Chapter 202: Chapter 202
Aaron Pov's
.
I closed my eyes to calm myself, knowing it was not my Pearl who was talking to me like this but a mother who was worried for her girl.
"At least she is letting out her inner turmoil in the form of anger. If she would have gone silent then you know how difficult it would be to handle her?" Rex muttered. I nod my head agreeing with him and look at my mate who is feeding milk to Love through a bottle. She was shivering in fear and I could feel she was on edge of having a panic attack but she is trying her best to control her emotions for our pups.
"Marry, take Love in your arms. her hands are trembling" I muttered in fear Love would not accidentally fall out of her hands. Aana gives Love to Marry without arguing and then looks at me with teary eyes.
"Pearl" I pulled her into my arms.
"Leave me" She growled and started struggling to get out of my arms but I tightened my grip around her waist, not letting her go.
"Leave me!" She yelled.
"We will find her, Pearl… Nothing will happen to her but I need your support." She broke into tears upon hearing me.
"My Emma, Aaron... Please do something.. Please… That monster kidnapped her… Please do something" She yelled while crying. I closed my eyes, trying to stay strong.
"Nothing will happen to her. we will" I stopped in mid when I heard a pup crying. I look at Love who is drinking milk quietly.
"She is here only" Aana looked at me shockingly.
"I and Rex can hear her sobs" I muttered. Aana and I again started looking for Emma in the palace. I was checking a room when I heard Aana call our princess's name.
"Emma" she was looking through the window. I went near her and followed her gaze only to find Emma playing with Vince in the garden covered in mud because of which we couldn't smell her scent. Rose was sitting beside them to look after them. I took a relief breath when I finally saw my princess safe and happy. I quickly held Aana through her waist as her legs wobbled.
"She is in the garden, that's why we couldn't smell her," I muttered. Aana looked at my side and then closed her eyes before taking a deep breath. She opens her eyes when I kiss her forehead.
"Emma" she removed my hand from her waist and ran towards the garden. I followed her.
"Luna" Rose greeted her but got a slap in response.
"Pearl" I pulled Aana away from Rose when she was about to slap her again.
"Leave me, Aaron. How dare she touch my pup without asking me?" She growled. I encircled my hand around Aana's waist and tightened my grip when she started using Alice's power to get near her.
"Pearl.. Please calm down.. she didn't mean to harm our princess." I said.
"No, Aaron. I won't calm down.. at least not before killing this bitch" she yelled.
"Rose" Patrick ran near Rose and came between her and Aana, protecting her as a shield. "I apologise to you on behalf of her, Luna… Please forgive her"
"Patrick moved back" She commanded him, using her Alpha power. He nodded his head negatively despite feeling pain for not obeying the werewolf's queen.
"Fine.. then suffer with her" My eyes widened when Aana started realising her aura. Emma started throwing the blood as she was beta by blood while Patrick's condition was also not so good.
"Pearl..Please calm down" I was trying my best to calm her through mate bond but nothing was working until she heard our princess sobs. All her anger vanished when Emma called her "Mommy". she immediately cooled off and turned her head towards Emma who was crying.
"Mommy" Emma raised her little hand towards Aana who was crying after seeing her healthy and safe. Aana ignored everything and ran towards Emma.
"My princess" she started kissing all over Emma's face after taking her into her arms, to assure herself she was safe.
"Are you fine?" Patrick asked Rose, cupping her face. She nodded her head and looked at my side.
"I'm sorry, Alpha. I didn't know that Luna would get upset if I took Rose with me but believe me Alpha, I didn't have any bad intentions. I was playing with Vince when I saw Emma coming out of the palace crawling. After that Vince and Emma started playing with each other. that's why I didn't disturb them and sat beside them to look after them" I sighed, realising it was not her fault… Both of my pups are stronger and intelligent in comparison to the pups of their age. Emma easily learned how to climb downstairs and started crawling in the entire palace while Love did smart work, he just indicated where he wanted to go instead of crawling and giving trouble to his knees. Only I and Aana know how we handle both of them.
"It's not your fault, Rose but ours. Aana And I are very well aware of our pups' habits. Still, we got worried. Maybe because we both are anxious regarding our pups' safeties. I mind we already thought that something bad would happen" I said and looked at my girl who attacked Emma with her chest in fear that someone would snatch her pup away from her.
"Patrick take Rose and Vince with you and ask the doctor to treat your mate" I said and went near Aana who was shivering and crying in fear.
"Pearl" she looked at me.
"Give Emma to me." She shook her head negatively and turned her face in another direction. "you're shivering, Pearl" I muttered helplessly but she didn't let me take Emma. I can't even take Emma forcefully because it will only worsen Aana's situation.
I was looking at my mate with teary eyes when I felt a hand over my shoulder. I turned and found Marry who was looking at Aana with tears-filled eyes while holding Love in her arms.
"Don't worry... A mother will never let her child get hurt." I nod my head and take Love into my arms who is crying after seeing her mother and sister in tears.
