“Aww, she’s so cute..” Aurora fawned as she knelt in front of La’s child crib.


    “Your child is so pretty, La. I’m definitely stealing her away from you… ” Keisha teased as they allughed joyfully.


    La smiled, a warm feeling of contentment settling over her. She had never felt happier than she did in this moment, surrounded by her friends and her new baby girl.


    “Thank you, everyone,” she said, looking around at her friends.


    “I couldn’t have done this without all of you.”


    “You’re wee, La,” Keisha said. “And don’t worry, we’ll all be here to help you out with the baby.”


    ” She looks so much like Nn. Baby Noelle..” Aurora read out the name that was printed on her pillow.


    She was just two days old and the pce had been filled with so much joy since the day Noelle was born.


    Everyone could see the Alpha smiling from ear to ear as he was in the best mood ever.


    La looked at the baby, who was fast asleep in her crib. She could see the resemnce to Nn, with the baby’s red dark hair and blue eyes. But she also saw herself in the baby’s features, and it made her heart swell with love.


    “She’s perfect,” La pouted, her voice full of awe. “Just perfect.”


    “She really is,” Nn agreed, his eyes shining with happiness. “I’m so lucky to have her, and you.”


    La felt her cheeks flush as she looked up to see Nn standing by the doorpost.


    ” We’ll see youter La..” Aurora and Keisha said as they made their way out, locking the door after them.


    “I thought I told you to have some rest?” Nn grilled as he sat on the bed beside La, while he took her hand in his.


    Laughed. “I know, but I wanted to stay up and watch Noelle sleep,” she replied.


    “I just can’t get enough of her.”


    “I know what you mean,” Nn grinned, his eyes full of adoration as he looked at the baby.


    “But you should rest. The doctor said you still haven’t recovered fully..” Nn stated. He was still very worried about her.


    “Don’t worry Nn. I’m good, trust me..” La assured as she kept staring at Noelle.


    Nn has been so protective of her that she hasn’t stepped out of her room. He imed she needed to rest.


    “I know you’re feeling fine,” Nn pointed out, his voice gentle.


    “But I just want to make sure you’re taking care of yourself. You went through a lot giving birth to our little girl, and I want to make sure you’re getting the rest you need.” He insisted.


    La sighed, knowing that there was no point in arguing with him. “Okay, I promise I’ll rest,” she finally agreed.


    ” But only if I watch Noelle a little. She’s so cute… ” La fawned as she smiled.


    ” That’s the reason you should get some rest. You know how much she cries at night and keeps you awake all through the night” Nn reasoned with her.Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.


    Once Noelle woke up from sleep, she’d literally cry and cry even after she’d been fed.


    “I know,” La said, her shoulders sagging a little.


    “You see. So go to bed..” Nn motioned. He was the happiest man on earth after seeing his daughter. And he would forever love La for giving him a little bundle of joy.


    “I love you..” he nted a kiss on her lips as he helped her get into bed. He just finished covering her with the duvet when a knock came across.


    “Come In..” The door opened and Darren walked in.


    From the look on his face, he brought some news.


    ” Is anything wrong?” Nn asked curiously.


    ” Not really. I bring bad and good news… ” Darren began as Nn’s face wire a sour look.


    It was too sudden toe bearing bad news.


    “What’s that?” He asked.


    “The bad news is Ca managed to escape and the good news is she’s dead..” Darren announced.


    He knew he sounded weird announcing Ca’s death as good news.


    But it was better that she died. Knowing the kind of person she was, she was hungry for revenge and would stop at nothing to get it.


    Nn felt a mix of emotions at the news – relief, sadness, and even a tinge of guilt. On the one hand, he was d that Ca was no longer a threat. But on the other hand, he felt bad that someone once dear to him had lost their life.


    “How did she die?” he asked, even though he wasn’t sure he wanted to know the answer.


    “It was an ident,” Darren responded.


    Nn felt a heavy weight on his shoulders. Despite everything Ca had done, he still cared for her.


    ” What do you mean?” Nn asked softly.


    ” Apparently, Ca had been so close to us over the years that she basically knew about how we operate… ” Darren began.


    ” She used the secret passway in the dungeon to leave. Luckily we discovered on time and started a hot pursuit.. ” he paused as his eyes studied Nn for a while.


    ” Her brakes failed and she crashed into a tree. The car caught fire and blew up. When the fire was finally extinguished, the only thing left was her body burnt without recognition… ” Darren concluded. Nn did not know how to react anymore.


    Nn was at a loss for words.


    And he couldn’t shake the feeling that he was somehow responsible for Ca’s death.


    “It’s not your fault, you know,” Darren stated as if reading his mind.


    “Ca made her own choices. She chose to do the things she did, and she chose to try to escape. You’re not to me for any of it!”


    Ca was a person he had sworn to protect. Her father was literally his savior and she became his responsibility. But he couldn’t particrly me himself for it, could he?


    She chose the path herself and brought it upon herself.


    “Bury her body. I’ll speak with youter… ” Nn waved him off as Darren left immediately after.


    ” What’s it? ” La’s soft and sweet voice rang in his ears and he felt a wave of peace rush through him.


    ” It’s Ca. She’s dead!”
