Chapter 193
Hardin’S POV
Even after telling mum the good news of our victory, she is still mad at me and wouldn’t talk to me, but I’m not worried, because I know she is going to come around.
I am her favorite soon, she can’t handle staying mad at me.
Meanwhile, right now, Reign and I are preparing to attend the victory celebration that’s already going on in the castle right now.
The women did a great job organizing this party in less than no time and from what I have seen out there, it’s going to be a blast.
Alpha Damien and the other Alphas who had nothing to do with the war are present and I can’t wait to address them all.
Tonight is going to be a blast.
“Hey” Reign greets casually as she approaches me. She has on her pyjamas already and is about to go to bed.
She’s too tired to attend the party and I’m more than happy to have her stay behind and rest.
The last thing I want is her stressing herself.
“Hey baby” I call as I kiss her lips.
“Can you please not go?” She asks naughtily.
“Babe, I wish I didn’t have to go, but you know I have to. There’s a lot important people out there I have to address”
“Are they more important than us?”
“What? Of course not, baby? Why would you even say that?”
“I just want you to stay”
“Okay, I’m going to head right back after the formal introductions are over. How does that sound?”
“I’m going to miss you”
Then she bursts into tears and I get totally confused.
I want to stay, I badly want to stay but I can’t.
Ugh!
This pregnancy is doing justice to me right now.
Why the hell is she even crying right now.
“Baby, baby please don’t so this.”
“I just miss you… and… and.. I wanna cuddle in your arms. Is that too much to ask”
“No it’s not my love. I promise you once I get back, we are going to cuddle all you want. All I need is one hour to address everyone and I will be back for you. I promise!” I plead and she looks up at me with tears still streaming down her cheeks.
“You promise?”
“I promise baby, I will be back in an hours…”
“Ouch!” She suddenly screams as she holds her waist and that raises all the nerves in my body. I look at her totally terrified and as she bows her head down and cries in silence.
“You alright baby?”
“My back hurts… ouch!” She screams yet again, this time louder and that’s when it hits me.
She is in labor.
I carefully lead her to bed where she sits on it and I swear I get totally confused at this moment. I walk helter-skelter about the bedroom, confused on whether to call the pack doctor come over or to take her there myself.
“Hardin!” she screams and rush over to her.
“Yes love”
“I think… I think my water juts broke. Babe the baby iscoming”
“Shit!” I curse as I scoop her up from the bed into my arms and dash out of the bedroom.
“Miguel!” I call through mind link as I sprint across the corridor with Reign in my arms.
“Yes, Hardin. Why the hell do you sound like you are running”
“Where are you?” I ask impatiently.
“Outside that castle”
“Good, prepare any of the cars. Kira is in labor.”
“Oh boy! I’m on it!” I instantly break the mind link and keep sprinting, this time around, down the staircase. The guests who are drinking and enjoying themselves go still when they see me approaching with screaming Reign in my arms.
Kol comes from nowhere in the crowd and leads the way outside.
As we step outside, a red car stops before us and Kol hastily opens the car door and I gently place Reign in it. Once we are all in and settled, Miguel takes off at the speed of light to the pack hospital.
Reign’s panting completely sets me on the edge and I swear I hate to see her in so much pain.
I wish this gets over soon.
But guys, this means in a few hours time I will be holding my son in my arms. The long awaited Alpha is almost here and boy, I’m excited.
I can’t wait to see him.
I have fantasized a lot about this day and now that it had come, I don’t know how to act.
“Hardin” Reign calls panting and I hold her hands in mind and kisses them. “It hurts” She cries in agony and my heart shatters in a million pieces.
“I know baby, but it’s going to be just for a while. You have to be strong for our son, my love, I know you can do this.”
I encourage and she just keeps crying and breathing hard. That only makes Miguel drive faster.
Once we get to the hospital, Kol bolts out of the car and rushes into the hospital to get nurses while I scoop Reign in my arms, out of the car and rush to the door of the hospital. Once the stretcher arrives, I carefully place get on it and she holds my hand tight.
“Please don’t leave me.”
“I won’t, baby, I won’t!” I follow the nurses pushing the stretcher and when we to the door of the delivery room, they stop and turn to look at me.
“No! I’m not leaving her, I’m not letting her go in there alone”
“Yes Alpha, we just want you to get ready first, please come go with the nurse” They plead and I obey. I follow the nurse who takes me to another room where I am given a hideous blue hospital gown to wear and a matching cap which makes me look like a clown.
She then leads me into the labor room where I meet Reign already dressed in the same blue outfit. The moment she sets her eyes on me, she stretches her hand forward for me to hold which I gladly do and kiss them both with all my affection.
I love this girl and the fact that she is about to bring forth my son only makes me love her all the more.
I swear to the moon goddess, watching Reign push out our son is going to be the best experience so far.
The moment I heard my son cry, I felt like I was reborn and everything was new.
The excitement was so unexplainable that I could hardly even talk.
The congratulations came in from all ends and the victory party now automatically turned into a welcome party for our son, the future Alpha.
The subjects were so eager to see their heir that we gad to beg them to wait for morning to come.
The guys sang on my head almost all night and mum totally forgot about our little fuel and just showering me with kisses.
I swear this is the best experience ever.
Seeing Reign holding our son actually brought me to tears before everyone. Kol and Miguel already made me understand that that they would taunt me for that for as long as I live.
Some jerks they are!
So far so good, everything has worked in my favor and I am very grateful to the moon goddess for bringing me to this level.
I found my mate, I won the Elemental battle, I found a lost brother and made some really good new friends and right now , we have a son, who happens to be the future heir of the Wall Street Pack.
What more can I ask?
I walk into Reign’s ward and meet her sleeping peacefully on the bed with the baby sleeping the cot next to her bed. I walk over to the cut where I stare at my little munchkin for a lot of minutes and smile.
He is a mini-me, but I love the fact he has got his mother’s lips.
I can’t wait for the time when the girls will start chasing after him, I can’t wait to whoop his ass, I can’t wait to experience the moments when he’s going to make me proud.
I look forward to experiencing everything about fatherhood.
I gentle lie on the bed and scoop Reign in my arms. This is first time I’m actually holding her this close because the guys kept stealing me away.
“You are here” She whispers with a calm voice and plant a soft kiss on her forehead.
“Yes I am.”
“You’re not leaving again, right?”
“No I’m not”
“I like the sound of that” She snuggles closer to me and I close my eyes as I feel my heart beat violently in my chest.
She always has this effect on me!
“Have you decided on a name yet?” She asks calmly and I smile.
“Yes I have”
“I’d to hear it my love”
“They will call him Aiden, meaning “little fire”. His zeal to rule his people will always burn like fire and he will be just as great as his ancestors. The girls are going to fall very hard for him.”
“Really Hardin?”
“Yeah, because he is going to be just as handsome as his father” I brag and she just shakes her head and lays back on my chest.
“I like the name Aiden. Aiden Colton, powerful!”
“Congratulations mummy Aiden.”
“Congratulations Daddy Aiden”
We wish each other and go silent. In less than no time, sleep takes over me and I have the most beautiful dream ever!
