chapter 6

Lexa couldn't take the parties anymore. This gender reveal was clearly one too many. Too many people were moving around her and her babies. They had been threatened, and if we added that to her pregnancy hormones and the tight blue and pink dress they had given her, the young woman became paranoid. She took it upon herself not to rip the throat out of anyone who got a little too close to her. Carter put a comforting arm on her arm, whispering:

- Relax my heart our guests will believe that you mean them harm by dint of staring at them like that.

Lexa groaned, but plastered a charming smile on her face nonetheless. In the end, Carter even managed to get her to dance. In the end, she even had a good time, dancing with her companion, her brother and her friends. Even Paul ends up dancing, despite his reluctance, after the young woman gave him his puppy eyes. They took pictures below the banner proclaiming in glittering blue and pink letters: "It's twins!". She managed to relax little by little, smiling from ear to ear. Ella and Lila called for Lexa and Carter, holding two gigantic cakes in their hands. Suddenly, Lexa's mood skyrocketed. Sugar, finally! Literally jumping on the spot, she led her lover in her race. Lila explained to them, looking as excited as her beautiful daughter.

- You will each cut a cake, and the inside will reveal the sex of the babies.

Ella clinked her glass, exclaiming:

- Your attention please, the long-awaited moment has arrived. I hope you have already taken your bets! Three, two, one, cut!

Lexa plunged the knife into the "baby one" cake and Carter plunged her knife into the "baby two" cake, revealing pink and blue. In the crowd, a howl was heard. Jamie squealed with delight, waving his ballot. He approached Lexa, took her in his arms and twirled her in his arms, making her burst out laughing.

- Two small children, a girl and a boy! Thanks Lexa!

Still laughing, she put her hands on her stepfather's shoulders as he lowered her to the ground. In turn, Lila put her arms around the young woman, hugging her tightly and whispering to the young woman:

- Thank you, Lexita. Thanks . I am so happy that you are in our lives.

Tears welled up in Lexa's eyes and, lips quivering, she hugged her mother-in-law back.

Carter had tears in her eyes, seeing her soul mate so happy and accepted by her family, waiting for their own family to grow. She saw him, and immediately, via the link, he was invaded by a wave of pure and absolute love. He sent her back, as she held out her hand. He grabbed her and hugged her close, his wolf soothed by the contact with her. She rubbed her cheek against his chest, making him think of a kitten. So cute. Then she returned a lethal look, reminding him how dangerous the young woman was.

- I'm not a fucking kitten, Carter, I could always knock you down, even pregnant up to the neck.

He burst out laughing, hugging her even tighter.

- I know, I know, Lexa, I don't forget, don't worry. You are a very strong kitten.

She looked outraged and nudged him in the ribs, further increasing the young man's hilarity. He pressed his lips to her temple, and his young companion leaned against him in spite of herself, letting out a sigh.

Lexa was finally at peace, but she felt the urge to isolate herself for a moment. She climbed onto the balcony of the main lodge, finally breathing freely. She leaned on the railing, admiring the crowd below. She is about to leave when she feels a body pressing against her back and something cold pressing against her throat.

- Hi, Lexa. If you move, you and your offspring will die, understood?

Lexa didn't move an inch. She recognized the smell immediately.

- Hi, Danaan.

Danaan pressed his claws against the young woman's throat, scratching her in the process. The young woman's wolf kicked against the bars of her psychic cage. Danaan breathed against her hair:

- I don't want to hurt you, neither you nor your children, but I will if I have to. So you will follow me, very nicely, and there will be no injuries. You understand ?

She wanted to nod, but the presence of the claws against her throat prevented her, so she could only articulate in a hoarse voice of anguish, anger and fear:

- Yes I understand . I get it, I won't make a fuss so relax, okay? Please .

Slowly the pressure eased as he pulled his hand away. Taking her by the arm, he led her through the corridors of the main chalet, towards a door leading to the forest. There they walked for ten minutes, to a small clearing.

- So, bitch, we're less clever now, huh?

Dana was waiting for them in the clearing, a cruel smile on her lips. Danaan pushed Lexa to the ground, causing her to fall to her knees in front of his mother. The smile of the latter grows and she launches, visibly delighted:

- Hold on, hold on, hold on. Doesn't that remind you of anything, dear, dear Lexa?

Lexa vividly remembered the day she submitted Dana. Trying to get up she fell on the ground when the other woman pushed her back on the ground with a kick in the shoulder.

- kneel. Stay on your knees, and I'll leave you alive enough to eject your offspring.

Lexa turned pale and, gritting her teeth, forced herself to stay on her knees. She looked up at Danaan, begging him to help her in a desperate voice:

- Danaan, I know you know it's wrong what you're doing. I know you don't really want to do this to us. And above all, I know that she hurts you. Help me, please. The young man looked away, whispering:

- You don't know what you're talking about, Lexa.

- I can smell her on you, Danaan. You can not ....

She didn't have time to finish her sentence when Dana hit her, growling at her son:

- Go ahead, and do it well while waiting for me to join you.

Lexa felt the blood drain from her face as she realized what awaited her. Danaan grabbed her and tore her dress, exposing her body. Lexa struggled, screamed but immediately calmed down when she felt claws on her stomach. Tears rolling down her cheeks, she could only watch helplessly as the young young man undressed. He put her on all fours and stood behind her, all under the eyes of Dana, whose smile grew from minute to minute. She felt Danaan's penis at the entrance to her privacy and closed her eyes, begging the goddess to help her. Suddenly, a cry was heard, and his attacker retreated screaming. Opening her eyes, she saw Carter with her hand around Dana's neck.
