Kael's POV
These days, I barely slept at night.
Whenever Eira stayed in my room, all my attention remained on her. If we were not mating, she would sleep like a baby, only whining occasionally as the child moved within her.
The day we had been waiting for, and at the same time fearing it, had finally arrived.
"Ahh…" she whimpered in her sleep.
I was up in an instant.
"What happened?" I asked, trying to understand whether it was labor pain or just the baby's restless movements.
"Hurts…" she murmured, her voice strained. Then suddenly, she cried out, "I think… it's time…"
My heart skipped.
I immediately mind-linked my brothers. They had been alert these past days, just like me.
Within moments, they rushed into the room, making way for Jason to reach her first. He checked her while the rest stood there, tense and waiting.
Her pain was escalating quickly.
"Eira, don't worry," Jason said calmly.
