chapter 171
The Queen of witches sighed as she turned to Anastasia.
“You shouldn't meddle in their life, Anastasia" She muttered as she walked over to her altar and Anastasia immediately followed her.
“They need our help. I can't just wash everything unfold without even helping them once, can I? What kind of friend does that make me?" The Queen of witches tilted her head.
“You do know that if she was meant to die along with the children and you save her, you might lose your powers right? Saving someone's life is not what we spell witches do" Anatasia frowned.
"Okay but what if I get my hands on one of those healing witches?" The Queen of witches scoffed. “I have never seen them and you think you can? You are welcome to try though" Anastasia sighed. “But if I manage to find one, then will you help me out?" The Queen of witches stared at her for a while then sighed
"If you can find a healer witch, I'll help you but if you don't, You'd let Alpha Zane and his girl do this on their own, got it? I'm just looking out for you, Anastasia. Of course you can help her relieve her pains but you can't save her life" Anastasia frowned then bowed her head.
“I'll be on my way now" Then she vanished.
The Doctor finished examining Kiara then sighed as he turned to Zane.
“She's fine, she just needs to rest more and she should please stop stressing herself, it won't be good for her condition” Zane furrowed his eyebrows.
“Didn't you hear the way she screamed? That didn't sound like she was fine" The doctor sighed again.
"Sadly, those pains are going to get worse till she finally gives birth. You just have to stay with her and help her breathe thoroughly till the pain passes. Also..." The doctor muttered as he reached into his pocket and pulled out something before handing it to Zane.
“Rub this on her stomach every night. It's a cooling gel and might help with the pain. This is the most I can do for now. Please excuse me" He muttered then walked out of the room.
“I can't believe she's having twins now" Heather muttered as she slowly walked towards the bed and sat down.
“You guys have super hearing or whatever, right? Aren't you supposed to be able to hear their heartbeats?" Levi questioned with pure confusion on his face.
“It seems like her wolf is either concealing their heartbeats or Kiara is doing so subconsciously" Zane muttered as he walked towards the night stand and placed the cooling gel on it.
He sighed tiredly as he dragged her palm along his face.
“It's going to be okay, alright?" Levi tried calming Zane down but just got a scoff in return. “Nothing is going to be okay, Levi. The doctor said she has an even lesser chance of surviving with the babies and Kiara won't..." Zane groaned loudly with his head in his hand before plopping down on the couch behind him.
"Are we really going to let her go through with this? I don't have a good feeling about this, Zane" Heather muttered as she drew soothing circles on Kiara's palm.
“I really just want this to be over. I just... I'm so tired" Zane muttered softly as he covered his eyes with his hand. He was conflicted.
He didn't know if he should follow his heart or his mind. His heart was telling him to believe in Kiara and trust that she could save herself and their babies but his mind was telling him that that was going to be impossible. It was twins for crying out loud!
“Maybe you should lay down and rest? You haven't rested properly ever since she woke up, Zane. You need to be at your best if you plan on helping Kiara" Levi muttered, making Zane sigh.
“Can you both leave? I'd like to think" Heather nodded as she slowly stood up from the bed. “Please tell me if she has woken up, okay? She needs all the emotional support she can get right now" Heather muttered.
"What about you? How's your own pregnancy?” Zane asked softly before she could walk out. She turned around and smiled at him as she rubbed her belly.
"It's coming along fine, thankfully. Thanks for asking” He nodded then turned back to Kiara while she and Levi took that as a cue to leave.
Zane stood up from the couch then walked over to Kiara's bed and sat down. He caressed her cheek then placed a kiss on her lips.
“I love you so much, Kiara. I hope you'll forgive me for not being the sort of emotional support you need right now but I'm... I guess I'm not as strong as I used to think. Everything that's happening now is weighing down on me and for the first time, I don't know what to do or how to help you" He muttered then let out a sigh.
“You don't have to help me with anything. Just stay by my side and support me" His eyes widened slightly as Kiara murmured before opening her eyes to glance at him.
"Hey" He murmured softly and she smiled while reaching up to touch his hand that was on her face. "Hey" His eyes darted towards her stomach and he caressed it with his free hand.
“Does it still hurt?" She shook her head.
“No, the pain is gone now" He nodded slightly.
"And how painful was it?" She pursed her lips.
“It felt like my insides were being torn apart. I couldn't bear the pain” He pursed his lips then grabbed onto her hand and gave it a light squeeze.
"Kiara..." Just then, Anastasia appeared in the room with a smile on her face.
“I can help you guys" They both turned towards her with wide eyes.
"Help us with what?" Zane questioned.
“I can help Kiara deliver her Babies soundly but all I have to do is find a healer witch” Anastasia muttered earning a scoff from Zane.
“Those witches are extinct. How do you expect to find them exactly?" She rolled her eyes.
“Can you guys stop underestimating me and they are not extinct, they are just good at hiding. If I'm able to find one then you and Kiara have nothing to worry about” Kiara smiled then turned to Zane. “And If you can't? What then?” Zane asked.
“I'll still do whatever I can" Even if that meant losing her powers...
