” Melinda yelled as I heard the machines going crazy. I looked back towards my mate and Angela, and the nurses were pushing her and my mother away from Jemma while they worked frantically on Jemma.

I walked away from the twins, who started crying again. “What’s going on?” I demanded.

“Her heart stopped,” Angela said quickly as she had

“Jemma!” I shouted and tried stepping towards my mate as I felt pain in my own heart. One of the nurses placed a hand on my chest.

“I’m sorry, your majesty, but we need room to work.”

Melinda stood beside me sobbing as I just watched wide-eyed as Angela and the nurses scrambled to revive Jemma while my newborn pups screamed behind me. My best day ever was about to become my worst day.

Melinda leaned against me, and I wrapped my arm around her and let her cry against my chest. I watched as Angela shocked Jemma’s chest. Then there was a sigh of relief as the machine’s beeping returned to normal.

“Oh, thank goddess,” Angela breathed out. “Her heart is beating again.”

The pain in my own chest subsided. ‘Get closer to her. She needs our strength. Leonora’s is depleted from the birth,’ Enoch instructed me. I did as my wolf said and walked towards my mate. “I need to be close to her,” I told the nurses, who let me sit beside her. I took her hand and leaned my forehead against hers. Her breathing was normal, but she was momentarily unconscious.

“Cassius, she should be okay now. I suspect her being a white wolf that the birth used all of her strength.”

I took in Angela’s words as I listened to my mate breathe and my pups scream. I looked back at my pups as they were being swaddled. I stood up and walked over to them and placed my hands on their little chests, and they stopped crying. I smiled as I picked up Daisy. “Hello, my beautiful little girl.” My mother was next to me.

“They are both perfect, Cassy.” She said softly to me.

“Can you pick up Malcolm and place him in my other arm,” I told her while shifting Daisy. “They need to meet their mother.”

She smiled at me and gently picked up Malcolm. She looked lovingly at her first grandson for a moment before placing him in my arms. Tears fell down my cheeks as I cradled both of my children and then carried them back to Jemma. Her mother was sitting on the other side and looked lovingly at the pups.

“They are absolutely beautiful, Cassius,” Melinda said to me.

I smiled at her and then looked at my mate. “Wake up, Jemma. You have to meet our children.”

“Melinda, let’s give them a few minutes to themselves,” My Mother spoke out.

Melinda rose from her seat and nodded. “We’ll be right outside, Cassius.” She touched my arm softly, and then she and my mother walked out. It was just Jemma, the twins, and I after Angela finished her exam.

“Jemma,” I spoke out softly. She stirred on the bed. “Come on, pups. Help me wake up your mother.”

They both seemed to understand my request, and both made crying noises. Jemma stirred again and, this time, opened her eyes. Momentarily she looked confused then looked over at me, sitting beside her with our newborns in my arms. “Cassius,” She whispered.

“Jemma,” I replied. “Do you want to hold your pups?”

She nodded and sat up a little. I leaned over as she reached out to take Daisy into her arms. Carefully she cradled our daughter. “Oh, my goddess. We made these Cassius.” She sobbed and looked at our daughter with so much love. “She is so beautiful.”

“Like her mother,” I smiled at her. “Would you like to hold Malcolm too?”

She nodded and carefully placed our son in her other arm. She cried harder as she held both of our pups in her arms. Daisy and Malcolm were calm and content in their mother’s arms.

I leaned over and kissed her. “Thank you for giving me the best birthday gift ever.”

She smiled at me. “I’m glad you like them. Because I couldn’t think of anything else to get you.”

I laughed out loud. “Oh, Jemma. This is the best day ever.”

The door of the room opened, and our parents and siblings all squeezed into the room. “Is she going to be alright?” Phil spoke out first.

“Yes, she will be fine now,” Angela answered from the back of the crowd.

Everyone seemed to sigh with relief. They circled the bed. My parents, Jemma’s parents, my sister, and her siblings all looked with wonder at the werewolf kingdom’s future.

“Meet Malcolm Alexander Fury and Daisy Victoria Fury,” Jemma announced. “Daisy, Malcolm, this is your family.”

Our twins were then passed around gently to their grandparents and aunts, and uncle. I wished Nick could be here to meet his new brother and sister, but it was nearly midnight. Melinda had told me that he was with Liz and that she would bring him here first thing in the morning.

After everyone got their turn at holding the babies, they all finally left, and it was just Jemma and I laying on the bed while Jemma nursed them. She seemed comfortable having one twin latched to each breast. She sighed. “What does the future hold for us, Cassius? When is this demon uprising? And how are our innocent babies a part of it?”

I traced my hand down her cheek. “Love, let’s not think of that now. Let’s enjoy this beautiful moment with our beautiful pups.”

She finished nursing, and I took Daisy into my arms while she held onto Malcolm. Jemma showed me how to burp Daisy while she did the same with Malcolm. Moments later, the door opened again, and Nick ran into the room, followed by Liz.

Nick ran over to the bed.

“I’m sorry, he somehow knew they had arrived and insisted on coming to see them,” Liz explained.

Nick jumped up and down by the bed. “I need to see brother and sister.”

“Come on, Nick,” I told him, and Liz lifted him and set him on the bed. He crawled over to me and looked at his little sister.

“It’s alright, thank you, Liz,” Jemma said to her.

“Your babies are beautiful, Jemma,” Liz responded. “Will Nicky be alright with you two for now?”

“Of course, Liz. Thank you for watching him,” I replied to her. “Have a goodnight.”

“Happy Birthday Cassius.” She smiled and then left the room.

“They are so tiny,” Nick was now lying in between Jemma and I. He was looked back and forth at the babies.

“You are the big brother now, Nicky. This is Malcolm, your little brother,” Jemma explained and then indicated Daisy. “That is Daisy, your little sister.”

“They are cute,” Nick said out loud.

He nestled down in between us. I couldn’t be happier than I was at this moment with all three of my children and my mate. I would give my life to keep them all safe from harm. It didn’t take long for Nick to fall asleep. I placed the twins in a cradle together and rolled it next to the bed. They both fell asleep in each other’s arms. Jemma had told me that is a twin thing. I lay back down on the bed and took Nick and Jemma in my arms, and fell into the most peaceful sleep of my life.
