******Erika''s POV******


    Everyone came forward to congratte us on finally getting mated again.


    The merging of the pack was ongoing amongst the elders while I greeted everyone who came forward together with Alex.


    I saw the girling to also offer us their congrattions.


    Pa was beaming but frowning as well. I noticed her difort, which she hid pretty well.


    "Congrattions Alpha Alex, Luna Erika," Kat said wittily and we allughed.


    "Congrats, Alpha Alex and Luna Erika," Pa said as I saw the pain that shed


    in her eyes.


    "Pa, are you alright?" I couldn''t help but ask.


    She shook her head.


    "What''s wrong, P?" Kat asked, going over to hold her.


    "I... Feel..." She suddenly let out an ear-piercing scream as she blew air from her mouth.


    "The baby ising."


    "What?!!" We all yelled in unison.


    Everyone panicked as we watched her blow more air from her mouth, she was trying not to panic like us and soon, Gage rushed over.


    "What''s wrong?!"


    "It''s P, she''s inbor."


    Gage cursed and without waiting, he lifted her off the ground and sprinted out of the room, straight to the entrance where a car was soon brought forth.


    Once she was securely ced in the car, the car sped off from the packhouse and straight to the infirmary.


    I and Kat rushed over to the other car with Alex, but before we could get in, an Elder called for our attention.


    "Alpha Alexander has to stay behind for the sess of the merging. The rest of you can go."


    Alex turned to look at me and disappointment shed in his eyes.


    I gave him a little nod and a small smile of encouragement.


    "Just go, you cane to the hospital the moment the merging ispleted and you''re made Alpha," I said to him and he sighed.


    "Alright then, take care of yourself." He said and walked forward to pull me in for a hug.


    After the hug, I and Kat climbed into the car and the driver drove off from the venue, straight to the hospital with the others.


    Soon, we arrived and we both rushed in at once. We found Gage pacing back and forth, looking extremely nervous while I chuckled.


    I and Kat sat by the corner as we watched the door to thebor room once in a while.


    "This is it," Kat said, a sigh escaping her lips as she stared at me.


    "Yes, it''s time," I replied, getting what she was implying.


    "P is a fighter and she would have a smooth delivery, I just can''t wait to have a


    little pup too," Kat said with a look of exasperation in her eyes.


    "We all will, let''s celebrate Pa''s first and we talk about ourster." I chuckled softly.


    The processsted for a long while, but in no time, the door to thebor room was pulled open and the doctor walked out.


    He smiled a us and turned to Gage.


    "You''re the patient''s mate?" He asked and Gage nodded.


    "Alright great, congrattions, your mate has just given birth to a baby boy." He


    said and Gage broke out into a wide smile.


    I and Kat cheered at the sides, "This is what we''re talking about! P gave birth to a


    baby boy!" Kat whistled as I made a little happy dance.


    "We''ll be aunties!" I added and she nodded before giving me a big hug.


    "The mate can see her first, then Her friends can go on afterward." The Doctor said with a smile before walking out.


    "Gage go on first, we''ll wait for our turn," I said and he nodded. He walked into the room after taking deep breaths.


    Jace walked up to us and sighed.


    "Men get so worked up when their wives go intobor." He muttered and took a seat beside us.


    Kat nudged him slightly and when their eyes met, she wiggled her brow. "We need a pup too, you have to work harder." She chuckled.


    I face palmed myself at her shamelessness, wishing not to hear a thing they would be discussing.


    "Don''t worry, I''ll do my best and you''ll be loaded in no time." Jace flirted back.


    Disgusting!


    "Alright that''s enough, you both get the hell out of here!" I yelled at them but lowered my voice when a nurse gestured with her hands to quiet down.


    "You''re just jealous, don''t worry Alex will get you loaded too," Kat said shamelessly and snorted.


    I clenched my fist as my face heated up.


    How could she say things so shamelessly without a care in the world?


    Soon, the door to the ward was pulled open and Gage walked out with his eyes moist.


    Was he crying?


    "You both can go in now, I''ll go get her discharged." He said, his voice a bit shaky.


    We nodded, standing up to our feet


    as we walked towards the room


    door. I stopped just a few sternot


    away and turned to look at Gage and Jace who were shaking hands.


    "Gage, congrattions once again," I said and he bowed.


    "Thank you, Alpha Erika."


    With that, I and Kat walked into the ward to see Pa already in a sitting position as she grazed at the cradle with her little bundle of joy.


    Seeing us walk in, she smiled and used her both hands to gesture for us toe closer.


    "You girlse see my son''s handsomeness!" She yelled and we both chuckled as we walked forward to admire her son.


    Indeed, he was so handsome with a sharp jawline at a tender stage.


    "Wow, I see him breaking hearts in the future!" Kat yelled with augh and I hit her arm yfully.


    "He won''t be a heartbreaker! He would find his mate and get mated appropriately." I said and Pa rolled her eyes.


    "I want him to be a heartbreaker, this beauty can''t go in vain." Pa supported Kat, why was I surprised?


    "Can I hold him, he looks so adorable," I asked and Pa gave me a weird look.


    "He is also like your son, you girls don''t need permission to hold him." She said sweetly and I felt touched. I reached out to take the baby I''m my hands, cradling him in my arms and admiring how small he was. s.One day, he would grow into a man as well.


    Funny how life works.


    "What''s his name, it better be a hot ass name!" Kat asked as she kept staring at


    his face.


    "Oh, his name is Niki. I and Gage gave him that name." She said and beamed


    at us.


    "Niki..." I tasted the name on my tongue and it didn''t sound sore.


    "Not bad." Kat said and turned to the baby, "Niki." She called out loud.


    The door was soon pushed open again and Gage walked in.


    "It''s time to go home." He said and we all sighed.


    "We''ll host a naming ceremony and you girls would have all the time in the world


    to hold little Niko," Pa said and we all raised a brow.


    "Little Niko was all you could think of?" Kat blurted out and we bursted out


    She rolled her eyes and climbed off


    the bed, as werewolves, we were bound to heal faster after delivery and she seemed to have heated uppletely already.  fo


    "Alright, let''s leave." She announced and strolled out, leaving us to watch her


    back as she walked out like she hadn''t just birthed a child.


    "Yup, she is a strange." Gage let out and we allughed at that.
