Alpha Denzel kissed the crook of her neck, making her relax as much as possible before another contraction kicked in.
They worked together as a team, as if he knew exactly what she was going through. His gestures were in sync with what she needed at that point in time, and his words were the fuel.
"Let's do this together, my love." He felt the tightness of her belly, her nervousness, pain, and everything. She might not have her wolf, but he easily put himself in her shoes.
This was his mate, the only woman he ever had in his bed. If anyone knew her better, then that was Alpha Denzel.
Knowing how intense her pains had gotten, he tried every means to relax her, including reminding her of her strength.
"I remember that woman who walked on coals and killed all those men even when her wolf died. We can do this, right?" He asked in deep breaths, Valerie nodded her head, forcing a smile.
