Chapter 146
Third Person’s POV
“Calm down, Kyle. There’s no way the prophecy was talking about us if Charolette said it was only one child born at midnight,” Camilla tried to calm her frantic mate but to no prevail. He was lost in his own thoughts as he scoured the room, trying to find any items that may be of importance to them. “Kyle, please. You’re upsetting me He finally stopped pacing the room to look at her; his eyes were wild, and it brought chills to Camilla.
“Don’t you remember your dream you had a few days before you gave birth?” He asked. “I told you I’d find out what it meant, and I did. The Moon Goddess came to you and told you to protect these children with your life because they are special. Twins are a rarity in our world, so we already knew they were special. Now, the prophecy… it’s not a coincidence,” he told her firmly.
Camilla remembered this dream quite vividly; it frightened her that something might be wrong with her children. But she classified it as new parent jitters. Once her babies were born, she all but forgot her dream.
Her heart thudded violently against her chest as she peaked down at her babies. They were nestled comfortably in his arms after they stuffed themselves full of milk.
Kyle walked to Camilla’s bedside and ran his fingers through her greasy hair; she hadn’t been able to get up and take a shower in a couple of days. She felt disgusting, but Kyle still looked at her like she was the most beautiful woman in the world.
“Cammy, you know I love you and would do anything to protect you and our babies,” he told her, his voice calming. “The Alpha knows you had a baby, and it won’t be long before he finds out the time of their birth and the fact that there’s more than one. The Alpha of the Crown Pack offered a very high reward to whoever found that child and the parents. They are searching each hospital as we speak. We have to leave p>
“We are the Betas of the pack,” she said, astonished. “They wouldn’t kill us… would they p>
“The Alpha of the Crown pack is leading the search and he said during the meeting that he will scour the earth to find that baby and the ones who produced it… his words,” Kyle shuddered. “Our Alpha will protect us,” she insisted, but even her heart knew that he wouldn’t.
Kyle didn’t have to say anything, the look on his face was enough to make a sob escape Camilla. She was so tired and now it looked like her family was in danger. Her babies were in danger.
Kyle wrapped his arms around his mate and their babies, holding his family close for just a moment, not wanting to let them go.
“We can’t take any chances,” he whispered against her temple.
Tears ran down her cheeks, and Kyle wiped them away with his thumb before peppering kisses along her jaw until he reached her lips. He gave her a lingering kiss, which took her breath away as it always did. The kiss gave her a sense of clarity and she knew she had to protect her family at all costs.
She looked down at her children, tears burning in her eyes. Then, with confidence, she raised her head and nodded, masking the emotions that were once so clear on her face. She didn’t want her husband to know how much pain she was in, but she knew what she wanted to do and what she needed to do in order to protect her children.
She quickly got out of bed and placed the babies down for a moment so she could get dressed. Once she was dressed in her jeans and a t-shirt, she scooped her babies up again, holding them each close to her chest.
“Stay here for a minute,” she said simply.
He narrowed his eyes.
“What are you about to do?” He asked.
“Just trust me,” she told him, her heart aching, but her words had no emotions in them.

He was worried, but he nodded his head once and watched as she left the room, Camilla traveled the hallway, letting the nurses know she was taking the babies into the nursery for a few. They barely even batted an eye as Camilla walked down the ward and into the hospital nursery.
There was a nurse in the nursery, feeding one of the babies, when Camilla walked in. The nurse looked up and smiled at Camilla.
“I’m glad you are feeling up to walking around now,” the nurse said, sounding pleased.
“I’m feeling better,” Camilla answered, which wasn’t a complete lie.
Camilla looked around at the other babies in the nursery. There were only a few of them and they all had pink blankets.
“Are they all girls?” She asked thoughtfully, trying not to sound suspicious.
“Yes,” the nurse answered as she finished feeding the baby girl in her arms. Two of them were born dast nightand one of them was born the night before p>

The nurse frowned at the question.
“5 pm,” she answered.
Camilla’s heart sank and the hope deteriorated.
“I see,” she murmured.
“I was just finishing up feeding Silver,” the nurse said thoughtfully.
