Chapter 182: The Dragon Bone Wolf
[Rose’s P.O.V.]
“It’s a boy?” asked I, trying to sit up with difficulty. Edward immediately came over and supported me.
Dr. Baldwin brought our child before me and I stretched out my arm to receive him, tears rolling down my cheeks.
“Baby, this is our son. He’s too d*mn cute. You’ll be a great mother.” Edward kept kissing my temples as he spoke with a nasal voice – he must be crying too, or at least he was holding back his tears.
I looked at the baby in my arms and my eyes were immediately glued to him. His fluffy golden hair resembled mine but his nose, lips, and cheeks were almost a replica of Edward’s.
“When will he be able to open his eyes?” I heard Edward ask Dr. Baldwin.
“In about a week or two, but it might be earlier.”
“Dr. Baldwin, did you see or feel any abnormalities in his spine?”
“Not from what I can see from my tablet. I didn’t feel anything abnormal on him when I carried him earlier. I have been observing him and he seems like a normal, healthy baby.”
“Is little Alpha here? Can I see him? I have already disinfected myself. I just want to take a look through the door,” said Alonso through the door.
I thought for a moment, then handed our son over to Edward. I still felt exhausted and couldn’t find the energy to get up. I simply laid back and watched as Edward carried our child to the door of the room. But then, our baby started crying.
“Edward, can you turn down the air conditioner for me? I feel very hot.”
By the time I said this, almost breathlessly, the door of the room had opened a crack and I immediately felt a much-welcomed cool breeze from the air conditioning in the living room slip into my room. The relief made me feel as if I had just given birth on a volcano before the cold winds came to cool me down. But soon I found that I was not the only one who was feeling hot. I saw Dr. Baldwin’s forehead getting covered in sweat. Was the air conditioner in my room broken?
When Alonso finally held the baby in his arms, he also quickly felt along the back of the small creature to check for any abnormal growths. Thankfully, he didn’t find anything either, so he turned to look at the little wolf in his arms, examining the little face staring back at him. Once they made eye contact, I noticed a sense of calmness wash over Alonso. I had a feeling that he was having a conversation with my child. But I couldn’t tell what they were talking about, if they were conversing at all.
When Alonso returned to normal, he turned to Edward and Dr. Baldwin, looking as if he had something to say.
“Alonso, just say what you want to say. We can trust the people in this room,” said Edward.
“Okay. Alpha, Luna, congratulations on the birth of your little Alpha. I’m just as excited as you are about this little wolf’s entry into the world. Do you remember when I told you about the Dragon Bone Wolf?”
“What about it?” I didn’t care how hot I was anymore. His words had piqued my interest so much I could surprisingly ignore the heat.
Alonso did his best to speak calmly, but I could still hear the tremble in his voice.
“This child is a Dragon Bone Wolf. The piece of bone we had found sticking out from his spine when he was in your belly is the skeleton of a giant dragon. Obviously, it has completely fused with him. Don’t worry, it won’t restrict his movements. Instead, it will be the source of his many great abilities.”
“What? You’re telling me that not only is my son a Werewolf of Chaos, but also a Dragon Bone Wolf? The Dragon Bone Wolf that you’ve been looking for?”
“Yes. Now that little Alpha is born, the Dragon Bone Wolf has finally appeared. The higher power will give me instructions on my next mission soon. And guess what, this little wolf has also begun to activate his abilities. Don’t you think it’s been getting hot in here?”
I was stunned. No words could describe how I was feeling. So many complex and conflicting emotions started to swirl within me. Memories of what had happened just because I was a Werewolf of Chaos with loving parents flooded my mind.
“You guys don’t have to worry at all, especially you, Rose. I know you are reminded of your past since your baby shares a similar identity with you. However, I am here now, and I will help you guide your little Werewolf of Chaos to properly use his abilities. I’m not saying that Alpha Austin and Luna Nancy did not do well – quite the opposite, actually. It was not an easy feat to keep you so well hidden and safe. Every parent believes that they have made the choices they thought were right at the time. That’s how you survived.”
Obviously, Alonso had already read my mind. I was exhausted and had no time to set up a barrier to block him out anyway.
“Angel, he looks like me but we already know that he will be like you. He will grow into a powerful Alpha and a good Werewolf of Chaos.”
My lover returned to me with our son in his arms. He put the child in my arms and let him lean into me as Edward kissed the top of my head to comfort me.
I looked at the child in my arms. He was so small that he hadn’t even opened his eyes yet, but he was already carrying a heavy responsibility. I immediately thought of the disaster that was about to befall him. Nicholas would be coming for me soon.
Since my little son had endured and worked so hard to choose me as his mother, how could I simply stand back and wait for what was to come?
