Avery’s pov


    If I had not been in so much pain, her rmed ghostly face would have me panic but my full attention was on the pain I felt and the distress of thinking something was wrong with my baby.


    She is, “Xadeon replied to her, eyeing her with a look of contemtion and suspicion.” Why? Disgusted at the fact?”


    Dad,” Xade hissed low in warning, flickering his eyes briefly to his father.


    The room seems to grow tenser and it’s suffocating enough to urge me to ease it, not only for my good but for everyone. “Mom,” I murmur, gritting my teeth as another wave of pain shoots through my body intensely.


    She snaps her eyes to mine, her face still ashen of color. “I am not disgusted,” she responds to Xadeon’s suspicion. “I am terrified for my daughter who was born human,” she stresses on the word human and looks at Xadeon firmly. ” You and I both know this is rare and even unheard of.”


    Xadeon’s eyes narrow and the tension grows more intense by the second. What will be of my daughter? Are you certain she will be okay?” Mom pushes and Xadeon tears his eyes away. Mom’s narrowed. ” So you are unsure if she will be okay?”


    Fay,” Xade utters gently. “Perhaps we will speak of this after the doctor gets here. I don’t want Avery stressed,” even though his voice was gentle and respectful, it still was firm and warning.


    Mom’s eyes narrowed.


    A sharp gasp from my throat made Xade return his attention to me, palming my stomach tenderly as his eyes skim over my face in worry. “Is it getting worse? Where does it hurt?” he says with urgency, snapping his neck to look at Xadeon. “Where is that damn pack doctor?!”

    His attention draws away from his father andnds back on me, his eyes deep with concern and pain. ” Just hold on a little while longer baby,” he whispers, voice cracking. His worry was evident and was growing mine.


    I didn’t like it when I was the one worrying him. I swallowed, my throat parched.Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.


    How much longer?” Xade hissed at his father not a secondter, his eyes turning red with anger. Xadeon’s frustration grows and the room once more blossoms with heated anger. I didn’t want them to argue.


    Xade,” I whisper, grasping for his hand. My hands shook and he hisses in shock, turning to me with eyes wide with confusion and terror.


    He grips my hand in a tight steel like, shocking me with the firm grip but his next words made me grow uncertain. ” Your hands are freezing baby,”


    I am about to reply to him when I felt a warmth gush between my legs. I clench my thighs tightly, my heart leaping in my throat as my eyes drop to them in fear.


    Xade’s nose red as he took in a breath, eyes shifting with fear that clutched my very own breath. “Is that the scent of blood?!”
