Chapter Ten
I had left before my mates could even understand what was happening, I just ran to her. I could not understand how this could happened; I did everything possible. I even ignored their constant attempt to gain access to the throne. All I wanted was to make sure that she came into this world, without any issues. And yet, here I am running to her as if we were being attacked. Because she was, her life was at jeopardy.
“Doctor Calloway,” I shouted to the nursing station. “I need to speak to Doctor Calloway, please.”
“General Terra,” the very Doctor I was looking for called my name.
“How is the baby,” I asked walking the rest of the distance to the Doctor.
“We think we got to her on time,” She spoke. But her words and her face did not convince me well enough.
“Think,” Tristian asked as his arms wrapped around my shoulder.
“She is having difficulty breathing,” she spoke.
I have been through many things in my life. Seen many things in my life. Nothing affected me like this, not even when Tristian and Asher left me. This was a whole different kind of pain. I did not realize the amount of love that I truly had for this little girl. Before I could even see her, she had apart of my heart that I didn’t even know was there.
“It could be just a side effect of being premature, or from the medication the mother took,” Doctor Calloway spoke again. “It is a waiting game; I have set up a room for you to wait.”
I was led to a suite room, “When can we see her.”
The doctor looked at me, she smiled at me. “She will be fine, Terra. She has to be under supervision for the next 24 hours at least. I will come and get you as soon as I can be certain.”
“Thank you,” I looked at her as I sat down on one of the available chairs.
“Terra,” Trinity spoke as she put her hand on my shoulder.
“Arrest Cerena, immediately,” I spoke as I stood up. “Find her sister as well, and that mother of theirs.”
“Terra,” Serenity spoke this time.
“Nothing and no one will be alive to harm her again,” I looked at everyone in the room.
I could not understand, how, how could this room of high ranking people fail this little girl. She was a freaking princess, and yet not even a day old she has already had an assassination attempt. But I will do everything in my power to make sure that every last person that had their hand in this would be handled.
“And we will, Terra,” My father spoke as he laid his hand on my shoulder.
“And we aren’t saying that we don’t agree,” Trinity spoke. “Just you cannot be involved.”
“That is not happening,” I shouted. My chest was pounding as I thought about sitting here, waiting to hear if my little girls survived. I was useless, there was only one other time that I felt that way. And this was somehow harder for me. I lived my life and made my choices I could not deny that, she was not even given a chance. She might never get the chance to understand pain, sorrow, happiness, or love. And that hurt more than anything, it hurt to know I may have failed her already.
“There is nothing I can do here,” the words left me barely audible.
Tristian pulled me into his arms as I fought the tears, I tried to get out of his hold. I could not show weakness. I have only showed one sign of weakness to before. And I know that this was not the same thing. I understood that, but the way I was feeling it could not be differentiated.
“It hurts, I know that,” Tristian spoke as he kissed my head.
I gripped his shirt, as I pushed my face into his shoulder. His scent calmed me, it was weird, normally his scent sent me on a frenzy of some sort. It was like adrenaline for me, it was usually Asher’s sent that calmed me. But today was different, I don’t know if it was because he felt the same pain that I did.
It was then that it hit me, what kind of pain Tristian was under. He was finally able to come to terms that he was going to be a father. He was excited for his little princess, just watching him buy things for her was a joy for me. And now he potentially was going to lose it.
“But I need you right now, Terra,” he spoke through tight lips.
He wasn’t lying, I felt it as he shook in my arms. Weak was not a word that I would call Tristan. He never let anything get to him, honestly, I learned to hide my feelings around others because of him. He only allowed his emotions to show to so many people, but even I have never seen him like this.
“I’m sorry, your right,” I spoke holding him closer. “I’m right here.”
They left Tristian and I, in the room to ourselves. We had moved to the bed that they left in the room. The room I had requested. I had realized this was the room I had requested for when she was born. A private suite that would fit the little princess’s family. And we were here, while she fought for her life.
“I bet she is really pretty,” Tristian finally spoke.
“of course, she is, she has your gene in her,” I smiled looking up at him. “and regretfully Cerena is pretty as well.”
“Of course, she is, she has some of your genes,” he smiled looking down at me.
“don’t remind me,” I groaned.
“We will get them,” Tristian spoke as he pulled my head up. “And I promise you that, they will pay. Not one of them will live.”
I smiled as I sat up to straddled him, “There is my dragon, your going to protect our princess aren’t you.”
He gripped my thigh, “I love how your mother wolf came out, my love.”
“I told you, my love,” I spoke as I laid my forehead against his. “Everything is going to be all right. We will get our princess and take her home. And as the general to your army, I guarantee that anyone that dared to harm another little hair on her head, will not live to regret it.”
