I had to admit, seeing Nikki sweating and looking like she was in intense pain gave me pause for my own delivery. But Nikki also looked like she was the happiest person in the world right now so it seemed to be a good trade off. She was such a sweet and caring person, I just knew she was going to be a wonderful mother.
Griffin checked her again and said she was fully dilated and one hundred percent effaced, it was time for her to push.
I held her hand and coached her through the pushes and breathing like I had been practicing to do for the last couple weeks. I counted to ten for her with each push and rubbed small circles on her back to help her relax in between them. During all this Noah paced the room from the other side and looked like he was about to simultaneously wear a tread in the floor and float away from glee at the same time. He was such a nervous wreck and a happy expectant father all at the same time. He was adorable to watch.
After about fifteen minutes of some really intense and painful looking pushes I heard Griffin’s excited voice.
“It’s out.” He said happily. “It’s a boy.” We already knew that it was going to be a boy, but he confirmed it for us as he clamped off the cord. “Are you going to cut the cord Noah?” He asked him.
Noah mumbled some sort of gibberish as he walked hesitantly forward. He was nervous, but he managed to do his job properly. Once the cord was cut Lana wrapped the baby in a hospital blanket and took him to be cleaned up and measured. Noah was hugging Nikki and wiping sweat off her forehead while the baby was being cleaned up, it was a heartwarming sight.
About ten minutes later, Lana brought the baby back over and handed him to Nikki. I saw the tears in Nikki’s eyes as she looked down at his tiny round and pink face.
“Hi baby. Hi Elias, I’m your mommy.” She cried, the tears streaming happily down her cheeks.
“Hey little man.” Noah cooed at him. This was such a beautiful sight and I was happy I was here to see it.
Nikki handed the baby to Noah, who bounced him in his arms for a few minutes, staring at his adorable face. Then, Noah came over to me and handed him to me.
“Here you go buddy, meet your Aunt Riviana. She’s going to be there for you a lot.” Noah smiled as he slipped the baby into my arms. I nearly started to cry at his words.
“Hi Elias, I’m your Auntie Riviana. I love you so much already.” I smiled down at him, my vision blurring slightly for just a moment as a tear formed in each eye and then began to streak down my cheeks. He was so adorable, and he looked just like Noah with a head full of dark brown hair. I just wanted to hold him forever, but I knew I had to give him back to Nikki soon enough. With a little kiss to his forehead I handed him back, letting him take a small piece of my heart with him.

“Alpha, we’ve finally found where he’s hiding.” One of my deltas, Kyle, had just returned from a meeting with some allies of ours that was helping me to locate a traitorous shitbag.
“Where is he Kyle?” I demanded.
“He’s hiding in the mountains in Tennessee. It seems like he has some very distant relatives in that area that we didn’t know about at first.”
“Good, we’ll leave right away.” I started toward my office door, ready to head home and prepare for this journey.
“Yes, Sir.” I knew that Kyle would notify the right members of my pack to let them know of our travel plans. Delivering messages was his job after all.
I had been waiting for this moment. For almost two months now I had been looking for this fucking scumbag. This worthless piece of shit that considered himself an alpha but turned his back on his own kind and aided in the attack on another pack. Who the fuck did he think he was?
I may be a world class asshole that doesn’t like most people but even I wouldn’t try to deliberately destroy another pack just so I could get their land. That was idiocy. And to attack the largest pack in the damn country, seriously. That man must have had a death wish.
And, to make matters worse, he brought that fight of his to my territory. He crossed my boundaries and put my people in danger. He had to pay. There was no way around it. He was going to pay, with his life.
I decided it was best to drive to Tennessee to track Stanley down. I planned on bringing home some souvenirs and I didn’t need to get caught by TSA. It would be a little hard to explain why my luggage was dripping blood on the return flight. Nope, driving it was.
It took a few days of driving through the mountains, but I eventually made it to the little hick town that Stanley was supposed to be hiding in. I caught his scent the moment I got within ten miles of the town. There was no mistaking the scent of a cowardly asshole.
I hadn’t even been in town for an hour when I found where he was cowering, hiding while holed up in some backwoods cabin with no electricity. He probably thought that if he stayed in this place long enough, Joaquin and I would forget about him. Like Joaquin would forget that he had aided Edmond in fighting against the Red Springs Pack, and like I would forget that he had crossed into and fouled up my territory with his vile stench.
I stomped my way to the cabin’s front door. Stanley must have known I was coming. When I kicked the door in I saw him cowering in a corner, nearly shaking with fear.
“Hey there fuckface.” I smiled at him. “Been waiting for me long?” I saw him flinch at my words. He knew he was beat but there was no back door that he could have escaped from. There was only the front door and two front windows. Any attempt at escaping would have put him into my hands anyway. If he was a smarter man he would have realized that he was a werewolf and this was a wooden cabin, he could have broken down a wall to escape. But we were talking about a brain dead, spineless twit, he wouldn’t have been smart enough for that.
“Leave me alone Bryce, I’ve got no beef with you.” He was trying to sound tough as he shook in fear. “I-I don’t want to have to hurt you.” He was really putting on a show for me.
“You? Hurt me? Don’t make me fucking laugh Stanley. The day that you could beat me is the day I fucking dropped dead ten minutes before the fight started.”
“I’m younger than you.”
“What the fuck does that prove?” I growled at him.
“I’m younger so I’m stronger.” He seemed to be getting more confident. “I-I thought it was going to be Joaquin that found me, not an old has been like you.”
“If you think I am so easy to beat then you shouldn’t be cowering like a little girl in the fucking corner.”
“I’m not cowering.” He yelled at me.
“Yeah, right. And I am the queen of fucking England. If you were shaking anymore you’d cause a tsunami in Japan.”
“Fuck you Bryce.” He ground out through his clenched teeth. “This is why everyone hates you. You think you’re better than everyone else and you’re a fucking asshole to boot.”
“Awe, don’t be like that Stanley, you’ll hurt my feelings.” I chuckled at him to let him know that I was unfazed.
