Alpha’s Virgin Wife by Baby Charlene
Chapter 182 The Impossible
Hours after her meal, Shilah was restless and decided to go for a walk with the King. She had been getting slight cramps which was normal, but on that evening, they just felt different. She felt different.
They walked within the palace – from the training field to the horse stables, to the gardens and other fun places in the Palace.
King Dakota was feeling the effect of the moon already, it was evening and was so close and he knew he needed to start going to the cave. But, Shilah…he wasn’t so sure about her and if she was ready to go with him. She had been acting all different since the break of dawn, but he knew there was no way he could have a peaceful full moon without her.
“Are you tired?” He looked at her and asked, noticing how she touched her waist.
“N…no” she shook her head and batted her lashes.
And Dakota held her hand as they continued walking.
“It’s almost time to go the cave, Shilah” he finally said when he couldn’t gulp it down any longer. The feeling had gotten just too strong.
“Uhm…is it?” Shilah stopped walking, her hand on her tummy. “I don’t know, My King, I just don’t feel too well.”
“Wh…why? What’s the problem, Shilah?” Dakota stood in front of her, his eyes looking so worried. “Do you think it’s the baby?”
“I… I think so”.
“Okay, do you need some rest? Or…”
“Ouch!” Her shriek cut him off, making his brows furrow in dismay.
“What was that???” He asked with alarming eyes.
“I… I don’t know. It just… Argh!” She cried out this time around, her knees giving a bend.
“Shilah! What is wrong?! Hey!” The scene had attracted some guards around who were already running to meet them.
“I don’t know, don’t know! It just hurts!” She lifted her head and cried out.
“What hurts? Where exactly? Hold on, I’ll take you to Ahiga” he carried her up in his arms immediately and started scurrying away.
“Alpha…” The guards arrived.
“Bring the midwife to my chambers! Now!” He yelled out and didn’t stop running.

Chaska wore a scornful smile as she watched the King in dilemma, running with the hurting Shilah in his arms.
“I think its working, My Queen” Gina gasped behind her.
“And give me one reason why you thought it wouldn’t work, Gina” Chaska grinned. “There is no way on the Mountain Shilah and the baby would escape that child. I wonder how the King would feel, holding his dead child in his arms”. She laughed distorted-ly. “I think I’m going to love this night, Gina!”

Ahiga rushed into the King’s chambers, her heart racing too fast.
“My King, you sent for…” Her words were cut short when she noticed Shilah on the bed, panting and squirming. “For Selene’s sake, what is wrong with her??”
“I have no idea, Ahiga. We were just taking a walk and she started complaining of these pains” Dakota groaned, his hand on his forehead. His demons were fighting him already.
“Oh, dear! Queen Shilah?” She rushed towards Shilah on the bed who was a painful mess.
“It hurts…It hurts so bad…!” She writhed as she turned on the bed.
“Wh… where exactly, dear? Your waist? Or…”
“EVERYWHERE!!” She screamed out. Her legs were kept opened like she wanted to start pushing already. Instantly, there was a thunder quake in the sky, one that made Ahiga shudder.
She stood up and rushed to the window and was shocked to find the full moon right there, but with the sky looking like it wanted to rain.
“The moon is sooner than it should be” She mumbled in confusion and just then, heard the King roar in the room.
“Blessed Selene!” She flinched and turned to find him on his knees, seeming in so much pains.
“My…My King…!” He hadn’t turned yet, but looked like he would at any moment.
The door bursted open with Pishan showing up.
“My King!” His eyes dilated in shock as he ran to him. Oh, no!
Pishan was confused and didn’t even know who to concentrate on – The hurting Shilah, or the pained King? He thought they’d had gone to the cave already like they’d be doing for the past three months, but he was surprised when the guard told him he had been seen carrying Shilah to his room.
“I need to go! I need to go! What’s wrong with her, Ahiga?” Dakota grunted, still on his knees, his both hands squeezing his eyes.
“I.. I don’t even…”
“LET ME KNOW!” He roared and fearfully, the midwife rushed to Shilah on the bed, exposed her womanhood and quickly examined it .
“I… I think she’s in labour, My King” she turned to Dakota and reported.
“But I thought she was examined yesterday and wasn’t due for delivery?” Pishan asked, muddled.
“Trust me, Pishan, I am as confused as you are. Giving birth at such time is really critical. Even my co-workers can’t be here as they’d probably ran into the woods already”. Ahiga grouse, her heart nearly flying out of her chest.
Another thunder quaked heavily in the sky and as Dakota let out another deep roar, so did Shilah who screamed.
“I need to go!!!” He held his head and yelled. “Take care of them, Ahiga!! TAKE CARE OF THEM!” Those were the last he could say as he sprang on his feet and ran out of the room like lightening.
“What is happening, Pishan? I am so scared” Ahiga shuddered, shaking at the third thunder that quaked. The sky had gone dark with the full moon shinning round it it. But, it looked like it wanted to rain as well.
“Can you do this yourself?” Pishan pointed to Shilah.
“I… I think so. I’d just try” She shook her head, her hands were literally shaking.
“You need to be strong, Ahiga, and do this. It’s the King’s heir we’re talking about, remember? You must do everything to save them” Pishan cautioned. “Now, I need to go after the King and make sure he doesn’t hurt anyone. Alright?”
“O… okay” Ahiga whimpered and watched him go.
And now, she was just left in the room with the unconscious Shilah.
“Oh! Please!” Shilah cried out, and running closer to her, Ahiga discovered her water had just bursted.
“Oh, Blessed Selene! Please, be with her” She took several deep breaths, still trying to understand why Shilah was in labour at that time.
“Uhm… My dear Queen” she touched the legs. “The pains you’re feeling, they’re only natural, okay? Now, I just need us to work together. I need you to push, alright?”
“It hurts…” Shilah clenched her teeth, her eyes closed with tears running out of them.
“I know, Shilah. I know. But it’s for your child, Okay? It’s for your son…”
Immediately, she grabbed the bedsheets and let out a deep scream, pushing with all her might.
It started raining…

Chaska held onto her top as she watched it rain. Now, that was one thing she was worried about. It never rains on a full moon…
