Sold To An Alpha - Chapter 81

She used every means, every way, to cause her to lose the pregnancy, but it didn’t work as the Supreme Alpha had asked their royal witch to put a protection spell on her. Werewolves do indeed have a very strong dislike for witches, but that one was an old friend of their Alpha, so she was trusted.

The spell continued to protect his second wife, whose name was Mirabel, and, thanks to the moon goddess, she delivered her baby successfully.

When Alpha Lekhma heard of his wife’s safe delivery, he joyfully walked into the delivery room, expecting to see his baby boy. However, he instead saw two identical babies who were no different from each other.

The only difference between them was their hair and eyes. One had completely white hair and gray eyes, while the other had black raven hair and emerald green eyes. They were both more beautiful than any child they had ever seen, and of course, that could be expected from the Alpha’s children.

Alpha Lekhma’s face darkened at the sight of the two babies instead of one, and his hands clenched in dissatisfaction. One may think it’s absurd, but in Dendivil, twins are never accepted. When such a phenomenon occurs, it’s either that one dies and the other lives or both will be killed.

It is seen as a bad sign, and, of course, we all know how kingdoms then are. They will immediately eliminate such threats. So yes, Alpha Lekhma was troubled. What was he to do, murder both of his children?

A deep breath escaped Lekhma’s nose, and he glanced at his sleeping wife, who looked very tired. An annoyed groan erupted from his throat, and he suddenly turned his head to look at the babies, only to see the white-haired one smiling at him, whilst the black-haired one simply stared at him.

His heart suddenly warmed up, and he walked over to the white-haired one, lifting him from the cradle. He looked into the baby’s eyes and a gush of happiness washed through him.

He kissed the baby on the forehead and whispered in his ear. “I name you Ileus.” The baby smiled as though he understood his words, and Alpha Lekhma planted another kiss on his forehead.

Lekhma dropped the baby back in the cradle after a while and gazed deeply at the one with black raven hair. He scoffed in utter dislike and shook his head as he clicked his tongue. His heart had accepted the white-haired one from the moment he smiled at him, so the black-haired one might be the one to face a terrible fate.

“I will not name you, but your mother will.” He placed his hands behind his back and, with a turn, he walked out of the room that was bright as a result of the lit candles.

He motions to his right-hand man, who was by the name of Rohan, to let him know once his wife awakens from her sleep.

Rohan nodded in agreement and watched him leave. A low sigh left his mouth, and he slightly shook his head.

Mirabel, who was tired after childbirth, awoke from her sleep and carefully sat up on the bed. She rubbed her eyes and glanced at the cradle to see her two babies. The white-haired one was sound asleep, while the black-haired one was wide awake, with his little eyes darting around.

A smile formed on Mirabel’s lips, and she brought her legs down from the bed. She stood up and walked towards the twins. Her eyes stared at the white-haired one, who was the one that came out first, and she tenderly caressed his hair.

She glanced at the black-haired one, whose green eyes were staring at her, and a soft chuckle escaped her lips. The black-haired one had green eyes just like her, whilst the white-haired one had gray eyes just like their father.

Mirabel walked to the second cradle and, gently, she lifted the black-haired one from his bed. She embraced him and planted a soft kiss on his head.

The baby fluttered its eyes and reached out his tiny hands to touch his mother’s face. Mirabel’s eyes watered, and she placed his little hands on her cheek.

The baby smiled at her and she began to chuckle softly. She played with him for a few moments before slowly putting him back into the cradle and looking at the twins.”My babies.” She leaned down and delivered a kiss on each of their foreheads.

She glanced at them once more and proceeded to walk back to her bed, but her attention was suddenly drawn by a middle-aged maid who walked into the room.

Mirabel turned to the middle-aged lady and strolled towards her with a smile on her face.

“Mother Mary.” Mirabel bent her head a little as a sign of respect to her and straightened up.

“Mirabel.” The middle-aged lady half smiled and gently hugged her. She drew back from the embrace and her eyes fell on the twins, lying peacefully inside the cradle.

“Such beautiful boys.” She walked to the cradle, tenderly touching the cheek of the black-haired one. She turned her head to look at the white-haired one, and an unknown glint flashed in her eyes as her brow creased a bit.

“Mirabel-” She turned towards Mirabel, who was staring at her and raised her brow. “You do know what will happen next, right?”

“I do not know what you’re talking about, mother Mary.” Mirabel tilted her chin up and rested her hands on the white gown she was wearing.

“Mirabel, I do understand how you feel, but you do know that there is no way we can-”

“Nobody will touch or harm my babies.” Mirabel scoffed and walked to the bed to sit down.

Mother Mary stared at her and shook her head in disagreement. “Mirabel, please do not fight back, or there might be consequences which you might not suffer from, but someone else may.” She bowed to Mirabel and turned around to leave, but Mirabel stopped her. She stood up from the bed.

“Did you see a new vision?”
