    Enzo’s POV


    My adrenaline was going insane. In just a few moments, that door at the start of the chapel was going to open and L would start walking. I was finally going to marry my mate. I was going to surprise herter with a Luna ceremony as well.


    Selene made her way down the aisle, and she had an eager look on her face as she smiled up at me. I returned to her smile and watched as she sat in the front row on L’s side of the temple. Her side consisted of most of the Nova pack members and my side consisted of the Calypso pack members.

    I gazed down at my mother who also sat in the front row, and she gave me arge smile with tears in her eyes. I smiled in return and squared my shoulders.


    Soon, the doors swung open, and the music started to y.


    Brianna and Ethan began to walk slowly down the aisle with the beat of the music, but I wasn’t paying attention to them anymore. The others who were supposed to be following them through the doors weren’t following them. Something else had caught their attention, preventing them from walking through the temple doors.


    Soon, Ethan and Brianna realized this as well and had stopped walking. Ethan was quick to start running in the direction that they came from, and Brianna lookedpletely panicked.From N?velDrama.Org.


    The sounds of the gasping sounded around the temp as everything wondered what was going on and what could have gone wrong.


    My heart felt like it weighed a thousand times.


    Everything happened at once as I ran from my spot in the front of the temple and toward the doorway. I ignored my mother yelling from behind me; my main focus was getting to my mate because I knew something had happened. She was in pain, and she needed to get help as soon as possible.


    I burst through the doors and shoved my way through the gathering of people until I finally reached my mate. She was crouched on the ground with tears washing over her features. Connie and Tyler were trying to keep her awake while Alpha Bastien worked on getting an ambnce.


    My entire body went cold as I stared down at my mate who was shivering and wincing at the pain, she was in. She was holding onto her stomach with dear life and whimpering slightly as more pain coursed through her small image.


    I knelt beside her and scooped her into my arms.


    “L, talk to me. What’s wrong?” I asked, trying to keep the panic at bay.


    Her breathing had grown heavy and quickened in pace.


    “T…the… pups,” she whispered weakly.


    Soon, I felt a warm pool of liquid oozing beneath me and onto the ground. I heard a loud gasp and a couple of sobs when others around me got a glimpse of what the liquid was. When I was finally able to look, my entire body went cold.


    Blood.


    “Oh, my goddess,” I breathed, holding L even tighter in my arms. “Just keep breathing. The ambnce is on its way.”


    “What can I do? How can I help?” I heard my mother asking as she ran outside. When she saw the blood, she paused, and her face had gone pale.


    “Oh, no,” she whispered,plete horror in her voice. “I’ll get some tires from inside.”


    She turned and ran back into the temple.


    “L, stay with me,” I said to her, shaking her gently as her eyes fluttered shut. She was losing a lot of blood and consciousness.


    I heard the faint sounds of the sirens in the distance and relief flooded through me. The ambnce was going to be here any minute.


    Despite her eyes being shut and her breathing growing heavy, L kept her hands on their belly protectively. I was busy holding onto her and keeping her safe and warm to notice that the ambnce had already been parked, and the emergency team was racing toward us with a gurney.


    “Help me get her on the gurney, Alpha,” one of the medics said as she took one of L’s arms. Max didn’t like this man touching our mate and let out a lowly growl. He immediately dropped the hand and staggered backward.I stood with L in my arms, and I ced her on the gurney. She had sweat beading at the top of her head and dripping down her flushed cheeks. I ran my fingers down the side of her face, feeling her warmth and the electric current that followed my touch against her flesh.


    “It’s going to be okay…” I whispered to her. “I’m not leaving your side.”


    I bent and brushed my lips against hers just as the medics began to bring her toward their ambnce. I turned to a very worried and tear-filled Selene who wanted to go with her daughter.


    “Follow us in your car,” I told them, looking up at Bastien who nodded.


    Without another word, I turned and hurried onto the ambnce, taking my seat beside L’s gurney.


    ……


    L’s POV


    It felt like I was weightless, or like I was flying. I couldn’t feel my body. Maybe it was justpletely numb. I couldn’t tell. My memory of the previous events was foggy, but I remembered I was about to walk down the aisle to marry my mate, and then something happened. I was feeling all sorts of pain in my lower abdomen, and I knew almost right away that it was my pups. Something was wrong; they weren’t due for another month, and I shouldn’t be feeling this much pain and difort.


    When everything went dark, I thought to myself, “This is it. This is how I’m going to die.”


    But then I felt arms around me and cradling me in a chest that I could just melt in and in that moment, I realized I was going to be okay. Everything was going to be okay because I had my mate by my side, and I knew he wasn’t going to leave me.


    Thest thing I remembered before Ipletely lost consciousness was the whimpering of my wolf in distress as she struggled to keep our pups protected.


    ….


    The soft beeping of the monitor was what woke me. As soon as I opened my eyes, I was met with a dim light and the scent oftex. As I came through, I started to feel the difort my body felt.


    I knew I was alone as well, and it made my stomach tighten as I only feared the worst had happened.


    I lifted my head slightly, trying to grasp my surroundings. I groaned as pain shot through my entire body. I touched my stomach and felt the bandage that had been wrapped around my waist and covering my belly.


    Panic began to rise through me when I touched my belly and didn’t feel the twins kicking like they usually do. My heart began to race rapidly against my ribcage and for a minute, I feared I was going to get sick.


    The door opened and I felt the warmth and smelled the incredible scent of Enzo. He looked tired but when his eyes found mine, his entire body rxed, and he gave me a relieved smile.


    “You’re awake,” he breathed, closing the door behind him. “I’ve been so worried. They said you would wake up within this hour, but I was still so worried.”


    He sat down at my bedside and took my hands into his, raising them to his lips and kissing them gently.


    “How are you feeling?” He asked in a hushed whisper.


    “How long have I been sleeping?” I found myself asking, ignoring his questionpletely.


    “A little over 12 hours,” he answered, making my entire body freeze.


    He ran his fingers down the side of my face, making me tremble from his touch.


    “I ruined our wedding,” I whispered, tears filling my eyes.


    He shook his head and bent himself even further down so he could press his forehead against mine.


    “No, you didn’t,” he breathed. “We can get married anytime. I’m just d you’re alive.”


    I could no longer hold them in; tears began to rush out of my eyes at a rapid speed and I bit onto my bottom lip to keep from sobbing.


    “And the twins?” I asked. “Did our pups….” My voice trailed off, unable to form the words on my lips. “Are they—”


    Before I could get the question out, the door swung open, and Dr. Schmitt walked into the room. When she saw that I was awake, she smiled, seemingly relieved.


    “Hello, L,” she greeted kindly. “Wee back to thend of the living.”


    “Hey…” I said, trying to force a smile, but I was just so worried about the twins. “What happened ot me?”


    Dr. Schmitt stood on the other side of my bed and started to check my vitals.


    “You were having ate-term miscarriage,” she said simply as she jotted some notes on her clipboard.


    My entire heart plummeted into my stomach.


    “It happens sometimes with high amounts of stress; it can cause someplications leading up to the birth. It happens more so with twins. The more babies you have, the greater the risk,” she continued.


    I waspletely frozen. Did she just say I had a miscarriage?

    I couldn’t breathe as nausea rose into my stomach and began to enter my throat.


    “But because you have Vna blood and a very strong wolf, between the two your pups were kept alive while being transferred to the hospital. We were able to perform an emergency C-section and your babies were born healthily.”