"They are fine, Love. Please don't cry" I said, tapping on his back.
"I understand, Pearl, you don't want to give Emma to anyone but at least we can go to our room." Tears rolled from my eyes when she didn't respond to me. "Try to understand… It's cold over here. our pups will catch cold" She looks at my side for a few seconds and then nods her head.
She started walking ahead without waiting for me. After entering the room she sat on the bed and wiped Emma's tears lovingly.
"I'm sorry, princess… Mommy scared you but you also didn't do right. You have no idea how scared I was when I didn't find you in the room. I was feeling like my heart would stop beating anytime with the thought of someone kidnapping you. Please never play this stunt again." Aana sobbed, attaching Emma to her chest. Emma stopped crying after hearing her and looked at me as if she was understanding everything or maybe she did. I looked at Love who was crying continuously to go into Aana's arms.
"Love is crying for you, Pearl" I waited for her response but she was not in her senses. I started trying to calm him.
"Please Love, don't cry. My heart was already twitching after seeing your mother in this condition. If you and Emma also start crying then how would I handle her? Please become my strength and help me instead of exacerbating it." He immediately stopped crying upon hearing him leaving me stunned. I looked at him and then my girl who was moving her little hand in Aana's hair as I did when she hugged me. Maybe they actually understand our feelings, words and emotions.
"Thank you" I said and kissed Love's forehead then made him sit on a swing and then gave him his milk bottle. He lay down and started drinking milk like a good boy of Aana. I picked another milk bottle which Marry brought a while before and went towards Aana. She looked at me and then turned in another direction to feed Emma directly. I sighed and sat on the bed.
"Could you bring the injection which Ryan told us to give Aana if she had any panic attacks?" I asked Patrick through mindlink.
"Give me five minutes, Alpha" I broke the mindlink and looked at my girl who was crying and quivering.
"Please give me strength, the moon goddess. I can't see her like this."
"I'm standing outside with the injection you asked for" Patrick mindlink me. I stood up and went outside of the room. He handed me the injection and hugged me.
"Everything will be fine," He said, tapping on my back. I nodded my head after breaking the hug and then went inside.
After feeding Emma, Aana lay down with her on the bed as Emma slept while drinking milk. I took the injection and held Aana's hand. She looked at me.
"You're having a panic attack, Pearl" Her eyes widened with my words. She was so scared for Emma that she didn't even realise she was having a panic attack.
Tears rolled from my eyes when I saw her face which turned red because of lack of oxygen and she was shivering and sweating at the same time. I lay down beside her, hugging her from behind while she was holding Emma in her arms.
"Don't worry, she will be fine" Rex said, trying to encourage me despite being in pain after seeing our mate like this. I wiped my tears and nodded my head. I move closer to Aana and inhale her scent which always calms me. I chuckled at the irony. She can make me vulnerable and only she can heal me. I become helpless when it comes to her and at the same time, she is my strength to fight with every difficulty. I bow in front of her and at the same time, I can burn the world for her. She is my everything...
I looked at Aana when I heard her snoring. She slept because of the effect of the injection. My eyes went to my princess who was looking at Aana. It seems like my princess woke up early today but what surprised me is that she didn't disturb Aana even for once. I remove Aana's hand from her stomach carefully and place a pillow in place of Emma.
I look at my princess who gave me a toothy smile that brought a smile to my face. I kissed her forehead and took her to the washroom to wash her face and hands that were covered in mud then changed her clothes.
All the time Emma was talking to me in her baby language which was hard for me to understand but I kept replying to her as per my understanding. We both kept playing and talking until she slept in my arms. Somewhere she calms the storm inside me like her mother does with her presence. I smiled and made her lay down beside Aana then I checked on Love who was sleeping in the swing. I removed the bottle nip from his mouth and kissed his forehead before picking him up in my arms. I made him lay beside Emma.
I lay down on the other side of the bed and stared at my family lovingly. Both the pups are sleeping between me and Aana. I took a deep breath to control my emotions.
"Everything is fine, Aaron" Rex mindlink me. Only he can feel and understand what I'm going through.
"Until when?"
"I didn't get you"
"How long Aana and I will live in fear, Rex, that one day Alexander will come and harm our pups. Today was our pups' first birthday and because of our fear everything got destroyed. My family was almost shattered in front of my eyes. Thankfully, Emma was saved but if"
"Don't" Rex growled, interrupting me. "I won't let anything happen to our pups"
"It's enough, Rex. Now we have to find that bastard and end this story." He nodded his head, agreeing with me. I looked at my mate who was sleeping peacefully.
"After a year, she had a panic attack and again it was because of that bastard. I don't even know what I will do to that asshole once I catch him." Rex growled. I shook my head negatively.
"We won't do anything, Rex. It will be Aana who will punish him and take her revenge." He didn't say anything in reply and sat on the ground. I sighed and looked at my pups. A smile appeared on my face, remembering how well they supported me in taking care of their mother. I was staring at my family lovingly until my eyelids became heavy and darkness consumed me.
