Chapter 31 Chapter 36 Valencias POV Mother and child ? I repeated , staring at Raiden , my voice bardy a whisper . DOSE Raiden nodded , his expression grave . To be completely honest its a miracle you survived the birthing process . A wolfs or a humans body isnt made to birth eggs , and yet you did . Now , Im sure youve already felt the connection with your egg ? I glanced down at the precious egg nestled securely in my lap . Its shell shimmered faintly under the soft glow of the rooms lights . That connection the invisible thread between us was undeniable . I nodded . Thats because your lifeline is tethered to it , Raiden explained , his voice steady but weighted . If something happens to the egg , you will be in danger . My stomach churned , anxiety pooling in my chest . What if I get sick or hurt instead ? I asked , the thought making me tremble slightly , Raiden shook his head . That r the child . The connection is primarily one sided in that sense . The child can survive without the mother , but if something happens to the egg He paused . The mother will suffer the consequences . Sometimes irreparably . The thought gave my solacé . It meant that if something happened to my egg then I would die alongside him . And if something ended up happening to me , my baby could still live long and healthy life . I stared at the egg , my heart thudding dully in my chest . Thats good , I murmured quietly . Dantes sharp voice cut through the air . Good ?! His bloodshot eyes glared at the egg as though it had personally offended him My protective instincts flared immediately . Hugging the egg tighter , I snapped , Dont scare him ! The egg trembled faintly , as though responding to my words . Dantes glare softened , but the tension in his posture remained . From across the room , Calus snorted . His amusement was short lived as the rooms collective glares settled on him . Raiden sighed , gesturing for everyone to leave . Its late . We should all rest for now . Tomorrow , well discuss what needs to be done moving forward . As the room cleared , I remained seated on the bed , my grip still brm around the egg . Dante lingered behind , his arms crossed as he leaned against the doorframe . Youre not leaving ? I asked , trying to keep the irritation out of my voice . This is my room , Valencia , Dante said matter of factly , his tone bordering on amused . Of course Im staying . I pulled myself off the bed only to be stopped by his looming figure in front of me parthing me back down I groaned , feeling an unexplainable sense of irritatioh bubbling up within me . Your body hasnt completely healed . Its safer for you to stay with me …. My heart fluttered , remembering what had happened earlier . Though his memories were fragmented due to me going in and out of consciousness , the feeling of his warm skin against mine was vivid . I wasnt completely sure what hed done , but i knew that hed healed me 1/3 66 % Chapter 36 In my adrenaline rush earlier I hadnt realized how much I had bed while..laying the egg . And only later , once I had calmed down , did I realize that I didnt even have the energy to keep my eyes open . I I looked at his ocean blue eyes filled with sincerity and the apprehension I had felt carlier bled our of me slowly. I sighed , Without another word , I placed the egg between us on the bed like a barrier , Fine . But dont cross this line . Dante raised a brow , his gaze flicking to the egg before settling on me. Youre putting our child between us as a boundary ? Yes, I said firmly , refusing to back down . A moment later , I yelped as Dante moved swiftly , flipping me over and pulling me snug against his chest . The egg floated to the side , seemingly unaffected by his actions . You dont get to make the rules here , he murmured against my ear , his tone low and possessive , Butterflies fluttered in the pit of my stomach and I felt my face heat up against my will . Well , whats the worst that could happen ? Couldnt I let my guard down for just one night ? I huffed in frustration , finally making a decision . I had thought I wouldnt be able to sleep with someone sleeping so close to me but exhaustion quickly overtook me . There was a niggling feeling in my chest that I was forgetting something important . But despite my annoyance ; Dantes warmth was oddly comforting . Hugging the egg tightly , I soon fell asleep . When I woke , the bed beside me was empty . I looked up and around the massive bedroom . A ware of panic surged through me when I realized the egg was gone . My heart raced as I bolted upright , scanning the room frantically . No … no , no , no . The air felt too cold , the marble floor beneath my bare feet sending chills up my spine as I stumbled toward the door . Throwing it open , I sprinted into the hallway . Dante ! I shouted my voice echoing off the grand walls . A maid rushed toward me , her face etched with concern . Miss , you shouldnt- Wheres Dante ? I demanded , cutting her off . And where is my baby ? Before she could answer , heavy footsteps sounded behind me . Dante appeared , his expression a mix of anger and concern . Without a word , he scooped me up , cradling me in his arms as though I weighed nothing What the hell were you thinking ? he snapped , his voice low but harsh . Running around barefoot on cold marble like Where is he ? Wheres my baby ? I asked , ignoring his scolding He carried me to a different room , kicking the door open to reveal a large, circular glass cot positioned beside the bed It was covered with intricate carvings and faintly glowed , radiating a getitle warmth . Inside was the egg . I blinked , relief washing over me , but it was quickly replaced by anger . You could have told me ! You were sleeping . Dante said , his tone clipped . So you just got up and took my child without even telling me ?! He stared at me , his expression deadpan Hes my child too , you know . I opened my mouth to argue further , but the arrival of a butler interrupted us . 2/3 14:49 Tue , Jan 14 GO Chapter 36 Dante ordered for the glass cot to be bought as he walked out of the room and back to our room . Ε Put me down , I said , but he didnt listen immediately , only setting me down on the silk bedsheet of the king sized bed . The cot was slowly carried by two butlers and set right beside the bed and the tension in my chest eased as I moved closer and rested my palm against the warm outer shell . I smiled softly as I felt the egg shake slowly , Good morning As the butlers left the room a maid entered and my smile froze . She entered the room carrying a familiar wedding dress draped over her arm . My breath hitched at the sight , panic gripping me like a vice . Memories of my past life flooded my mind . What is that ? I asked , my voice barely above a whisper . Dante frowned , his brows knitting together . Its your wedding dress . My heart pounded violently against my ribs. Why ? Did you forget ? Dante asked , his torfe calm but firm . Youre going to marry ine . I shook my head , my voice trembling . But you said you dont force marriage on Omegas . Dantes lips curled into a dangerous smile , his golden eyes glinting . But you arent just any Omega , are you ? Youre the mother of my child now . Of course , I will marry you The finality in his words made my stomach churn . I felt trapped , my breath coming in shallow gasps . 1 Dantes smile faded as he noticed the fear in my expression . He pursed under his breath , running a hand through his dark hair . Am I really that abhorrent to you ? Tears pricked at the corners of my eyes . I- , I stammered , shaking my head . It wasnt him . It was the memories , the fear of history repeating itself . Dantes jaw tightened , his voice low and resolute . Well , it doesnt matter . Even if you hate me now .. you are mine His words hung heavily in the air , leaving no room for argument The wedding is at eight . Be ready by seven . He turned and walked out , leaving me to stare after him , my heart pounding in my chest .
